Seth Meyers Pushes For U.S. To Take in More Syrian Refugees

In a monologue Wednesday night, NBC’s Late Night host Seth Meyers took the opportunity to advocate for the United States increasing the number of Syrian refugees that are entering the country.

“The point is the war in Syria is a complex problem with no easy answers,” Meyers said. “And so far a lot of the things the Obama Administration and Congress have tried have not worked.”

“But one clear-cut thing we could do right now would be to take in more refugees. We can’t keep saying, ‘We’re the best country in the world’ and be surprised people want to come here. They’re just fleeing a war-torn region hoping for a better life somewhere. And that life is in America, a country with cable TV and a pool,” Meyers concluded.
