<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nAccording to Reuters<\/a>, John Kerry has promised to make more room in this country for more Syrian refugees. The US has taken in 1500 refugees since the Syrian civil war began and 300 more are expected by next month. So, just like last year’s Ice Bucket Challenge, the Senate is falling for the peer pressure to try and be more charitable than the Europeans.<\/p>\n After attending the meeting with Kerry, Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy pushed for lawmakers to pass an amendment to restore $416 million in refugee aid that had been cut from the fiscal year 2016 Senate foreign aid bill.<\/p>\n Republican Senator John McCain, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, made an emotional Senate speech calling for the United States to do more.<\/p>\n “Our government is doing what it has sadly done too often in the past. We are ceding our strength and averting our eyes,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So, let me get this straight; the government makes bad policy in regards to Syria, the civil war goes on years more than it has to, it spawned ISIS, we went back to Iraq, and now we’re going to take more refugees that resulted from bad policy. So, the government makes bad decisions and the taxpayers pick up the check.<\/p>\n Kerry announced that the US will take in 5000 more Syrian refugees boosting our total number of refugees that we take in next year to 75,000, according to Associated Press<\/a>. Apparently, that doesn’t include the number of migrants from the Mexican border that are also arriving next year.<\/p>\n I’ll bet that Assad had a price that we could have paid for him to leave Syria that would have saved us a lot more money than we are spending because he stayed. Now Russia has a lot to do with what is happening in Syria, but I don’t see them lining up to take in refugees. In fact, according to the <\/p>\n Christian Science Monitor<\/a>, the Russians have increased their presence on Assad’s side in Syria. Last night, Reuters<\/a> reported that the Russians deployed a number of naval infantry to fight alongside the Syrian government troops. <\/p>\n
