Protestor says "Don't give into blind fear. Refugees are welcome here." Chanting "Let them in", hundreds of demonstrators rallied outside the White House in support of allowing Syrian refugees to enter the United States. The rally in Washington D.C. took place on Saturday, November 21, 2015. President Barack Obama has planned to allow 10,000 Syrian refugees to enter the United States. Earlier in the week, the U.S. House of Representatives had voted to make it harder for them to do so because of concerns that terrorists could pose as refugees and carry out attacks similar to those that recently took place in Paris. In addition, more than half of the country's governors have said they will no longer provide placement for the refugees. (Photo by Jeff Malet)
