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 …show more content…
She hopped for a handful of donations and some volunteers to help resettle the refugees in New England… Volunteers walked into the office and said, ´I can't stand watching the news anymore. How can I help? Hamilton said the unexpected groundswell of support actually had its start a year ago with a fundraiser the institute called Resettle Together¨. This means that there are opportunities to connect with other cultures and adapt without difficulty. Document #5 also says: ¨They want to prevent our openness to welcoming people. They spread hate between cultures and also among religions. Our understanding of freedom and security is being tested… We can do it¨. When the country wants to prevent these refugees come, cause controversy because they do not apply the act of humanity, they are opposing citizens to help …show more content…
Contributing to the other countries that are going through crisis, it helps to better position themselves in the United States, because in the past it was very cruel to deny entry of a boat with refugees, which marked the history of the United States. Document #10, “And during the days when this horrible tragedy was being enacted right oa our doors, our government in Washington made no effort to relieve the desperate situation of these people.” This evidence shows like the United States denies these refugees enter the country without any compassion. Outcasts United book shows even in the bible affirm that we should be united, no matter where you come from. “Jesus said heaven is a place for all people of all nations. So if you don't like Clarkston, you won't like

    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.…

    During World War II, the immigration policy that was obviously Anti-Semitic could be considered a wartime precaution, however it was not. Countless refugees stayed in dangerous areas of Europe, or, once arriving to America, were sent back to Europe, where there was no place or hope for them. The strict immigration policy instituted at the time was xenophobic, as the American people were fearful of a Nazi spy being among admitted refugees. Considering this, and history’s way of repeating, it is happening once more today. The United States population fears the fact that there could be a potential terrorist among a group of Middle Eastern refugees, so instead of risking their chances and saving a majority of innocent people, the citizens of America turn their backs on all refugees.…

    Very often, people do not know what a refugee is, and what they have to go through, and once they do get informed about whom they are and their characteristics, they compare them to immigrants. What they don’t know is that these two peoples are very common but only come to a new country because of different reasons.…

    The book “Inside Out and Back Again” , a book of poetry written by Thanhha Lai, brings light to the struggles and obstacles that refugees face, which some overcome through what they love. A refugee might have a hard time leaving their homes, which might have been all they knew. Even after they have abandoned their heritage for a new hope, they risk everything to arrive in order to arrive at their new home. It seems although the hardships never end for these individuals, some facing discrimination because they are different, and new. Even though their lives may turn inside out, some, perusing what they love, can have comfort. These struggles can be present for people from all over the world,…

    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…

    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).…

    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.…

    Refugees In Canada

    From 2005 to 2014, about 26,000 refugees who arrived in Canada annually were forced to leave their countries due to fear and persecution.1,2 The United Nations defines a refugee as "someone who is unable or unwilling to return to their country of origin owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion”.3 Refugees in Canada are divided into two groups: those that have obtained the refugee status within Canada (both privately-sponsored [PSR] and government-assisted [GAR]) and refugee claimants who are awaiting government decision. Refugee claimants can come from Designated Countries of Origin (DCOs) (countries deemed safe by the federal government) or from non-DCO countries. DCO claims are processed faster to ensure that protection is given to those in need and those with unfounded claims are sent back quickly.4 Refugees differ from immigrants as they were forced to flee their home countries while immigrants willingly chose…

    Consequently, the topic of refugees of war often brings with it the question of national security. After September 11, 2001, terrorism became more prevalent in the minds of every American. For many Americans, the answer to this threat is to close borders to immigration completely. However, if all the borders closed completely, the U.S. economy would suffer greatly from the drastic loss of foreign visitors and foreign students (Griswold). Griswold sums up the issues with this belief by saying, “The problem is not that we are letting too many people into the United States but that the government has failed to keep the wrong people out.” Blocking all immigration doesn’t solve the threat of terrorism as many terrorist attacks are not carried out…
