The White House says it has met its goal of resettling 10,000 Syrian refugees this year. That’s only about 0.2 percent of the total number of Syrian refugees registered with the United Nations. Many human rights organizations are calling on the U.S. to accept more Syrians. On Monday, Amnesty International wrote, “So many are still trapped in horrific conditions in refugee camps or war zones. The U.S. must do more.” Nearly 5 million Syrians are currently displaced outside of their country.
