Refugees are defined as someone who has been forced to flee his or her home country due to a natural disaster, war, etc. When they come to the United States, they come to have freedom as Lisa Liu had said " I realized the reality was very different from what I had been dreaming because my idea of freedom was very abstract" (Lisa Liu 187). When Refugees come to the United States, they don't have a clue what it is like. All they know is that they can seek a more suitable life here in the U.S. Being though they don't have much training skills, they struggle to find a well-paying job. Without a well-paying job, they cannot afford to pay their bills, rent, and other needs which than leads to another substantial issue that considers to be health
Imagine that you are in an airport trying to flee your country because there is a war going on, all of a sudden you get stopped by a security officer saying that the country you are trying to go to does not allow refugees, What would you do? The debate about refugees has been around since World War Two when Hitler was trying to torture or kill all the jews and other people he did not like. Here in America we did not let refugees into the U.S. during the war and a bunch of them were killed, however some did survive. Some people think that we should let them into the United States of America well, others say they should not be allowed to enter the U.S. In the year of 2016 there was around thirty-eight thousand refugees that were allowed into the United States. There were a bunch of other refugees that applied to come to the united states but got denied, because the U.S. did not choose them or they did not pass the test to become a refugee. The idea that refugees should not be allowed into the united states because they could bring disease, they could be a criminal or a terrorist, and they use up our land and resources deserves some merit. However These arguments do not realise that if we bring them into the United States we could save their lives, or give them better living conditions. In this article I will argue that we should allow refugees into the United States, but only under certain circumstances. Those circumstances are they should be allowed into the united
Should america let refugees in the us. I think that refugees should not be allowed in the usa and they should be kicked out of the us because nearly 44% of america are non english speakers that used to be18% so non english speakers are slowly over powering us americans and they will soon kick us out of our country we should kick them out and keep them out for america's sake.
On 27 January President Donald Trump signed an executive order halting all refugee admissions and temporarily barring people from seven Muslim-majority countries. This action is called “Travel Ban.” What does it do? It brings in a suspension of the US Refugee Admissions Programme for 120 days. There is also an indefinite ban on Syrian refugees. And anyone arriving from seven Muslim-majority countries - Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen, also faces a 90-day visa suspension. Some visa categories, such as diplomats and the UN, are not included in the suspension. The order also introduces a cap of 50,000 refugees to be accepted in 2017, against a limit of 110,000 set by former President Barack Obama Priority will be given to religious
Destruction, violence, and chaos engulfs the lives of those in the Middle East, specifically in Syria. Since 2011 the country has been in disarray and consumed in a vicious civil war displacing millions of inhabitants of the region. Several countries have offered aid and asylum to these refugees, which raises the question: Should the United States (U.S.), a prominent world leader, allow Syrian refugees to seek asylum in their country? Several articles explore this question, including “Are Syrian Refugees Really a Security Risk? - Harvard Political Review”, “To Defeat ISIS, Know Thy Terrorist; Scorning Syrian refugees is doing ISIS a huge favor”, and “No vetting of Syrian "refugees" in Obama's "resettlement" invasion: the FBI says there is no way to vet incoming refugees and Senate and House chairmen blasted Obama for serious national security risks and economic costs of refugee policy”. The authors of the first and second article, Evan Bonsall and Kurt Eichenwald, argue that the refugees should be allowed asylum, while the author of the third article, William F. Jasper, argues against granting asylum. All of the authors employ complex rhetorical strategies including ethos, pathos, logos and other systems to explain their opinion and target their desired audiences.
“I came to America because I heard the streets were paved with gold. When I got here, I found out three things. First, the streets weren’t paved with gold; second, they weren’t paved at all: and third, I was expected to pave them” an old Italian immigrant once said. Immigrants faced many obstacles coming to America such as finding work, finding a place to live, acclimating to their new surroundings and learning to communicate. When immigrants came to America, they expected their life to become better and have an easier life.
The first effort to control immigration was not to bar immigrants entirely, or turn back those who wanted to travel to the United States, but to set standards for immigration and separate the desirable newcomers who would add to the country from undesirables which would only tear it down. The very first immigration enforcement enacted by Congress was in 1798, and allowed the present to deport anyone that was deemed dangerous to the United States.
