The United States should invite 25,000 Syrian families to send one child 10 years or younger to the United States. There they would stay in foster homes until the war is over. The family could reclaim them any time they choose (they should leave instruction if the child would be available for adoption or be retrieved by other family members if they perish). Because of the age of the children, nobody could claim that they pose a security risk.
