Refugee Crisis : The United States

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

Should america let refugees in the us. I think that refugees should not be allowed in the usa and they should be kicked out of the us because nearly 44% of america are non english speakers that used to be18% so non english speakers are slowly over powering us americans and they will soon kick us out of our country we should kick them out and keep them out for america's sake.

Refugees are individuals that are being forced to flee from their country of citizenship to another in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. Western society tends to be judgmental towards people who do not look like their own and so it is very difficult for different cultures to be treated fairly. Recently, President Trump implemented a law that band Muslims, due to the stereotypically classifying them as terrorists. Muslims are being classified as others and treated very poorly due to their religious beliefs and instead, that should not be the case. In the media, Muslims are also portrayed poorly and they are seen as individuals coming to America to take over the country, when in fact they are just regular individuals seeking

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

Why should the United States not accept Syrian refugees? Not every Syrian is a terrorist, most of them really need help. Because of the civil war in Syria, a major genocide is happening. People are leaving their homes for a better life where they can be safe and economically stable. I think that the United States should accept Syrian refugees in because they have been dealing with inequality, they also have a good work ethic that at a lot of Americans do not have which can benefit the country, and the United States is a country where a lot of people migrate so why not let the Syrian refugees in since they need to.

We should take in more Syrian refugees because they can boost our economy. Many of the Syrian refugees will earn low pay here in the United States but an influx of lower skilled workers could actually help Americans with less skills. More people equals more production, which means more jobs to meet the demand of production. Also because these workers will have different skills than most Americans, they won’t compete much with Americans buy may actually complement us (Nowrasteh). The refugees will even be able to pay taxes, giving a slight break on small communities. Examples of refugees’ positive effect on the economy are all around us like in Turkey, were the Turkish government has spent roughly $5.72 billion to feed and shelter Syrian refugees, who number 2.2 million in the country. But despite the apparent economic

The U.S. should let Syrian refugees in the United States to settle, but only a select few. According to Elizabeth McBride, a writer for NBC.com, Razan is a mom of a family of four from Damascus. Her family left after their youngest son, Ibrahim, witnessed his father getting killed in a protest against the Syrian government. Looking at this example, it becomes clear that some Syrians

In today’s society where most of us are sheltered physically and emotionally, have we ever stopped to think about the unfortunate ones who have been forced to live their lives differently? We are often carried away with basking in our riches that we forget to take a moment to think for those who aren’t as lucky as us. What else can we call those who have nowhere to go and nothing to do— no place to call home, no job to call an occupation, no purpose to speak of? With more people being forced out of their homelands to seek greener grass on the other side, refugee rates are on a constant rise.

Since 2011, more than 250,000 people have been killed in the Syrian civil war. Millions of other Syrians are searching for a secure home. America could provide a home to these Syrians if they were well prepared and funded. Taking in Syrian refugees would have no help to Syria, be dangerous for American citizens and be an extremely ignorant move, considering we are not prepared for almost 50,000 refugees. Syrian refugees should not be allowed into America.

Syrian refugees crossing the border is currently the headline of every news station. If allowed into America, every human life could be affected. Syrian refugees should not be allowed to enter into the United States because the threat they pose is greater than the advantage America could give them. America has a high homeless rate which will never be resolved if the refugees are welcomed in. Allowing refugees across the border could result in an outbreak of war.

Taking in refugees from countries in a crisis is a basic humanitarian act. I have witnessed this first hand with my dad mentoring a refugee from South Sudan and helping him get on his feet, and now he is extremely successful. The difference from twenty years ago when the Sudanese were refugees today is that there is the risk of safety. In the Middle East, especially Syria, there is no way to be able to verify that the refugees are just civilians and have no hatred for the U.S. Until there is a way to totally be able to verify that the refugees are totally risk free it is not worth the risk of taking them. We has a country has to learn from what is happening in Europe because of the sheer number of refugees that were allowed into their countries. It would be silly to make the same mistakes and risk having the similar outcome of repeated terror attacks, and whole groups of people choosing not to assimilate to Western culture. While Syria is in a humanitarian crisis and they need help, the safety of the United States and its people is the most important thing and cannot be risked. The only evidence needed is that in Europe where there are terrorist attacks almost every single

According to a poll over 48% of Americans support the ban on refugees, whereas 42% do not (Nearly Half of American Voters Support Trump’s Immigration Order). As can be seen, many Americans believe that refugees pose a threat to the American way of life in one way or another. Refugee discrimination can be seen across the United States, it is not made up. Unfortunately, this is caused by a tragic past and background influenced by only a few individual terrorists.This is worsened by the urgent crisis of refugees. Refugees, some extremely unlucky people, are displaced across the world (Appositive). Many Americans are against the idea of letting new people into the country for fear of these attacks,

The challenges the refugees had to face included the complications of their pasts, and how wars in their home countries altered their lives. From the wars, members of families were scattered not only through America, but through the world from displacement and resettlement. Other family members were shot or killed, sometimes in front of the refugees. “...Luma expressed frustration that a young Liberian player seemed to suddenly zone out during play. Another Liberian who knew the boy told her she didn’t understand: the boy was forced by soldiers to shoot a close friend,” (John 58). In some cases, people were thrown into jail for no reason, or without proof of wrongdoing. Paula Belegarmire’s husband was fallaciously taken from his home and jailed

Refugees from the Middle East desperately try to survive the wars occurring in their country. Their only options are to stay there, to locate to a refugee camp where the living conditions are horrific, or to resettle in another safe country. Many of the refugees long for the latter. Some countries accept them, and some do not. America is one of the countries that is in between; it accepts a limited amount of refugees because of the immigration laws that are applied. It needs to be

Internally displaced persons are people who are forced to leave their homes due to violations of human rights and or human-made disasters. These people are allowed to return home whenever the circumstances that forced them to leave cease to remain. A refugee is a person who is forced to leave their country and their home they currently reside in due to a war or persecution. They are not likely to ever return home. Refugees are arriving in Europe right now trying to escape wars and troubles. This is due to the four-and-a-half-year-old war in Syria, which is 39% of the reason why refugees are making their way to Europe for safety. The war with the Taliban rebels is 11% of the reason why the refugees had to evacuate. The Eritreans are being forced
