Syrians Could Soon Be Next Refugee Group To Call San Diego Home

The U.S. State Department announced this week it will take in up to 8,000 Syrian refugees next year, and many of them could settle in San Diego.

“It’s a double edge sword because on one hand, it’s saddening to see the population of Syria — especially the educated class or other qualified individuals — leaving the area, which is going to keep it in turmoil for longer,” said Sohaib Alagha, vice president of the Syrian American Council and a San Diego resident. “But at the same time, people are trying to survive.”
