When enacting policies toward asylum seekers and refugees, countries always examine the impact of the economic burden that an influx of vulnerable people is going to have on the country. Accepting refuges requires to government of the asylum country to provide access to housing, welfare, healthcare and education to the new immigrants. Access to career services is also required in order for the new immigrants to receive training and certification needed for them to get employed. However, all these services cause an economic strain in the lives of citizens of asylum countries that is reflected in their taxes. In order to minimize the burden, many countries enact laws that decrease the access to social rights and educational institutions.

In ‘Refugees Who Could Be Us’ Nicholas Kristof (2015) is an article published in the New York Times that discusses the deficiency of leading world countries in response the on-going Refugee influx that Europe is facing. First, the author explains the ineffective strategies carried out by world leaders in order to stop the on-going Syrian war and stresses on the lack of attention given to the Syrian War. Second, he demonstrates the Xenophobia that is common in European and Arabic citizens has made the stigmatization of refugees easier; consequently, many of the refugees were not accepted into Europe and their trips to safety became much harder. Third, Kristof argues that the most reasonable solution would be to create a safe-zone back in Refugees’

Refugees when someone has left their country because of a conflict in their country or they are forced to leave because of constant wars, starvation and group mistreated. Immigration is when you leave your country and go to a different one and live there because of rough conditions like corrupt leader or many wars that won't stop or have been going on for a long time. Refugees on the other hand have to flee to camps and can't go to another county because it's just as corrupt or the war has been there or will soon be arriving at that destination. When immigrants arrive in a country they steal people's jobs that are easy and not as complicated because also want to make a living of their own but can't because they are illegal in the country.Refugees

UNHCR (2015) records that 2015 saw the highest number of displaced people seeking refugee and asylum seekers in different countries. Whereas many European nations have been considerate enough to open the borders for these unfortunate people, Australia has remained very passive responding to the world refugee crisis.

What is one story of a young migrant or refugee that you heard? Are there any ways the story opened your eyes?

The situation present migrant situation in Europe is concerning to say the least, thousands, if not to say millions of immigrants cross European frontiers illegally every day, causing not only legal problems for themselves, but also injuries and death.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of families are forcibly removed from their homes because they’re unable to pay their rent or mortgage. Their entire family is uprooted and forced to give up all they know because of a few missed payments. They’re forced to go stay with a friend or sometimes even forced to live in some kind of shelter that will help them through these times. How do you think that family feels? Now imagine that on a greater scale. Hundreds maybe even thousands of people being forced out of their country due to a war, or some kind of racial discrimination. These people who suffer this are called refugees. Refugees were defined by the United Nations to be people who are not considered as nationals by any state under the operation of its law. They have almost no rights, and due to this, they are also often treated very poorly. Though it is possible for them to move and travel, they have no chance of acquiring citizenship into any country. Refugees have been displaced from their home due to racial discrimination, war tribulations, or for the sake of their own safety. The displacement of refugees is an issue dating back to before WWII. Before the second world war, statelessness referred mainly to the status of the inhabitants of conquered territories because they no longer had a place to which they truly belonged. For example, many Jews became stateless before and during the Holocaust, because the Nuremberg laws stripped them of their German

This report will explain about refugee’s issues of placement and cultural differences and the capacity of countries adopting refugees. Refugees in any country confront difficulties either relating to placement or cultural differences problems. Every day refugees move to another place for their protection. That’s why; most of the countries were opening their boarder to welcome them in their own countries. But now the situation is different because some of the countries are not able to adopting them anymore due to not having enough spaces, like Germany. On the other side, Australia has lot of space to adapting to refugees, but having some problem with culturally differences and avoiding for entering terrorists. Australia is also multicultural land with a rich combination of cultures, religions, languages and ethnicities. Commonwealth bank and state levels has built-up multicultural strategy structure for all kinds of nations which main aim to concentrate on the needs of refugees and migrants who settle in Australia. However, the acquaintance from multicultural policies and migrant segment has not essentially been included into child safety practices, policy frameworks and legislations.

Baumgartner et al., also argue that the death penalty policies are extremely vulnerable to public opinions. Throughout their book, they frequently mention how small changes in perceptions and attitudes can lead to drastic changes in actions and behaviours. Because the death penalty can be one of the issues that behave as a deal breaker in presidential or political campaigns, politicians are careful to make a stance that does not agree with the public.

Imagine this... Waking up everyday in a cold tin shed, a storage shed or an abandoned chicken coop. No windows. Limited running water. Clothing as blankets and pillows. No heating. Everyone in the same boat. Everyone struggling for safety. Everyone hoping for peace. Imagine having no choice but to find shelter wherever it may be available for the night. This is the global refugee crisis. According to Dictionary.com, the refugee crisis refers to the movements of large groups of displaced people. Displaced meaning they have left their home, their live, their family and friends behind.

I learned of the movement by reading about the refugee crisis online. Another way I learned about the movement was seeing news coverage surrounding the refugee crisis and people boarding boats in treacherous waters desperately trying to escape their home countries. Media and other forms of representation played an essential role in covering the refugee crisis movement. Depending on the news outlet I often saw how different political ideologies infiltrated the facts about the movement. From my viewpoint I believe that there is a target market for the campaign. The movement seems to be appealing to a wide range of groups. The campaign appeals to most age groups, it calls for people to get involved for all different ages. There seems to be one geographical region that has been particular called upon to help the movement. The geographical region that seems to be targeted the most is countries in the Mediterranean area. This seems to be true because that area is a central location that many of the refugees have some, but difficult time accessing. I feel as if the movement is asking me to do several things. For instances, the movement is asking me to lay down prior prejudices I may have had and to be more empathetic to the human suffering that is taking place in the refugee crisis. Another thing that I feel that the movement is asking me to do is to have “open arms” to refugees in whatever compacity that I am able. I have partially been able to do what the movement is asking me to

Although the refugee identity partly conserved itself, new tragedies dominated the society of Greece. Similar tendencies of refugee population till this moment divaricated with new conditions. Although many refugees joined to ELAS which was left partisan groups against occupation and played fundamental roles, some refugees collaborate with Axis powers or in Civil War they chose the government side against leftists.
