No Syrians allowed here

According to data from the U.S. State Departmentâ€s Refugee Processing Center, almost all of the Syrian refugees resettled in Virginia since October have been placed in towns with lower incomes and higher poverty rates.

And,  Syrian  refugees are resettled  hours away from the wealthy suburbs of the capital, Washington D.C.

 Ninety-two percent  of Syrian refugees placed in Virginia are 100 miles away from Washington D.C.

 Specific statistics:  of  the 121 Syrian refugees placed in Virginia so far, 112 have been placed in communities at least 100 miles away from the nationâ€s capital.

105 were placed in cities where median incomes fall below the state average.

The D.C. suburban counties of Fairfax, Loudoun and Arlington are all among the nationâ€s wealthiest and, according to U.S. census data, collectively have roughly 1.7 million residents. The three counties closest to Washington D.C  have resettled a grand total of nine Syrian refugees.   All  nine refugees resettled near Washington D. C. were placed in the city of Falls Church.
