4. The U.S. should open its doors to receive many more refugees. Even with more
adequate funding for humanitarian assistance, some Syrians feel they will never be able
to return home safely and wish to resettle in a third country. Many in our faith
communities have a long and rich history of welcoming refugees. We encourage the U.S.
to accept more Syrian refugees and to expedite the processing of these applications.
After more than four years, the Syria crisis feels intractable. But it is a human-made, political
crisis. We can find a way forward, if we are willing to dedicate our collective long-term vision
and energies to resolving the crisis.
May you experience wisdom, courage and strength in the days ahead.
