America and the Syrian Refugees

 

Since the Civil War happening in Syrian, millions of people have trekked hundreds of mile on foot or crossing Mediterranean to other countries for asylum. In 2015, according to International Organization for Migration, more than 3,770 refugees died or went missing in Mediterranean while attempting to reach out the Europe.
