The piece argues for higher Syrian refugee intake, contrasting Clinton’s plan to 65,000 with Trump’s stance to halt arrivals. It cites extensive refugee screening, notes UNICEF data on women and children, and reframes the issue as moral duty, linking liberty to safety and tolerance. It references Kerry and Obama era policies and cites individual refugees as examples of victims and contributors.
