Two brothers, Jamil and Ammar, fled Syria in 2012, with their wives and children. After four years waiting in Jordan, they finally received a visa and traveled to the United States as refugees. They arrived on Nov. 8, 2016, which happened to be Election Day. It was, of course, a loaded moment. In effect, the brothers and their families landed in one country and woke up the next morning in another.
While the names were changed, the story is not a fiction. It's about the second family JCARR (Jewish Community Alliance for Refugee Resettlement) welcomed to our country. Read their story in this engaging 20-part commix published in the New York Times.
