For Syrian refugees, South Florida is a beacon of hope

President Barack Obama announced recently that the United States will admit at least 10,000 refugees from Syria in 2016.

Since January, Florida has taken in 104 Syrian refugees. Of those, 26 have been placed in the Miami area, according to the State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration.

Before a refugee arrives in South Florida, or any other location, they must first apply for resettlement with the United Nations High Commissioner of Refugee Office.

If it’s determined that resettlement is a better solution, the UN will refer individuals and families to countries taking in refugees. If the applicant passes a series of background checks and interviews, they will be permitted to enter a country for resettlement.

The potential host country conducts background checks and interviews. If approved for resettlement, resettlement agencies like the International Rescue Committee aids families, helping them transition to their new country.

I've spent over 4yrs in British jails; - "Exposure" is my name among others - due to the "real" crimes I have witnessed and not from the guys behind the bars as it is/was by the guys in uniforms, suits and ties aka Banksters and places like the Houses of Parliament full of pedo politicians!!
