Did your city ‘welcome’ Syrians in the first 6 months of 2015?
After studying the US State Department data base, here are the numbers of Syrians who were resettled in cities across the country.
There are some additional cities that received a smaller number of Syrians in years 2012, 2013, and 2014.
However, I think you can assume that, although the numbers are still small, these cities (which are getting them in 2015) are a good first indicator of where they would distribute 10,000-65,000 (if the Senate Jihad Caucus, the Obama Administration and the UN succeed).
These numbers are from 1/1/2015 to 6/15/2015 and were found at the Refugee Processing Center where the US State Department keeps data on incoming refugees.
Of the total number of almost 1,000 Syrians resettled in the US so far since the refugee flow out of Syria began in 2012, 93% are Muslims and most of those are Sunni Muslims.
