Welcoming Refugees

Can you imagine that your little town is being attacked or even a natural disaster may be occurring and you have nowhere to go? What would you do? How would you survive? You would have to flee your home away from the tragic disaster. You would have no place to call home and all you would have is the clothes on your back. Some in the process of leaving their town never get to see their family again and are lucky if they survive. This is why I believe that refugees should be allowed into the United States under certain conditions. These include having a positive background, being eligible for a job and respecting our nation as well as the people in it. As the US turns refugees away, thousands of lives are being taken away. We could easily help them by taking them into our country. Although some people that enter the country may commit crimes, that doesn’t mean we should turn all of them away. It would cause way more harm than good. Most crimes that happen in the United States are caused by the people that are US citizens rather than the refugees. All of these innocent lives are just being taken away and as many Americans sit back and do nothing about it. When we could be out there saving lives. Our country has to step in and do something about this serious situation. There are solutions we could use to solve these problems by making sure all people that enter this country are good at heart. Outside of very few exceptions our country is mainly made up of refugees and

And the United States themselves should be able to accept as much refugees as they can due to the fact that there are some Americans that would do anything to help refugees out. For example, I read a document from the Boston Globe, titled “An Outpouring of Support for Refugees” and basically talked about how Cheryl Hamilton from Lowell asked many people to help her out to support refugees arriving from Congo, Syria, Myanmar, and Iraq. Cheryl and others basically gathered a collection of kitchen supplies, winter coats, blankets, and much more, just to give them to the refugees that have arrived to a totally different place than what they were used to. And it also said: “Volunteers walked into the office and said, “I can’t stand watching the news anymore. How can I help?”” This shows that there are some Americans that have no problem with letting in refugees, and are willing to do anything for them, because it help seeing what type of conditions they were living in, as well as what is going on in their home countries. For example, there’s a photograph from Time which shows a young boy covered in blood, and says: “Footage shared online by the Aleppo Media Center is said to show a boy who was pulled from an airstrike on Aug. 17 in the Syrian city of Aleppo.” which I remember

For instance, they have to have a good background and they have to be watched in the United States to make sure they aren’t part of a terrorist attack. Also, some refugees are in serious danger from the country they are in now and really need a place like the United States to go to because of war and terrible events happening. Everyone in the country may not agree with what is going on and want to have the same culture as the United States. For example, Luma in Outcasts United didn’t believe in women being looked down in Jordan and as she visited the United States she decided she liked the culture and ended up staying here. There is two different sides in the government right now and they’re letting the refugees in but regulating them strictly, the other side is not letting them in at all.

My first reason to why refugees should always be welcome is, how badly some get sexually abused or assaulted, how poorly they are treated and are seen as things instead of humans. picture this, you a five year old child, the village has been raided, your family have been killed except your uncle and one of your sisters, she marries an older man, whom she does not love but needs safety and security… this is a story that has happened before, a story that has happened many times, to many people. All of us, should be valued and treated with respect, regardless of our skin colour, cultural beliefs and/or background.

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.

Refugees are individuals that are being forced to flee from their country of citizenship to another in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. Western society tends to be judgmental towards people who do not look like their own and so it is very difficult for different cultures to be treated fairly. Recently, President Trump implemented a law that band Muslims, due to the stereotypically classifying them as terrorists. Muslims are being classified as others and treated very poorly due to their religious beliefs and instead, that should not be the case. In the media, Muslims are also portrayed poorly and they are seen as individuals coming to America to take over the country, when in fact they are just regular individuals seeking

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

It is no surprise that America has a lot of immigrants in the country, approximately 61 million (newsmax). However, America has been letting refugees in the country since World War II, saying: “Since World War II, the United States has accepted millions of refugees fleeing communism and totalitarianism around the world” (Bier). Now this can come into shock to many people who did not know this, and it should be. Why ban some immigrants/refugees now when we have been letting them in for many years. Many months before Trump was president, the Obama administration had successfully brought more than 10,000 Syrian refugees,saying: “More recently, the ongoing conflict in Syria has displaced six-in-ten Syrians, or 12.5 million, from their homes, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of global refugee data. In fiscal 2016, the Obama administration resettled 12,587 Syrian refugees, more than 20% above the original target” (Krogstad). Now this was before Trump banned refugees from Syria to come to America, which really shows you that we have been doing this time, and this was very normal. The Obama administration wanted to keep going into letting Syrian refugees in, but Trump is stopping them, saying: ‘The policies of the incoming Trump administration may affect the flow of refugees into the U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has said he backs “extreme

A couple months ago, 2017 arrived and brought controversial topics and arguments. Some of these political disagreements are about the 2016 election and the current president of the United States, Donald Trump. President Trump has already made executive orders in his time in office. One executive order was to tighten the vetting of immigrants and visitors and ban the refugees who want to settle in the United States. This order ignited protests and riots among some groups of people who were and are still upset and want to help others who are escaping their country and coming to the U.S. to seek safety. The United States should allow refugees into its county. Allowing refugees into the United States has worked before; it is difficult to come into the U.S. as a refugee, and it is humane to help others.

Throughout American history, immigrants have been entering the country to avoid political corruption and civil rights violations. The United States have been a safe haven for many. According to the articles; The Refugees at Our Door, A Few Other Times Countries Banned Religious or Ethnic Groups and Feds to states: No, you cannot ban Syrian refugees, America has been a home for people seeking asylum. Attempting to ban refugees from entering the country shows how unethical the morals of America has become. America does not have the ethical right to stop the immigration of refugees, however, it is acceptable for Americans to have their reservations as to whether it is safe to accept strangers into their homes.

If a woman and her young children were standing on your doorstep, tired and hungry, with no place to go, would you turn them away? I would at least offer them some water and allow them to rest their feet while I try to find them something more suitable, like a church. Of course, you could always send them packing but, if something were to happen to them, you 'd probably feel bad about it. By allowing these refugees, in obvious need, to settle here, we are seeing our countrys ' morals. Americas ' moral compass is exactly what us Americans want and need to see. There are already many who are willing to do their part in helping them, once they are let in. With over fifteen mayors vowing to accept more and at least nine

Refugees are people who are forced to flee a country because of persecution or because of serious human rights abuses. Refugees can help with things like the economy and by letting in refugees we can prove to Isis that we are not scared of them. Although it can be unsafe trusting machines to detect anything wrong, we are letting in families that need help, not singular people that are just looking for a place to live. Should refugees be allowed to come into a country that is peaceful and safe?

Over 300,000 refugees are waiting at the borders of our country waiting to be accepted into our country. My question is why. Why would our great country want to weaken ourselves by letting illnesses and terrorism into our country, especially when they did not help us in the past? The United States should not accept refugees because of many reasons including terrorism, stealing jobs from U.S citizens and bringing sickness and unknown illnesses into our country. Hundreds and hundreds of terrorist attacks have occurred in our country the only blameable menace are us letting in refugees in. Thousands of refugees are working immediately, and illnesses are spreading to Americans in our country as soon as these refugees enter our country. Knowing all of these issues is it really worth letting them in?

As a human, I must see others as fellow beings from my own race. We are similar in more ways than we are not. The golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," cannot be ignored simply because our language differs. This is a barrier to be crossed, not to fear. If I am to be a human being with dignity and compassion, I must accept the fatherless, the motherless, the broken, and the poor. Because I would want them to accept me in turn. By not accepting them, I am jeopardizing my own race.

The reason why people in certain countries like Germany and the United States do not want refugees in their country is because they are not used to the culture that is being brought to their country or because of xenophobic as well as islamophobic views on the people coming.
