The United States Should Accept Refugees

The U.S. should accept refugees who have background checks because they’re trying to flee from extreme violence, we don’t want history to repeat itself, and they want to start over, they’re not committing terror attacks.

The U.S need to also accept more refugees because of medical and mental assistance. As we can read in document #1 , a man kill his nephew because of all the traumas he has suffered. This show that this man needs mental health assistance and here we can provide with all the resources the U.S has. We can also connect this with document #2 because of the help that the little boy awaiting help. The U.S government should be like German chancellor Angela Merkel, who is admitting more refugees without worrying about the attacks that happen, and helping those who she can help and give them assistance. No everyone is the same, and we know there were attacks, but, those attacks where no most of it from refugees.

We should take in more Syrian refugees because they can boost our economy. Many of the Syrian refugees will earn low pay here in the United States but an influx of lower skilled workers could actually help Americans with less skills. More people equals more production, which means more jobs to meet the demand of production. Also because these workers will have different skills than most Americans, they won’t compete much with Americans buy may actually complement us (Nowrasteh). The refugees will even be able to pay taxes, giving a slight break on small communities. Examples of refugees’ positive effect on the economy are all around us like in Turkey, were the Turkish government has spent roughly $5.72 billion to feed and shelter Syrian refugees, who number 2.2 million in the country. But despite the apparent economic

Peter T. King once stated, “America has a long and proud history of providing safe harbor for refugees. We must continue to do so, but in a way that keeps America safe.” Therefore Americans have an obligation to stay close to their roots and accept refugees and immigrants into the country while making sure we are still protected. As a country the United States has to take in more refugees because they have the necessary money, the land, and a moral obligation to help.

While some believe there could be a potential risk to Americans' security, Syrian refugees should be accepted into the United States because the civil war is killing millions of people, the survivors are living in bad conditions, and because it is simply inhumane and unethical to send them away.

should just accept refugees to put an end to the refugee crisis is because most of the people living in the U.S. agree, they already want to help. “Cheryl Hamilton… hoped for a handful of donations and some volunteers to help resettle the refugees in New England. Instead, she was flooded with piles of donations and a small army of helper...” “Over 100 people signed up to volunteer.” these are quotes from an article in the Boston Globe newspaper titled An outpouring of Support for Refugees by Maria Sachetti. As you can see this is a clear example of people in the U.S. wanting to and already helping the refugees that are coming and are in the U.S.. One of the reasons they also want to help is because they know the definition of a refugee. “ A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war, or violence. A refugee has a well-founded fear of persecution for reason of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group.” This is the definition of a refugee according to the 1951 Geneva Convention and this is obviously a description of someone who does need help because they no longer have a place to call home. They can also possibly never return to their home “ Most likely, they cannot return home or are afraid to do

There are also legal reasons why countries such as the United States of America should accept more refugees. The article “Armed Conflict and Forced Migration: A Systemic Approach to International Humanitarian Law, Refugee Law, and Human Rights Law” by Vincent Chetail states that “humanitarian law and refugee law appear to be relatively indifferent to the specific needs of refugees in war, from war and in post war contexts.” Due to this lack in the ability of humanitarian law and refugee law to provide what is necessary for refugees fleeing conflict, international human rights law must instead pick up the slack and therefore must be respected and known by lawyers assisting refugees. Despite the differences between the different types of law,

Terrorists Terrorism/Crime are a big reason that refugees should not be let into the united states. One of the big reasons is that there are a lot of people trying to either get a visa or sneak into our country. “There have been over 400 cases of people sneaking across the border from Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Pakistan, and Syria”. Associated Press 2015)This shows that people who shouldn't be crossing the border are sneaking in with the refugees to cause terrorism to our country. There are very few reasons that people from those countries should ever be entering our country, and them trying to sneak in and illegally come into our country tells us they are probably planning

