Whitehouse Is Actively Considering New Measures To Bring On Syrian Refugees [VIDEO] According to a recent announcement from the White House, they are actively considering a range of approaches for handling the Syrian refugee crisis that could mean that the cap on migrants allowed in the country is lifted. Press Secretary Josh Earnest did not give much information, but did argue that the policies are still under review by the State Department. We continue to be concerned about the vulnerable position of so many people who are fleeing violence in their home countries, Earnest told reporters. The United States [is]prepared to continue to play a leading role in trying to assist those organizations that are trying to meet the needs and basic humanitarian needs of these individuals. In fact, migrants just arrived on Lesbos Island, Greece after being relocated from Turkey. Now, the island has gone from a population to 10,000 to housing nearly 20,000 migrants from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. To date, the United States has only taken in 1,500 migrantsbut it looks like this could quickly escalate. I dont have any new approaches to announce at this point, an Obama spokesman told reporters. Of course, the U.S. has already donated more than $4 billion to the cause. The White House did point out that neighboring countries continue to graciously host the bulk of refugees and that countries around the world should be having a more robust response to the crisis. It does appear this situation is worsening, Earnest continued. And that is why the United States is going to continue to consider additional steps that we can take. What do you think? Should the United States be forced to take on these migrants?
