Refugee (interested in adding more in the sections under "Issues - Security Threats").
The overall article is rather comprehensive, neutral and reliable. However, the security threat section lacks depth, references and just overall content. Considering the current state of international affaire, I believe that it is crucial to develop more on the connection of terrorist organizations and refugee population. ISIS propaganda and sources have repeatedly referenced using refugees as ways to infiltrate western countries. Furthermore, every country's immigration policies and regulations has had to shift due to this threat. There's a lot of literature that contextualizes the Syrian refugee crisis and specific countries' responses - pros and cons. At a time when the concept of refugee is almost synonymous with "threat" I believe that this section is crucial.