As shown above, refugees have very good reason for fleeing, but that doesn’t fully answer the question of why countries such as the United States of America should help them. There are many moral reasons why first world countries such as the United States of America who can handle accepting and supporting these refugees should do so. The first and most important reason why is imply that by doing so, the United States of America would be saving the refugees lives. In Syria there is a high chance that they will die, and it is also likely that they will die on the grueling trip away from Syria. Being accepted into first world countries like the United States of America is likely one of the only things that can save them. Some will argue that this

First, the refugees need humanitarian support. Due to US’s distant location from the rest of the world, the US have done relatively little compared to other countries in both this issue and the past to provide support. For example, during World War II, we refused to settle Jews escaping persecution. Whereas, Turkey accepted 2 million Syrian refugees, Lebanon 1 million, Germany planning to resettle 800,000, and France taking 30000. Also, if the US were to turn them away, they will be coerced to return home where they will be viewed as traitors and face great peril from the terrorists. They are the victims of terrorism so therefore we have the moral obligation to help them.

Imagine if one day you are sitting at your kitchen table doing homework. Then hear gunshots going off like Pop Rock outside. Your house starts to shake, debris falling, followed by the screams of your family and neighbors. Your country is now in a civil war, where you are the one at risk. When you try to flee from the danger, you are declined from other countries because they accuse you of being one of the culprits. However you are really the victim having nowhere to hide. People should not just be able to sit back and live their everyday lives, while there are people dying around the world, who can not help themselves. Therefor the U.S should take action by letting in more refugees, because they are innocent people dying. Also refugees can

Some people have an opinion that the syrian refugees should not come into the United States because they are scared that they might be terrorists .But since 9/11, the U.S. has admitted 784,000 refugees into the country.According to the Migration Policy Institute, during that time, exactly three refugees were found to have links to terrorism so they should be able to come in to the United States, and also they are just helpless people stuck in a war. But If they stay in Syria they can help their country fight they that they are stuck in. But If they stay there any long they might die so they should com into United States.Most Syrian refugees remain in the Middle East, in Turkey so they don’t need to come into the united States. But we have more space in the United states And It is easier to find a job and get a house because the Syrian refugees that goes into turkey they are homeless and barely have food.

Although the movement of refugees coming into the United States has been one that has continued throughout decades, past years have constituted for change in the progression of change to the aid and intake of refugees, being considered one of the worst humanitarian crisis in history. As the United States has upheld its origins as a nation of peoples of all creeds, colors, and cultures through morals of inclusion of refugee and migrant groups, recent debate and thus legislation has threatened that belief and the relative aid it has come to provide. The United States should not only continue the support it gave refugees before the Trump administration, but increase such aid and allowance of entrance, as the crisis continues

Do you have and idea of how many refugees are fleeing and seeking for a home right now? According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees(UNHCR) the most recent updated number of Syrian refugees are around 4.8 million people, and it is a huge number of people that need help. The United States is a nation of immigrants with a lot of opportunities, and as a country of such success, they should be willing to accept some Syrian refugees, who are simply looking for a better life. Even though the United States is one of the most powerful country in the world, the number of Syrian refugees accepted in the country is less than many other developing countries. As stated by Ian Bremmer from Time Magazine in November, 2015, the American government has only accepted 2,290 of the 4.2 million refugees, and that is only 0.0005% of people seeking safety. Clearly the number of Syrian refugees welcomed in the country is not an acceptable amount, especially when it comes to a country as great as America. There are plenty of reasons why the U.S. should accept the Syrian refugees because they help the economic expansion, enforce the security of the country, and be an example to others as a good civilian not a terrorist.

Most of us know that the civil war in Syria has been going on for a while, killing 220,000 people. It’s not just Syria it’s a lot of different countries that have been torn apart by civil war, leaving refugees stranded in a dangerous atmosphere. I don’t want them to stay there but, they shouldn’t come to the US. Here are some reasons why the US shouldn’t accept refugees. One is Europe being able to accept refugees. Also the US is already doing a lot to help the Syrian refugees. And lastly and maybe the most important, terrorist threats. This topic is important because there are 65 million refugees in the world and nobody knows what to do with them.
