Persuasive Essay On Refugees

Even though the main fear induced by climate change is whether the global average temperature would further increase or not, climate change has been having negative influences on people’s lives. Due to the rising sea level and erosion, six inhabited islands in the Pacific Ocean have a large amount of land being washed into the sea and people had to relocate (Reuters). According to EPA, the rising sea level also decreases the availability of farmlands and the rising temperature increases the presence of certain diseases, such as malaria and yellow fevers (EPA). People who are negatively affected by climate change and decide to relocate are called climate refugees. They have been present in protests, such as the People’s Climate March in 2017, opposing Trump’s denial of climate change. Despite climate refugees’ participation of political activities, I argue that in the US, civic engagement around climate change focuses on symbolic rhetorics, but neglects concrete advocating and assistance to climate refugees.

Mandatory detention is the practice of compulsorily detaining or imprisoning people seeking political asylum. Whilst Australia is not the only country to detain unauthorized arrivals in certain circumstances, it is the only country where there is mandatory immigration detention for all unlawful non-citizens. This imposition of mandatory detention for asylum seekers arriving in Australia without visas is a violation of basic human rights principles. As a signatory to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and countless treaties from the UN, our nation is in compliance with these principles, and whilst Australia continues to impose mandatory detention on Asylum Seekers we are violating the terms of these treaties.

In the final draft I will expand on each of the issues, by looking into more specific examples of both what different European countries are doing policy wise, as well as what the sentiment is among the refugees in the different areas of Europe. To fully be able to understand the conditions the refugees are facing I will be using other scholars ethnography work; One of those works being Katerina Rozakou’s piece regarding the management of refugees in Greece. As a result of that knowledge I will be able to come to an accurate conclusion as to what course of action should be taken in Europe as a whole, to deal with this ongoing

Asylum Seekers are people who escape their home and country to due threats to their life. These people need all the support and compassion they need yet why are we not allowing people to come to Australia? Is Australia not a country where we look after the needy, disadvantaged and the vulnerable? In 1951, Australia signed the UN Refugee Convention which defines a refugee as a person who is outside their country of nationality, and has a fear of being mistreated because of his or her race, religion or nationality. Thus, it appears deceitful that we sign the convention yet turn our backs against the asylum seekers and assert we cannot help them.

Refugees are people who are forced to flee a country because of persecution or because of serious human rights abuses. Refugees can help with things like the economy and by letting in refugees we can prove to Isis that we are not scared of them. Although it can be unsafe trusting machines to detect anything wrong, we are letting in families that need help, not singular people that are just looking for a place to live. Should refugees be allowed to come into a country that is peaceful and safe?

Humanity as a whole is deceived by our governments that in an event of a humanitarian crisis we will take in the refugees and provide a safe and secure environment. At this very moment millions of refuges are fleeing their countries because of a fear of persecution due to religion, race, nationality, political views or membership to a social group. Internationally displaced people, whether they are fleeing their country because of natural disaster or generalized violence, are considered under the 1951 convention as refugees have the right under United Nations law to enter a country of choice seeking asylum. All countries that have signed the United Nations contract have to abide by this law, but in the extreme case countries are denying the basic right of living to a group of persons trying to enter their country.

Accepting refugees in Europe has become a highly controversial problem in the past few months. Without a doubt, a large number of lives could be saved due to this ethical action; however, there has been a significant rise in protesting refugees. We should consider carefully the advantages and disadvantages of such a substantial

Can you imagine that your little town is being attacked or even a natural disaster may be occurring and you have nowhere to go? What would you do? How would you survive? You would have to flee your home away from the tragic disaster. You would have no place to call home and all you would have is the clothes on your back. Some in the process of leaving their town never get to see their family again and are lucky if they survive. This is why I believe that refugees should be allowed into the United States under certain conditions. These include having a positive background, being eligible for a job and respecting our nation as well as the people in it. As the US turns refugees away, thousands of lives are being taken away. We could easily help them by taking them into our country. Although some people that enter the country may commit crimes, that doesn’t mean we should turn all of them away. It would cause way more harm than good. Most crimes that happen in the United States are caused by the people that are US citizens rather than the refugees. All of these innocent lives are just being taken away and as many Americans sit back and do nothing about it. When we could be out there saving lives. Our country has to step in and do something about this serious situation. There are solutions we could use to solve these problems by making sure all people that enter this country are good at heart. Outside of very few exceptions our country is mainly made up of refugees and

If America were controlled by savage religious terrorists who wanted the world to end, what would a person do? Of course, a person’s first thought would be to fight back, but what if the civilians could not do anything? What if the people who took over America were ruthless and anyone who did not pledge to their religion would have his head cut off? The next probably be to flee the country and go to a safe location. The concept to move would defiantly be put into action as thousands of people would flock to countries such as England, Australia, and France. The truth is currently twenty-seven republican American governors are strongly pushing executive orders saying no Syrian refugees can come to their states. These states include Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Massachusetts, and Texas, just to name a few (Panic). This is a bewildering order to push considering the majority of people in Syria just want to escape the tragedy they are experiencing back home. Because America is the home of the free, and throughout history, has become a beacon for refugees all over the world, all Americans officials should accept the Syrian refugees into America.

America has always been known as the land of the free. Home to the brave, the strong, and the courageous. July 4, 1776 was when when our founding fathers declared America as an independent country. Since then, America has thrived to become one of the best civilizations known to man, and grew to be one of the most powerful countries in the world. America was not built on weakness, and fear, but rather the American Dream! The American values, ethics, and morals that we have built over the last centuries. For so many years, America has flourished in the face tragedies, and stood up to the things we feared. And now, when disaster is at our front door, nothing needs to change. The war in Syria has been a continuous threat to Syrian citizens, neighboring countries, and in many ways has affected the U.S. As Syrians flee from their country, they migrate to Europe, Turkey, and many other neighboring countries nearby. We as Americans should feel obligated to help Syrians, and welcome them freely into our country. As a nation built on immigrants

Do you like paying for things that don't affect you? That is what syrian refugees want us to do. They want people from other countries to pay for the syrian kids to get educated. I don’t think that people should have to donate through tax money. We shouldn't be forced to pay taxes for something that won't affect our country.

According to UNHCR, a refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war, or violence. A refugee has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. Most likely, they cannot return home or are afraid to do so. War and ethnic, tribal and religious violence are leading causes of refugees fleeing their countries. When people flee their own country, and seek sanctuary in another country, they apply for asylum – the right to be recognized as a refugee and receive legal protection and material assistance. An asylum seeker must demonstrate that his or her fear of persecution in his or her home country is

* UNHCR responds to the challenges in the protection of the refugees by increasing the cooperation resulting in the uplift conditions of Refugees today.

Because Syrian refugees are fleeing terrorism and poverty as the conflict escalates in their home country, European countries have a moral obligation to help those who are forced to seek asylum. For instance, in their New Statesman article on January 17, 2014 (2014 1) on the UN meeting discussing increased aid for Syrian refugees and Britain’s refusal to accept any, the article states,

The United Nations classifies a Refugee as anyone who is forced out of their country due to fear of persecution due to any of several reasons: race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion (“The 1951”). Every nation that belongs to the United Nations is legally obligated to protect these people if they find their way into anothercountry. The only way that these people can be deported is if severe conditions are met which make it unlikely that they will be sent back to their country of origin (CASSIDY). Many would argue against whether we should take these people into our countries; some of these people are in high positions or potentially high positions, such as Donald Trump in America or Milos Zeman in the Czech Republic. The simple fact is that we not only have a legal requirement to protect these people if they arrive into our
