We in the US did not care. 63 million elected a guy who lacks even a drop of empathy. The fate of Syrian refugees is not what he and his 63 million toadies worry about. As long as the safety nets are torn apart, the natural environment is destroyed, and non-whites are shoved into the corners where we belong, well, their mission is accomplished.
Of course, the refugees being Muslims makes it all the easier for the 63 million bigots to close the door, even though the Syrians are not dark-skinned as most of us from shithole countries are. So, more than a year into his monarchy, er, presidency:
In the last years of the Obama administration, the US resettled tens of thousands of Syrian refugees. When Trump took office, that number plummeted — partly because of the 120-day “refugee ban” that prevented nearly any refugees from being brought into the US over the summer of 2017, and partly because of specific scrutiny facing refugees from several countries, including Syria.
The result is that the US is on pace to resettle fewer than 100 Syrian refugees in the fiscal year that ends September 30. And it might not even be that many.
We might not even resettle 100 refugees this year. Not even a 100 out of the more than 5.5 million Syrians who have fled the country!
The global refugee crisis is, by some measures, worse than ever. And the Syrian civil war, and the world’s response to it, is a big part of why. Syria accounts for 24 percent of the world’s 22.5 million refugees recognized by the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees. (Before the war, Syria had about 21 million people, or 0.3 percent of the world’s population.)
But what truly distinguishes the current refugee crisis is that now, more than ever before, refugees are likely to remain displaced for years or even decades, instead of being able to either return home or be permanently resettled in a third country.
The 63 million bigoted bastards "fundamentally don’t believe that there is such a thing as the “global refugee crisis." Exactly what their religious leader advised them to do, right?!
