Should The United States Allow Syrian Refugees

Walter Kirn, an American novelist and literary critic, stated that ‘‘Everyone loves a witch hunt as long as it’s someone else’s witch being hunted.’’ (Web. Walter Kirn Quote) Although the Salem Witch Trials took place over 300 years ago, in 1692, and we claim that we have come a long way since then, the truth is we have not. The hysteria that took place during the witch trials occurred because people refused to take responsibility for their actions. The same thing is happening in modern day America due to a 4 year long civil war, in Syria, and a mounting war on terrorism, in the United States. Syrians are fleeing their country because of the impending civil war, of 4 years, between those loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and those who oppose him, the rebels. Accepting refugees from war torn countries has always been something the United States has done, even if it caused some controversy. However, there has never been more controversy on whether or not to accept refugees from Syria. This is because of the terrorist groups in Syria who have continued to execute fatal attacks on Westernized countries, specifically the United States. A number of U.S. citizens do not want to accept Syrian refugees for fear that some refugees could pose potential threats or have relations with the terrorist group, ISIS.

The debate about letting Syrian Refugees into America has been a heavily debated topic in the last year. One surprising fact is that, ‘The third largest city in the country of Jordan, Za’atari is just a refugee camp filled with Syrians escaping the Syrian Civil War and the population of Za’atari of 90,000.’ Syrians should be let into our county because: we have been letting Syrian Refugees into our country a very few have been of them have been radicalized and carried out terrorist attacks on our country, U.S. states cannot legally reject and deport Syrian Refugees coming here to seek refuge without the approval of the federal government, and not all the Syrian Refugees fit the supposedly true stereotypes

A couple months ago, 2017 arrived and brought controversial topics and arguments. Some of these political disagreements are about the 2016 election and the current president of the United States, Donald Trump. President Trump has already made executive orders in his time in office. One executive order was to tighten the vetting of immigrants and visitors and ban the refugees who want to settle in the United States. This order ignited protests and riots among some groups of people who were and are still upset and want to help others who are escaping their country and coming to the U.S. to seek safety. The United States should allow refugees into its county. Allowing refugees into the United States has worked before; it is difficult to come into the U.S. as a refugee, and it is humane to help others.

“We live on a blue planet that circles around a ball of fire next to the moon that moves the sea, and you don't believe in miracles?” Refugees believe in miracles to give them a better life. They know that good thing can happen to them so they believe in miracles to do just that. A refugee is a person who has been displaced from their home, many from war or a natural disaster. Most refugees seek shelter from camps, but not all. The main problem that a refugee has is they have no place to go, many countries take in refugees but most do not get to have that chance. The United states of America takes in refugees but still, it is not enough. In 2017 we should aim to take in at least one or two more thousand refugees than we have in the past years. If the United States of America were to take in more refugees we would be in a win-win situation. While others may say taking in refugees is too risky, The United States should take in more refugees because not only would the refugees be benefitting from this situation we would be too.

With the recent events around the world involving a terror group named ISIS, many have been affected. In Paris, many were killed during a concert which struck terror around the world. A total of 129 people perished and hundreds were wounded. Millions of Syrian refugees have been trying to escape and come to the United States for their own personal safety. Over the past 4 years, over 2000 refugees have been allowed into the country. In an attempt to increase the safety of the refugees, the U.S. has pledged to allow 10,000 more Syrians over the next year. It has become a controversial topic because citizens of the United States believe letting in the refugees is a mistake. Some incredulous citizens believe letting in refugees will cause more

According to Fox news,Obama administration officials plan to bring in about 10,000 refugees over the next year. This will give them a safe place to stay, a chance to get back on their feet, a chance to get a job, will allow them to get healthcare, an education, and any other other commodities the refugees could possibly need. But, every person has another side. In France, in November of 2015, the ISIS bombers were identified as refugees that had fled to escape the war. As they had started to live in France,they joined ISIS, and were undercover. Letting people into your country without thinking about it gives them a chance to be a threat. Some countries are letting refugees’ records slide so they can start a now life. CNN news says that 31 U.S. governors are not accepting Syrian refugees.Overall, it is the wrong choice to let refugees into your

The refugee crisis is nothing new to America and throughout the world, it's been a problem for many years and it's solution has long been sought out. But what is the “real” solution for the estimated 13.5 million Syrian refugees seeking a place where civil war and persecution don’t lie at their front doorstep? Is the answer to simply just limit the number of refugees allowed to enter the U.S or to travel ban the countries from which these refugees are coming until things start to simmer down like Donald Trump seems to believe? Is it allow more of these refugees to enter America? Or is the actual solution to solve the crisis at the cause rather than the effects?

