[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Again, it's not just about YOU. It's about what the individual refugee wants.[/quote]

Really? Do you really mean that? The individual refugees want to get out of camps, they want to get out of their worn-torn homeland. Are you now willing to a accept individual refugees that want to come to the US? That is a radical change in your position.

I assume that the PP's mother could have stayed in the camp in which she lived for 5 years. Or, she could have returned to the country from which she fled, but she wanted to come to the US instead. Why should would deny that opportunity to those who now share the fate her mother once had is difficult to understand.

I was responding to the PP, not to you. Restore my thread, and we can have a discussion. [/quote]
? Are you the PP with the refugee grandparents?  Your posts are very confusing.

Are you saying that refugees should do what they want to do?  If they don't want to go west as refugees that they shouldn't be forced to?  That we should instead build a refugee camp somewhere (though, where that would be is a big question), manage it so that it is well run, while at the same time fix the mess that is Syria right now?   No one is forcing these people to come here.  Are you suggesting we are?

There are syrian refugee camps, but the volume of refugees is staggering.

"Syria’s civil war is the worst humanitarian crisis of our time. Half the country’s pre-war population — more than 11 million people — have been killed or forced to flee their homes.

Families are struggling to survive inside Syria, or make a new home in neighboring countries. Others are risking their lives on the way to Europe, hoping to find acceptance and opportunity. And harsh winters and hot summers make life as a refugee even more difficult. At times, the effects of the conflict can seem overwhelming.

But one fact is simple: millions of Syrians need our help. According to the U.N., it will take $7.7 billion to meet the urgent needs of the most vulnerable Syrians in 2016."
