Do NOT Resettle Syrian Refugees in the U.S

Created by Y.L. on September 09, 2015

As a knee-jerk reaction to the tragic death of a 3 year-old boy, some activists urge the US to take Syrian refugees. It's a recommendation more dangerous than us taking ~100,000 Somali refugees in 1990s. Young men of Somali descents and Islamic converts tied to Somali refugees joined IS from U.S.
Opening door to bigger number of Syrian refugees will also offer bad incentive to refugees who already get safety in another country.
Disturbingly, the nearby countries, especially Saudi Arabia and Gulf states refuse to take their fellow refugees, and their silence is deafening.
We urge US government to pressure Arab countries to solve the issue. Syrian refugees should NOT enter US until after Arab countries take their fair share of responsibility, and US know how to cope with refugees securely.
