Sad to see so many dismissive and negative comments posted.  Globally, the number of refugees are at historic levels.  Think for a moment what it would take to stir you and your family to flee all that you know, your home, your possessions, your neighborhood, even your country.  For us to turn a blind eye to those fleeing for their safety, and even for their lives, is unconscionable. 
Certainly we cannot solve the refugee issue.  But we can do something.  We can do more as a nation and as individuals with compassion and a desire to help.
