The Pros And Cons Of US Refugee Admissions

In attempts to protect the United States from foreign terrorists, President Trump has banned seven different countries from any access into the country for ninety days. The seven countries included in the Travel Ban are Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen (Jackson). As for Syria, Trump has placed a ban that has an undetermined length of time. Another aspect of the ban is, “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” (BBC). This order not only drastically affects the amount of immigrants entering the country, but also the number of 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.

A wide variety of people were affected by President Trump’s initial order, which would bar for 90 days, people from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. It also bans all refugees for 120 days, and Syrian refugees indefinitely. After a review of the screening process, the order says officials may give recommendations for indefinite bans. Other countries may be added to the list as well.

Most people in the United States have an incorrect idea of who immigrants are. Migration is traveling from one place to another. People emigrate because they face push factors like poor economy, Lack of freedom of speech, press, etc or bad climate. people who migrate to a country are exposed to pull factors like opportunities, Freedom of speech, press, etc and good climate. Most people that come to the United States are children, Females and people coming from central America.

On January 27, 2017, President Donald Trump issued an executive order that restricted immigration for 90 days from seven Muslim-majority countries, suspended all refugee admittance for 120 days, and blocked Syrian refugees indefinitely. Executive orders are issued by United States Presidents and directed towards officers and agencies of the Federal government. An executive order is not the president creating a new law; it is the president instructing the government how it is to work within the parameters that are already set by Congress and the Constitution.

On March 6, 2017, President Trump released the revised Executive Order 13769, “Protecting The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States.” This order blocks immigrants coming from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, and Sudan from entering the U.S for 90 days. In addition, it closes the entry to all refugees for 120 days and reduces the number of refugee admissions to only 50,000. The order links a connection to terrorism, particularly to the attack on September 11, 2001. The intention of the order, as stated in the Executive Order, is “to protect the American people from terrorist attacks by foreign nationals admitted to the United States.” This policy is implemented in an inhumane and inconsiderate

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday, January 27th which called for the suspension of admission into the United States by Syrian refugees and other refugees. This order would be carried out by extreme vetting of immigrants and the suspension of the US Refugee Admissions Program

President Donald Trump’s current immigration ban and coming legal actions to be taken on immigration began on January 27th, 2017, when he implemented a ban on aliens from the countries of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, to help secure the people’s lives and help prevent any possible terrorist threats or attacks to the nation. It bans all refugees for 120 days and bans all Syrian refugees indefinitely. The false accusation that many people believe is that this is banning all people from entering the United States. It still allows green card holders, special immigrants that work for the military, and dual nationals and diplomats to travel back and forth between the restricted countries. Many American’s don’t see that providing

On his seventh day of office, president Donald Trump signed an executive order that bans seven countries that are predominantly Muslims entry into the U.S.; some are temporary while Syria is the only one that is indefinite. Even during his campaign for the presidency, Trump made several promises on banning all Muslims so he could make the refugee laws stronger and the nation more secure. This order is based on seven countries that do not have any refugees linked with terrorism-related offenses that occurred on U.S. soil. America is a nation that holds ideals that every human being possess basic human rights. The United States is a nation built on those ideals and this executive order is in contrary to it. Donald Trump’s executive order against

While refugees are a major quandary in the United States, other first world countries are also seriously affected by their arrival. One of the most unrecognized aspects of the refugee crisis would be the diseases associated with their presence. This continues to remain a major problem when accepting refugees since many people do not acknowledge it as one. According to Dr. Elizabeth D. Barnett from the Maxwell Finland Laboratory for Infectious Diseases, “Contagious diseases are thriving as the world's population becomes more mobile,” (Barnett). Since refugees are frequently coming to the U.S. and other first world countries, the diseases they carry are “thriving” and being transferred from refugees to the host country's citizens. Dr. Barnett

At the same time, recent events as president trump's executive order on immigration indefinitely barred syrian refugees from entering the united states, suspended all refugees admissions for 120 days and blocked citizens of seven muslim-majority countries, refugees or otherwise, from entering the united states for 90 days. After the order was signed, students, visitors and green-card-holding legal permanent united states residents from the seven countries — and refugees from around the world — were stopped at airports in the united states.

These inequities can be prevented if the refugees were more inclined and able to go to hospitals and health care services. Many refugees are entering undocumented and illegally. The fear of being caught and deported or separated from their families will lead them to prevent going to any government officials or health care services (Daynes 438). The fear will leave the refugees to feel and to be more vulnerable because they aren’t receiving the care they may need. Many of the efforts that have been made to provide aid have been more focused on the civil society and small teams of volunteers because some countries governments have restricted the entitlements of undocumented migrants (Roberts et al. 2). As a humanitarian effort in aiding in the

The travel ban is an executive order which was put into place by President Donald Trump’s administration on January 27th, 2017. The order was put into place for our national security to “protect the nation from foreign terrorist entry into the United States.” This measure banned travel into the U.S. for 90 days from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. This obviously sparked an outcry from social media, which caused a divide among Americans. With a show of hands, how many of you think that the travel ban is actually a ban on Muslim refugees and that it is racist. Recent polls show that 57% of Americans favor the temporary ban while 33% are opposed to it, and 10% are still undecided. Racism, fascism, and Islamophobia; these words have all taunted supporters of President Trump and the travel ban. The one thing people don’t realize is that the travel ban isn’t banning Muslims from America. Who in the room can name the top 5 countries with the most Muslims. They are Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nigeria. Not one of these countries are listed in the ban. This ban is only for only ninety days, and is aimed at countries who have sent a large contingency of terrorists to the U.S. The countries selected have active terrorist training camps, and Trump is not the individual who selected the countries on the list. These countries are unstable, with no reliable vetting procedures. We shouldn’t admit people until they can meet our security screening standards.

Nowadays a plethora of definitions exists in refugee issue, therefore, judicial harmonization should be one of the priorities to tackle this problem. There are refugees themselves, asylum seekers, forcibly displaced persons, stateless persons and finally economic migrants. Refugees are persons identified in Article 1 of the 1951 Convention, however any of the above-mentioned categories can fall under “refugee” status as well under relevant circumstances. Asylum seekers are persons, who have fled their countries and claim to be refugees, but their asylum applications are yet to be reviewed, hence they are not recognized as refugees in legal terms. Forcibly displaced persons may also qualify as refugees, should they cross the international border and their application for asylum is successful, i.e. they present substantial proof that they had to fled their home country because of the persecution. Stateless persons can become refugees on similar grounds, insofar they meet the requirements prescribed in Article 1 of the 1951 Convention. As for the economic migrants, there is also a chance that they could qualify as refugees, in case in addition to severe economic conditions in their home countries they also face the risk of persecution.
