The Pros And Cons Of Syrian Refugees

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

Have you ever imagined that you would be having the feeling that you should not be feeling all because of something that can easily be prevented, or a feeling where you need to prevent a problem well ever since 1948 we have been bringing in refugees because of their problems well because of it now american citizens including me may have the worry of not having the job you want or having to get even more vaccines or not even that getting a disease that you don’t even know of or even having your country under attack because of possible terrorist coming in the united states blending in with the refugees. That why I feel Refugees should not be allowed into the United States because of deadly diseases, possible terrorist, and they will take up housing and jobs for america.

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.

Imagine having to live in a constant war, where it's not safe to go outside for months at a time. Imagine having your friends and relatives killed by the endless conflicts. Imagine having to give everything up for a chance at a possible new life (Reeves). Every day, migrants attempt to achieve a new life for these very reasons. It's not an easy journey, approximately 560 reach the shores of Greece and Italy everyday, however 56 migrants drown trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea daily. 1,680 a month, 20,440 a year (Fleming). As soon as they begin their journey, these refugees are plagued with problems, from the dangerous of the Mediterranean to the culture shock when they reach their destination (Al Abdullah). The migrant crisis has become

Since March 2011 to September 2016 there has been an estimated amount of 11 million Syrians who had to flee from their homes, because of the war. That is about 4305 people per day who have to evacuate their homes. This includes men, women, and young children, who are seeking for safety. However even when they make it to the camps, they are not safe. Having little to no food, sickness, rape, and terrorist. Lily Lousada state that in Jordan refugee camps , “To many familiar with the berm, the attack was not surprising.” because so many people are being hurt. These people are trying to seek for shelter, but the people they are running from are still attacking. While in the United States most people live on their daily live, going to work, school, going out to eat, or being able to sleep without having to worry about being killed in your

This isn’t a simple yes or no question. There are many factors that have to contribute to the decision about what is going to happen to these 11 million people who are struggling to find new homes and start over in a better place. Denying the refugees is essentially put their lives at risk. But at the same time, if we did welcome the Syrian refugees here, hoe could we afford this? I don't know of a fool-proof solution this problem, and I don't think anyone does yet. I do know that each side has pros and cons, both with consequences. I also know that this is a decision that could determine the fate of 10,000 people, and it needs to be considered

The estimated number of refugees since World War II is one hundred million ("Refugee”). Supporting and solving today’s refugee crisis is especially controversial because of the current events, financing, and security issues. A refugee is a person who has left their country because of fear of their safety due to violence, race, religion, or war ("Refugee Facts”). Climate change and natural disasters sometimes cause people to leave their homes or countries. Some examples of these natural disasters are floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and mudslides. These do not qualify as a reason to be a refuge ("Refugees"). Refugees leave their country and move to another country and ask for asylum which provides protection and assistance as a confirmed refugee.

As we all know there is a huge conflict happening in Syria, and in the middle east and is in fact one of the worst humanitarian crisis after world war 2, where millions of people try to cross to Europe for a better life, however, millions of refugees die in the attempt. The ones who made it face more challenges because

“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”

Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, many people have asked questions about what to do the displaced Syrians. Some are accepting and want the refugees to migrate to the United States. Others believe they are a risk to people already living within our borders, in multiple aspects. With the civil war continuously escalating and the number of displaced refugees increasing, something needs to be done. Whether it is deny them or give them access, an answer needs to be given. Since fears of refugees are unfounded and unsubstantiated, allowing Syrian Refugees into the United States will help improve the United States in all aspects.

A refugee is defined as “someone who has been forced to leave a country because of war or for religious or political reasons” in the Merriam-Webster online dictionary (n.d.). Millions of people have been escaping the Islamic State and the Assad government since the beginning of the Syrian Civil War. They have been searching for asylum in European countries (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, 2015), such as Germany, Turkey, and elsewhere. President Obama has recently decided to resettle at least 10,000 Syrian refugees in the United States within the next year (The White House, 2015).

“Odysseus and his men land on the island of Aeolia. There the wind king, Aeolus, does Odysseus a great favor,” (Homer, 673). In this quote, Homer describes the great Odysseus of Ithaca, who once had everything, as someone who is lost and does not have much except for his loyal men. This perfectly describes the state of Syrian refugees arriving in a new country. A refugee is someone who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, or a natural disaster. Syria is a country in Western Asia, bordering Lebanon, it is undergoing a long, brutal, and violent war. In 2016, the United Nations identified 13.5 million Syrians requiring humanitarian assistance, of which more than 6 million are displaced within Syria, and over 4.8 million

The Australian government should increase the number of permanent refugee visas available. Since the nation’s humanitarian program began, the number of total visas allocated has changed only minutely (44). It is argued here that since the number currently provided is only a small proportion of Australia’s migration program, and a negligible proportion of the total population a greater number of asylum seekers could be resettled. In fact, the resources saved by abolishing some of the deterrent policies, such as offshore detention, could be utilised in resettling more refugees. As part of this increase, TPVs should be converted to permanent visas with the full range of resettlement services and family member sponsorship permitted. This aligns with the US and Canadian policies which do not grant temporary visas to refugees (14). The sense of certainty and ability to plan around permanent visas are likely to improve the mental health outcomes of current TPV

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.
