US expects to reach target of resettling 10,000 Syrian refugees
A Syrian Kurdish woman crosses the border between Syria and Turkey at the southeastern town of Suruc in Sanliurfa province on September 23, 2014. The UN refugee agency warned Tuesday that as many as 400,000 people may flee to Turkey from Syria's Kurdish region to escape attacks by the Islamic State group. As of Sunday about 10,000 Syrian refugees have been resettled in the US in the period running from September 30 of last year through now. But admissions increased in May, after the US started staffing at key processing locations in Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq and Egypt, making it faster for interview processes. But not everyone is happy about the accomplishment. Critics of the resettlement program, have told concern about the potential for ISIS or other terrorist groups to use the refugee flows.
