Madam Speaker, my grandparents came from Ukraine and I would love to go back and visit. However, Ukraine is still a very unstable area in the world. They would not have left Ukraine if it would not have been for the issues in the late 1800s.
People who are Syrian and Iraqi love their country. Their memories are dear and sweet, but then there are also horrific memories. They would like to stay in their country if they could. If we can push back the evil, join our allies and carry above our weight as we always have, then I am sure the people whose homes are in Syria, where their memories are, would want to stay. That will only happen if we continue to carry above our weight. If we start backing off and playing politics with this issue, they will not be able to go back.
