Why The Syrian Refugee Crisis

People all over the world have been asking themselves if it is right for their country to let in refugees from Syria. It is a question everybody fears from answering because of the consequences it may take. Several states in America have denied the entry because of security reasons and the over population. Even if there are several countries still refusing Syrians there are a few who are accepting them. Looking at some articles, I’ve seen differential opinions and one must read and understand why Syria refugees need a chance to be rescued from all the chaos and horror they’ve been through.

Saul’s article recognizes that the Syrian refugee crisis exists amidst citizen sponsorship, Aboriginal judgement, and disorder within EU countries’ immigrant policies. According to Saul, democracy in Canadian politics grants citizenship to immigrants without any obstacles. Canada’s immigration policies are transparent because they are balanced with civic participation. Saul thinks that multiculturalism is a forceful catalyst towards establishing equality and integrity for the refugees. In the first point, Saul does not agree that refugees should be privately sponsored and assisted by the government. In the second point, Saul indicates that Canada’s national identity is the product of the encounter between the Aboriginals and European settlers, which has resulted in citizenship. By entering the Inuit circle, immigrants can establish themselves as a strong unit not by having roots outside Canada, but by living with Canadian intellect. The immigrants should mold to nature because this is the way the Aboriginals have defined their understandings of life. As Sifton has noted, “the … government … made presentations … to potential immigrants, presenting beautiful images of the Rocky Mountains and thriving settled farmland” (475). In the last point, Saul comments on the European prejudices that are

A refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, or persecution. Recently there are many debates going on, whether the United States should allow Syrian refugees to come into America or not. At the same time, there is a civil war in Syria between the government led by Bashar al-Assad and the rebels. As a result, there are thousands of Syrian refugees, without homes because of the civil war, attempting to flee the country and avoid both the conflict and ISIS. There are many States in America that don’t want to allow Syrian refugees to come into the America, because according to them they think that Syrian refugees can cause a potential security threat to them or maybe members of ISIS can enter into the

Developments in Society can be seen in many different ways depending on an individual’s worldview or perspective. This idea is evident through the Syrian Refugee Crisis and how it affects Canada. This crisis in Canada is changing every day, as the government creates decisions on how they will or will not aid the refugees. Canadians are saying that they may approve of this refugee resettlement plan laid out by the federal government, but only if it’s taken so far and so fast. The reporters of a Vancouver News Network, a Toronto Tabloid, and an America Daily Newspaper compare and contrast the ideas of a survey from the Angus Reid Institute, a non-profit organization that conducts surveys to analyze different trends in the economy. This survey

Okay, so the Syrian Refugee Crisis. What exactly is going on? Before you can understand what’s happening to the people, you have to understand the catalyst behind everything that’s happened. In March of 2011, peaceful Syrian protesters were ambushed by President Bashar al-Assad’s army. This continued for a few months and in July of that same year, the protesters began firing back. This was the beginning of the five-year ongoing civil war in Syria. So, you have this Middle Eastern region essentially split into two fractions: the rebels, which consist of the Syrian protesters, the Gulf States, and the United States. On the other hand, you have Assad, with Iran and Russia firmly in his corner. Suddenly, it’s turned into a “Great Powers” dispute reminiscent of the Cold War era.

It is important to allow Syrian refugees to come to Canada to escape awful living conditions because Canada has enough resources to help; It is a great investment in the economy, and it will improve Canada’s foundation as a role model for multiculturalism.

Up until now there hasn’t been any report of these refugees acting as terrorists. If there is criminal activity, it’s usually American citizens, and rarely committed by those from a different country. Also if the US turns its back on refugees there may be more difficulty later. For example, if the US had a war in its country, then people might not accept US refugees. Also the US doesn't want to see as though it is racist because 53% of Americans don’t want to accept any Syrian refugees at all, and 11% more would accept only Christian refugees from Syria. The US shouldn’t pick and choose refugees just because of some attacks. They are refugees because they need help and want to be safe like people in the US and other

In 2011, the Syrian Civil War started. The Free Syrian Army is one side, fighting against Bashar Assad, the ruler of Syria, on the other side. From this conflict, more than four million people have fled their homes, becoming refugees and having few places to flee to for safety, the United States being somewhere only taking a little under 20,000. The United States should increase our acceptance for Syrian refugees because it will undermine ISIS recruitment, better the economy and help national security.

It is all the more important to think about refugees as more than just helpless people who will drain the resources of new countries but as hard-working and skilled people with unique cultures who want to thrive in new lands until they can return home. The Syrian civil war is going into its sixth year. With over 4.8 million externally displaced, the Syrian Refugee Crisis is becoming a massive international

The world has not seen a disaster quite as extreme as Syria’s refugee crisis since the event of World War II. With civil unrest and violence disfiguring the nation into a place where only destruction is promised, the state of Syria has forced millions of people out of their homes with no choice but to flee. Without a secure destination ahead, the war is just one problem out of the many that refugees will come face-to-face with on their road to safety. Many countries have voiced their position on the matter and are either allowing few to stay within their territories or denying these people help altogether. Although there are more than four million Syrian refugees, the United States has accepted only 1,500 of them over the last four years (Gordon, Smale, and Lyman). Comparing these numbers, it’s clear just how little is being done to alleviate the situation. Even countries that have the power to do so, such as the United States, remain unhelpful. The question that arises out of this is: why exactly are countries hesitant to take these people in? In the articles “U.S. Will Accept More Refugees as Crisis Grows” by Michael R. Gordon, Alison Smale, and Rick Lyman, “Refugee Crisis in Syria Raises Fears in South Carolina” by Richard Fausset, and video clip of HBO 's Last Week Tonight by John Oliver, each spokesperson hints at or explicitly states that the reason is not all in good theory. The xenophobia and stereotyping of Muslim people being terrorists are preventing nations from

Syria is a country that borders Turkey, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon. Its population is about 22.5 million. Syria is in the midst of a war, the Syrian Civil war is a conflict between its long-serving government and rebels who disagree with the government and want to push them out of office. Many civilians are being killed by both the government and opposition. By June 2013, the UN said 90,000 people had been killed in the conflict. By August 2015, that figure had climbed to 250,000, according to activists and the UN. Many civilians are fleeing their homes and country because of the war and chaos in Syria. More than 4.5 million people had fled Syria into neighboring countries like Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey. According

Ever since the Syrian civil war broke out back in 2011, millions of Syrians have been forced to flee away from their homes to escape the terrors raised by their leader, Bashar Al- Assad. However, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, has banned all Muslims from entering the country until representatives can further establish a solution to the issue. Many like him fear the refugees will enter the country and rely on welfare or endanger the citizens of the United States. But studying farther into the bases of ISIS, the group already has thousands of members in Europe with EU passports ready to go. Syrian refugees should be allowed into this country as long as they provide a skill that will allow them to

A famous philosopher theologian once wrote a book entitled, How Shall We Then Live? In light of the current Syrian Refugee Crisis, I find myself asking the asking the question, "How Shall I Then Live?"

The government is mistaking terrorists for refugees that are trying to escape the dangers with their families. Each person must do their part in helping the Syrian refugees since it is the moral obligation to protect all life. Many Syrian refugees are families fleeing violence and research has shown that there are rafts carrying about 450 families escaping the dangers. Syrian refugees mostly do not come with terrorist intentions. The screening process for these refugees are more stricter and are intensely secure. The process is much more difficult. They must first go to a refugee camp run by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees with the knowledge that resettlement is not guaranteed. They must wait 18-24 months for approval and apart from that only about half of the Syrian refugees get accepted.

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.
