   As civil war and Islamic State-related violence rend Syria, thousands
   are fleeing the country and looking to resettle.
   While some countries, such as Canada, are welcoming Syrian refugees
   with open arms, others, such as the United States, have been more
   xenophobic.
   Renowned graffiti artist Banksy recently did an installation in a
   Calais refugee camp depicting Steve Jobs as a Syrian refugee.

   "We're often led to believe migration is a drain on the country's
   resources but Steve Jobs was the son of a Syrian migrant," Banksy said
   in a rare public statement obtained by BBC.
   Indeed, Jobs's biological father is Abdulfattah "John" Jandali, a
   Syrian-born man who emigrated to the United States.

   "Apple is the world's most profitable company," Banksy added. "It pays
   over $7bn (£4.6bn) a year in taxes - and it only exists because [the
   United States] allowed in a young man from Homs."
