There are a lot of us that want to see limitations on refugee resettlement programs.

We can and must do our part to increase the number of Syrian refugees being resettled in the U.S.

I'll work to ensure that every single refugee who seeks asylum in the United States has a fair chance to tell his or her story. This is the least we can offer people fleeing persecution and devastation.

My commitment to refugees comes from a very personal place.

We need to hit pause, and possibly reset, as we think about this whole Syrian refugee resettlement issue.

We're so lucky where we live, but we're so out of touch. Everyone's mindset is made to feel that refugees are a problem, but it's more than that. They're human beings, too. They were forced from their homes.

I want to stop the influx of new immigrants. This way, we can give those who are already here the opportunity to fully integrate into our society.

We should involve the whole world in the handling of this refugee crisis.

We create refugees, and then our Democratic Party, together with the Republicans, who are also a party to this, are criminalizing them and sending them back, inhumanely.

I feel, in 2015, when we see human beings and children dying to cross the ocean, trying to find safety, something more must be done to help them because refugees are just like me and you.
