Persuasive Speech: What Happened To Refugees

Sadly, that's the harsh reality for many asylum seekers, seeking refuge in Australia as they are arbitrarily detained. Good morning or afternoon. It has been a profound honour to be invited to address you about the eloquently breach of basic human rights asylum seeker face while being detained in our shores. Mandatory detention should be abolished as it causes indiscriminate health risk. Instead, the Australia government should allow asylum seekers to settle into the community. We should be viewing asylum seekers as a humanitarian issue instead of a political one.

Australia’s migration policy is the main topic I would like to present today. Before I start my speech, I would like to tell you a short story about my host mom. At this moment, she is an Australian president. She came to Melbourne when she was 25 years old. However, she did not go to here as an international student or refugee. She married my host dad, who has an Australian citizenship. After she had Pr, she started to study accounting in RMIT University and worked in Footscray as the mobile seller. My host mom always got high scores in her university and received the scholarship as well. Then, she found a job with a high salary in the city. I admire her so much. She said to me there are many ways of migration, I can marry someone who has an Australian nationality or I have to study hard so I am able to settle in here. But, I think the second one is more suitable for me because I don’t want to depend on anybody. My friend, who studies abroad in France, asks me why Australia’s migration policy is so difficult. My answer is Australian government protects their citizen through the policy

I still remember when I met you. That prideful charisma you always carried. How can someone remain so confident being a Mexican immigrant during Trump's election? I often asked myself before I knew your story, before I knew what you had been through.

This topic of this essay will be about Asylum seekers in Australia. Detention centres are meant to be a safe place, while Australian officials try find documents and I.D. However, 27 humane, innocent citizens have died in these so called “safe” detention centres. Yet the Government has done zilch to improve the status and condition of the Asylum Seekers and Detention Centres. This is why Australia must allow Asylum Seekers to enter the Australian community. If the government allowed Asylum Seekers to enter the community, then their rights will improve immensely, they will be educated while in situated Australia, and finally the government will be able to reduce funding for detention centres.

Raul Galvan came to the Stevens Point campus to talk to the students about immigration. He is an immigrant himself and he came to America, just like everyone else, for a better life. He now is an avid speaker for the Latino community. He travels around the state educating people on the Latino lifestyle as well as the struggles they face.

Imagine being a parent at an airport waiting to go see your kids but then all of the sudden you can't pass through the gates, why? Well, because the current president Donald Trump banned 7 nations from entering the United States. What do you do now? That's how frustrated and disappointed people were at the airports when the ban took action on Friday, January 27th. It was unaccounted so people were not aware of it although, it was expected to occur anytime soon. He believes the United States would be a better place without those nations so, therefore, he felt the need to ban refugees from entering the United States. It all might sound scary but as he was running for candidacy many people were aware of how everything could be changed

2017 and still the hate-filled comments a float our children’s heads and our parents ears. It seems we are taking steps back instead of forward. Even in the United States, “The Land of the Free” we hear it by the one who is in Charge. What have you done Mr. Donald Trump? Filling our children’s heads with the ideas of the past. See when we all first got here we came for the same thing, only difference is the year. Yet people are being judged and labeled by the mistakes of the few. We all came for bigger and better things. There is no need to lie, everyone has a “bad apple” in the bunch. But why Mr. President must you label all of us the same.

As you may be aware, what I recently quoted was a reference from Dumbledore to whom was a teacher, a mentor and a big influence on his students. I am standing here before you to convey my views on the refugee predicament.

Our country is supposed to be one about opportunity, neglecting to provide an equal chance for these children to learn would contradict the notion that America is the land of opportunity.

is a derogatory term given to asylum seekers who arrive in Australia by boat, without obtaining a valid visa or other form of authorisation such as a passport. Most people arriving by boats are facing desperate and life threatening situations in their country of origin, and fear a form of persecution such as torture, murder and imprisonment. These people are often so desperate to flee their corrupt or dangerous countries that they risk their lives to travel to Australia by boat. They endure appalling conditions by the smugglers who often take away any or all forms of documentation. If the boat people refuse these terms than they will most probably be abused, shot or killed. Despite all of these reasons, people decide that these conditions are

America should not be living in fear because of a demagogue, but the reality is that America is, and it has affected many of us. Those who came to America for better living are in fear of getting deported, many people feel the need to hide. Many people don’t do things they use to because of fear that someone is watching. Trump has promoted inequality and has used it to his advantage. He has deceived us as a country and as lied to the people. We have seen more and more people being vocal and using their right of speech to yell and tell immigrants to go back to where they came from. The American people have been abusing our right and freedom to speech by telling others how we feel and think.

Our new president, Donald J. Trump, really can fit the bill and build the great wall he plans to. In case you haven't been listening to news or the media the past year and a half then you wouldn’t know about the great controversy of Trumps 2000 mile long wall along the U.S and Mexico border. Trumps wall can and will stop immigration. With a well protected wall immigrants will have an extremely difficult time getting through or over the wall. An increased border patrol presence will make sure any immigrants who manage to get over are taken back. Also with underground tunneling sensors it will be nearly impossible to get under.Trumps wall will put an end to illegal immigration in the U.S.

“If you meet the criteria, you can come out of the shadows and get right with the law. If you’re a criminal, you’ll be deported. If you plan to enter the U.S. illegally, your chances of getting caught and sent back just went up” (Acosta).

Words used everyday by our media and our highest politicians. We hear it uttered with condescension and tainted by fear.[b] But essentially ‘asylum seekers, refugees, boat people’ is what will determine our country's federal election. But many people in this room may not actually know what these 3 phrases really mean[c]. Are these people that seeking a better life, trying to be free and do what’s best for their families. Similarly maybe even searching for health care and resources, perhaps even fleeing from persecution or something else that is out of their control.

Good morning delegates of the youth parliament and observing members. Today I stand before you to discuss an issue that continues to evoke high emotions and create deep divisions within Australian society. I refer to the matter of refugees and Australia's immigration policy. Not since the second world war has the world faced such an upheaval with so many people displaced. In 2015 there were 65.3 million people forcibly displaced from their homes because of conflict and persecution. Developing countries hold 84% of refugees while wealthier countries like Australia prioritise the need to reduce asylum seekers within their borders. The current policy contravenes the proper treatment of refugees and asylum seekers; because regardless of their mode of entry, once here Australia has a duty to provide protection.
