Hey mom! allow me to be the first to welcome you to debating on my page haha. I've always looked forward to possibly debating you on here! Haha
first off I have to say the claim that any of the Paris attackers were refugees, is false. They were Belgian and French citizens who were tied into a network of extremist Islam. After the attacks, France decided not to give into Terrorism and continue taking in refugees. They didn't back down because they understand giving in, it's a victory for ISIS. Isis does not want Muslim refugees leaving because that hinders their "Caliphates" legitimacy.
Now in terms with my view domestically, we can't give in to fear. I won't call you a xenophobic racist, or an islamophobe because I know that is not the case.
For the vast majority of Australians asylum seekers are an issue of concern, where most people disregard and do not accept the idea. In 2001 sociologist Katherine Betts analysed opinion poll date on the issue of boat arrivals. She analysed the date from the past 25 years and it showed that in the late 1970’s 60% of Australians wanted to let a limited number of asylum seekers to stay and 30% wanted to stop them from staying. In 1993, 45% wanted to send asylum seeker straight back without assessing any claims, where only 7% believed that they have a right to stay and 48% approved the idea of holding asylum seekers in detention. Finally, in 2001 77% of Australia supported the Howard government decision to refuse entry to asylum seekers. Most attitudes
Why is it that over 3,000 refugees have died trying to cross over to Europe- 2,500 Libyans in 2015 alone- and yet Europe still closes their doors? (Refugee Deaths) It might be paranoia from attacks in Paris, Brussels, and most recently, London. Even though none of the hostiles were refugees, they all had ties to the ISIS chapter in Syria that was based in Libya, where the “refugees” are coming from. (BBC) A recent poll showed that al least 10% of people applying for refugee status in Syria, were known ISIS sympathizers. In light of recent attacks, Europe’s anti-immigrant and refugee status has grown, which has been fueled by websites with views similar to our President Trump’s. (Washington Post) Upcoming elections in Europe, will most likely result in new, and stricter, anti refugee
Refugees have been the spotlight in many countries in the past few years. In Canada, refugees where mainly sourced from Syria, Eritrea, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Congo (Puzic 5). The difference between refugees and immigrants is “refugees are people who have fled their countries because of a well-founded fear of persecution. They are not able to return home” (Government of Canada 1), but immigrants are people who chose to leave their country and settle in another for their own reasons. A lot of people do hate the fact that refugees have been the main focus recently, and how “they have been treated better” than our own people, but that does not beat the fact that there are many advantages that come from the refugees. Refugees bring the advantages of increasing the country’s population, boosting the country’s economy, and increasing the country’s diversity.
Imagine that you are in an airport trying to flee your country because there is a war going on, all of a sudden you get stopped by a security officer saying that the country you are trying to go to does not allow refugees, What would you do? The debate about refugees has been around since World War Two when Hitler was trying to torture or kill all the jews and other people he did not like. Here in America we did not let refugees into the U.S. during the war and a bunch of them were killed, however some did survive. Some people think that we should let them into the United States of America well, others say they should not be allowed to enter the U.S. In the year of 2016 there was around thirty-eight thousand refugees that were allowed into the United States. There were a bunch of other refugees that applied to come to the united states but got denied, because the U.S. did not choose them or they did not pass the test to become a refugee. The idea that refugees should not be allowed into the united states because they could bring disease, they could be a criminal or a terrorist, and they use up our land and resources deserves some merit. However These arguments do not realise that if we bring them into the United States we could save their lives, or give them better living conditions. In this article I will argue that we should allow refugees into the United States, but only under certain circumstances. Those circumstances are they should be allowed into the united
Imagine this. You’re rapidly fleeing your home country, sprinting as your life depended on it, which it did. The memories of the terrible war, still pounding in your head. The piercing roar of the gunshots. The gruesome red blood, glistening in the sunlight. You need to go, go to a free country, a land where everything is safe and sound, and not demolished like your home. You need to go, you need to leave Syria.
Have you ever imagined that you would be having the feeling that you should not be feeling all because of something that can easily be prevented, or a feeling where you need to prevent a problem well ever since 1948 we have been bringing in refugees because of their problems well because of it now american citizens including me may have the worry of not having the job you want or having to get even more vaccines or not even that getting a disease that you don’t even know of or even having your country under attack because of possible terrorist coming in the united states blending in with the refugees. That why I feel Refugees should not be allowed into the United States because of deadly diseases, possible terrorist, and they will take up housing and jobs for america.
