Asylum In America

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).

A refugee is a person who was forced to leave their country. Whether it be from warfare or natural disaster, their homes are no longer safe to live in, so they need to relocate elsewhere. Once someone sets foot on the journey of becoming a refugee, they become vulnerable and dependent with no sense of what the future will bring. In an attempt to accommodate them, first world countries with the resources necessary to assist these refugees, are struggling to determine whether or not they should step-in and help. Some argue that taking them in could come with excessive consequences, while others believe they could be assets. Although there may be a few consequences, they are outweighed by the benefits and undeniable severity of the situation.

Intro: Refugees face a far worse life than most people can imagine, and there is no easy way out for them. They first must get out of whatever dangerous place they are in, then travel long distances with almost no resources, and even if they do make it safely to the USA there is a chance they will be sent back or even put in jail. The refugee experience is defined by risks and belonging.

There is a critical need to support Refugee Services of Texas and the services it provides to the local refugee community. Without these services many of this community would not be able to navigate the state’s social services as effectively nor would they be able to support themselves financially upon their arrival in the country. The absences of such services lead to a greater risk of these individuals falling victim to poverty, unemployment, homelessness and social isolation.

In the battle of refugee resettlement, America is its own worst enemy. By abandoning and victimizing harmless refugees, America robs them of their chance at the American Dream. After spending two years interviewing refugees, Anna Husarska was able to support her argument that America is outrageously unfair to foreign refugees (90). In Husarska’s journal, “Exile Off Main Street: Refugees and America’s Ingratitude,” Husarska emphasizes how widespread and commonplace America’s refugee abandonment is, as well as how seldom America attempts to reconcile for it, and how poor it is at doing so.

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.

Some of the things in chapter 1, were almost a shock to me. For example the introduction of moral treatment, which allowed patients to be talked to about their problems and taken on long walks. This form of treatment was a peaceful way to get people to open up about what was causing them stress, anxiety, or depression. The fact that this was being considered and being widely spread was an outstanding achievement from what they had come from which was people being considered witches and demons for an abnormal behavior. This would then lead to public embarrassment, harassment, and torture. That torture led to the rise of asylums which then brought forth a more peaceful way of psychiatry. The asylum treatment took a great turn as more and more

The illegal and legal system under which refugees are put under is something that is usually considered fact when in which it is something that has never been listed as one, the closest name under which the terms illegal and legal immigrants can be put under is “unlawful citizens”. This term is only classified under Australian Law but due to the reasons that they are seeking asylum, it is their international given right to seek this protection under the listing of an asylum seeker, therefore they cannot be penalized for pursing protection under the legal law of the Australian government.

Peter T. King once stated, “America has a long and proud history of providing safe harbor for refugees. We must continue to do so, but in a way that keeps America safe.” Therefore Americans have an obligation to stay close to their roots and accept refugees and immigrants into the country while making sure we are still protected. As a country the United States has to take in more refugees because they have the necessary money, the land, and a moral obligation to help.

In recent polls, fifty three percent of Americans are claiming that the United States should not accept any more Syrian refugees. After the recent attacks on Pairs, many Americans have begun to grow more fearful and doubtful of allowing Syrians into the borders of their country. One of the large reasons behind the denial of the refugees is because of their religion. While some say that Islam

Over the years, America has taken in many refugees; however we are currently in state of political unrest and the political future of America’s refuge program looks unclear.

Syrian refugees is one of the biggest topics of the world today. Many people want to let them in and many want to keep them out. Over the past years, the US has allowed many refugees in from war stricken countries. Researchers say the shooters in the San Bernadino were talking to ISIS and also the bombers in Paris.This has caused everyone to be more cautious and fearful about letting in Syrian refugees. However, those that have committed acts of terrorism are sometimes not even refugees but citizens. Despite all of this, the government should still allow the Syrian refugees in the country.

A key component of asylum conditions were for the patients to be in full segregation between the genders. It was not until the mid twentieth century that the genders were permitted to socialise, yet they still rested in same sex wards. Patients lived inside the restrictions the hospital and maintained a very low level of privacy. Wards could contain up to 50 patients, leaving individual will minimal personal space. The day-by-day administration was entirely controlled, with little leeway for change and regularly under the attentive gaze of staff. Amid the early years of the Asylums, wards were bolted and security was kept high as staffs were fined for each patient that got away on during their watch. As time moved on this became more casual, and when the

During a refugee’s transition from his or her native country to America, there are protective and risk factors that affect them physically, mentally and emotionally. One risk factor discussed by Mr. Beshir the high expectations that one may have upon entering America (G. Beshir, personal communication, April 21, 2017). It seems that movies, television shows, and social media all depict the United States as a paradise without any social issues. However, it is evident that the States has its own issues in areas of homelessness, poverty, unemployment, crime, and hunger. The houses that are offered to refugee individuals and families are not the equivalent to the houses portrayed in movies and television

Refugee problems are a worldwide phenomenon which has become precarious and heightens the subject for every country. Refugees mean those people who fleeing conflict or persecution. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has recurrently stated that refugees are defined and protected in international law and must not be expelled or returned to situations where their life and freedom are at risk. According to UNHCR, (2016, January report) there are more than 21.3 million refugees throughout the world. However, currently, this number has been increased because of the Syrian violent conflict which escalated since 2011. ‘It has been stated that 75% of the total refugees are women and children and at least 7 million children are out of the school because of the war (UNHCR, 2016)’ (see also UNHCR, Global Trends).
