Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) on Friday came out in support for a limited no-fly zone in Syria near the Jordanian border to protect opposition forces who train there.

“Once you’re there on the ground, you see what is happening in Jordan — one of our best allies in the Mideast — where you have literally thousands of Syrian refugees flowing through that border every single day,” Klobuchar told Politico in an interview.

Klobuchar added that 500,000 refugees are currently located on the border, “and only a third of them are in the camps, and then you’re projected to see up to maybe a million refugees by the end of the year.”
