Refugees Vs Syrian Refugees

Refugees are people who are forced to leave their home due to war, or natural disasters and try to start over by fleeing to a new country.Refugees are going through a lot, fleeing their homes, and having their lives turned inside out. For lots of families who are fleeing their country due to war or a natural disaster, it’s hard for them to adapt to their new lifestyle, learning a new language, new education, and bullies. Fleeing to America gives the refugees a fresh start in life, helps them to start over and more opportunities than they had in the country they fled from. “Children of War” “My graduation is next year, so I have to think about college...America is giving us a better future than we could have in Bosnia”(Brice-26).

Jews and Syrian refugees have been through many stages of prejudice and hardships through their lives, but they’ve also received hospitality from others that want to reach out a helping hand. Both articles demonstrate critical ways they're in similar, but also contrasting situations. The striking similarities that both share are how they fled their country to find a new home, looking out for people to help and understand them along with gaining their trust, and getting dragged into ghastly camps just for inspection. Even with similarities comes with distinctive parts for example, what event cause them to leave their homes and what tragic affairs they went through. Going through disastrous times, these people deserve to receive a welcoming invitation and a heart-warming greeting from everyone that can assist these people in every way they can.

Many people are being displaced due to fear of religious, racial, or political persecution, and this is demonstrated through a story about a Sudanese refugee. Nyawet Tut had to flee because, “...soldiers set fire to her village and she had to run for her life with her own five children and five others of relatives killed in the conflict” (Edwards, 2017, para. 8). Many refugees like Tut had to leave their homes and everything behind so they wouldn’t be persecuted for their beliefs. These people represent to mockingbird metaphor because even innocent children are being oppressed because of war. Decades after the novel took place, this metaphor still connects to today’s society and persecution of the innocent. The restriction of refugees entering the US mirrors the killing of a mockingbird. An executive order from US President Donald Trump says, “Deteriorating conditions in certain countries due to war, strife, disaster, and civil unrest increase the likelihood that terrorists will use any means possible to enter the United States” (Trump, 2017 para. 4). This executive order gives some insight into the conditions that refugees are facing. Millions of people are being forced to leave their country due to political, racial, religious persecution as well as the fear of war. This order is saying that due to the possibility of terrorism entering the US through refugees, it is safer to not let them seek sanctuary or asylum in here. While may help

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

Intro: Refugees face a far worse life than most people can imagine, and there is no easy way out for them. They first must get out of whatever dangerous place they are in, then travel long distances with almost no resources, and even if they do make it safely to the USA there is a chance they will be sent back or even put in jail. The refugee experience is defined by risks and belonging.

Destruction, violence, and chaos engulfs the lives of those in the Middle East, specifically in Syria. Since 2011 the country has been in disarray and consumed in a vicious civil war displacing millions of inhabitants of the region. Several countries have offered aid and asylum to these refugees, which raises the question: Should the United States (U.S.), a prominent world leader, allow Syrian refugees to seek asylum in their country? Several articles explore this question, including “Are Syrian Refugees Really a Security Risk? - Harvard Political Review”, “To Defeat ISIS, Know Thy Terrorist; Scorning Syrian refugees is doing ISIS a huge favor”, and “No vetting of Syrian "refugees" in Obama's "resettlement" invasion: the FBI says there is no way to vet incoming refugees and Senate and House chairmen blasted Obama for serious national security risks and economic costs of refugee policy”. The authors of the first and second article, Evan Bonsall and Kurt Eichenwald, argue that the refugees should be allowed asylum, while the author of the third article, William F. Jasper, argues against granting asylum. All of the authors employ complex rhetorical strategies including ethos, pathos, logos and other systems to explain their opinion and target their desired audiences.

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.

Entry." It talks about the Jews' riding the St. Louis. They had so much hope to enter the United States, but they got rejected. They had to go back to Germany and went to concentration camps. During that time, many innocent human beings died and suffered from the camps. The youth being ripped away from their guardians and waiting for the next time they will see them again. This article is mainly talking about the Holocaust and how we are repeating the same actions we did before. The differences that this article is different from another article, "Fresno Family Represents the Plight of Syrian

Immigration laws have resulted in a situation where many illegal immigrants live and work in the United States. Yet, it is an important issue that has been blown out of proportion by the media and politicians. Here in the United States, Syrian refugees have enriched our cultural growth into a more diverse and positive outcome and have enhanced our influence in the World. However, Americans have responded to their arrival with violence and hate towards them.

My initial questions were dealing with the settlement of Syrian refugees, but as I looked into my primary source I noticed that it was dealing with a different ethnic group and different time era, so that shifted my focus from Syrian refugees to the differences between the two groups and differences between the type of treatment each received. Secondly when I looked at the article I was able to identify a difference in the perception of each group of refugees. In the article I was able to see that there was a focus on homeland security and a precaution for a possible terrorist threat. However, in the primary source there was not a focus on homeland security, but rather security and settlement of the Jewish refugee. Lastly, with the third source my focus becomes broader, since the last source focused on various perspectives of refugees in

Looking at the history of the United states of America throughout its economic stages and development, The US was built on the backs of refugees. Going all the way back to the beginning in Americas timeline, you could say that all the pioneers were immigrants to the native Americans from England. Not only that but the salves who built and farmed most of this country came from Africa, not to mention the Chinese who built and did the hardest jobs for prudent pay and died on the railroads, plus the Irish Immigrants who also worked the railroads. The railroads are the biggest reason america is what it is now, and the immigrants made them. the most harm refugees have done to this country is the commotion caused by its originally immigrant

Two articles about refugees are similar and different in many ways. The first article by the Associated Press, talks about the similarities and differences between the Holocaust and today's time. A Jew who experienced the Holocaust as a young boy, says that he sees the similarities between his experience and those fleeing Syria, but it isn't the same. The second article by the Fresno Bee, talks about a Syrian family who fled their country due to violence. It also talks about the millions of people displaced by Syrian conflict.

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?

Considering that our current government is trying to keep out other countries from entering our country (immigrants and refugees) because of fear of who is entering only puts those people in a position in which they can loose their lives. No, there is no situation that is exactly like the holocaust but there is countries who are executing their own people for their believes. In The New York Times, Trump states “closed the nation’s borders to refugees from around the world” and “temporarily suspending immigration from several predominantly Muslim countries.” Yes, there needs to be precautions when letting people from other countries in, especially those who are at war with the United States. When the Jews were liberated they were inspected

Since 2011, Syria has been engaged in a Civil War with protestors against the government and members of the extremist group ISIS, and approximately 7.6 million people have been displaced from their homes (usnews.com 2015). As the conflict destroys more homes and livelihoods each year, an increasing number of civilians have been forced to leave Syria and try to find safety elsewhere. Already a contentious issue, the Syrian refugee crisis has awakened tensions, both economic and social as debate erupts over what to do with the refugees.In response to the crisis, while some countries like Germany have pledged to help the refugees, (New Statesman 2015 1) only 2,340 have been admitted. Clearly, more needs to be done in order to help the refugees. Although there are economic and population concerns to be considered, the humanitarian conflict that faces the refugees and solutions already available are reason enough for Europe to increase the numbers of Syrian refugees allowed in.
