Why We Should Accept Refugees Into The United States

People all over the world have been asking themselves if it is right for their country to let in refugees from Syria. It is a question everybody fears from answering because of the consequences it may take. Several states in America have denied the entry because of security reasons and the over population. Even if there are several countries still refusing Syrians there are a few who are accepting them. Looking at some articles, I’ve seen differential opinions and one must read and understand why Syria refugees need a chance to be rescued from all the chaos and horror they’ve been through.

The idea of Syrian refugees emerging over to the United States seems to have been the talk for the past few years here in the United States. Although, over the years the argument of whether Syrian refugees should be granted the opportunity to enter the United States or to not to be able to, has always been a tough compromise. For countless of years refugees have been fleeing their homeland to find a new place to call home just to get away from the war. In spite of refugees fleeing the countries, many of the families are having a hard time trying to find new homes. However, the United States has to protect its country from the possible terrorists that the Syrians could bring with them if we allowed them to enter the United States. The civil war over in Syria has Syrians continuing to fight for their lives every day. Syrian refugees should not be allowed to enter the United States for the substantial amounts of attacks that those Syrians could pose.

In our world, there’s a lot of wars happening. Refugees are coming to our country to start a new life. We are struggling right trying to help our citizens that it's making it even harder to help the refugees. The U.S. should not accept refugees because economy will get worse and should not get involved.

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

And the United States themselves should be able to accept as much refugees as they can due to the fact that there are some Americans that would do anything to help refugees out. For example, I read a document from the Boston Globe, titled “An Outpouring of Support for Refugees” and basically talked about how Cheryl Hamilton from Lowell asked many people to help her out to support refugees arriving from Congo, Syria, Myanmar, and Iraq. Cheryl and others basically gathered a collection of kitchen supplies, winter coats, blankets, and much more, just to give them to the refugees that have arrived to a totally different place than what they were used to. And it also said: “Volunteers walked into the office and said, “I can’t stand watching the news anymore. How can I help?”” This shows that there are some Americans that have no problem with letting in refugees, and are willing to do anything for them, because it help seeing what type of conditions they were living in, as well as what is going on in their home countries. For example, there’s a photograph from Time which shows a young boy covered in blood, and says: “Footage shared online by the Aleppo Media Center is said to show a boy who was pulled from an airstrike on Aug. 17 in the Syrian city of Aleppo.” which I remember

The first reason why the U.S. should accept refugees is because they want to flee from the violence in their country. Document 2 shows a picture of a little boy who barely survived an air strike. His face is completely covered in blood and his body is completely covered in dust. This is a clear reason why they want to escape and flee from their country, they need safety and they don’t have that back at home. Innocent little boys and girls are getting bombed for really foolish reasons. The sad part is that they can’t do anything about it, the only thing they can do is flee. And if they try to fight back they’re most

The dilemma regarding the American refugee policy and America’s stance on refugees at this point in time is a challenging topic for many to discuss. Not only is this controversy affecting Americans, it is also hurting refugees in desperate need of our help. America needs to start handling the emerging refugee crisis by first working to remove the stereotype associated with refugees, then the U.S. needs to assess which refugee countries should (if any) actually be banned, and after accomplishing those-- America needs to work to help the countries in need by letting refugees in, and working to help the refugees live happily in their country of origin.

states cannot legally refuse Syrian Refugees without the approval of the federal government first. According to Stephen I. Vladeck, an American university law professor says that, “Legally, states have no authority of the question of who should be let into this country is one that the Constitution commits to the federal government.” Also, he added that, “Without the state’s participation, the federal government would have a much more arduous task.” Stephen finally added that, “… So a state can’t legally sat it is objecting, but it can refuse to cooperate, which makes things much more difficult.” Also, Kevin Appleby, the director of immigration policy for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, says that, “The federal government has the plenary power and the power of the 1980 Refugee Act to place refugees anywhere in the country.” ‘More than 250,000 people have died in the country of Syria and at least 11 million people have left the country since the Syrian Civil War has broken out,’ according to the United Nations, and ‘about 51.13636% of the Syrian population has been killed or fled their homes’ and has been discussed elsewhere (Fantz, Ashley, and Ben Brumfield. “Syrian Refugees Not Welcome in 31 States – CNN.com.”, and Yan, Holly. “Refugee Crisis: Pressure Builds for U.S. to Take in More Syrians –

