Refugee Rates In The United States

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

Guilt that derives from the fact our country is not doing more to aide in the refugee crisis. Likewise, this article provokes me to ask the question: why are these images not shown more often in western media? I feel that currently our media is cluttered with useless information regarding inherently trivial stories, none of which compare to the struggles of not only children, but also millions of people. The refugee problem is currently one that I feel is ignored by many for various reasons. However, this article brings to light the horrors that are currently occurring and I feel it should be seen by more people, as the lives of refugees are no less than our own. Even though politicians make out refugees, and even immigrants, to be murderous extremists, the reality is most are nonviolent, normal families seeking a home, something often taken for granted by those in western cultures. The Syrian refugee crisis is, in my opinion, the most overlooked problem in recent history, and demonstrates in inherent issue in our society- we as a culture view these lives as less than our own. Overall, I feel this article does a thorough job of emotionally evoking readers and impacting their views on Syrian refugees and the lives they are forced to

Currently there are more than 16 million refugees worldwide and this number is certain to grow considering the violence plaguing the Middle East. The United States has the largest resettlement program in the world in in 2013 accepted 66,000 of the 98,000 refugees who

I think that the refugee crisis is very complicated. There are several factors that go into the idea of the US admitting more refugees. With the current terrorist threats, the bombing in Paris, the Minnesota mall attack, and the recent bombing in NYC (not yet confirmed if it is related to ISIS) the idea of letting more people into the US is hard to agree to. In addition, the US is struggling with the idea of immigration from Mexico, even though it has decreased.

The world is currently facing the highest human displacement levels ever recorded (UNHCR 0). According to data recorded by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), an astonishing 65.6 million (UNHCR 1) people around the world have been forced from their homes. This number includes 22.5 million refugees (UNHCR 1). In facing this so-called “refugee crisis,” it’s critical to understand important definitions. A refugee is legally defined as someone who has been externally displaced from and cannot return to their host country due to a “well-founded fear of persecution” (Refugees in international relations, p.5). In vernacular terms, refugees are often identified as people who are escaping “authoritarian regimes; conflict; human rights violations; large-scale

There is a plethora of humanitarian and moral reasons for the United States of America to allow more Syrian refugees to seek resettlement here. The United States has resettled millions of refugees from all over the world, but all too often its humanitarian instinct has been hindered by paranoia and fear. This refugee crisis has been the worst since the Second World War as well as producing some of the same rhetoric about refugees as the postwar period. In my opinion, the United States, the most powerful country in the world, should accept this state of affairs and be a role model to the rest of the world. The pros of accepting refugees will greater weigh out the cons in the end.

The purpose of this section is to identify and explain the factors that may influence the lack of cultural orientation in the refugee and immigrant population. To understand these factors it is imperative to define the refugee and immigrant. A refugee is an individual that has been forced to flee his or her country due to the fear of persecution or violence in their country. An immigrant, however, is an individual who chooses to settle in another country (Segal, U. A., & Mayadas, N. S., 2005, p. 564).It is important to note that although refugees are referred to as immigrants after one year of their arrival, the difference between these two individuals varies among their impetus for resettlement in addition to their experiences. During resettlement,

There are currently about four million Syrian refugees. Lebanon, UNHCR has recorded 858,641 refugees by December 31, 2013 with numbers thought

While the death count in Syria continues to rise, many civilians have decided to leave their homeland in order to seek safety and a freshly, modernized, and invigorating life within other countries. However, the millions of Syrian refugees fleeing from their country have difficulty finding a safe haven due to the weariness stigma from the majority of the general populace of the first world countries viewing refugees as alien bodies who are pillaging through first world nations, looking for handouts, and consuming all of the precious resources abundantly available to the masses is predominately apparent in the lives of the fortunate. Even though these Syrian refugees are in dire need of aid, they appear as faceless bodies to many other countries and therefore easily turned away. As a result of being unable to meet the needs of these populations, many of the Syrian refugees are either clusters of internally or internationally displaced populations seeking asylum in rundown educational buildings, ill-equipped camps, improper rental houses (Bashour). However, upon further inspection of the living conditions and trauma these refugees undertake for themselves, there are several reasons to warrant these notions of worry. For one, the most comprehensible reason would stem from an empathetic and humanitarian approach in which individuals stationed in countries which are experiencing times of peace may lend a hand to another human being who is not as fortunate because given a

“With 1 human in every 113 affected, forced displacement hits record, …24 per min” (UNHCR, 2016). According to United Nations, "A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war, or violence. A refugee has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group" (UNHCR-US, n. d.). Statistics of UNHCR in 2015 shows 21.3 million refugees worldwide. Also, 3.2 million asylum-seekers and 40.8 million internally displaced people (IDP) are supported by United Nations in 125 countries. These higher numbers comparing to 2014 are due to the global rise of conflicts and war, and lower support of affected individuals by their governments. The shocking number belongs to children who constitute 51 percent of the refugee population, and 98,400 asylum-seeker children who are either separated from their parents or unaccompanied (UNHCR-CA, 2016).

There are different types of refugees. There are climate refugees who had to leave because of the severe weather in their area, there are economic refugees who were forced to leave as result of no jobs or ways to gain income, there are religious refugees who had to flee from there country because they were persecuted for what they believed in, there are political refugees who had to leave because of their opinion of the politics in their country. There are war refugees who fled their country because of the ongoing wars in that country. There are refugees who had to flee from their country because of too many natural disasters in that country.

According to UNHCR (2017a), there are, currently, 22.5 million of refugees in the world. Comparing to the world population reported in United Nations (2017), it can be calculated as three refugees in every 1,000 people. Nowadays, most of the people who have escaped from their own countries are Syrian. Since 2011, the beginning of Syrian civil war, total registered Syrian refugees are 17.5 million people (UNHCR, 2017b). From the UNHCR database, most of them are living in neighbouring countries such as Lebanon and Turkey. Some of them seek asylum in developed countries, particularly in Europe. Germany is the European country that holds the largest Syrian refugee population, accounting for approximately 0.8 million (UNHCR, 2017b). The large population of refugee can affect to economy, environment, society, and politics. Some people say that new coming refugees can fulfil labour market and establish the multicultural societies which motivate international trade. However, the host nations will not benefit from refugees due to the needs of high cost of management for labour force preparation and risk of social conflict caused by cultural difference.
