WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Dick Durbin used his seat as ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration to move the discussion forward on allowing Syrian refugees.
Durbin said the numbers of the bloodshed and instability of Syria just keep getting worse and it’s now the largest refugee crisis in history.
“More than 65 million people have been forcibly displaced from their homes in the brutal Syrian conflict, the epicenter of this crisis has killed hundreds of thousands injured more than a million and displaced more than half of the Syria’s entire population,” Durbin said.
Durbin said children are bearing the brunt of the suffering.
“An entire generation of children has known nothing but war,” Durbin said.
Durbin cited the analysis of former CIA Director Michael Hayden, who notes the global refugee crisis is straining the resources and infrastructures of Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey.
