Syrian Refugees In The United States

People all over the world have been asking themselves if it is right for their country to let in refugees from Syria. It is a question everybody fears from answering because of the consequences it may take. Several states in America have denied the entry because of security reasons and the over population. Even if there are several countries still refusing Syrians there are a few who are accepting them. Looking at some articles, I’ve seen differential opinions and one must read and understand why Syria refugees need a chance to be rescued from all the chaos and horror they’ve been through.

According to The Economist “If a potential terrorist is determined to enter America to do harm, there are easier and faster ways to get there than by going through the complex refugee resettlement process” (B.B.V.). Clearly terrorists can find quicker ways into our country other than posing as refugees. Terrorists who want to inflict true terror on their victims would use a quick and reliable means. Fear of terrorists does not make us refuse the Syrians; instead we have stepped back and looked at the effect these refugees would have on our

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.

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

Terrorist, sleeper cells and undeserving; these are all adjectives that Americans have used to describe Syrian refugees. This type of bigotry is an issue that must be addressed. In light of the recent attack on Paris, there has been a dramatic shift to block President Obama’s plan to bring 10,000 additional refugees into the United States. Imagine that, a nation of immigrants blocking other immigrants from entering. In order to gain this kind of overwhelming support for such a bill, propagandists have used countless personal attacks on an entire race and claim that it is in the name of national security. Rather than lock down the borders, the United States should take California’s model for vetting refugees and make it the federal

Many U.S. citizens have no problem with Syrian refugees coming to America. According to both “Why America Could-and Should-Admit More Syrian Refugees.” and “Our Responsibility to Refugees”, The authors feel that The people of the United States are turning their backs on the refugees. In “Why America Could-and Should-Admit More Syrian Refugees.” the author says, “The United States has resettled over three million refugees, offering victims of persecution and conflict the opportunity to build a new life. Refugee resettlement is unequivocally safe. It would be wrong, both morally and politically, to curtail Syrian refugee resettlement, and why it is in fact both ethically imperative and politically expedient to instead expand U.S. commitment to refugee resettlement” (Long). This author sees nothing to fear from refugees. Furthermore, the writer of “Our Responsibility to Refugees” states, “The U.S. can do more and we must. Since 2011, more than 4.2 million Syrians have been displaced by war and violence, and fewer than 3,000 of them have resettled in the U.S. President Barack Obama has committed to resettling 10,000 Syrian refugees in the U.S. His administration needs to

Why should the United States not accept Syrian refugees? Not every Syrian is a terrorist, most of them really need help. Because of the civil war in Syria, a major genocide is happening. People are leaving their homes for a better life where they can be safe and economically stable. I think that the United States should accept Syrian refugees in because they have been dealing with inequality, they also have a good work ethic that at a lot of Americans do not have which can benefit the country, and the United States is a country where a lot of people migrate so why not let the Syrian refugees in since they need to.

These Syrian refugees with most portions of women and children are less possible to commit crimes and most of them struggle a new life as a new immigrant in the United States. It took more than two years for a refugee to apply as a refugee status until being settled in a new country. Allowing them to enter the country doesn’t mean stop the investigation or loosen the level of survey; it means that provide more chances and help to them. Give them hope and provide a safe shelter for the people who really need our help.

The welcoming of numerous Syrian refugees into America is contentious, likely to cause or is causing an argument. It 's no secret that our President, Barack Obama, made a promise, a year ago, to bring in at least 10,000 Syrian refugees in the next fiscal year. Those who are all for it believe showing our morals, using non-government help, bettering our economy, adding to our diversity, and strengthening our alliance is what will come out of allowing them through. The opposers feel that the likelyhood of them being terrorists is to great, they will be too expensive, have to use our taxpaying dollars, could over populate, and push us away from potential job oppurtunities, that is why they shouldn 't be allowed here. Are you for it, or are you against it?

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

Since 2011, more than 250,000 people have been killed in the Syrian civil war. Millions of other Syrians are searching for a secure home. America could provide a home to these Syrians if they were well prepared and funded. Taking in Syrian refugees would have no help to Syria, be dangerous for American citizens and be an extremely ignorant move, considering we are not prepared for almost 50,000 refugees. Syrian refugees should not be allowed into America.

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

There is no way to tell if a person is truly innocent and kind or if they are a terrorist. This could leave sponges in the country’s borders as well. Information can be passed through to terrorists more easily. Another way Syrians could rupture the safety of citizens is by having violence used against them because of the prejudice that would be inflicted upon them. For example, in A Raisin in the Sun, the Youngers were not wanted because the whites of Clybourne Park thought they could be dangerous because they were colored. Although Mr. Linder approached them peacefully, reports in their newspaper talked about the bombing of other blacks in their area. People against Syrian immigration should not have to worry about potential threats because the immigrants are thoroughly examined and most of them are women and children. These people are refugees whose lives have been destroyed by terrorists and it is unlikely for uneducated women and children to be apart of a radical Islamist group. The United States’s security will still remain strong if Syrian refugees are taken

The war in Syria has displaced millions of people. The refugees that can have fled to Europe, America, and most of all their neighboring countries. The United States is trying to do its part, but the refugee policy isn't helping it do enough. The U.S. refugee policy needs to be changed. The country needs to help refugees within our borders, as well as help countries taking in the majority of refugees. The U.S. can also improve the current refugee vetting process, which would greatly increase it's efficiency.

People even fear that accepting Syrian refugees will increase the struggle for existence in the United States. However, On December 17, 1963 the 36th president of the US, Lyndon B. Johnson addressed the United Nations General Assembly and reaffirmed the US commitment to global peace and stability. And since the USA came to existence, peace and maintaining peace throughout the globe has been the US main purpose. Accepting refugees and supporting global peace through involvement in anti-terrorist acts like accepting Jewish refugees in ww2 and the US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan to end terrorism have made the USA standout in the world. So, accepting Syrian refugees will make the US image as an anti-terrorist country more prominent and set an example to the world that the US is not only the most powerful country but a responsible one
