As part of the massive exodus from the Middle East, Texas could soon become home to hundreds of Syrian refugees fleeing their war-stricken country more than 7,100 miles away. “It’s true, nowadays, territorial security conditions are not the same as they were in other periods (of mass migration)”, he said.

The British leader said helping the refugees is a moral imperative, but that “there is also a real connection to the refugee crisis in Europe“.
National Syrian Project for Prosthetic Limbs is a program, operated by UK-based Syria Relief, that builds prosthetics and offers physical therapy to Syrians who’ve lost their limbs in the conflict.
Tens of thousands of refugees have been trekking from Greece via the Balkans and Hungary towards western Europe.
But he argued the scheme would encourage more to risk the Mediterranean crossing, which has claimed many lives. “We’ve heard that ISIS is going to become more unsafe here in Turkey in the coming days, so it will be safer for us to go to Germany“, Nour said, surrounded by her friends.
“The resettlement of 20,000 refugees over five years is certainly a relief to the concerned individuals, but the number is too small to be a significant relief to the refugee crisis as such”. It’s a little bit invidious because they’re not funding us one penny, and they don’t want us to do what we are doing, in terms of supporting refused asylum seekers, because they want to send them back. “That concerns me”, Mr McCaul told ABC television’s This Week programme.
During his visit, Cameron announced that he will be appointing Richard Harrington as minister for Syrian refugees to ensure the arrivals are given a “warm welcome” in Britain.
Earlier yesterday, Cameron met in Beirut with his Lebanese counterpart, Tammam Salam, and visited an encampment of Syrian refugees in the eastern Bekaa Valley, close to the Syrian border.
That means at least 20,000 of the Syrians fleeing their war-torn homeland have been brainwashed already, after being picked on at refugee camps by ISIS recruiters.
Mr Cameron held talks with King Abdullah in the Jordanian monarch’s palace in capital Amman.
You might be forgiven for getting the impression, from reading coverage of the refugee crisis, that the refugees are mostly showing up in Europe.
Besides friendly neighbors and agencies in place to ease their transition, refugees are drawn by the region’s strong economy and the willingness of many local employers to provide refugees with jobs – often, Baer said, in areas such as food manufacturing, seasonal field work and warehousing.
Cameron also says, “Our goal remains to support the development of a secure, stable and peaceful Syria“. The boy – wearing a Barcelona shirt and a prosthetic leg – told the PM he had been living in the camp with his father for nine months but wanted to return home to Syria.
With some European Union member states neglecting to accept quotas of refugees and stagnating US foreign policy in the region as Russian Federation enters the conflict, Syrian Americans personally connected to the crisis feel nearly helpless.

Asked about the possibility the process could be revived, the PM said: “The question is really for the Russians in so many ways, because they have been propping up what is a murderous regime that set about this onslaught on its own people“. It is entirely consistent that we should continue to provide for these groups rather than become involved in housing some of those who wish to seek asylum in Germany.
