The United States will give $419 million more in humanitarian aid to assist Syrian refugees and the countries that are hosting them, administration officials said Monday.
The new aid brings the total U.S. donation since the Syrian conflict began in 2011 to $4.5 billion, more than any other country. It was announced a day after Secretary of State John F. Kerry said the United States would raise its annual refugee resettlement cap from 70,000 this fiscal year to 85,000 next year and 100,000 in 2017.
The United States has been the single largest donor of humanitarian aid to Syrians who have been displaced within their war-torn country or who have become refugees.

Traditionally, you either bribe them or kill them, but helping them invade us is beyond the pale.
It’s treason.
Yup. Europe won’t recover from this invasion in our lifetimes.
Or our kids.
Or likely their kids either.
Yep!
Forgive my naivete, but where is all this money coming from? Are we just printing it or borrowing it from______?
Trump could get a far better deal than that.
The “Syrian refugees” are primarily (80%) men of fighting age fleeing their countries (not necessarily only Syria). So these cowards are fleeing their Muslim sh!thole countries rather than fight and we have a bunch of Progressive morons willing to actually give them money and aid. Just what the West needs, a bunch of cowardly losers.
Oh, and I’m sure they feel so grateful. /s
You don;t understand. See, these are the new lovers for all the bored white-male-hating white married women who are looking for some new thrills. Watch the dating sites where white married women place ads to hook up with “exotic” far east men. Sooner or later there’s a market for every new product.
But I thought all the money we saved by not being in Iraq was in the stimulus and Ocare?
My son spent many a drunken evening across the world while in the Navy, and I am grossly offended that his mischievous pranks are equated with this treason.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Population density, 1993
In 2011, the Syrian population was estimated at roughly 23 million permanent inhabitants, including people with refugee status from Palestine.
$4.5 Billion ~23 million= $196,000.00 each
Syrians be living large now!
Ummm...you’ve sort of overmisestimating by a factor of 1000.
Our tax money is being used to fund global jihad. Lovely.
This is why it resonates so much when Trump points out how stupid our government is. They are providing funds to help people who will very likely support or become terrorists, kill Americans and push for Sharia law.
Paying for the rope for our own noose.
Your math is off. By a lot. Try again.
It sounded good. I was using my chinese calculator
Syrians still living large thanks to us.
