Colyer argues aid should focus on Syrians in region rather than resettlement
In interviews at the Statehouse, Dr. Colyer, a Johnson County plastic surgeon and International Medical Corps volunteer, says the real problem is helping Syrians in Syria and neighboring countries. He notes four million refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey and argues direct humanitarian aid near the border outweighs resettling 10,000 refugees. He cites ISIS threats and supports proper clearance for refugees while urging more aid to Syrians affected by the war.
