With or Without a Ban, We Should Seek a Solution for Refugees

   The plight of the Syrian refugees remains one of the larger humanitarian crises of our time. So, then, finding a solution remains one of the larger societal needs.  President Trump's ban goes the other way, though, reducing the help already extended to the refugees. Now that a federal judge has struck down part of Trump's order, we wait to see what will happen.
   I didn't so much as find the order in the listing of presidential actions at whitehouse.gov when I checked about an hour ago. Has it been removed due to the judge's action?
  Of note, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this evening issued a statement calling on people and governments to seek solutions for those fleeing physical violence, war, and religious persecution.
   Bless President Trump, for he could yet take action to help. Bless him that he might. As leader of the free world, he is in position to help find a way to ease the refugees' suffering.
