Default Exodus of Middle East Catholics??

I know there are many trying to flee until things settle down over there. But, I am not hearing anything about the U.S. or any Catholic organization that is bringing families to the U.S.

They are fleeing to Saudi Arabia and I don't know where else. But, is there some organization that allows a family to come here?

Very few can get permission to enter the US. You need to either be a political target, or have a job and a sponsor in the US...

It's both expensive and hard to obtain the documents without a corporate sponsor.
