Syrian Refugees
Immigration into the US has been a tight and controversial subject. Some say that it increases crimes and terrorisms and others say that it can only bring good. One many believe that immigration must continue as lives are in danger but must be taught after coming into the country. If immigration is completely halted then the US is being hypocritical as everyone arrived in the US as an immigrant.
One reason continuing to let refugees in is to protect them from the harsh and violent war that is pursuing in Syria. A similar situation occurred near World War 2 were the US denied accesses to thousands of Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi influence in Europe (Marnin,Why America’s decision to let in Syrian refugees is the right one). That example was a very hard hit on the US as they essentially let them die. This current situation is very similar as if we don’t allow these innocent people to coming into the country we are send them back to their doom.
Another reason not to limit Syrian refugees from coming into the US is that they have nowhere else to go. As Syria is in a large conflict and violent bombings and destruction occurs often this has lead to many Syrians homeless (America has accepted 10,000 Syrian refugees. That’s still too few, Editorial Board). Although many small European countries have started accepting the refugees there

Enabling the refugees to come into the country can really help them and the US as they can supply economy and have a safe haven to be free from war. Although the US has admitted 10,000 Syrian refugees into the country that is too little as over 13 million are in danger (Why America’s decision to let in Syrian refugees is the right one, Marnin). Syrian refugees will be able to have many opportunities granted to them such as homes, safety, and education. If we do limit their ability to come into the country then the US is repeating what happened around

    The U.S. is having a hard time deciding what to do about immigrants. No one knows what to do. No decision has been made on whether they are going to let them in and help the innocent people, or are they going to leave them out because of the ones who aren't actually Syrian Refugees. So, do we risk the chance or leave them all out and be better safe than sorry? There hasn't been a final decision yet.…

    Despite the horrific incidents of the past, religious persecution against refugees continues. Many refugees are left without aid, and the crisis continues to grow with no solid solution to the problem. Lack of government action has killed in the past, and improper government action will kill today. Executive Order 13769, or, Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States, was a recent travel ban signed in effect by 45th President Donald Trump. This executive order suspended the United States Refugee Admissions Program for approximately 4 months as well as permanently banned Syrian refugees, as well as suspended immigration law for 90 days for predominantly Muslim countries.…

    “‘This shows who the ban really impacts: the world’s most vulnerable women and children who are fleeing terror,’ said Jennifer Sime, a senior vice president at the International Rescue Committee, a humanitarian organization focused on refugees. ‘America is turning away from its leadership role on refugee settlement, and its the refugees who are paying the price’” (Goldman). The United Nations did an assessment of children in all different countries to find out the ones in the greatest need of emergency international assistance, and they discovered that the top five nations of children in need were in Trump’s list of seven banned countries: Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen (Goldman). The same people in the United States that are preaching from their soap boxes about the importance of child health and welfare are turning their backs on entire nations of children need in critical conditions. Over 5.1 million children are displaced in Iraq, Somalia is described as a state of chronic humanitarian crisis, and Unicef, an organization working internationally advocating for children, says that Syria’s humanitarian crisis is equal to that of World War II (Goldman). America used to be a nation to set a standard of humanitarianism, and after decades of helping countries out when people were in a time of need, the nation has sent people away that are…

    My first reason is many innocent people are losing their lives in Syria due to the outrageous war that has been happening since 2011. An example is in the article it says over 100 thousands of Syrian citizens have been killed since 2011. Another reason is while families try to escape the growling civil war they are loosing their lives in transit. Another example is a 3 year old kid drowned trying to flee with his Syrian family. My final reason is Syrians are starting to suffer and die from cold and sickness. My final example is a lot of Syrian refugees are severely suffering from flu, pneumonia, diseases, and Syrians say it won’t be long before a young Syrian child freezes to death. Even after the events of the holocaust we still hide and don't help with the Syrian refugees who are desperately dying off and seek our…

    Many of them have believed that United States has a responsibility to come and reach out everyone's hand when they are in need for help. There is a chance that everyone who was aided by US, will never harm back in return, and simply give back US with gratefulness and happiness, instead. The reasoning is backed up as Berman said, "As US officials and refugees point out that [refugees' terrorism] has never happened in modern history. Not when US took tens of thousands of Vietnamese refugees in 1970s. Not even 125,000 Cuban "Marielitos" arrived by boat in 1980. And not in the desperate aftermath of more recent was in Bosnia, Somalia, or Rwanda," (Berman 16-19), in "Can Terrorists Infiltrate the Syrian Refugee Program?" In other words, Syrians are no different from other previous refugees, escaping from their worlds of torture and cruelty, and prayed for the safety and peace, just like Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees with their genocide situation in their homes from the past. The refugees does not want to cause any harm, simply because they understand what is like to be the victims from the harm that is caused by others. Americans should bring in the Syrian refugees in with open arms, with comfort and sense of security for them by accepting them for their differences such as the practice of religion, color, and so on. The Syrians will be forever thankful for the selfless actions Americans have done for them in the land where majority of Muslims are grateful for religious…

