Many Syrian refugees have been displaced from their homeland by the still on-going civil war. As a result, these Syrian refugees have to live in crowded settlements in harsh desert lands far from their homeland. Other nations such as Jordan and Turkey have made extensive efforts to allow refugees to take refuge in their countries. The United States has only agreed to accept fewer than those nations. With the recent executive order that had been passed, even less refugees can be saved. When America, the land of the free, takes actions that limit the number of helpless men, women, and children escaping a deathly civil war, we must ask ourselves. is this the land of the free?
