Goal: To improve the lives of refugees, asylees, parolees, and survivors of trafficking by helping them to acquire the cross-cultural information, skills, and social support network needed to gain stability in society and supporting them as they achieve educational and economic goals.

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.

America needs to work to remove the stereotype associated with refugees in order to get them the help they need and deserve. According to Psychology Today, in the 21st century, the number of terrorism related deaths that refugees were responsible for is 0. Moreover, research shows that highly

The privileged citizens of the United States shun refugees, without understanding their circumstances. The land they flee is more dangerous than the path to freedom. But not many understand the risks refugees face to arrive to a place of refuge. Death is probable, but death is better than the reality they face in their

The issue of whether or not allowing the Syrian refugees continue to enter the United States have became a popular issue after the terrorist attack in Paris on November 13th. In my opinion, I think U.S should still remain allowing the Syrian refugees to start a new life in America. Following two reasons can best explain my point of view.

The objective of The Refugee Act of 1980 was to create The Federal Refugee Resettlement Program to assist with the effective resettlement of people that needed to be exiled from their native country. Furthermore, this act was created to assist the refugees in accomplishing an economic self- sufficiency as soon as possible after their arrival to the United States. In addition, this act allows the president to assist and accept those foreign nationals who are under persecution due to their race, nationality, religion, and membership in a particular social group and political opinion into the United States. In addition, this act was the first major change in the United States that favored refugees from other countries. However, The Refugee Act of 1980 was a complete law concerning refugee resettlement and admissions to the United States (Alnord, 1983).

In 2013, the United States had only accepted 36 applications for granting asylum for Syrian Refugees. The Guardian’s Amanda Holpuch describes

Earlier this week The New York Times issued an account in their Sunday paper discussing the critical topic in regards to America accepting Refugees from the Middle East. The Times honed in on this topic in the column “ U.S Will Accept More Refugees as Crisis Grows”, written by Michael R. Gordon, Alison Smale, and Rick Lyman. The feature begins to discuss the problems that are being raised in the Middle East. Hundreds of thousands of men, women, and families in countries like Syria, Iraq, Somalia, and Bhutan are in danger due to the fact that their countries are facing war. This leads to the people of these countries being forced to leave in order to escape the war and oppression. These people are called Refugees. The problem cultivates as wealthier neighboring countries become reluctant in helping these refugees because of their anti-refuge politics. Refugees are then forced to travel as far away as they can, paying until they can no longer go any further. They are then forced into labor, later leading them to escape in an unsafe and deathly manner across the Mediterranean sea to Europe. This being the cause of the many deaths of men, women, and children across the Middle East as they had hopes of a better life elsewhere.The Washington Post also reflects on this subject in their column, “Refugees in America: Syrian family rebuilds life in the U.S” by Deepti Hajela. Hajela interviews a Syrian family, the Roustom. The father Hassan Al Roustom exclaims,

The creation of the United States of America was caused almost solely by refugees seeking a life away from persecution. Nowadays, however, it seems that the topic of refugees has entered a field of uncertainty and doubt. These people, who seek to escape from war-torn zones or for the sake of asylum, are being turned away due to issues that include their religion, race, or custom. Refugees are no longer looked at as people in need but rather people to question, whether for the sake of national safety or prejudice toward one subgroup of people. Countries around the world, including the United States, need to come up with plans to not only help ease the transition of relocation but to help families reunite in such a devastating time.

The United States has been a refuge for many people from other countries since the early 1900’s. Many Americans do not know the difference between a refugee, an asylum seeker, and an immigrant. Over the years, different associations, agencies, official acts and laws have come into existence to limit who can be awarded the title of refugee. Rules and regulations have become the most confusing part of coming to the United States if a person is seeking refuge. This paper will explore the history of the American refugee and the laws, regulations, and associations that aide or hinder their status.

Refugees experience many traumatic events throughout both their lifetime in their home country and during their trip of refuge. According to an online database by the name of Infobase Learning, “Refugees are at particular risk of developing mental health problems because of the trauma they often experience before and during flight, such as war-related violence, genocide, sexual assault and torture,” (Infobase Learning). By understanding the fact that refugees undergo many harrowing incidents, people may begin to grasp the fact that these events traumatize the refugees making them an unnecessary issue in the United States and other first world countries to deal with. As reported by the National Alliance on Mental Illness, 43.8 million adults in the U.S. alone experience a mental illness in a given year. This number is only increasing every year in addition to the growing amount of refugees we accept annually, the United States and other first world countries will be overloaded with the complication of mental health issues. Considering that daily life is already complicated enough, first world countries should not be obligated to accept refugees. These displaced people need not to come first world countries, instead stay in their own home country. If transported to the U.S. or other first world

It is noted that, refugees and asylum seekers come to United States due to fear of persecution and also escape war in their country of origin. The main intention of refugees is protection of their family’s lives and therefore, they migrate to another country for the

The American Refugee Committee (ARC) is an international organization dedicated to fighting against the trend of child mortality around the world. ARC has brought more than 35 successful years of expertise in services like sanitation, health care, shelter, education and protection for women, girls and their families, which are very critical to the refugee communities. With the refugees and host communities, we currently work in 11 countries around the world. Having replied to crisis’s from Haiti all the way to East Timor.We create resolutions to enduring humanitarian conflicts.

Flocks of Middle Eastern immigrants flood the shores of Europe in an attempt to escape the horrible conditions they find themselves facing in their homelands and this has lead many countries to face some tough decisions concerning how to handle this influx of refugees.While many countries are increasing the amount of refugees permitted to take shelter in their country, others are blocking these immigrants from being able to enter. In response to this massive movement of Middle Eastern residents, the United States government is trying to find measures to assist other countries in this troubling time. The most likely ways to help refugees is through monetary donations and an increased refugee quota. Even though refugees must pass extensive background

The organization that best supports the millions of Syrian refugees left destitute by the Syrian civil war is RefugeeOne, an organization made to respond to humanitarian crises across the globe. Founded in 1982 as a non-profit resettlement agency in Chicago, the organization has helped displaced people of the Cambodian and Rwandan genocides, victims of the Iranian revolution, and now Syrian refugees fleeing from the civil war (RefugeeOne). 80% of the staff, including Melineh Kano, the executive director of the organization, know all too well what the refugees are facing, as they were once refugees themselves (Campbell). Because of the personal experience that they possess, they are further able to understand the refugee’s needs, and can therefore