After facing the unfortunate and tragic terrorist attacks in Paris. The main question is, should the United States take and accept the 10,000 Syrian refugees? I highly believe that we should accept the 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States. President Obama has urged the U.S to welcome these refugees, I think that letting the refugees come into the state will not decrease the safety of the U.S and will definitely not bring us in possible danger. This is a question of human rights, I believe all humans deserve the right to live without the constant threat of death. This should not be an issue and we should accept all people with open arms. The decision to eliminate the acceptance of the refugees is very controversial, and if the U.S was to accept the migrants I think they should be taken to a certain

Due to recent events in Paris there has been a lot of talk about Syrian refugees, and if they should be allowed in the United States. I think that Syrian refugees should be allowed in the United States. These refugees are coming from a horrible situations and should be helped because if they stay in Syria then they risk getting killed. They also can’t stay in Europe or the middle east because there are too many refugees to be taken in. With 4 million people already displaced, it has created an immigrant crisis in Europe.

Should we do nothing for the people who are facing life or death situation for reasons they are not part of? Isn’t it the responsibility of the world to help civilians of a country who are suffering so much due to terrorism? Should not the USA, being world’s leading economy and power, accept Syrian refugees who are suffering, dying and separating from their dearest ones for reasons futile to themselves? Yes indeed, the whole world, its people, and the USA should help, support, and accept Syrian refugees. The United States should admit Syrian refuges because doing so will further solidify its image as an anti-terrorist country, not all Syrian refugees are terrorists, and most of all it will help cut out the human resources that terrorist are exploiting.

Currently, there is a huge debate on if the U.S. should offer Syrian refugees to move in. One of the huge reasons they are doing a huge migration and refugee movement is because of Syrian’s living conditions. An estimated 9 million Syrians have fled their homes since the outbreak of civil war in March 2011, taking refuge in neighboring countries or within Syria itself. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, over three million have fled to Syria's neighbors Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq.

As shown above, refugees have very good reason for fleeing, but that doesn’t fully answer the question of why countries such as the United States of America should help them. There are many moral reasons why first world countries such as the United States of America who can handle accepting and supporting these refugees should do so. The first and most important reason why is imply that by doing so, the United States of America would be saving the refugees lives. In Syria there is a high chance that they will die, and it is also likely that they will die on the grueling trip away from Syria. Being accepted into first world countries like the United States of America is likely one of the only things that can save them. Some will argue that this

Some Americans believe that refugees should be accepted with open arms, and that it is the practical thing to do. Others, believe that by accepting refugees into America, it puts us at great risk for terrorist activities. On 1980, the Refugee act as implemented. A refugee is a person who was forced to leave their country of origin due to fleeing from war, persecution, or any other types of violence taking place. Some of these might be due to the confrontations of political parties, race, or religion. This law was put into place as an agreement to provide residential services and admissions into the United States for those fleeing from their countries. Refugees were granted many provisions upon entering the United States such as Cash Assistance, Trainings to learn the English Language, Employment, etc. Some of the refugee groups who were part of this act during the 1980’s were middle eastern, and Vietnamese, and

In the past, we’ve accepted more than 800,000 Southeastern Asians as refugees after the Vietnam War, around 100,000 from the Iraq War, and thousands more from different countries and of different ethnicity. What’s so different about these Syrian refugees? They are leaving their homes seeking for a resettlement and a new life which is practically the same as the other refugees. The only variation is in their religious beliefs. The US is known for democratic, liberal, and egalitarian society. Denying the entry of the refugees will adulterate that

The uprising in Syria started in March 2011 and has quickly turned into a full-scale civil war. According to the United Nations, there’s an estimated more than 250,000 people have been killed throughout the revolution(Robins-Early). In addition, more than 4.2 millions of Syrian have become refugees according to the UNHCR. Since 2011, only 1500 Syrian refugees have been accepted into the United States. However, in early September, President Obama’s administration had announced that there will be at least 10,000 refugees entering the next year(Yan). The debate on whether Syrian refugees should be allowed to enter the U.S. is intensifying, although some people have said that it is not moral to refused refugees’ entering, many people have argued against it due to the safety concerns over the screening process, the panic and tensions that would create which lend to more xenophobic prejudices towards Muslims.
