what mr. lynch was talking about. there is a big difference between refugees and asylum-seekers. somehow, we put those two toget her, assuming they are one and the same. indeed, they are not one and the same. they have different processes. i serve on the global health human rights and foreign affairs committee. there is nothing more close to my heart in terms of trying to help those truly in need. what mr. lynch was talking about really comes to mind -- what are the places that are most troubled from a standpoint of people needing asylum or refugee totus, what countries come mind as being the most horrific right now? pick, ortry would you the twop two. >> i guess you could look at it in terms of numbers, and of course, you have syria. >> so syria would be number one. >> i am not going to rate them right now. >> so it would be in the top five? quite yes. >> and the reason i mention that is because mr. lynch is talking place youthe worst can see is syria. he is talking about this mass infiltration of
