American Refugee Crisis

In the final draft I will expand on each of the issues, by looking into more specific examples of both what different European countries are doing policy wise, as well as what the sentiment is among the refugees in the different areas of Europe. To fully be able to understand the conditions the refugees are facing I will be using other scholars ethnography work; One of those works being Katerina Rozakou’s piece regarding the management of refugees in Greece. As a result of that knowledge I will be able to come to an accurate conclusion as to what course of action should be taken in Europe as a whole, to deal with this ongoing

A thought regarding the recent attacks in Paris, France: 129 people were killed by Middle Eastern extremists, and 433 others were rushed to the hospital, critically injured. The refugees residing in France come from countries in states of civil war, turmoil and great danger. Similar situations occur in the United States, the issue of refugees is extremely controversial. American citizens can all agree that growing up in the United States has taught us to stand united and have pride in our nation, but are we truly united? It appears not concerning fugitives in our country. To achieve progress in our country today, modern politicians need to overcome the Congressional Gridlock and arrive at a decision.

The decision on whether to deny or accept the entry of refugees into America has been a controversial issue in today’s current events. Many American citizens have resolved to heated conflicts when expressing their differing opinions on whether the refugee policy should be revised or not. Refugees should be welcomed into America with open arms, but there must be a limit on the number of these refugees seeking asylum that can enter the country in order to save the economy.

The refugee crisis is a hotly debated and controversial topic all over the globe relevant to today. The rising number of refugees arriving in the European Union has significantly increased throughout the past few years. The controversy comes from not the refugees themselves, but from where they are emigrating from. Coming from extremely hostile and dangerous countries operated by the Islamic State militants, there is a sense of hysteria from the opposing side saying that there are risks that need to be factored in when accepting such a large amount of people from places where there are high concentrations of terrorism into their home countries. On the other side of the argument, the advocates for refugees are proclaiming that as humans we have moral obligations to give the quintessential helping hand to humans whenever one is in need, regardless of their situation or circumstances. Through social activism these proponents are seeking to

While refugees are a major quandary in the United States, other first world countries are also seriously affected by their arrival. One of the most unrecognized aspects of the refugee crisis would be the diseases associated with their presence. This continues to remain a major problem when accepting refugees since many people do not acknowledge it as one. According to Dr. Elizabeth D. Barnett from the Maxwell Finland Laboratory for Infectious Diseases, “Contagious diseases are thriving as the world's population becomes more mobile,” (Barnett). Since refugees are frequently coming to the U.S. and other first world countries, the diseases they carry are “thriving” and being transferred from refugees to the host country's citizens. Dr. Barnett

The paper goes on to say that the European crisis is because of the large numbers of refugees that are overwhelming the local European populations; and that ‘Countries that can’t control their borders always face a backlash’.

The war in Syria has displaced millions of people. The refugees that can have fled to Europe, America, and most of all their neighboring countries. The United States is trying to do its part, but the refugee policy isn't helping it do enough. The U.S. refugee policy needs to be changed. The country needs to help refugees within our borders, as well as help countries taking in the majority of refugees. The U.S. can also improve the current refugee vetting process, which would greatly increase it's efficiency.

President Barack Obama once said that “The values that we are fighting against ISIS for are precisely that we don’t discriminate against people based on their faith”. This statement does not seem very true with the way that America is responding to the refugee crisis that it is in right now. Lately it seems as if America is turning people away due to their religion and where they are from. The people that are being turned away are refugees specifically from the Middle East. These are people that are running away from terrorism and war so that they can get themselves and their families to safety. One of the biggest places that these refugees are looking to is the United States. But due to fear among people, the U.S. is beginning to put restrictions

America has gotten itself in so many world wide events like, war in the middle east , nuvlear threats from russia and north korea , and terrorist attacks . Ever since the 1970s we have been taking in refugees from many countries such as africa and syria . Africa has been having problems in their own country for many years for eaxample , their dictaor is not giving them the proper care that they need such as, water , healthy living situations , and homes . Syria has been sending refugees for already a coupple of years now , mainly because of the civil war taking place in the country against assad and many rebels also including isis and other terrorist groups.

