Speech About Refugees

Throughout the world, there is an estimate of about 65.3 million refugees that have either been forced out of their homes or chose to willingly escape the violence or corruption they faced in their homeland. Of those millions of people, only a small percentage are given the status of refugee as many nations have strict requirements and only allow a specific amount each year. This leads to an increase in the amount of illegal immigration as many are desperate to risk their lives to for a better one then they had back home. Even as refugees are given asylum, many often face difficulties such as discrimination due to the racial stereotypes that exist as a result of negative depictions in the news and media. Although nations have generally become more open to receiving and providing aid for a significant amount of refugees seeking asylum, people’s ideology of race and the misrepresentation of the media towards immigrants prevent an even larger amount of refugees from being accepted into society.

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 started because of war and economic problems in their countries that force them out of their homes, and rob their children of having an educated life. Refugees tend to stay in refugee camps, but while staying in camps, they don’t have any job opportunities which makes it extremely hard to care for a family with zero income. In order to leave the camps for jobs, an education, and housing, their relatives have to get them and bring them to their country. All refugees that would like to leave the camp must have a visa.

Refugees are people who are fleeing violence and/or persecution and are looking for safety. Refugees are driven from their homes and communities by

I will start my presentation with a depiction of what legal and illegal immigration encompass. After, I will talk about the impacts of immigration on America. I will finalize my presentation with the current government actions that are changing the immigration system.

This essay explores how unaccompanied asylum seeking children (UASC) are oppressed in the UK. An unaccompanied asylum seeking child is a person under the age of eighteen who has left their country of origin in order to seek refuge and is ‘separated from both parents and are not being cared for by an adult who, by law or custom has responsibility to do so’ (UNHCR, 1994:121). They are therefore applying for asylum in their own right.

Commentary 1: Refugees areal deadly facing an awful life and a tough screening process, but even after it is all over their lives will still be far worse than ours. They will be disrespected and have trouble socially fitting into this new

Ross argues that “The willingness of every country around the world to permanently accept and assist refugees can help to reduce the number of people living in conditions unfit for human beings.”

Good morning sir and fellow students today I'm going to be discussing the concept of not belonging in ‘‘Migrant Hostel’’ by Peter Skrzynecki also going discussing the concept belonging in ‘‘Neighbours’’ by Tim Winton.

For some it is an economic decision: for others, reflection of their politics. For an increasing number of displaced persons, the reasons are safety, either from war and violence or from environmental dangers. Someone is an economic migrant who chooses to leave his or her home in search of better economic opportunities or refugee fleeing war and persecution is not always a clear distinction.

Immediately, the comment section on every refugee news article on Facebook played out in my mind. There is always that argument by those anti-refugees that they will exploit taxpayer’s money. The systematic inequality that refugees face is designed to put them in this tough predicament. Finally, in my opinion, prisons are meant to punish criminals, not punish those leaving a life of hardship and war.

Over the past couple years, the refugee crisis has gotten worse, but is this something Australia should be a part of? It might be hard but is it worth it in the end? Should Australia have a part in this and if whether the anti-immigration laws should be prohibited? In this speech, I will be discussing a range of diverse opinions and reasons on this subject. What I will be addressing will be the current problems of migration, Australia’s laws of migration

is a derogatory term given to asylum seekers who arrive in Australia by boat, without obtaining a valid visa or other form of authorisation such as a passport. Most people arriving by boats are facing desperate and life threatening situations in their country of origin, and fear a form of persecution such as torture, murder and imprisonment. These people are often so desperate to flee their corrupt or dangerous countries that they risk their lives to travel to Australia by boat. They endure appalling conditions by the smugglers who often take away any or all forms of documentation. If the boat people refuse these terms than they will most probably be abused, shot or killed. Despite all of these reasons, people decide that these conditions are

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?

Let’s start by defining what it is to be a refugee. A refugee is any citizen of a nation who is forced to flee due to persecution or unsafe living conditions.
