The Solution for Syrian Refugees in the United States A very controversial topic in the United States right now is whether or not to help the Syrian Refugees. There are two sides to this issue. One side believes that if we let them in, there will be terrorist attacks, which makes them a threat to the American Society. But on the other side, these are destitute humans, fleeing their homes to try to provide safety for their families and loved ones. But how can the United States help them most effectively? Because of the war that the United States had with Iraq since September 11, 2001, the war spilled over into Syria. How is the United States supposed to help the Syrians, and keep America safe? “States protesting the admission of refugees range from Alabama and Georgia, to Texas and Arizona, to Michigan and Illinois, to Maine and New Hampshire… …show more content…
As a result of this to keep America safe they put every Japanese person into an internment camp. According to the first Article in the Constitution of the United States, “The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it” (US Constitution) After WWII, there was a controversial issue about this. Most of these Japanese that were contained, were American Citizens and were forced to sell businesses and homes to get put into these internment camps. With the Syrian Refugees on the other hand, we will not have to worry about back lashes on this. All they are looking for is a safe place to live until Syria is put back into shape. Based on where internment camps are located, the Syrians will be able to grow crops to eat. The United States will have the obligation to document every single person in the camps. The National Government can set up security sufficient that will keep the Syrians
In Germany, the Catholic Church has a portion of the population consisting of 25.2 million. The Protestant Church, has 24.5 million members. The two churches make up more than three-fifths of the population. The Muslims number is approximately 4 million, with 226,000 Shia, 400,000 Alevis, and 2.6 million Sunnis. Germany has about 2,600 Islamic places of worship, including 150 traditional mosques (Germany, N.d.). Muslim populations continue to rise, especially with the conflict occurring in Syria which is displacing thousands of families. More than 6 billion euros are being set aside to house for 800,000 new refugee applicants this year. Germany is planning to take in 500,000 more for several years to come. This amount represents 1% of Germany’s population (Shubert, 2015). Not everyone in Germany is open to the idea of refugees coming into the nation and it is sparking up conflict between the citizens and the newcomers. When the chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, informed the nation that they would be taking in this amount of refugees, Germans who strongly opposed this decision burnt down a refugee shelter that ended up hospitalizing many of the individuals taking refuge inside (Shubert, 2015). Taking in refugees into the country is forcing the people of strong national identity to come forth and combat the intake of lesser political identities in the refugees. This kind of national pride is being started by right-wing extremists who believe that bringing in so many
Across the globe there has been a massive influx of refugees seeking refuge and help. This is in a large part due to the extreme violence occurring in the Middle East, but it also stems from people leaving their native countries because of poverty, religious beliefs, or other things that put them at risk. The nations of Europe have been hit extremely hard with incoming refuges. This makes sense, seeing how close they are to the middle east. What may be surprising is that Canada is also having many problems arising because of the amount of refuges coming into the country. In this paper we shall examine the problems stemming from the refuges in Canada and consider some ways that these problems may be solved.
On September of 2015, the image of 3-year-old Aylan Kurdi went viral. “The toddler’s lifeless body on a Turkish beach had reverberated across the globe” (Parkinson & George-Cosh, 2015). Aylan’s family had “fled the brutal civil war in their native Syria and only attempted the boat crossing after Canada denied their application of admission as refugees. The image led to an astonishing outpouring of support for Syrian refugees” (Hein & Niazi, 2016).
In both of these articles they talk about refugees. Some families had adjusted a new life after all the bad things that happened to them. When the refugees were being sent away, they felt queasy about where they were going. All the refugees thought they were going to get a document and be U.S. citizens. But they weren't, they were being sent to internment camps. And had to live there.