While this sentiment has changed in western European countries such as Germany, there are still many countries such as Hungary are still insensitive towards their plight and unaware of the parallels one could draw between the refugees and those who fled Nazi Germany and East Germany. Even when countries are willing to accept refugees, many say that they desire non- Muslim refugees, allowing their fear to sway their policy. Even when countries accept migrants, the systems currently in place allow the refugees to be exploited as unpaid laborers. The currents processes and attitudes towards refugees need to change. This article, using these parallels shows how necessary it is that refugees get help and sanctuary, and how even if a country accepts refugees, the country needs protection for these people as well. Despite the opposing arguments, it is clear that countries such as the United States of America have a moral duty to save the refugees lives as they flee from persecution and

There is a plethora of humanitarian and moral reasons for the United States of America to allow more Syrian refugees to seek resettlement here. The United States has resettled millions of refugees from all over the world, but all too often its humanitarian instinct has been hindered by paranoia and fear. This refugee crisis has been the worst since the Second World War as well as producing some of the same rhetoric about refugees as the postwar period. In my opinion, the United States, the most powerful country in the world, should accept this state of affairs and be a role model to the rest of the world. The pros of accepting refugees will greater weigh out the cons in the end.

There was a time in the 1990s when immigrants flooded to Europe, and European countries relied on these people to help boost their workforce and promote economic growth. As low economic growth rates persisted and recessions occurred and recurred, anti-immigrant notions began to emerge because natural citizens could not find jobs. Today, migrants are flooding to Europe, not so much to find better jobs, but to escape wars and persecution within their home countries. Europe as of late has seen a massive influx of refugees from countries such as Syria, Afghanistan, and the Middle East. With the growing number of terror cells and civil unrest in Syria, Syrians, which account for almost 40% of all migrants to Europe in 2015, are seeking refuge in European countries in overwhelming numbers. This influx of people has resulted

Since 2011, Syria has been engaged in a Civil War with protestors against the government and members of the extremist group ISIS, and approximately 7.6 million people have been displaced from their homes (usnews.com 2015). As the conflict destroys more homes and livelihoods each year, an increasing number of civilians have been forced to leave Syria and try to find safety elsewhere. Already a contentious issue, the Syrian refugee crisis has awakened tensions, both economic and social as debate erupts over what to do with the refugees.In response to the crisis, while some countries like Germany have pledged to help the refugees, (New Statesman 2015 1) only 2,340 have been admitted. Clearly, more needs to be done in order to help the refugees. Although there are economic and population concerns to be considered, the humanitarian conflict that faces the refugees and solutions already available are reason enough for Europe to increase the numbers of Syrian refugees allowed in.

The influx of Syrian refugees to Europe in the past year has sparked what is being called the ‘European Migrant Crisis’ and has drawn attention and the concern of the international community. In spite of the majority of Syrian refugees remaining in the region (in either Turkey, Lebanon or Jordan) the arrival of over 700,000 refugees in Europe has tested the limitations of political infrastructure in the face of development and human rights issues. In this paper I will argue that the historical, geographic, political, cultural, social and economic differences between the Middle East and Europe are main causes for the failures of the international community to uphold the 1951 U.N. Charter on Refugees. I believe that the fundamental ideological division between Syria and the West causes the insecurity accompanying the admittance of large numbers of Syrians (or other people of Middle Eastern origin) into Europe. This, coupled with the purely logistical challenges of moving people through the continent, dispersing refugees and distributing resources appropriately, is one of the main factors hindering the smooth integration of Syrian refugees. The ability of the international community to adequately address the needs of refugees (and particularly those whose lives have been torn apart by the Syrian civil war) should be an international priority, particularly due to the

In our society, we are dealing with conflicts that affect us greatly. Most of these conflicts are involved with wars, politics, and financial issues. We usually learn from these problems and make sure they don’t get happen again. Maintaining the peace is an important element for us to become a better person. Even though, we might have encountered many issues, Europe is the one country that is still having a major crisis. Many of the refugees are attempting to gain freedom from their suffering of war. The only problem is that many of them are struggling to reach the European borders. The reason is because transportations are limited, and it is hard to attain. The Europe, migrant crisis has been occurring for a while, as it has an impact on
