Syrian Refugees: Security Worries and Syrian War

syrian refugees: Other countries are taking in more, though vast numbers of Syrians remains dispossessed, according to Metro News. And even the limited number of Syrians coming to America is a source of hot contention in the presidential campaign as humanitarian impulses tangle with security worries in the debate.___WHERE THEY STANDRepublican Donald Trump has repeatedly called for a moratorium on accepting Syrian refugees. But of the millions of exiles from the Syrian war, only about 10,000 have reached U.S. shores. His position is part of a broader stance on immigrants that has ranged from a complete ban on foreign Muslim immigrants entering the United States "until we know what the hell is going on" to "extreme" vetting and an ideological test for would-be immigrants from countries and regions plagued by extremism.

Democrat Hillary Clinton has said she would expand President Barack Obama refugee program to accept about 65,000 Syrian refugees. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
