A human rights group has called on the United States government to step up its outreach to Syrian refugees and resettle 65,000 people before the end of 2016. While the U.S. has said that it will accept between 5,000 to 8,000 refugees, the International Rescue Committee said that is far from enough to really help Europe in its migrant crisis.
"Not only are Syrians resorting to desperate measures to seek a better life for themselves and their families in Europe, but they are dying in the process," IRC president David Miliband said in a statement.
"The U.S. has historically been the world leader in recognizing the moral obligation to resettle refugees," Miliband added. "As the German government calmly says that it expects 800,000 refugees and asylum seekers in 2015, it is vital for the U.S. to step up its response."
Close to 4 million Syrians have fled their country due to the four-year-old civil war, but the vast majority of them are stuck in neighboring countries and waiting for Western countries to help them relocate.
The flow of refugees is overwhelming European borders, however, with U.K. Independence Party leader Nigel Farage calling it a crisis of "biblical proportions."
The refugees have been met with different responses throughout Europe, while some U.S. politicians, such as Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., have called on President Barack Obama to do more to help.
"The United States has a moral obligation to assist countries that are hosting Syrian refugees, but we also have a national security interest in maintaining stability in this critical region," Durbin said in a letter.
"Moreover, at this delicate moment in relations between the United States and the Arab world, offering safe haven to more Syrians refugees will send a positive signal about our concern for the suffering of innocent civilians."

Demand to send to muslim countries where they will not be offended.
the word on the street is they will re-populate Dtroit with Syrians.
How about a big FU?
'Nuff said!
Those who would facilitate this further invasion of the US should be treated as enemies and sanctioned accordingly by a future Administration or peoples’ court as necessary.
Go to hell!
(Get rid of Obama!)
Wondering why Muslim countries wont take them? B/c this is about barbarian hordes lusting after the riches of Christian countries. The hordes want to invade, wrest the country’s riches from Christians, destroy Christians, and establish their own Muslin caliphates.
HERE’S WHAT TO EXPECT: Muslim Killer on Disability and Food Stamps had Diamonds and 200 Credit Cards Hidden on Texas property
Front Page Magazine | 6/20/2014 | Daniel Greenfield / FR Posted by Dqban22
This sort of thing is surprisingly common. The only reason it came to light is because the Muslim settler committed two murders in Texas, one of which he actually got away with.
The murder of Christian believer, Gelareh Bagherzadeh, was reported earlier. Gelareh Bagherzadeh was an Iranian Christian who came to this country only to be murdered by a Muslim because she encouraged his daughter to marry the man she loved.
The Texas Muslim claimed he was too disabled to work. But he wasn’t too disabled to kill.
BACKSTORY The Texan, a strict Muslim, was furious when his Jordanian-American daughter married a man without his permission. The Muslim, Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan, blamed his daughter’s husband, relatives say. They say he also faulted one of her closest friends, 30-year-old Gelareh Bagherzadeh, a Christian convert who widely denounced Islam.
<><> First Christian-believer Bagherzadeh was killed, gunned down outside her parents’ Texas Galleria townhouse complex in January 2012.
<><> Eleven months later, Irsan’s son-in-law died after being shot multiple times in northwest Texas, in the Harris County apartment he shared with his wife.
The Texas Muslim thought he could get away with murdering because he had already gotten away with so many other things in Texas.
Federal authorities executed a search warrant at Irsan’s sprawling, 5-acre property 40 miles north of Houston, where they allegedly found cash, diamonds, pearls, weapons and phony passports hidden in attic rafters, in secret compartments throughout a cluster of trailers and outbuildings and even inside the buried drum of a clothes dryer at the Conroe, Texas property.
The Muslim Irsan, his wife Shmou Ali Alrawabdeh, and another daughter were subsequently arrested on a variety of federal fraud charges and are in federal custody.
A federal criminal complaint detailing the discoveries recounts a saga of nearly 20 years in which the 57-year-old naturalized citizen from Jordan, and his family, allegedly scammed taxpayer disability assistance funds claiming “fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptoms,” and “affective disorders” while secreting real estate, vehicles and cash in US and foreign bank accounts.
The complaint also alleges the Muslim Irsan:
<><> was receiving taxpayer funds for a son not living in the US,
<><> maintained several addresses on the property to facilitate various schemes, and,
<><> once disabled a safety feature on a saw then purposefully cut himself to receive a $75,000 settlement.
The Muslim Ali was certainly industrious and entrepreneurial, just not quite in the way amnesty advocates like to claim.
Also found on the property was a makeshift gun range, which witnesses said “five or six Muslim families” frequently visited to fire AK-47s and information about Irsan’s attempts to get a silencer. Nothing to do with Islam I’m sure.
The rest of the scam ...... While there have been no allegations of terrorist ties regarding the Muslim family’s alleged (a) foreign bank accounts, and, (b) suspicious wire transactions, Irsan’s strict adherence to radical Islam may have been a motive in the alleged murders.
Authorities are also re-examining a 1999 case in which Irsan was not indicted after claiming self-defense in the shooting of son-in-law Amjad Alidam, who was married to Nasemah Rachelle Irsan.
And that’s not all. Prosecutors also revealed, in connection to the social security fraud and credit card charges against Irsan, that they found more than 200 credit cards with various names and multiple variations of his own name throughout the Irwin Keel home.
Arresting officers say they also found more than 40 similar credit cards in his wallet the morning he was arrested. His daughter also alleges, among multiple other schemes detailed in court documents, that Ali Irsan purposely disabled the safety device on a Ryobi rotary saw and purposely cut his own foot. Prosecutors say he used that injury to receive a $75,000 settlement from the manufacturer.
Demands?
Really?
Detroit has all those empty buildings.
Muslim refugees should be re-settled in muslim countries.
No other answer even makes sense.
Oh, yeah, I forgot...
Those are Muslim garbage dump countries that no sane person wants to live in, and they don't pay welfare to foreigners.
How many thousands of Syrian muslims do they want to force on Saudi Arabia? Indo-China? India?
How about Kim Davis’ human rights?
The Koran says that Muslims are not to take advantage of other Muslims, but rather seek out the Infidel and take advantage of them.
What does it matter? It’s not as if we have borders. Illegal immigration is rewarded, legal immigration is impossible.
WE are the suckers. Pay up, grateful Yankee suckers! This is WASHINGTON DC’s country.
Can we send them 65000 Mexicans?
Your link doesn’t work. This one should:
The rub is most are Muzz.