Many U.S. citizens have no problem with Syrian refugees coming to America. According to both “Why America Could-and Should-Admit More Syrian Refugees.” and “Our Responsibility to Refugees”, The authors feel that The people of the United States are turning their backs on the refugees. In “Why America Could-and Should-Admit More Syrian Refugees.” the author says, “The United States has resettled over three million refugees, offering victims of persecution and conflict the opportunity to build a new life. Refugee resettlement is unequivocally safe. It would be wrong, both morally and politically, to curtail Syrian refugee resettlement, and why it is in fact both ethically imperative and politically expedient to instead expand U.S. commitment to refugee resettlement” (Long). This author sees nothing to fear from refugees. Furthermore, the writer of “Our Responsibility to Refugees” states, “The U.S. can do more and we must. Since 2011, more than 4.2 million Syrians have been displaced by war and violence, and fewer than 3,000 of them have resettled in the U.S. President Barack Obama has committed to resettling 10,000 Syrian refugees in the U.S. His administration needs to

The United States should allow the Syrian refugees into the country because we can benefit from it. The intelligence and work strategy of the Syrian refugees can be a great asset to our work field since a lot of Americans are unmotivated and uneducated. In the article Ailing Vermont, it states that “ I saw an opportunity to grow our population, bring in individuals, families with a strong work ethic, who were fleeing for their lives and looking to rebuild their shattered lives.” This evidence from a reliable source informs us that people from Syria have a good work ethic which can benefit us in many positive ways. To conclude, the united states should allow Syrian refugees into the country because they can bring a new and

Four years ago, a civil war erupted in Syria after President Assad’s security forces fired into a group of peaceful protester, killing several of them (Syria), and starting a conflict that has rocked the stability of the world today. Now, as we go into the beginning of 2016, the world faces a refugee crisis unlike any other, and pressure is being put on many of the the world powers to give Syrian refugees a safe haven inside their countries. However, with taking in these refugees comes risk. America has always been a beacon for immigrants of all races and ethnicities for ages, but with the rise of a new terrorist group, with an obvious vendetta against America, the United States is having a difficult time determining whether or not it is safe to let these refugees into the country. Americans are faced with a decision. We can close ranks and turn helpless people away out of fear, leaving them to die or suffer some other unknown horrible fate, or we can put our fear aside and embrace these people with open yet cautious arms.

The first reason the Syrian refugees should be allowed to enter the United States is that America is a multi-cultural country, whose structure are freedom, and equality. The

Throughout American history, immigrants have been entering the country to avoid political corruption and civil rights violations. The United States have been a safe haven for many. According to the articles; The Refugees at Our Door, A Few Other Times Countries Banned Religious or Ethnic Groups and Feds to states: No, you cannot ban Syrian refugees, America has been a home for people seeking asylum. Attempting to ban refugees from entering the country shows how unethical the morals of America has become. America does not have the ethical right to stop the immigration of refugees, however, it is acceptable for Americans to have their reservations as to whether it is safe to accept strangers into their homes.

Out of fifty states, thirty one state Governors said they will not be accepting Syrian refugees into their states. States that will be not letting Syrian refugees in are, Alabama to Georgia, to Texas and Arizona, to Idaho and Indiana. With that said, there will also be States that will be accepting refugees and helping with the relocation. These states are Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Washington. Leaving only twelve states undecided on if they will help relocate and resettle the refugees. Although due to the 1980 refugee act the Federal Government has the power to place refugees anywhere in the country. So a state can’t say it’s legally objecting, but can refuse to cooperate making it very difficult for the Federal Government to do anything. Penn state law Professor Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia says “States play a role in working with the Federal Government when refugees are resettled , but the overarching authority rest in Federal law.

A refugee is defined as an individual who has been forced to leave their country due to political or religious reasons, or due to threat of war or violence. There were 19.5 million refugees worldwide at the end of 2014, 14.4 million under the mandate of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), around 2.9 million more than in 2013. The other 5.1 million Palestinian refugees are registered with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). With the displacement of so many people, it is difficult to find countries willing to accept all the refugees. There are over 125 different countries that currently host refugees, and with this commitment comes the responsibility of ensuring these refugees have access to
