Equal Opportunities For Refugees During World War II

Throughout the world, there is an estimate of about 65.3 million refugees that have either been forced out of their homes or chose to willingly escape the violence or corruption they faced in their homeland. Of those millions of people, only a small percentage are given the status of refugee as many nations have strict requirements and only allow a specific amount each year. This leads to an increase in the amount of illegal immigration as many are desperate to risk their lives to for a better one then they had back home. Even as refugees are given asylum, many often face difficulties such as discrimination due to the racial stereotypes that exist as a result of negative depictions in the news and media. Although nations have generally become more open to receiving and providing aid for a significant amount of refugees seeking asylum, people’s ideology of race and the misrepresentation of the media towards immigrants prevent an even larger amount of refugees from being accepted into society.

Refugees go through a lot when fleeing home, including leaving behind favorite food. According to the novel it states, “ Brother Quang forces a swallow before explaining we are used to fresh-killed chicken that roamed the yard” (Lai 120). In this quote it demonstrates that Brother Quang is missing the food, and like most of the refugees don't get adapted to the food from their new countries. Also, the refugees that are able to leave their home country, They leave behind family, friends, and love ones. In the text it states, “But i miss my friends in Sarajevo… Sometimes i wish I’d stayed there, watching the war, rather than being here, safe, but without friends”(Brice 26). In this quote it shows how the children that left home country are missing their loved ones and adults do so too. Furthermore, most refugees like Brother Quang leave behind their studies just to go to safety. According to “Ten Borders” it states, “I just want to get back to my engineering studies”(Schmidle 4). This evidence leads me to understand that the refugees were almost professionals and most were already professional but the war took away that privilege to become successful in their home country. These evidence shows that most of the refugees miss a trait from their home country that their new country just doesn't

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.

There are multiple businesses that offer jobs for refugees so that they can get used to our culture, and provide for their families. We often help put their children into some of the programs that we have here in the U.S. to help them catch up. For example; the USRAP, the PRM, and the USCIS, are some of the programs that refugee children attend. But why stop there? We can donate, volunteer, and just help the refugee community as best as we can.

Since immigrants enter this country every day in search of a new life there is a constant fear that you employer is going to find a replacement for your job if you fail to excel at it. In the Book, Of Beetles and Angels by Selamawi Asgedom, Mawi’s father Haileab finds a job as a janitor, but after his health starts to fail him he loses his job. As time went on Mawi went onto describe how his father was deteriorating. He described how, “his eyesight departed slowly, and his work error multiplied – a lost key here, an unlocked door there – until his employers had no choice”( Asgedom 96). As a result of Haileab eyesight beginning to decrease he was let go from his only job; therefore, he could no longer support his family. Since Haileab was the only one in the family working at the time there was no source of income for the family. As a result, the family was forced to give up their home because they could not make their rent payment. Unfortunately, it is very common for immigrants struggle to sustain a job. Many immigrants, especially from third world countries, face this issue due to their low skill and education levels. In most cases immigrants rely on the job they have just to get by. Money is necessary to allow people to live the American dream and since so many immigrants cannot sustain a job there can’t fund success and

In the article Shattered Lives by Kristin Lewis Dania faces several challenges living as a refugee outside her country. First of all Dania and her family had no choice but to fled after her school had closed and there was lots of bombing in her village. She had to run from the war. Which led to Dania’s family having to live in a small garage with no heat. In the article it talks about how Dania’s father tries finding jobs where he can, but trying to find good paying jobs is hard. Dania misses everything she had to leave behind, like her home her friends, everything. Dania was enrolled in school, and everything is getting better, the school helps them a lot like with everyday items she needs for school and food. The war in Syria hasn’t ended,

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.

Commentary 1: Refugees areal deadly facing an awful life and a tough screening process, but even after it is all over their lives will still be far worse than ours. They will be disrespected and have trouble socially fitting into this new

Resettlement is the only solution for those who cannot return to their own countries in the foreseeable future and are only welcome temporarily in the country to which they have fled; in other words for those who have nowhere to go. There are millions who would choose this option if there were countries that would take them. For these refuges, resettlement may mean the difference between life and death. It certainly is their only hope for a decent existence. (Singer 252)

World War II was a very important event in American history, but as bad as war is or seems to be there always seems to have better outcomes in the end. By the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and bringing America into the war it opened the eyes of all Americans to the problems not only domestically but internationally and the biggest problem that was discovered after the completion of World War II was the level of social equality around the world. It had been a problem that had plagued the world for many years but the atrocities that brought about by the war coupled with the ever growing eye of the media caused for greater concern in the light of social equality in the world.

The number of legal and illegal immigrants had gone very high from 9.6 million in 1970 to over 30million today. There are three reasons why immigrants come to America, they're political refugees, the second reason is, they're highly skilled, and they're actively sought by the United States, and the third reason is they're highly unskilled. Most of the time immigrants come to other countries to be safe from the war in their country or for better opportunities. I am a legal immigrant that my country because of the terrible war that was going on there and I moved to America to be safe. According to nouveau poor documentary in 2001, more than 5 million immigrants, or more than one in six, were living in poverty. This represents a continuous increase over the last 20 years and is likely to continue. In contrast, only one in eight native-born Americans lives in poverty. And this figure has hardly changed in 20 years. Recent immigrants earn about 1/3 less than natives. According to one of the immigrant in this documentary “The mostly hours that I work is 58 hours. And then they pay me only $350. They pay me $6.50 an hour plus the overtime. But I don't think it's enough money to be the cooker, being in the smoke and the heat. I think its hard work for the money that I get”. Most of the time immigrants have very nice

In today’s global network, there are many opportunities for individuals to seek out and explore different ways to make an honest living. However, the economics and variables that go along with immigrant labor, on a massive scale, can be quite a challenge to get an accurate picture of all the positives and negatives to consider. Further consideration has to be taken into account for individual immigrant workers that eventually rise out of the socioeconomic position that they are in to become successful, contributing members in their new-found community. All of this information has to be carefully weighed to have a truly accurate picture of the short and long-term benefits of the immigration labor in the UK and how it helps or hinders the collective

To sum up, there are a number of factors giving rise to the social problems faced by refugees today. Democratic countries should accept refugees on duty. On the political front, it is an obligation to preserve human rights for refugees. In the social aspect, refugee is a serious problem that every country should concern with. Furthermore, refugees will promote the economic development in some extent. Government should accept people because it isan

The first reason why refugees have positive effects on the host nation is that refugees can give a promotion to economic prosperity by increasing labour forces and state incomes. Firstly, the influx of refugees is a boon to the host country by integrating effectively into the labour. Refugees play a key role as productive economic consumers and producers. According to Alloush (2016), refugees actively participate in the
