The Pros And Cons Of Syrian Refugees
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.
Two different authors wrote about Syrian Refugees and what happened with the U.S. In the article, "Fresno Family Represents the Plight of Syrian Refugees" it represents all of the refugees trying to come to the U.S. They came to the U.S to get away from the war. It didn’t feel like home where they were and they were all in danger. If they would've

    The world has not learned from the events of the Holocaust because places are hesitant to help them, people are dyeing, and there running out of resources. From 1933 to 1945 during World War 2, about 5 million of the Jews in Europe lost their lives to Hitler’s ruling. The world waited to take action to help the jews because we did not know about the concentration camps. Now, in 2015, the world is still waiting to take action and repeating the same mistakes 70 years later in Syria.…

On Oct. 29, 2007, her brother, Carlos Luis Pérez, a skinny 22-year-old, was kidnapped and then found dead two days later in a sewage ditch, his hands and feet cut off.” ( Sonia Nazario. “The Refugees at Our Door.” nytimes.com.

    The refugees are more likely to have the common support in our community because of the misconceptions about homeless people being associated with drugs and other personal consequences. Refugees were once a group of human beings who were free and had rights like everybody else until they were stripped away from them, which leads us to sympathize with refugees more than with homeless people who probably ended up in such a situation because of drug abuse, disregarding their education and etc;. Also, there are organizations and charities (that includes soup kitchens and shelters) which have been built to help the homeless in Canada, but refugees do not have that opportunity unless the government do something about them and help them start anew…

    People from all over the world travel far distances to America to breathe freedom. Numerous people believe that immigrants are destroying society, when in reality, they are the ones that bring over work, connections, and talent. The masses that settle in America create new jobs or work the jobs American natives tend to ignore. Immigration has rapidly become a bigger topic of discussion over the years. Immigrants constantly deal with harassment from natives. Harassment ranging from being racist to telling them to go back to their native country. Instead of seeing immigration as a bad thing, natives need to witness that positive outcomes of having immigrants. Instead of trying to push these people out of America, natives need to accept that all…

    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…

    Syrian Refugees Crisis

    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).…

    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 unsanitary and cramped camps that they are currently staying in in neighboring countries, when compared to the violence the Syrians faced back in their country, are the lesser of two evils. Yes, millions of refugees need better conditions to live in until their country is safe, but, now, America is not the right place for those refugees to be. ISIS, which has most its members in Syria, causes a security concern far too great for the U.S. to ignore, the economy is not strong enough to support a mass influx of refugees, high social tensions would create problems, and the lack of monetary resources could leave America unable to provide for the refugee’s…
