NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – “America is great, I love America, America is my country, America is my home,” says Fouad Zeton. Retired boxer and restaurateur Fouad Zeton migrated to America roughly thirty years ago.

And amid the Paris attacks and the Syrian refugee crisis, he says the question for what to do next, is an easy one.

“There will never be peace in Syria without moving Assad out of power,” says Fouad Zeton.

Zeton says he understands both sides when it comes to welcoming Syrian migrants into America. But Thursday’s push by house Republicans and Democrats, Including Louisiana state senator David Vitter, to make it more difficult for refugees seeking asylum, Isn’t sitting well with everyone.

“They shouldn’t stop it, they should help it. They should let the refugees come here and make a new life,” says Mooad Phaifullah.

The measure would only allow migrants to enter the country after personal approval from top national security officials.

And if the bill becomes law, vetting refugees could take anywhere from 18 months to several years.

“When they leave their country, they don’t leave to be bad, just to live and be good, just to survive, because everybody has a family,” says Phaifullah.

More than 4 million migrants have escaped Syria to seek refuge in other countries.

Experts are calling the Syrian Civil War the worst refugee crisis since the Rwandan genocide.