Regardless of what the United States government ultimately decides to do, it is important to stay open minded in drastic times like these. By attempting to remove the stereotype refugees have to carry around with them, assessing which countries we want to be associated with, and working to help those in need while keeping the security of American citizens in-tact-- America will be playing a very beneficial role in helping refugees acquire
Everyday, people all over the world are removed from their homes and forced to leave. You could be pushed out of your house from a foreclosure, or pushed out of your country from an extremist. In society today, thousands upon thousands of people are fleeing to a new country they can call “home” and where they can feel safe. Among these people, a big majority are the Syrian people. The Syrian Refugee Crisis has been relevant for about four years since the start of the Syrian civil war that began in March 2011, and is comparable to the Native Americans being pushed from their home lands. The Syrian Refugee Crisis equates to the Trail of Tears because both Syrians and refugees alike were pushed out of their homes, they were both forced to find
The debate about letting Syrian Refugees into America has been a heavily debated topic in the last year. One surprising fact is that, ‘The third largest city in the country of Jordan, Za’atari is just a refugee camp filled with Syrians escaping the Syrian Civil War and the population of Za’atari of 90,000.’ Syrians should be let into our county because: we have been letting Syrian Refugees into our country a very few have been of them have been radicalized and carried out terrorist attacks on our country, U.S. states cannot legally reject and deport Syrian Refugees coming here to seek refuge without the approval of the federal government, and not all the Syrian Refugees fit the supposedly true stereotypes
Many people believe that the United States should not let Syrian refugees into the United States to escape war would damage the country’s safety and way of life, but the U.S. should allow them in because it provides these immigrants such as humanitarian aid, safer families, a well- rounded education, and a strengthened workforce. As the Syrian Civil War rages, ISIS bombs the Middle East, and Russia targets airstrikes, thousands of Syrian refugees flee their home and country with their lives. Children cannot go to school and parents are running out of money. They need aid, but in the war-torn cities there is little help that these people can find. Separated from their jobs, livelihood, and families, they can
The utterly diminished and persistently conflicted regime of Bashar Al-Assad has led to several forces, including numerous rebel groups, Kurdish forces, and even ISIL to occupy the war-torn country of Syria in a seemingly never-ending ruination. Most importantly however, it has also led to millions of Syrians becoming dislodged between the remnant regions with the deaths of roughly half a million citizens, according to the Syrian Centre for Policy Research, from a civil war that originated due to a series of protests and differentiating ideologies. The situation has lead for surviving Syrians, now properly known as refugees, to seek asylum in neighboring countries in Europe, but even including some countries as far as in the Western Hemisphere, particularly the United States.
Syrian refugees today and German-Jewish refugees during the 1930's share many difficulties. Both the articles, "Fresno Family Represents the Plight of Syrian Refugees," and "Jews' Tale Plays Out Again as Syrian Refugees Find Resistance to US Entry" both prove that the Jews and Syrians issues are very similar. The US denied the German-Jewish refugees entrance, and now we are doing the same again with almost all of the Syrian refugees. The Jews from Germany in the 1930's during the Holocaust and the refugees from Syria today both face many hardships such as plight, prejudice, and discrimination, not to mention that they were, and are, criticized harshly.
See, the Syrian refugee is not contrastive to the Irish nor the Scott refugee, both are fleeing from the same bullets. The Syrian refugee is just another species of fruit loving sparrow. In America, they seek to rebuild their nest upon a secure tree and feast upon the same berries as the other birds. The refugee has not changed but rather the American. The only difference from hitherto is that the American’s government is now supplying the gunman with the ammunition. The enemy has at no time been the refugee, but rather who made them the refugee.
As you walk down the street from the grocery market, cruel words ring out and fill the air. You feel a slight tug at your black suit as your mom tells you to rush into the house. Coming from a bad environment, many refugees are perceived as a threat, and they weren't allowed to enter the United States. Still, Jews weren't welcomed, while many Syrian refugees are granted an entrance. While Syrians and Jews were wrongfully labeled as a threat, the Syrians are permitted to enter the U.S. while the Jews weren't.
A refugee is defined as an individual who has been forced to leave their country due to political or religious reasons, or due to threat of war or violence. There were 19.5 million refugees worldwide at the end of 2014, 14.4 million under the mandate of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), around 2.9 million more than in 2013. The other 5.1 million Palestinian refugees are registered with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). With the displacement of so many people, it is difficult to find countries willing to accept all the refugees. There are over 125 different countries that currently host refugees, and with this commitment comes the responsibility of ensuring these refugees have access to
As I looked over to snowy meadow I wondered if we would ever convince Strong horn we can't leave this place, as I stood up to walk over to the nearby flowing stream. This was the only body of water our flock had access to, as I watched the crystal clear water flow down the diagonal slope I saw my reflection in this water there I was a young Ram still being a trained killing machine to keep our flock together Bruce Defender of the Strong horn flock I thought to myself. There were also two other flocks the Bighorns and the Broken horns these clans were divided up by our family name.
a topic of great debate for many years, both in the UK and across many
