Research Paper On Syrian Refugees
The topic of accepting Syrian refugees is a real issue, with numerous people worried about it. There are numerous stances about it. One stance is that Immigration for Syrian refugees should be allowed. The opposing stance is that Immigration for Syrian refugees should not be allowed. Personally, I believe that Syrian Refugees should be allowed to come to the United States. The scope of the issue is narrow enough to manage. It is not too complicated to solve.
One reason why America should accept Syrian Refugees is that America should demonstrate moral courage. “The definition of moral courage is to resist allowing fear to overwhelm our humanity.” (Dave Beer) Moral courage is the courage to take action for moral reasons despite the risk of bad

    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.…

    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.…

    If I could change one thing about Australia, I would change the poor treatment of the Asylum Seekers from war-infested countries. In fact, Australia is the only country in the world to mandate the detention of Asylum Seekers. This Anti-Asylum policy has been at the spotlight of international criticism by various humanitarian organisations, calling the actions of the Australian Government "an act of discrimination and racism".…

    For example, “70 000 pregnant women (are) at risk of unsafe deliveries because life-saving health services are becoming too expensive for many” (Gornall, 2015, p. 1) If Canada took in Syrian refugees the risk of these women would go down immensely; Canada would be giving oppurtunity for more safe prenatal, birth, and postnatal health and wellbeing. Due to of the lack of medical help and knowledge “more than 142 000 Syrian children have been born refugees since the start of the crisis in 2011, but it is not known how many others have died because of lack of medical help or whether maternal or infant mortality among refugees is going up” (Gornall, 2015, p. 1). Other issues to look at are long term health concerns, most funding has been put into emergency cases, there is no money being given for long term care for different diseases like diabetes, and cancer (Gornall, 2015, p. 2). Canada has lots of medical tools, and equipment that could help those with long term health…

    The early 1980s were times of tension and turmoil the government and citizens of Central America. Over one million Central Americans fled to the United States seeking political asylum due to the violence from Civil Wars in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua. The militaries killed thousands of people, including Archbishop Oscar Romero and four Catholic Sisters. Along with violence, these nations also became stricken with poverty and economic depression, spurring large-scale migration to the United States.…

    I agree with President Obama’s policy on bringing in Syrian refugees because I think it is safe towards Americans. Only 3 out of 784,000 refugees taken into america since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, have been arrested for planning terrorist attacks.…

    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).…

    A series of pro-democracy protests that took place in 2011 in Syria has escalated into a full-blown civil war. Because of this, one of the bigger issues that has risen over the past few years is the amount of people that have fled Syria due to the war. Roughly, over four million Syrian refugees had to flee; most of them are women and children. This has not only developed into a problem for the refugees themselves but to many neighboring countries as well. Some of these include Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan and Greece. The U.N has taken note over the situation since many countries are struggling to accommodate the thousands of refugees that come in on a regular basis.…

    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…

    An example both positive and negative (all dependent on how one looks at is) is the Europeans that came to America when they were facing a form of oppression as well… that also killed a lot of Native Americans, BUT! America is the way it is today because of this turning point in the past. For those who made the journey over will more than likely express the joy and also the ease of mind one has due to the opportunity to leave and start all over. However, many seem to forget this when it comes to the Syrian refugees because of stereotyping from just a few bad…
