Trump’s childhood home becomes showcase for refugees
President Donald Trump's youth home in New York had some new tenants throughout the end of the week evacuees who shared their stories as an approach to attract regard for the outcast emergency as the United Nations General Assembly gathers this week with Mr. Trump in participation.

Down the lobby, Ghassan al-Chahada (41), a Syrian displaced person who touched base in the United States with his better half and three kids in 2012, sat in a live with lofts and a sign on the divider that said it likely was Mr. Trump's youth room.
"Prior to the contention started in Syria we had dreams of coming to America," Mr. Al-Chahada said. "For us, it was a blessing from heaven."
Al-Chahada said his life changed when Mr. Trump marked the restriction that banned individuals from Syria and five different nations, from entering the United States.
"I had trusts I would get my green card and have the capacity to visit my nation," Mr. Al-Chahada said. "Be that as it may, since Mr. Trump was chosen I don't might I venture to, don't set out leave this nation and not have the capacity to return."
"I would encourage him to recall, to consider how he felt when he dozed in this room," al-Chahada said. "In the event that he can remain tuned in to his identity as a tyke, the empathy youngsters show and the benevolence, I would state he's an extraordinary individual."