    The Syrian Refugee Crisis is certainly a hot-button issue today. It has been the subject of major political debate in the last federal election, with many criticising the Conservative Government for its slow speed, lack of commitment, and alleged cherry-picking attitude towards refugee resettlement. The Liberal Party, meanwhile, capitalized on the emotional atmosphere following the release of the photograph of the Syrian child, Alan Kurdi, dead on a Turkish beach; they pledged to bring in 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by the end of 2015 if elected (Levitz 2016). Comments have been made by figures from both sides of the political spectrum, some deeply emotion while others racists or prejudiced. The public has raised numerous fears, both rational and irrational, of terrorism, burdens on the welfare system, and a rise in cultural and racial tensions. Even the American Senate got involved, with senators claiming that terrorists would enter Canada as refugees then infiltrate the United States, a claim that has later been debunked (Panetta 2016).…

    I believe the U.S. should accept more refugees to connect races, stop their fear of persecution, religion, political opinions. Most americans agree with U.S. help for refugees and also we can decrease disgraceful thing in America history. Refugees do not come on a whim, they come because they have situations that force them to come. In recent years, a lot of refuges have to leave Syria because of civil wars, persecutions and much violence. In this arduous situation, the other countries had to make a decision to accept or not in the country. US candidates do not agree with the argument of refugees. Donald Trump does not want the refugees to migrate to the country because they cause violence, while Hillary Clinton is willing to give them a place…

    Samira Shackle suggests that the Syrian refugee crisis is not only happening in Turkey but also around the European Union. Many of these countries are closing down their border in order to avoid the immigration of refugees. It has been estimated that roughly around 2.6 million people have fled war torn Syria and even though most of them make it to Jordan and Turkey, a…

    With a lack of knowledge about who these refugees truly are and who their loyalties are with, it is a huge liability to allow them to enter the country. Also, it seems there is no type of assimilation program in place to ensure these refugees are able to fit into American society. Not to mention the health concerns that these refugees pose on the safety of Americans as these individuals carry a large risk of health concerns as rates of Tuberculosis are very common among…

    As most of us know, recently there was an attack at Paris by a popular group of terrorist known as Isis, although this is not their first attack, whether or not refugees are to be accepted into the U.S. has brought more attention. ISIS stands for Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and they are a group of religious extremist and their main goal is to create a group of Muslims who will all follow their extremist beliefs. The problem with that is that now many Muslims are being shamed because of this group, even if all theses other poor people may have nothing to do with ISIS, they are being dragged into their problems, Now many other states are refusing to let thousands of innocent refugees into their land for the sake…

    There are over 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States the majority of those are from Mexico, Central and South America who are seeking asylum in this country for reasons like escaping poverty, gangs, cartels or corruption. What we belive is that we have to have an easy way for immigrants to be granted citizenship so that we do not keep seperating families like what is going on under the Obama administration which has led to the deportaion of around 2 million immigrants. We do however support President Obama’s executive order about DACA and also start the program DAPA that will help grant a work permit as well as legal staus to parents of DREAMERs and U.S. Citizens. We need to take in more Syrian refugees to help them escape…

    The refugee crisis is a big issue for the United States nowadays and not just for the danger that might come to the US, but also because the amount of money the states would spend in those refugees.

    Aaron David Miller, who is currently a Global Affairs Analyst for CNN, explained in “Why travel ban could backfire”, “Looking at the data since 9/11 leads one to the inescapable conclusion that the real threat to the US homeland comes not as a result of those recently admitted into the US as refugees, or with immigrant or nonimmigrant visas, but from home grown jihadis who have been radicalized here, and are either US citizens or legal permanent residents (paragraph 8). While it may seem that President Trump is trying to look out for the American people, it does not seem that we need to worry about those escaping war zones. The ones we need to be cautious with are those radicalized by the Islamic State, these individuals can be born in America or naturalized citizens. We do not have a test that can determine the true patronage of those that live in this country. The travel ban is targeting Muslims which could isolate and stigmatize American Muslims, which in turn could cause resentment towards the government. Banning an individual from freedom and safety based on the country of origin, is not what America is about and should not be…
