Currently, the United States of America allows for a total of only 85,000 refugees to seek safety here and immigrate here from their home countries. of this 85,000, only 34,000 are allowed in from Near East/South Asia. Since the outbreak of civil war in Syria, some 11 million people have had to flee their homes in order to keep themselves and their families safe. If even five percent of these refugees seek safety within the United States borders, it would take another 11 years for them to all be allowed into the country, the Syrian civil war started in 2011. It is my personal wish to increase the limit of refugees allowed into the US every year to at least 119,000, and the number allowed in from Near East/South Asia to 58,000.
