Their negative aspects may be felt long after a refugee problem is solved. For example, the damage to environment is a process and does not end with the homecoming of refugees. While the international emergency aid in response to such an emergency does have some positive effects on the host society, this hardly compensates for the negative consequences of such large number of
A refugee is a person who was forced to leave their country. Whether it be from warfare or natural disaster, their homes are no longer safe to live in, so they need to relocate elsewhere. Once someone sets foot on the journey of becoming a refugee, they become vulnerable and dependent with no sense of what the future will bring. In an attempt to accommodate them, first world countries with the resources necessary to assist these refugees, are struggling to determine whether or not they should step-in and help. Some argue that taking them in could come with excessive consequences, while others believe they could be assets. Although there may be a few consequences, they are outweighed by the benefits and undeniable severity of the situation.
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.
Refugees, like Ha, came across many challenges on their journey, It was a traumatic experience for all, people lost their homes, friends, family and their lives. An example from the book inside out and back again say,“head whirls breath stinks for days.”(Lia)They don't have the resources to be clean and that's not the their biggest priority.

A quote from the article Refugees Who, where, why says,“Three civilians were killed three others are wounded last night when an explosion ripped through a crowded food market.”(Gevert) You always need to be aware of your
First, one of the strongest economic arguments in favor of taking in refugees is that it worked on numerous occasions. Between 1979 and 1981, after the Communist victory in the Vietnam War, Canada took in some 60,000 Vietnamese boat people. The Vietnamese boat people arrived with little English or French, no assets and inappropriate job skills for Canada’s economy. But within a decade of their arrival, the former boat people had an unemployment rate 2.3 percentage points lower than Canada, and relied less heavily on social assistance than the general population. One in five had started their own business. They are now a thriving community full of doctors, lawyers, and teachers. Economic benefits to be had from the arrival of refugees from a country known for its relatively skilled workforce. Additionally, take look at Cumberland County as an example of just how well the refugee resettlement process has worked. Through the efforts of the sponsors, other community

In the article “Illegal Immigrants Do Not Harm America's Economy” the authors, Brian, Grow, et al used issues to portray current illegal circumstances in American, the situations which demonstrated the necessity of undocumented aliens. Although, the articles lacks of evidence from the other side, but it had a well organized structure and logical supporting evidence; however, the writers did create a remarkable view at the illegal refugees’ benefits on the economy for the others.
The United States is known to have the largest immigration population in the world. There are often three reasons for immigrants coming to the United States. One reason is to take advantage of superior economic opportunities. Another reason could be to escape political or religious oppression that may be occurring in their home countries. A third reason could be to reunite with family members who are already in the United States. Since there are individuals of other nations coming to the United States to live and find workable jobs, the American economy is being effected. Although these effects occur, it does not mean that they are bad or good. These effects just come naturally due to immigration. This paper will examine three effects that
Immigration has become an alarming concern to the global development over the past decade. Most of the developing countries have been the center for the rising cases of the immigration in most parts of the world. It is because of the conflicts among these nations that make individuals move to other foreign states in search of peace, jobs and the hopes of having a good life (Gross 33). Nevertheless, there has been an upsurge in the campaign against the immigration in the developed countries. The continuous struggle of these immigrants’ control has increased due to the threats arising to the locals and the nations hosting them. That is why it is important to understand the economic, cultural and the social

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.
Environmental deterioration can leave people as "environmental refugees"—people who are displaced due to environmental degradation, including deforestation, sea-level rise, expanding deserts, and catastrophic weather events.
