The International Rescue Committee is another organization that supports the United States inviting Syrian refugees to build new lives within its borders. The organization's president and CEO David Miliband highlights that in recent history the United States has taken half of the world's registered refugees who resettle beyond the countries directly bordering a war-torn country. Based on this history, the International Rescue Committee supports the United Nations' resettlement number of 65,000 Syrians, according to the Huffington Post.
