As before, most went to neighboring Syria, and some fanned out into other neighboring countries, the survey by the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants said. It said the United States accepted few, just over half the 3,000 it had promised to resettle by the end of September. The report said the office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees had referred 10,000 Iraqis for U.S. resettlement. Entire Article: Click Here You would think that at least 500,000 people would be coming into Iraq. I mean, with all that freedom and democracy being spread around, who could resist not wanting to be part of it. Hmmm.......weird.
