A Country That Was Known For Protecting The Poak In The United States

Refugees are people who are forced to leave their home due to war, or natural disasters and try to start over by fleeing to a new country.Refugees are going through a lot, fleeing their homes, and having their lives turned inside out. For lots of families who are fleeing their country due to war or a natural disaster, it’s hard for them to adapt to their new lifestyle, learning a new language, new education, and bullies. Fleeing to America gives the refugees a fresh start in life, helps them to start over and more opportunities than they had in the country they fled from. “Children of War” “My graduation is next year, so I have to think about college...America is giving us a better future than we could have in Bosnia”(Brice-26).

In our world, there’s a lot of wars happening. Refugees are coming to our country to start a new life. We are struggling right trying to help our citizens that it's making it even harder to help the refugees. The U.S. should not accept refugees because economy will get worse and should not get involved.

Imagine that you are in an airport trying to flee your country because there is a war going on, all of a sudden you get stopped by a security officer saying that the country you are trying to go to does not allow refugees, What would you do? The debate about refugees has been around since World War Two when Hitler was trying to torture or kill all the jews and other people he did not like. Here in America we did not let refugees into the U.S. during the war and a bunch of them were killed, however some did survive. Some people think that we should let them into the United States of America well, others say they should not be allowed to enter the U.S. In the year of 2016 there was around thirty-eight thousand refugees that were allowed into the United States. There were a bunch of other refugees that applied to come to the united states but got denied, because the U.S. did not choose them or they did not pass the test to become a refugee. The idea that refugees should not be allowed into the united states because they could bring disease, they could be a criminal or a terrorist, and they use up our land and resources deserves some merit. However These arguments do not realise that if we bring them into the United States we could save their lives, or give them better living conditions. In this article I will argue that we should allow refugees into the United States, but only under certain circumstances. Those circumstances are they should be allowed into the united

The Travel Ban marks a major turning point in the policies on immigration in the United States. Due to increased terrorist attacks and illegal immigrant numbers rising, it is believed that temporarily banning immigrants from particular countries is key to ensuring safety within the United States. Though many have expressed their concern towards the ban because of its similarity to previous discriminatory and unconstitutional acts. The ban has even been referred to as the “Muslim Ban”.

Topic: Refugees face an incredibly rough and hard life. Not only are they attempting to leave a country that is incredibly dangerous and could get them killed at any time, but even if they survive the journey there is a strong possibility that they will not be allowed into the US.

The first reason why the U.S. should accept refugees is because they want to flee from the violence in their country. Document 2 shows a picture of a little boy who barely survived an air strike. His face is completely covered in blood and his body is completely covered in dust. This is a clear reason why they want to escape and flee from their country, they need safety and they don’t have that back at home. Innocent little boys and girls are getting bombed for really foolish reasons. The sad part is that they can’t do anything about it, the only thing they can do is flee. And if they try to fight back they’re most

Destruction, violence, and chaos engulfs the lives of those in the Middle East, specifically in Syria. Since 2011 the country has been in disarray and consumed in a vicious civil war displacing millions of inhabitants of the region. Several countries have offered aid and asylum to these refugees, which raises the question: Should the United States (U.S.), a prominent world leader, allow Syrian refugees to seek asylum in their country? Several articles explore this question, including “Are Syrian Refugees Really a Security Risk? - Harvard Political Review”, “To Defeat ISIS, Know Thy Terrorist; Scorning Syrian refugees is doing ISIS a huge favor”, and “No vetting of Syrian "refugees" in Obama's "resettlement" invasion: the FBI says there is no way to vet incoming refugees and Senate and House chairmen blasted Obama for serious national security risks and economic costs of refugee policy”. The authors of the first and second article, Evan Bonsall and Kurt Eichenwald, argue that the refugees should be allowed asylum, while the author of the third article, William F. Jasper, argues against granting asylum. All of the authors employ complex rhetorical strategies including ethos, pathos, logos and other systems to explain their opinion and target their desired audiences.

