Immigration And The Refugee Crisis

The changing environment throughout time has caused many families to move out of their homelands. These families are either forced to make the decision to move out, or they move by their own desire. Migration and parenthood in a new country are significant transitions that pose stressful challenges for immigrant and refugee parents. Although living in Canada can be rewarding, however, there are challenges that immigrants and refugee face through trying to adapt to the culture of Canada. These challenges may include, battling cultural shock, Language Barriers, Misconceptions of Homeland and culture, employment, and depression.

And the United States themselves should be able to accept as much refugees as they can due to the fact that there are some Americans that would do anything to help refugees out. For example, I read a document from the Boston Globe, titled “An Outpouring of Support for Refugees” and basically talked about how Cheryl Hamilton from Lowell asked many people to help her out to support refugees arriving from Congo, Syria, Myanmar, and Iraq. Cheryl and others basically gathered a collection of kitchen supplies, winter coats, blankets, and much more, just to give them to the refugees that have arrived to a totally different place than what they were used to. And it also said: “Volunteers walked into the office and said, “I can’t stand watching the news anymore. How can I help?”” This shows that there are some Americans that have no problem with letting in refugees, and are willing to do anything for them, because it help seeing what type of conditions they were living in, as well as what is going on in their home countries. For example, there’s a photograph from Time which shows a young boy covered in blood, and says: “Footage shared online by the Aleppo Media Center is said to show a boy who was pulled from an airstrike on Aug. 17 in the Syrian city of Aleppo.” which I remember

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

“We live on a blue planet that circles around a ball of fire next to the moon that moves the sea, and you don't believe in miracles?” Refugees believe in miracles to give them a better life. They know that good thing can happen to them so they believe in miracles to do just that. A refugee is a person who has been displaced from their home, many from war or a natural disaster. Most refugees seek shelter from camps, but not all. The main problem that a refugee has is they have no place to go, many countries take in refugees but most do not get to have that chance. The United states of America takes in refugees but still, it is not enough. In 2017 we should aim to take in at least one or two more thousand refugees than we have in the past years. If the United States of America were to take in more refugees we would be in a win-win situation. While others may say taking in refugees is too risky, The United States should take in more refugees because not only would the refugees be benefitting from this situation we would be too.

Throughout American history, immigrants have been entering the country to avoid political corruption and civil rights violations. The United States have been a safe haven for many. According to the articles; The Refugees at Our Door, A Few Other Times Countries Banned Religious or Ethnic Groups and Feds to states: No, you cannot ban Syrian refugees, America has been a home for people seeking asylum. Attempting to ban refugees from entering the country shows how unethical the morals of America has become. America does not have the ethical right to stop the immigration of refugees, however, it is acceptable for Americans to have their reservations as to whether it is safe to accept strangers into their homes.

According to Fox news,Obama administration officials plan to bring in about 10,000 refugees over the next year. This will give them a safe place to stay, a chance to get back on their feet, a chance to get a job, will allow them to get healthcare, an education, and any other other commodities the refugees could possibly need. But, every person has another side. In France, in November of 2015, the ISIS bombers were identified as refugees that had fled to escape the war. As they had started to live in France,they joined ISIS, and were undercover. Letting people into your country without thinking about it gives them a chance to be a threat. Some countries are letting refugees’ records slide so they can start a now life. CNN news says that 31 U.S. governors are not accepting Syrian refugees.Overall, it is the wrong choice to let refugees into your

Ha and other refugees Struggle, Face, Worry and Challenges. The challenge they both have in common is that they had to face challenges along they way. Their challenges were hard to face because, Ha go bullied and didn’t like the food, doesn’t want to being a different religion and trying to know her land. In “Refugees: Who, Where, Why” they had to face the same challenges, but not all that are the same. The “Refugees: Who, Where, Why” tells who were the people that were refugees, and where the refugees are going also why they decided to flee their home. “Today our cowboy brings a paper bucket of chicken, skin crispy and golden, smelling of perfection.” (Lai 119). Connecting to the new life in Alabama and how hard it is for Ha and her family

The first immigrants to the United States were European Quakers that came over on The Mayflower with a quest for freedom from the restraints of Great Britain and the Catholic Church. They were seeking freedom from oppression and the opportunity to build a better life. These people - by definition - are immigrants or refugees. We are all essentially foreigners in the United States, but some of us claim this land as our own - more so than others - and feel that people are intruding upon our “Americanized” country. This phenomenon has turned into a full-fledged political debate that has been coined as a “Refugee Crisis” or “Immigration Issue”. This is not just in the United States. Many European countries are dealing with the same issues and their refugees are seeking asylum from the torturous acts of ISIS. The history of immigration, the difference between immigrants and refugees, how immigration and refugees can be viewed as a social issue, and specific refugee and immigration conflicts and resolutions are all important factors of deciding how The Immigration Issue and Refugee Crisis are categorized as a social issue.

