Syrian refugees waited on the Syrian side of the border near Sanliurfa, Turkey, June 10. Bishop Eusebio Elizondo, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Migration, says the United States should welcome Syrian refugees and work for peace.

BALTIMORE — The head of the U.S. bishops' Committee on Migration said he was disturbed by calls from federal and state officials for an end to the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the United States.

“These refugees are fleeing terror themselves — violence like we have witnessed in Paris,” said Seattle Auxiliary Bishop Eusebio Elizondo, chairman of the migration committee. “They are extremely vulnerable families, women, and children who are fleeing for their lives. We cannot and should not blame them for the actions of a terrorist organization.”

    I agree for a change. Because America trained, armed and funded ISIS, they are responsible for causing the problem. All the states in the US who are refusing to take in refugees are all the ones with the most Christians living in them. Who every year have a festival, hold plays and reenactments of a middle eastern couple fleeing persecution, having every door slammed in their face, no room at the Inn, and forced to give birth in a poxy stable… Oh the irony!
