Causes And Disadvantages Of Refugees

Refugees have been the spotlight in many countries in the past few years. In Canada, refugees where mainly sourced from Syria, Eritrea, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Congo (Puzic 5). The difference between refugees and immigrants is “refugees are people who have fled their countries because of a well-founded fear of persecution. They are not able to return home” (Government of Canada 1), but immigrants are people who chose to leave their country and settle in another for their own reasons. A lot of people do hate the fact that refugees have been the main focus recently, and how “they have been treated better” than our own people, but that does not beat the fact that there are many advantages that come from the refugees. Refugees bring the advantages of increasing the country’s population, boosting the country’s economy, and increasing the country’s diversity.

Refugees are people who crossed borders, fleeing due to problems related to race religion and nationality. While fleeing, refugees unknowingly carry many diseases due to lack of mental help and attention. When coming to a new country, refugees have no self-esteem to get jobs due to the language barrier. Refugees who flee their country and sacrifice everything are confident and strong willed with all the obstacles that come through their journey to start a new life. The long-term effects that a refugee experiences due to forced migration is Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. Forced migration has a negative mental and physical affect on refugees.

Due to the recent crises caused by the conflict in Syria, more than four million refugees have fled that region of the

Refugees are a vulnerable group who has given up everything in a pursuit of a better life. Cultures from across the world differ in extreme ways. However, with that said no one culture or ideas is the better than the other. Each culture brings different strengths and weaknesses and the best to utilize those strengths is to put them together with the strengths of the others. Cultural competency is something that has to be continually worked on and studied. Cultural differences can make working together very difficult, but with patience, dedication, empathy, and collaboration it can be done. However, without those things the results can be devastating.

Looking at the history of the United states of America throughout its economic stages and development, The US was built on the backs of refugees. Going all the way back to the beginning in Americas timeline, you could say that all the pioneers were immigrants to the native Americans from England. Not only that but the salves who built and farmed most of this country came from Africa, not to mention the Chinese who built and did the hardest jobs for prudent pay and died on the railroads, plus the Irish Immigrants who also worked the railroads. The railroads are the biggest reason america is what it is now, and the immigrants made them. the most harm refugees have done to this country is the commotion caused by its originally immigrant

Over the years more and more refugees,migrants come and go to different countries and from different countries.

According to The UN refugee agency (UNCHR) approximately 11 million Syrians have fled their homes since the outbreak of the civil war from which 4.8 million have fled to neighboring countries like Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq and over 6.6 million are internally displaced within Syria. This refugee crisis in the Middle East is one of the greatest and most complex humanitarian crises of this generation. Since such large numbers of people have already left for most of the neighboring countries, it was evident restrictions would be imposed by those countries. As pressure is rising for European leaders to resolve the refugee crises, critics are also asking why Middle Eastern governments have not done more the to help the Syrian refugee

Refugee issue is a global issue mainly due to wars, conflicts or environmental, political, religious and racial reasons (Gibney & Gil, 2010). In recent years, the turmoil triggered by the "Arab Spring" in many countries in West Asia and North Africa causing numerous refugees, so it has once again attracted the attention of people（Grossman, 2017）. People forced to relocate their homes and even renounce their nationality by war or natural disasters are defined as refugee（UNHCR，2017）.The influx of refugees brings cheap labor forces reducing the cost of productions ,and causes the promotion of economic development. In addition, the increasing population leads to an increase in demand which can increase the income of the host countries and the state tax. It can be argued that refugees are unable to benefit the host nations because refugees increase unemployment rate and occupy resources in education. Although it may be true that there are some negative effects caused by refugees, refugees can benefit the host nation in terms of economy and social advancement.

The number of people seeking a better life in Europe has not dropped, and many countries, including Germany and France, have felt that it was necessary to have a similar security policy that can easily address the migration. The thought has been rejected by EU leaders. Turkey has been working hard to host 1.6 million migrants due to displaced Syrians within its borders. Taking in refugees is not inexpensive. The total cost to Turkey is estimated to be $4.5 billion and the numbers are currently rising. Turkey has introduced new regulations in order for Syrians to have a stronger legal status in the country, and healthcare and education is

They didn’t like his empty promises for reform so the Syrians began protesting in an attempt to convince him to resign, which eventually resorted to actual warfare when he attacked protesters. This warfare has been split into four main sides; the Syrian government, the rebels, the Kurdish, and ISIS ("Syria Profile - Timeline." 2015). Since the start of this war, there has been an estimated total of nine million refugees ("Syrian Refugees." 2014), with only 4.1 million refugees actually registered (Martinez). Around 29 countries have been accepting refugees, some accepting more than others (Holger). Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan have been taking in more refugees than any other country. Germany has been the most vocal and receptive to refugees while accepting the most in the European Union. An estimated 800,000 refugees are expected to be accepted into Germany over time (Holger). Wealthier countries in the Middle East such as Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain have been doing very little to help in the humanitarian effort, and making it difficult for refugees to be accepted into their countries

Bombs are destroying crowded cities, many violate human rights. The U.N estimates about 6.6 million have been displaced and are now living in underfunded camps, basic necessities like food and medical care are scarce. The Syrian refugees who have been fleeing are entering or living in Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey. Many refugees are attempting the dangerous trip across the Mediterranean Sea from Turkey to Greece, in hopes to find a better future in Europe. Although, refugees seek a better life many still face challenges along the way across the sea because they pay a lot of money to get across, their transporters may rape them or rob them from their money and leave them abdon afterword, and the sea may have terribles storms to come

The way people see security and safety is changing around the world due to increase numbers of terrorism. Countries around the world are becoming more in favor of securing their border and bring in less and less immigrants. This sentiment has been gradually increasing over the years. However, one country government openly welcomed Syrian refugees and that nation is Germany. S. Akbarzadeh, and D. Conduit, (2016) state that more than 4.8 million refugees are living outside Syria, and many more are displaced in the country. Many countries now realize the effect the war has had not only to the Syrian people but to other surrounding nations.

Refugees. There are a large number of them, but what does that mean? Well, according to US Citizen and Immigration Services, refugees are, “people who have been persecuted or fear they will be persecuted on account of race, religion, nationality, and/or membership in a particular social group or political opinion.” (USCIS, 2015) In other words, they are pushed out of their country for fear of their lives. This then creates the issue of where they end up. According to the UN Refugee Agency, there are about 21.3 million known refugees worldwide. Of that 21.3 million, are 4.9 million that come from Syria. Also, the UNHCR notes that the top three hosting countries are Turkey, Pakistan, and Lebanon (which as of 2015, had 183 refugees for every 1,000 residents). (UNHCR, 2016) However, the US, which has a huge expanse, is not on the list. According to the Washington Post, the US has met its goal of granting asylum to 10,000 Syrians in the past fiscal year, but that is still not a large number compared to other countries. Such as Canada, which “with a population barely a tenth the size of the United States’, has resettled three times more Syrian refugees since last fall.” (The Washington Post, 2016). This issue of what to do with refugees is looked at in the three articles that will be discussed in this paper.

“A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war, or violence” (UNHCR). In recent years countries around the world have been taking in refugees from nations within the Middle East. According to USA for UNHCR, over half of all the refugees from around the world come from Syria, Afghanistan, and South Sudan. The reason this is occuring is because within the

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.
