Even Syrian Americans Don’t Want Syrian Refugees Coming To America

Just as President Obama moves forward with his plan to bring 10,000 Syrian refugees into the country, despite a majority of some 64 percent of Americans opposing the plan, we find out that Syrian Americans don’t even want more Syrians[1] in the country.

A few days ago, a pastor asked Syrian-born restaurant owner Marie Jarrah to donate food to a welcoming event for recently arrived Syrian refugees. Jarrah, who said she regularly helps people in need, declined.

Like many of Allentown[3]‘s establishment Syrians, she doesn’t think it’s a good idea to bring refugees to the city. She clung to that view even before last week’s terrorist attacks in Paris. “Problems are going to happen,” said Jarrah, co-owner of Damascus Restaurant in a heavily Syrian enclave.

As debate intensifies nationally over the federal government’s plan to accept an additional 10,000 refugees from war-ravaged Syria, a similar argument is taking place in Allentown — one with a sectarian twist.

Pennsylvania’s third-largest city is home to one of the nation’s largest populations of Syrians. They are mostly Christian and, in no small number, support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad — a dynamic that’s prompting some of them to oppose the resettlement of refugees, who are Muslim and say they fled violence perpetrated by the Assad regime.’

Please liberal media, keep calling us racists and xenophobics just because we oppose more Muslim mass migration. But, even the Syrian Americans are on our side.
