With more than 65 million people forcibly displaced around the globe. we must not lower our torchwe must raise it higher. Our national values demand it. and our national interest requires it. As we reflect upon the fate of refugees across the world. we must reclaim our history as a refuge for the persecuted. Todayand every dayI stand with refugees. Over the past 5 years. the world has witnessed millions of Syrians desperately fleeing the terror inflicted by ISIS and Bashar AlAssads regime. Hundreds of thousands have died. and more than half of Syrias 23 million people have been forced from their homes.