Illegal immigration has been an important and serious issue for decades; which affects everyone, both Americans and immigrants themselves. Illegal Immigration has three main purposes: first to find a better life in the ?promise land?, second: free healthcare, and third: for criminal activity. Most illegal immigrants come to America with the best intentions for themselves and/or their families, but many others have alternative motives. The thing that must be remembered is that illegal immigration is illegal. It?s all in the name.
If you had the chance to move to somewhere new where you could escape the previous troubles and horrors you had just experienced, would you? Many immigrants came to the United States because there were many political problems in their homeland that they wanted to get away from and wanted to start over again with a clean slate. They figured that since the U.S. was accepting new people into our country, more and more could come, but that didn't end very well for most immigrants.
In this paper I will demonstrate that the immigrants in the US are good for the country and they are not that bad or are the criminals that some of the United States’ citizens are talking about them as the worst. In this paper I am to provide reasons that make the immigrants good for the country and how helpful they are and I will prove that the wall that divide Mexico from united states or how US citizens call it the wall that protect us is only a waste of money.
In the Top Ten U.S. Immigration Facts, it is stated that “Despite the conventional wisdom that most immigrants are here to take American jobs illegally, 75% of immigrants arrived here through legal means. Of the 25% who are here illegally, 40% of them simply have expired visas.” Despite the fact that most are legal, it doesn’t make it any easier for them to travel. Getting through to the airport is difficult itself; the problems afterwards are on a whole other level. Language barriers, employment, and housing are a few of the many obstacles an individual faces before, during, or after immigration.
The challenges the refugees had to face included the complications of their pasts, and how wars in their home countries altered their lives. From the wars, members of families were scattered not only through America, but through the world from displacement and resettlement. Other family members were shot or killed, sometimes in front of the refugees. “...Luma expressed frustration that a young Liberian player seemed to suddenly zone out during play. Another Liberian who knew the boy told her she didn’t understand: the boy was forced by soldiers to shoot a close friend,” (John 58). In some cases, people were thrown into jail for no reason, or without proof of wrongdoing. Paula Belegarmire’s husband was fallaciously taken from his home and jailed

A refugee is a person who must flee their home of national origin for need of safety. Refugees are displaced for a plethora of reasons, from famine and drought to civil and social unrest. Many people seeking asylum often are only looking for security for themselves and family. Given the sociopolitical changes that are arising due to a new presidential administration, it is important America holds steadfast to the ideals and morals in which it was founded. The United States Constitution, a collection of amendments that exemplify the American ideal set specific principles for the nation. A founding principle established at the time of the nation's conception was that of the separation of church and state. This allowed for individuals of varying
Refugee issue is a global issue mainly due to wars, conflicts or environmental, political, religious and racial reasons (Gibney & Gil, 2010). In recent years, the turmoil triggered by the "Arab Spring" in many countries in West Asia and North Africa causing numerous refugees, so it has once again attracted the attention of people(Grossman, 2017). People forced to relocate their homes and even renounce their nationality by war or natural disasters are defined as refugee(UNHCR,2017).The influx of refugees brings cheap labor forces reducing the cost of productions ,and causes the promotion of economic development. In addition, the increasing population leads to an increase in demand which can increase the income of the host countries and the state tax. It can be argued that refugees are unable to benefit the host nations because refugees increase unemployment rate and occupy resources in education. Although it may be true that there are some negative effects caused by refugees, refugees can benefit the host nation in terms of economy and social advancement.
ever since the United States have been letting refugees in America it has been a big problem starting with civilians not wanting them in our country making there some big conflict in America but over the past year Donald J Trump has been saying he doesn’t like refugees but now he is president and made it very clear that he does not want these so called refugees anywhere near The United States making refugees in America not like donald trump because they are ones that have went through the experience of being a refugee and they know what it was like but that does not stop Donald Trump he then makes it a law called travel ban including refugees really making refugees mad but at the same time there getting mad most americans are at home living there own life and don’t really care about refugees that's why I believe that Americans really should make a stand in not letting refugees in the United States the reason why Refugees should not be allowed into the United States Is because of deadly diseases, possible terrorist, and they will take up housing and jobs for america.