The dilemma regarding the American refugee policy and America’s stance on refugees at this point in time is a challenging topic for many to discuss. Not only is this controversy affecting Americans, it is also hurting refugees in desperate need of our help. America needs to start handling the emerging refugee crisis by first working to remove the stereotype associated with refugees, then the U.S. needs to assess which refugee countries should (if any) actually be banned, and after accomplishing those-- America needs to work to help the countries in need by letting refugees in, and working to help the refugees live happily in their country of origin.

The United States has committed ghastly injustices. In the article, “Syrian Refugees: Will American Hearts and Minds Change?” by Rajini Srikanth put the issue of Syrian Refugees in the spotlight. Since, “the US is still actively engaged in the global war on terror,” (“Syrian Refugees: Will American Hearts and Minds Change”) terrorists might try and enter the US to attack important buildings. So, “Governors of 31 states have declared their unwillingness to accept any Syrian refugees.” When, the governors decided to not accept refugees, they committed an injustice against the refugees by going against the US which, then, had said that they would accept refugees. The governors suspected that in the middle of the refugees there were hidden terrorists. In fear they

One of the factors that define what the experience of these incoming asylum seekers will be like is how the citizens of the welcoming country treat them. Therefore it is important to consider how after 9/11, the opinions of citizens towards immigration has changed. Gail Stewart talks about, how civilians were told that the perpetrators of the attacks were immigrants from the Middle East, who obtained legal visas; therefore it created a sense of discrimination in the face of civilians and policy makers. Stewart talks about the differing ideas of people. Some suggested that the country should go as far as, “keeping the borders closed” (Stewart, 2004). Meanwhile others feel like the whole idea of the US is based on welcoming immigrants, and “The greatest victory for Osama bin Laden, of course, would be if America lost faith in its openness" (Stewart, 2004). The road the government decided to take is requiring a much more detailed background check, for anyone seeking to immigrate to

Immediately, the comment section on every refugee news article on Facebook played out in my mind. There is always that argument by those anti-refugees that they will exploit taxpayer’s money. The systematic inequality that refugees face is designed to put them in this tough predicament. Finally, in my opinion, prisons are meant to punish criminals, not punish those leaving a life of hardship and war.

In March of 2016, President Trump placed a temporary ban on six Muslim countries. With the influx of middle easterners fleeing the middle east due to their war-torn countries President Trump has changed the number of refugees the country receives. President’s Trump focus is to fully understand who is attempting to come into the United States and ensure they are who they say they are. By conduct extensive background checks will give a better a understand on who is not being truthful, weeding out the suspected illegals who would cause harm in America. “Attorney General Jeff Sessions also singled out the refugee program as an issue

Even though John Kelly’s video and Fox News are both biased towards the Travel Ban, New York Times is not. Also New York Times showed how many families will be affected and how it can cause fear to people when Margaret Huang, the executive director of Amnesty International USA, said “cause extreme fear and uncertainty for thousands of families by, once again, putting anti-Muslim hatred into policy.” but Fox News and John Kelly’s video did not explain what the reactions of people in America or in one of the six countries. Fox News said “Almost immediately, there was pushback from Democratic lawmakers and human rights groups.” also this explained how the Travel Ban makes it harder for people from one of the six countries to get help from people in America. In the John Kelly video, he also explains what the purpose is for the Travel Ban and what they are doing to see if the people from these countries are trustful or

Terrorists Terrorism/Crime are a big reason that refugees should not be let into the united states. One of the big reasons is that there are a lot of people trying to either get a visa or sneak into our country. “There have been over 400 cases of people sneaking across the border from Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Pakistan, and Syria”. Associated Press 2015)This shows that people who shouldn't be crossing the border are sneaking in with the refugees to cause terrorism to our country. There are very few reasons that people from those countries should ever be entering our country, and them trying to sneak in and illegally come into our country tells us they are probably planning

Imagine waking up each morning and wondering if today is your last day on earth. Imagine sending your children off to school each day and praying that they will return in one piece; that is, if the school is even open. Imagine not feeling safe in your own nation, own town, or even your own home. These feelings were experienced daily by the Syrian refugees as they lived day by day in warfare and unrest. As things get progressively worse for the refugees, staying home is no longer an option. But where can they go?
