Why Do We Need To Be A Refugee
Refugees
A refugee is a person who leaves his or her country due to a well-founded fear of persecution because of his or her race, religion, nationality, political views, or membership in a particular social group. Once a host country accepts an asylum seeker to become a refugee, the host county has a moral obligation to ease the transition from a refugee to a fully participating citizen. This may include subsidized housing, job training, and other financial and social services. This is good for the incoming refugee and good for the economy of the host country. Refugees deserve to be supported financially.
Providing financial support will provide and practical immediate relief such of daily needs such as groceries, housing and clothing. Tomaki Ueda wrote, “Immigrants can work and the tax burden on the state would be low” [Fifield 4]. Asylum seekers need to wait several weeks before they receive their papers; they have no support until the results are finalized. This leaves the asylum seekers without any access to any financial funding.
Families utilize all they have to send their children long distances, unprotected and vulnerable, in hopes of finding financial stability and safety.

Once the children cross international boarders, they become asylum seekers. An asylum seeker is a person who has moved across international borders in search of protection and has filed a claim for asylum with the host country’s government. If the claim is accepted, the person becomes a refugee. “…it takes several weeks or months before they know whether they will be allowed to stay in Germany” [King 3]. An asylum is shelter or protection from danger granted by a country to someone forced to leave his or her home
