While many of these children and families dont qualify for international protection and would be better off not risking the dangerous journey. which the Senate bill seeks to address. many others have legitimate claims to protection because of the violence and persecution they have suffered in their home countries. That is why this is a humanitarian issue. That is why we cant expect other countries with far fewer resourcessuch as Jordan or Turkey or Ethiopiato accept far larger numbers of refugees from outside their borders if we are not willing to do our part. The little country of Jordan is being overwhelmed by hundreds of thousands of refugees from Syria. We say: Oh. thank you for doing that. Here we are talking about a tiny percentage compared to the size of our country.
