I haven't seen this number anywhere as far as number of syrian refugees for the US to accept.
I've heard numbers from 10k to 100k. I'm guessing they'll sneak in a lot more than 10k thru the back door. The official number from Canada is 25k. Trudeau is refusing to even push back the schedule to properly vet them all. Incredible. Do they have to set off a nuclear bomb on the White House lawn or in Montreal before we open our eyes? Canada will accept 25,000 Syrian refugees; shared border with New York a concern | New York's PIX11 / WPIX-TV
Weve let in 2000 and are expectingg to let in 10k total
Your numbers are a lie

The U.S. is offering new details about its plan to ease the Syrian refugee crisis by significantly increasing the number of worldwide refugees it will take in over the next two years.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the U.S. will accept 85,000 refugees from around the world next year, up from 70,000, and the number will rise to 100,000 in 2017.
Aides to Kerry say that many, though not all, of the additional refugees would be Syrian.
Its 85000 from the entire world not Syria. In the past two years only 2000 have come from Syria
