The Crisis : An Egyptian Billionaire, Naguib Sawiris

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.

Since that, the number of Syrian refugees that need help is way too high. The refugees need somewhere to go and need somewhere to stay. They are struggling to stay alive because there is so much war going on and there don’t have anywhere to go.

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.

Today we watch the world rage in war, bathe in chaos, and live in destruction. Where there is war families are being torn apart. Children watch family members be killed in front of them and many homes are destroyed. They are forced to leave their country and seek refuge in a neighboring one. In the book Outcasts United, the main conflict is how refugees are readjusting to life and how they are treated. Many characters have waited years to get into the u.s.This has made me realize that the way we deal with refugees is a big problem today. The camps they are put in are unsanitary. It takes years for background checks. And even after they get an okay to come here, they still struggle. Money can only go so far. I believe it is time to help them. Refugees are people and need to have another chance at life.

They propose three solutions: voluntary repatriation, local integration, and resettlement (UNHCR Resettlement Handbook 28). The UNHCR adds that “The three solutions are complementary in nature and, when applied together, can form a viable and comprehensive strategy for resolving a refugee situation” (UNHCR Resettlement Handbook 28). Voluntary reparation is helping a refugee safely and proudly return to their country of origin, allowing them to resume their former lifestyle (UNHCR Resettlement Handbook 31). Local integration is attempting to grant the refugee a permanent right to stay in the host country, and possibly become a citizen (UNHCR Resettlement Handbook 34). Resettlement is transferring refugees from the original country they fled to, to another State that agreed to accept them and grant permanent settlement, and sometimes citizenship (UNHCR Resettlement Handbook 36). This book provides extensive details on policies used by the UNHCR, which will be helpful when writing the Policy

There are so many other countries other than Syria that have problems with their governments or are living in poverty.

The current world refugee crisis is the worst since World War II with currently over 59.9 million forcibly displaced people, which equivalates to a 40% increase in 3 years. This influx of refugees can be seen as a crisis, many countries are under intense strain trying to taking in the large amounts who are fleeing from danger, with Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Egypt taking in 95% of fleeing Syrian refugees. Turkey taking in the most people with an estimated figure 1.9 million. However, countries in the Persian gulf, closer to Syria, have taken in no refugees. With nowhere to go, 1 in 4 refugees were forced resettle in poor countries such as Ethiopia. Europe has also been under much strain with small facilities for refugees and large numbers affecting the border states such as Italy, Greece and Bulgaria. Germany has resettled over 800 000 refugees, more than the whole of Europe in 2014.

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?

It is human nature to pursue living in a place with happiness and peace. If people suffer a lot in an region, they must begin to find another place in order to survive. Many people around the world suffer a lot, such as hunger and violence, especially in some Asian countries. These situations can be caused by a war for many years, terrorists or natural disaster. Today, because of the war in Syria, millions of refugees are trying to move to other countries, including the United States. Therefore, it is necessary for US to take in refugees because it is our responsibility and morality to care about victims and refugees.

Refugees from the Middle East desperately try to survive the wars occurring in their country. Their only options are to stay there, to locate to a refugee camp where the living conditions are horrific, or to resettle in another safe country. Many of the refugees long for the latter. Some countries accept them, and some do not. America is one of the countries that is in between; it accepts a limited amount of refugees because of the immigration laws that are applied. It needs to be

Currently there is a refugee crisis . People from different places are fleeing their countries to survive and escape the violence where they live. The best solution for this crisis would be for the U.S. to accept refugees (way more than they already do) and help them out. There are many reasons why this is the best solution. One of the reasons being that we shouldn't commit the same mistakes that we have made in the past. Besides most people in the U.S already want to help. Refugees aren't even a problem problem in the U.S.

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.

The Syrian Refugee Crisis is one of the worst humanitarian movement since WWII. Since 2011, over 11 million people have been forced to leave their homes due to the civil war that erupted over changes in the government (Fantz). As more refugees leave the country in search of safety, acceptance, and opportunity, pressure is put on the world powers to accept Syrian Refugees into their countries. Europe has received an onslaught of refugees, and now all eyes fall on America. Pressure is building on the U.S. to accept Syrian Refugees, however, with the rise of ISIS, many Americans have become more hesitant to let them in.

The Syrian refugee crisis has received massive media coverage. People around the world are trying to comprehend the desperate, complicated situation surrounding Syria. The civil war in Syria is the worst crisis in our time. Syrians upset at the fact that long promised reforms have not been enacted, began anti-government demonstrations which started the civil war in 2011. The peaceful protests turned ugly, with the government violently putting an end to those protests. Afterward, ordinary citizens took arms, causing the situation to escalate. Syrians are fleeing their homes because of the great violence, which have left thousands dead and millions wounded, a collapsed infrastructure, resulting in a shattered economy, and for the safety of the children. Syrians are either streaming to surrounding countries or risking their lives to travel to Europe.

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.