Currently there are more than 16 million refugees worldwide and this number is certain to grow considering the violence plaguing the Middle East. The United States has the largest resettlement program in the world in in 2013 accepted 66,000 of the 98,000 refugees who

Over 300,000 refugees are waiting at the borders of our country waiting to be accepted into our country. My question is why. Why would our great country want to weaken ourselves by letting illnesses and terrorism into our country, especially when they did not help us in the past? The United States should not accept refugees because of many reasons including terrorism, stealing jobs from U.S citizens and bringing sickness and unknown illnesses into our country. Hundreds and hundreds of terrorist attacks have occurred in our country the only blameable menace are us letting in refugees in. Thousands of refugees are working immediately, and illnesses are spreading to Americans in our country as soon as these refugees enter our country. Knowing all of these issues is it really worth letting them in?

Imagine having to live in a constant war, where it's not safe to go outside for months at a time. Imagine having your friends and relatives killed by the endless conflicts. Imagine having to give everything up for a chance at a possible new life (Reeves). Every day, migrants attempt to achieve a new life for these very reasons. It's not an easy journey, approximately 560 reach the shores of Greece and Italy everyday, however 56 migrants drown trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea daily. 1,680 a month, 20,440 a year (Fleming). As soon as they begin their journey, these refugees are plagued with problems, from the dangerous of the Mediterranean to the culture shock when they reach their destination (Al Abdullah). The migrant crisis has become

The immigration of refugees has been a recurring problem around the world. They want to escape the terror that is in their country, and go through life threatening journeys to go to other countries because they believe that it is a safe place for them and their families. Most people see immigration as a recurring problem in the U.S., as Americans fear that more, and more jobs will be taken. Some of them simply don’t want other races to assimilate with the American culture. In an article titled “Now Is the Time for Blame: Alan Kurdi and the Myth of a 'Generous' Canada” it says, “Germany has pledged to resettle 800,000 refugees by the end of 2015. Turkey has almost 2 million Syrian refugees. Iraq has 250,000. Egypt has over 130,000. Lebanon

The talk about the refugee crisis had three speakers and a short Question and Answer at the end. The first speaker briefly explained the status of the European refugee crisis and addressed the issue that U.S. policy has an effect (directly or indirectly) on the European refugee crisis. Currently, there are 1.5 million Syrian refugees in Lebanon and 2.5 million in Turkey. The conditions in Lebanon and Turkey are often not permanent solutions for refugees because it is too expensive for low-income refugees to live there. Low-income refugees usually can’t improve their economic status and become middle class in these situations because they can’t get work permits, permanent residency, or education. The refugees then leave in search of jobs and

The issue of refugees has a long history from a lot of countries around the world starting back in 1940s. Some people are either fleeing from their country that is at war or natural disaster or is a countries that are letting refugees into their own country and don't know when it is the time to say no to any more refugees that are trying to come into their countries. Imagine if all of the countries just gave up on helping the refugees and thousand by thousand they all start to die, just because we would not let them come to a safe place to life. How would you feel if all that was on the news was them saying thousand by thousand refugees are dies because countries are not letting them in. So I think that the U.S should let refugees into the U.S because they have been letting them in for over 200 years and why should they stop now, the U.S could be saving the lives of the people in the countries that are in need, and the U.S is a big super power in the world and other countries could benefit off of them and then go out and help other countries.

The European refugee crisis began in 2015, when a rising number of refugees and migrants made the journey to the European Union (EU) to seek asylum. Refugees are people who have been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. According to the data that was shown in Business Standard and also confirmed by BBC News, the top ten nations which account for 90% of the sea arrivals in 2015 were: Syria (49%), Afghanistan (21%), Iraq (8%), Eritrea (4%), Pakistan, Nigeria and Somalia (2 %), Sudan, Gambia and Mali (1%). Also the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees confirms that the top three nationalities of refugees are Syrian, Afghan and Iraqi. Of the refugees and migrants arriving in Europe by sea in 2015, 58% were men, 17% women and 25% children. (Wright, 2015). According to Eurostat, EU member states received over 1.2 million first time asylum applications in 2015, 4 countries (Germany, Hungary, Sweden, and Austria) received around two-thirds, while Latvia received a very small part of them.
