The Problem Of United States

Refugees are people who are forced to leave their home due to war, or natural disasters and try to start over by fleeing to a new country.Refugees are going through a lot, fleeing their homes, and having their lives turned inside out. For lots of families who are fleeing their country due to war or a natural disaster, it’s hard for them to adapt to their new lifestyle, learning a new language, new education, and bullies. Fleeing to America gives the refugees a fresh start in life, helps them to start over and more opportunities than they had in the country they fled from. “Children of War” “My graduation is next year, so I have to think about college...America is giving us a better future than we could have in Bosnia”(Brice-26).

The article, “Refugees: Who, Where, and Why” by Catherine Gevert is about different refugees in the world, where they are from and why they became refugees in the first place. The first concept the author talked about was, around the world, many refugees have had to flee, to escape to safety after being mistreated in their own country. Refugees are protected by law and given basic civil rights when going to different countries. Another key point she talks about is where these people are and in the article shows us that refugee camps are located throughout the world, but are not the best living conditions. Many refugees go here for asylum. Furthermore, some reasons people can become refugees are because of, war and “ethnic cleansing”, also known

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 need to flee from their home country because it is no longer safe and is filled with war. The refugees need help because they aren’t able to have or get some of essential living needs as a matter of fact let's take water for instance. They might not live by a clean water source. They might have lived by a water source, but it was damaged by drought or because of the war. We need clean water to live and not become sick. I get that we want to protect our country from attacks, but not all refugees want to commit a terrorist attack on our country. As a matter of fact a coffee shop is opened and all the workers are refugees. This gives refugees an opportunity to work and make a living. This allows refugees to come to the U.S. because they needed our help and once they come into the U.S. they are able to make a living and so there are able to afford a lifestyle.

The refugee crisis that plagues the world is often referred to as the Syrian refugee crisis, and Western countries are usually concerned only for the affect it has on them and their country. Yet the countries taking in the most refugees are the relatively stable nations in the Middle East that are closest to those in crisis, like Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey, not the wealthy nations most capable of supporting the refugees. These countries are often small and suffering their own economic and political woes, and struggle with the masses of refugees entering the countries. Various groups are working to raise money and support for these refugees, and other poor African and Middle Eastern countries are attempting to do their best, but without the help of the wealth West, the refugee crisis is not going to go away. A question has been posed to the nations of the world; are they willing to take in any of the millions of the desperate refugees?

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.

Refugees basically have to change their lives in a very short amount of time because of something that is not even in their control. Their lives are in danger, so they are forced to evacuate that area. “Both groups must deal with migration, which represents a

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

The privileged citizens of the United States shun refugees, without understanding their circumstances. The land they flee is more dangerous than the path to freedom. But not many understand the risks refugees face to arrive to a place of refuge. Death is probable, but death is better than the reality they face in their

“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.

Refugees have suffered so many times, they have gone through harsh obstacles just to reach their host country. They deserve a chance to live in a safer environment while their homeland gets fixed/better. While the refugee’s are trying to get to their host country many are hurt. The refugee’s should have a chance to feel safe. Many aren’t treated fairly in their home place, so therefore they seek for help from other countries.

A refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, or persecution. Recently there are many debates going on, whether the United States should allow Syrian refugees to come into America or not. At the same time, there is a civil war in Syria between the government led by Bashar al-Assad and the rebels. As a result, there are thousands of Syrian refugees, without homes because of the civil war, attempting to flee the country and avoid both the conflict and ISIS. There are many States in America that don’t want to allow Syrian refugees to come into the America, because according to them they think that Syrian refugees can cause a potential security threat to them or maybe members of ISIS can enter into the

Earlier this week The New York Times issued an account in their Sunday paper discussing the critical topic in regards to America accepting Refugees from the Middle East. The Times honed in on this topic in the column “ U.S Will Accept More Refugees as Crisis Grows”, written by Michael R. Gordon, Alison Smale, and Rick Lyman. The feature begins to discuss the problems that are being raised in the Middle East. Hundreds of thousands of men, women, and families in countries like Syria, Iraq, Somalia, and Bhutan are in danger due to the fact that their countries are facing war. This leads to the people of these countries being forced to leave in order to escape the war and oppression. These people are called Refugees. The problem cultivates as wealthier neighboring countries become reluctant in helping these refugees because of their anti-refuge politics. Refugees are then forced to travel as far away as they can, paying until they can no longer go any further. They are then forced into labor, later leading them to escape in an unsafe and deathly manner across the Mediterranean sea to Europe. This being the cause of the many deaths of men, women, and children across the Middle East as they had hopes of a better life elsewhere.The Washington Post also reflects on this subject in their column, “Refugees in America: Syrian family rebuilds life in the U.S” by Deepti Hajela. Hajela interviews a Syrian family, the Roustom. The father Hassan Al Roustom exclaims,

There are 21.3 million refugees in the world, and with under-developed countries such as Lebanon and Turkey taking in millions of Syrian refugees, a well-developed country such as the US is clearly not doing their part.

President Barack Obama has announced that the United States plans to take in 10,000 refugees. For many Americans, this is a number far too large, but others disagree. With millions of refugees leaving their home-country of Syria because of a civil war, many people wonder, is the U.S. helping as much with this dilemma as they can and should? Some countries have taken in so many migrants it’s caused a population spike, while others have done little or nothing at all. (Martinez) The United States has accepted only 1,500 Syrian refugees into its borders since civil war broke out four years ago (Edelman). When compared to the 4.1 million refugees that need our help, 1,500 is a pitiful number. Because this crisis is of such large proportions, the
