We saw one of those photos just a few months ago of a tiny 3yearold boy who drowned just as he was about to make it into Greece. Dr. Sahloul tells that story so that some of usall of uswill understand the desperation of these refugees. It is now very popular among politicians to blame the Syrian refugees for terrorism in America. We have not accepted that many refugees in our country. The numbers are about 2.000. At this point. not a single person among those refugees has been arrested and charged with terrorism. Yet one would think that these Syrian refugees are the greatest threat there is to America. I will include the article I referred to in the RECORD so that those who follow this debate and follow the proceedings on the floor can read firsthand and for themselves Dr. Sahlouls story and the story of these Syrian refugees. I ask unanimous consent that the article be printed in the RECORD.
