Two weeks into FY2016, 51 Syrians arrive in US; Kentucky 'welcomed' the most

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

As we know, the Obama Administration is aiming to resettle 10,000 Syrians this year.  The resettlement contractors, including the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, are pushing for 100,000 (btw, this post on the Bishops and 100,000 took off on social media in the last few days).
