Trump’s Syrian “safe area” is just another wall
Although he has yet to comment on the wall Turkey is constructing on its border with Syria, Trump has said, “I think Europe has made a tremendous mistake by allowing in these millions of people.”
Providing humanitarian support to sustain Syrian refugees in their countries of first arrival like Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon is not part of his solution to the Syrian refugee crisis. He would contain them in their own country, denying them the chance to seek asylum abroad. And what of the people trapped there? He says he will create “a big beautiful safe zone” for them:
So we’re going to keep our country safe… And what I want to do is build safe zones in Syria and other places so they can stay there and live safely until their cities and their country… We’re going to have the Gulf States pay for those safe zones. They have nothing but money. And we’re going to do it that way, instead of taking massive numbers - tens of thousands of people - into our country, and we don’t know anything about those people.
