F. Murray Abraham: Open Our Doors to Syrians

MFA spokesperson F. Murray Abraham urges the U.S. to open its doors to Syrian refugees in his New York Times letter to the editor.

To the Editor:

President Trump can save the remaining beautiful Syrian babies by opening our doors to them. Please do it now.

If America hadn’t welcomed my father’s family fleeing from a terrible famine in Syria, they would have all died. My father taught us to be grateful and loyal in return.

We are proud Syrian-Americans. We should welcome those seeking refuge now from the terrible atrocities of the Syrian war to become proud Syrian-Americans as well.
