Syrian Refugees, at Home in Iowa
Robin Shulman
As this divisive election comes to an end there’s a hopeful, poignant report for Time by grantee Robin Shulman, detailing the new life of a Syrian family of seven in the suburbs of Des Moines. The parents have found work in a local hotel, the mother is enrolled in English classes, the children are happily settled in school. A neighbor across the street, a supporter of Donald Trump, tells Robin that he has come to realize that his worries over accepting Syrian refugees were misplaced. “Obviously they’re not bringing anything but children playing outside,” he says. “I see kids kicking a soccer ball, riding their bikes, playing with each other.”
