There are tens of millions of Kurds out there.

I do think that many (hundreds of thousands, even) of Syrian Kurds definitely deserve to be able to emigrate for refugee related reasons given the humanitarian catastrophe that Trump unleashed in Syria. If they want to come here and not somewhere else, that is.

Kurdish-Americans are a TINY group at the moment. Oddly enough, it seems that out of the 40k-ish Kurdish-Americans, about 15k of them live in Nashville, TN. Immigrants tend to go where existing communities already are. It'd definitely be interesting for Nashville to have, like, 50 or 60k more Kurds move in.
