U.S. Could Exceed Goal of Accepting 10,000 Syrian Refugees
By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS
AUGUST 5, 2016
BALTIMORE — When Madiha Algothany and her family, Syrian refugees who had
fled to Jordan, arrived in the United States in June, they braced for
rejection from a new culture and country they feared did not want them.
They knew that, like Donald J. Trump, many Americans wanted to stop Muslims
from coming into the country.
But Ms. Algothany and her husband and their four sons found a furnished town
home in Baltimore waiting for them, along with a case worker to help them
navigate their new life — part of an effort President Obama announced last
fall to resettle 10,000 people displaced by the war in Syria by the end of
September.
After a slow start and amid fierce political controversy, the Obama
administration is on track to meet that target and probably exceed it,
according to figures it released on Friday.
“We were told it will be very difficult for us in the U.S. because the
people don’t like us and they don’t want to deal with us, but what I found
is that people received us very well,” Ms. Algothany, 32, said in an
interview this week, speaking through an interpreter at a resettlement
center run by the International Rescue Committee. “They are really spending
a lot of time and effort helping us, to answer our questions and help us in
our life.”
Ms. Algothany’s family is one in a rapidly growing influx of Syrian
refugees — 99 percent of them Muslim — arriving in communities around the
United States. Administration officials said on Friday that 8,000 Syrian
refugees had been allowed into the United States since October, putting them
on pace to surpass the goal of 10,000.
