As civil war and Islamic State-related violence rend Syria, thousands are fleeing the country and looking to resettle.

While some countries, such as Canada, are welcoming Syrian refugees with open arms, others, such as the United States, have been more xenophobic.

Renowned graffiti artist Banksy recently did an installation in a Calais refugee camp depicting Steve Jobs as a Syrian refugee.

"We're often led to believe migration is a drain on the country's resources but Steve Jobs was the son of a Syrian migrant," Banksy said in a rare public statement obtained by BBC.

Indeed, Jobs's biological father is Abdulfattah "John" Jandali, a Syrian-born man who emigrated to the United States.
