Refugee Controversy

As I sat on the back bench of a 12 passenger van with a coffee in my hand and my head on the back of the seat in front of me, I realized I had nothing left to give. All of energy was gone. I had come to the end of myself. We were driving down a bumpy road to an apartment complex filled with new faces from far away countries. As we drove I realized how much we had been doing every day and the weight of the things we had seen started to sink in. The refugees of Clarkson, Georgia had been through so much and I was getting a small glimpse into their lives during this week. However, it was Thursday afternoon and I was tired. We had been helping kids in the school all morning, then explored and ate at an international market, and my stomach was starting to turn from the ethnic food we had eaten. As we drove along and our leader described the after school program we would be working with I realized how physically exhausted I was. I began to pray for strength from God, and I told him that anything that

In the book The Remaining Refugees, the third book in the series The Remaining, Lee is just recovering from injuries he sustained in the last book. Even with a limp and a bad arm, he is still helping lead the group without a problem.

Refugee’s lives turn “inside out” by separation, no choices, and traveling. Lives are turned inside out by no choice in what they want. In the article, “Refugees: Who, Where, Why?” it says, “Since early times large groups of people have been forced to flee their homelands.” Overall this tells me even if they wanted to stay with all of the chaos going on they couldn’t. Separation also turns lives inside out. I know this because in the poem “Watch over us page 50,” it says,” father watches over us even if he’s not here…Uncle son tells us to be ready any day.” This explains that with father not being there, hopes can be down and they can struggle more. Traveling for Ha also turns them inside out. In the poem, “Last Respects.” Page 85 it says,”

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

This article explains and show the immigration crisis today in Europe and how it might still yet to get worst. In Europe as it is today, has been serving as a major ground for immigrant refugees. There is over sixty million displaced people and refugees, numbers not even heard of during the period of WW2 coming from not only seria but from other regions like Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa and even Haiti. The must striking thing about this crisis, is that it is still expected to get worst. Say if the tailaban keep trying to extend their territorial gains across Afghanistan, this will force afghans to want to migrate. Due to this attacks, about one hundred thousand afghans are expected to migrate to Europe this year. These numbers increase daily as these refugees try to escape thier home countries due to terrosm or other unpeace conditions. For example many inhaptants of Iraq are already homeless, daily amid wartime shortages of food and medicine and persistent bombardment by Isis . Yemen is not much farther away from Europe than eritia now the biggest source of African refugees, just across the Red Sea, and at some 25 million it is as. According to numerous interviews conducted, Nigeria which has a

The Immigration crisis in Europe captured the world attention. Last year there was almost one million refugee flow to Europe. The increase of political crises in the whole world has made from immigration is the only way to survive from death or an unpredictable future. Therefore the emigrants from all over the world seek to asylum in European counters because they assume it's well the gate of their dreams to have a stable future for them and for their children. Consequently, with increasing of the political crisis in the world has made from immigration is the only solution to escape from political, demographic, religious conflicts unsolved problems as in Iraq and Afghanistan. The citizens in Arab communities were the victims

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?

Europe is facing an extraordinary abundance of illegal immigration from the Middle East and Africa. A crisis of historic proportions that raises the question, “should Europe shut down their borders and stop allowing immigrants in, or should Europe allow immigrants who are fleeing civil war and the terrible conditions of the Islamic State into its countries? Both sides of the debate have good arguments to back up their responses. By keeping the borders open for refugees, Europe can benefit greatly from the contributions that immigrants could make. But, on the other hand, allowing a large number of immigrants into Europe could have a negative impact on the economy. Even though allowing an abundance of refugees into Europe could have a negative impact on the economy, the contributions these immigrants could make would make it worth the risk.

The estimated number of refugees since World War II is one hundred million ("Refugee”). Supporting and solving today’s refugee crisis is especially controversial because of the current events, financing, and security issues. A refugee is a person who has left their country because of fear of their safety due to violence, race, religion, or war ("Refugee Facts”). Climate change and natural disasters sometimes cause people to leave their homes or countries. Some examples of these natural disasters are floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and mudslides. These do not qualify as a reason to be a refuge ("Refugees"). Refugees leave their country and move to another country and ask for asylum which provides protection and assistance as a confirmed refugee.