Destruction, violence, and chaos engulfs the lives of those in the Middle East, specifically in Syria. Since 2011 the country has been in disarray and consumed in a vicious civil war displacing millions of inhabitants of the region. Several countries have offered aid and asylum to these refugees, which raises the question: Should the United States (U.S.), a prominent world leader, allow Syrian refugees to seek asylum in their country? Several articles explore this question, including “Are Syrian Refugees Really a Security Risk? - Harvard Political Review”, “To Defeat ISIS, Know Thy Terrorist; Scorning Syrian refugees is doing ISIS a huge favor”, and “No vetting of Syrian "refugees" in Obama's "resettlement" invasion: the FBI says there is no way to vet incoming refugees and Senate and House chairmen blasted Obama for serious national security risks and economic costs of refugee policy”. The authors of the first and second article, Evan Bonsall and Kurt Eichenwald, argue that the refugees should be allowed asylum, while the author of the third article, William F. Jasper, argues against granting asylum. All of the authors employ complex rhetorical strategies including ethos, pathos, logos and other systems to explain their opinion and target their desired audiences.
Why should we let this continue to happen? The treatment of asylum seekers is appalling and our government is doing nothing about. Not willing to let people enter either way and try to persuade them to go back to their country and majority of them get killed. They do not even have the right to have a lawyer. People now are worried about their life and do not seek freedom and that’s placed at our hands
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?
Emmanuel Macron, the French president and politician, has tightened the immigration rules France has to follow, and these rules are due to be unveiled in February 2018. France has had to modify the previous laws because of the record breaking influx of refugees and migrants. ¨In 21017 a record of 100,000 people asked for asylum in France¨ (Economist). Although the new rules allow for a faster immigration process, it can also give the authority for more people to be denied access to France, and it decreases the amount of time an immigrant legally has to lodge an appeal against a refusal for asylum. Many of the refugees fleeing from surrounding countries are angered by this rule because they believe it is unfair to deny such a great amount of
Refugee issue is a global issue mainly due to wars, conflicts or environmental, political, religious and racial reasons (Gibney & Gil, 2010). In recent years, the turmoil triggered by the "Arab Spring" in many countries in West Asia and North Africa causing numerous refugees, so it has once again attracted the attention of people(Grossman, 2017). People forced to relocate their homes and even renounce their nationality by war or natural disasters are defined as refugee(UNHCR,2017).The influx of refugees brings cheap labor forces reducing the cost of productions ,and causes the promotion of economic development. In addition, the increasing population leads to an increase in demand which can increase the income of the host countries and the state tax. It can be argued that refugees are unable to benefit the host nations because refugees increase unemployment rate and occupy resources in education. Although it may be true that there are some negative effects caused by refugees, refugees can benefit the host nation in terms of economy and social advancement.
This isn’t a simple yes or no question. There are many factors that have to contribute to the decision about what is going to happen to these 11 million people who are struggling to find new homes and start over in a better place. Denying the refugees is essentially put their lives at risk. But at the same time, if we did welcome the Syrian refugees here, hoe could we afford this? I don't know of a fool-proof solution this problem, and I don't think anyone does yet. I do know that each side has pros and cons, both with consequences. I also know that this is a decision that could determine the fate of 10,000 people, and it needs to be considered
On Friday night, November 13, 2015, terrorists came into Paris with guns and suicide bombs. It has been said that it is the worst violence in France since World War II. ISIS, a terrorist group based in Syria and Iraq, has taken responsibility for these terrorist attacks. These attacks killed 129 people and injured even more. Paris citizens have kept candles going even though terrorism has darkened their city. The police say some suspects are still at large. AL.com said this about the attacks, “The French president, Francois Hollande, described Paris attacks as an act of war that must be mercilessly countered and on Monday, France dropped bombs on an Islamic State stronghold in Raqqa. The right to either individual or collective self-defense are the arguments that countries appear to have relied on to justify bombings against Isis and may prove to be similar
Calais is not considered a place for refugees to be able to temporarily settle while trying to seek asylum in the UK. Despite the dominant perceptions of refugees not belonging in the spaces of Calais, they persist and engage in place-making activities that contest the normative views. The ‘Jungle’ they live in is portrayed as chaotic and uncivilized, a rhetoric that is reproduced by the media and politicians in their discourse and action. The government of France has attempted to clear the camps multiple times, but when one camp is demolished, another one is built. Refugees in Calais are demonstrating their resilience through place-making processes in spaces that have been deemed inhospitable to them. This case study offers valuable insights
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.
