WASHINGTON – Americans from across the political spectrum have united to welcome 10,000 displaced Syrian refugees into their hearts and homes, after Air Mobility Command flew them out of the war torn country last week.
“There were a lot of concerns about safety, disease, and precedent-setting,” said Malcolm Thomas, a spokesman for the Department of State Refugee Service. “But then I look into these eyes and there’s just no way I can say no to them. They’re so soulful, almost human.”
The homeless Syrians have been placed in 18 states, mostly at nice farms upstate where they have plenty of room to play.
“Oh, I have room on the floor of my house for one more, and these guys have been through so much.” said Meghan Richards, who took in one of the refugees. “Let’s be honest though. Give it a week and they’ll be sleeping in the bed.”