Turkey is left with a high number of refugees all to alleviate Greece's burden. Greece, already being in economic turmoil is aided by the deal through its attempts to pay Turkey to keep quiet about retaining an influx of refugees-refugees who are not always kept in the best conditions. A paradox that can be found in the EU-Turkey deal is that the EU tries to promote a certain standard of rights for refugees and supports human rights efforts by the UN, yet the practice of the deal itself is not up to those standards (Collett, 2016). This deal affects the refoulement of refugees by prematurely deciding that anyone who walks through Turkey, which is not a part of the European Union, must return to Turkey. By evoking this part of the deal, the EU is spared having to invest in refugees-a kind of out of sight, out of mind mentality. However, Turkey must accommodate the growing number of asylum seekers and manage its own internal issues. Ultimately this does not discourage people who still try to make it to

The fleeing refugees are fighting for their right to a better life, they are fleeing from their home land due to violence, collapsed infrastructures and for the children’s safety. They Syrian refugees should be welcomed into the United States of America not only for compassion or moral obligation but for these three reasons. First, Americans shouldn’t be alarmed or paranoid of a possible terrorist attack since the incoming refugees are being heavily screened by various agencies which are only allowing refugees into the country if they don’t impose a threat. Secondly, Syrian refugees are not terrorist, they are fleeing from their country to avoid becoming the next casualty or being engulfed by the violence surrounding them. Thirdly, the

The Schengen Area is comprised of 26 countries that have agreed to allow free movement of their citizens within this area as a single country. Schengen agreement was signed and implemented in alignment with the scenario of the unification of Europe as a single sovereign federation of states, similar to the United States of America . The idea was if the EU becomes a country with a common currency and open borders between the countries, this continent could re-gain its position in the modern world as a giant economic power by implementing a bigger trade, better communication, more science research, and so on. While some industrialized countries like Germany and France were hoping for cheap workforce through the Schengen agreement, pros and cons of immigrants and cheap workforce and their effects on their native citizens’ life were always in debate of European radical right-parties and the main obstacle in approaching this agreement. It is obvious that the writer is trying to create a worrisome issue looming over the Schengen countries by connecting the recent Paris attacks to the Schengen zone and suggesting the suspending of open borders within the countries in this area. While it is not clear either the Schengen agreement or the refugees or both issues are being targeted in author’s article, this paper explains the irrelevancy and nonsensically of this connection and suggests to view and solve these issues in a different way.

The recent immigrant wave in Europe has highlighted the various flaws and successes of Muslim integration models in Britain, France, and Germany. The two opposing methods of integration competing in Europe are Multiculturalism and Assimilation. Multiculturalism can be seen in the church-state relations in Britain and Germany as those two countries allow for the Muslims to worship and carry out their religious obligations and have received praise for their efforts by esteemed authors Joel S. Fetzer and J. Christopher Soper. However, the authors point out the respective shortcomings of each country by calling attention to Britain’s lack of providing equal academic opportunities for religiously affiliated private schools. Assimilation can be demonstrated through France’s policy on church-state relations, Laicite, which received noticeably more criticism from Fetzer and Soper for failing to place the Muslims in the most optimal situations for living as intended. The ending to the film, “In This World”, also leaves critics pondering the question of how the young boy was integrated into British society. Finally, the socio-economic opportunities of Muslims in Europe has been exponentially limited by integrational policies that have been in places like Germany. While each country does have positive aspects to their respective approaches, as Fetzer and Soper would attest, there is an imminent need for new guidelines to properly update

What if someone told you that you weren't welcome somewhere because you weren't originally from that certain place? Multiple people are told this every day, and many people are let down every day because of this. Accepting refugees is one of the major problems in the United States right now. I think that this problem is a very large problem that we have in the United States. America tends to have this problem because there are many different opinions on this topic. Some may argue that refugees should not be allowed into our country because they have many risks.This argument is distinguished from others because it will affect the way we live. In other words, we have many generations to come and when they come to the age where they are able to vote and help make federal decisions they will be able to take consideration of what views people have on this highly debated topic. But others may argue that they should be allowed into our country because they could be a good addition. I think refugees should be allowed into the United States under some certain conditions. One reason they should be allowed into the United States is that refugees could make a positive impact on our economy. If we allow them into our country they should be vetted to make sure that they are mentally and physically healthy to be around. Finally, if they want to be a part of our country they should follow the process of becoming a citizen of the United States. “Immigration reform shouldn’t be a

The European Union is a fortress of commerce, development, groundbreaking environmental initiatives, proactive human rights champions, and embodies the new era of integration efforts in the post-modern world. Europe is the recipient of global admiration as a prime destination for travelers who seek luxury, elegance, varying cultural experiences, and immersed in ancient history. European integration has produced the almighty EU that is considered to be one of the most respected, notarized, stable and secure intergovernmental and supranational bodies in the world. The appeal of Europe has reached an all time high as increasing global instability rises in neighboring countries surrounding the EU. Immigrants, migrants,
