I’ve done a lot of research over the past few weeks over the Syrian refugee crisis. I’ve found the Al-Assad family has led Syria for over 46 years. Hafiz Al-Assad led from 1971-2000, and then Bashar Al-Assad from 2000 to present day. I also discovered that in 2011 many neighboring Middle Eastern countries had revolutions, over throwing their ruthless dictatorships.

    “Everyone is just walking along concerned with his own problems, his own life, his own worries. And we're all expecting other people to tune into our own agenda. ‘Look at my worry. Worry with me. Step into my life. Care about my problems. Care about me,’”-Sharon Creech. Likewise to what Sharon Creech has stated, many country leaders and citizens pay more attention to their own agenda and self problems instead of worldwide dilemmas. In addition, the holocaust is one of the most disastrous and devastating predicaments that have struck the world in anguish and terror, however the people at that time ignored the huge quandary taking place in Central Europe. Factors such as social media, Isis, and the mixed motivations of “rescuers” today can

Like many of the 70,000 refugees who are accepted into the United States every year, Syrian refugees search for shelter from wars and hope of a prosperous future (Welsh 1). Teresa Welsh, a writer for the “U.S. News and World Report”, describes in her article “Why the U.S. Can’t Resettle Syrian Refugees” that “the U.S. should be doing more to help resettle those fleeing conflict and repressive governments in the Middle East and Asia” (Welsh 1).
