Persuasive Essay On Refugees

Thousands and thousands of migrants have begun to flood into the European countries. With immigration numbers higher than ever, these countries have begun to search for solutions. Some countries have considered closing their borders , many are beginning to show violence to keep people out. As always, there is a much better solution other than using violence. The Europe Migration Policy needs to be adjusted to current needs and these countries need to work together to create better opportunities for the immigrants and refugees seeking safety.

Accepting refugees in Europe has become a highly controversial problem in the past few months. Without a doubt, a large number of lives could be saved due to this ethical action; however, there has been a significant rise in protesting refugees. We should consider carefully the advantages and disadvantages of such a substantial

This article explains and show the immigration crisis today in Europe and how it might still yet to get worst. In Europe as it is today, has been serving as a major ground for immigrant refugees. There is over sixty million displaced people and refugees, numbers not even heard of during the period of WW2 coming from not only seria but from other regions like Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa and even Haiti. The must striking thing about this crisis, is that it is still expected to get worst. Say if the tailaban keep trying to extend their territorial gains across Afghanistan, this will force afghans to want to migrate. Due to this attacks, about one hundred thousand afghans are expected to migrate to Europe this year. These numbers increase daily as these refugees try to escape thier home countries due to terrosm or other unpeace conditions. For example many inhaptants of Iraq are already homeless, daily amid wartime shortages of food and medicine and persistent bombardment by Isis . Yemen is not much farther away from Europe than eritia now the biggest source of African refugees, just across the Red Sea, and at some 25 million it is as. According to numerous interviews conducted, Nigeria which has a

Since spring of 2015, more than one million people have immigrated into Europe causing an immigration crisis.The conflicts in Syria Afghanistan, and Iraq, being the main reason immigrants are fleeing into the European countries. The majority of the immigrants have been arriving in Germany, Greece, Italy and Hungary because they are easily accessible. This influx of immigration into Europe has caused overpopulation.Tensions in the European Union have been rising because of this, in September, the ministers of the European Union voted to relocate 160,000 immigrants that had come into Italy and Greece More than 386,000 immigrants came into Hungary last year, Hungary reacted by closing its border to all. Hungary also relocated 54,000 immigrants to deal with the influx of people. Each country has dealt with the immigration crisis in their own way, as people continue to cross the borders into European countries the lawmakers there pass laws limiting their access.

This was hoped to settle asylum seekers people in the first EU country an asylum seeker enters into, however there has been a massive influx in the numbers applying, forcing refugees to move on inland towards central European countries such as Germany or in this case, the UK.

The paper goes on to say that the European crisis is because of the large numbers of refugees that are overwhelming the local European populations; and that ‘Countries that can’t control their borders always face a backlash’.

An asylum seeker is someone who has applied for protection as a refugee but their claim has not yet been accepted, accessed or confirmed. While a refugee is someone who has been recognised under the 1951 Refugee convention as mentioned hose claim has been accepted and their status falls in line with the guidelines of The Refugee Convention. Despite this, the UNHCR explains that the definition of ‘refugee’ does not actually account for the individuals or groups of people that leave their country because of war, other civil disturbance, famine, natural disasters or to seek a better life. (UNHCR,

According to MigrationPolicy.org (2004) the number of asylum applications grew from 10s of thousands in the millions within 20 years. To respond to today’s current refugee crisis, Germany has begun resettling refugees within its border, and in record numbers. Germany is the leading country with refugee resettlement in the world. Germany offers many laws, policies, and programs to address the crisis. Germany offers various assistance for refugees depending on their

As Britain opted to leave the European Union and head into a negotiation process with its European counterparts, many issues need to be considered. Mainly the UK government focuses on the economic position, in particular the single market. This issue is closely linked to freedom of movement, so it could be the hardest part of the negotiation on which to achieve common ground. A part of the difficulty are the issues relating to the migration of people who are non-EU citizens, while the focus herein is firmly on the future of those defined as asylum seekers. This category has not been shown any attention by UK policy makers, while it appears this group forms a significant proportion of net migration figures. Plus, it could be argued that the main driver of the crisis that has led the UK public to opt to leave the EU is the influx of migrants, as this issue greatly escalated when the European Union was pushed the UK to accept a percentage of people who fled their homes from persecution, in particular Syrian citizens. Thus, the problem is defined by which asylum seekers are part of the issue that has led the UK to leave the European Union, regardless from who is behind this, whether the radical right-wing or individuals. It is too late to seek the root causes of the problem; it is time for solutions and guiding principles. The neo-liberal economic policies stated that social democracy should be our guiding values

Europe is in a state of turmoil. Immigrants have arrived in Europe by the millions, which has caused this nation to think about their old immigration policies. After World War II, Europe decided to have an open door policy for incoming immigrants from Africa and the Middle East. As time progressed and wars started in the Middle East and Africa, Europe started to take in refugees. One of the qualifications to live as a refugee in an Europe nation is one must apply for asylum. This application process just shows that the people that are escaping from their country, really do need to escape because they are being prosecuted in their own country. However, many people fake the information and are being let into countries that they have the ability

As has already been shown in this essay, the policies that attempt to scare the refugees away aren't reasonable or effective (Collet). Instead, an acceptance of migrants by Europeans would help resolve the crisis. To show the stigmas that Europeans have about the migrants are completely made up, the media should put more effort into educating people about refugees instead of just stressing that they are all rapists (Tharoor) and that there is a slight possiblilty that there is a terrorist hiding among them (Al Abdullah). All this accomplishes is scaring Europeans more and blinding them with hate when all they have to do is open their eyes and see that it's all false. There must also be a greater effort to help migrants through the process of culture shock as Europe is completely different from the Middle East and Africa. This would help the refugees ease into their lives much more easily and feel much more welcomed (Mahmood). The refugees could even help solve the problem that much of Europe is facing, the decreasing birthrates. The town of Sutera, Italy realized this and instead of rejecting the migrants, they embraced them (Tondo). Sutera was becoming a ghost town as many of its citizens where leaving for Northern Europe. They invited refugees to live in the town and it has become a huge success. The economy has improved as there are now more people and they have been able to take over the jobs left behind by the Italians that left. The refugees have even been able to live in the homes abandoned by the Italians and over all, it has been a huge success (Tondo). The rest of Europe should learn from Sutera and instead of turning away the migrants, accepting them with open

Refugees have been going into other countries for a plethora of years, for reasons, such as escaping from a tyrannical government or just for safety. In Europe the Schengen Visa, allows transport throughout parts of Europe. “The Schengen Area is comprised of 26 countries that have agreed to allow free movement of their citizens within this area as a single country,” (SchengenVisa). Also, “Of the 26 countries bound by the Schengen agreement, 22 are part of the EU (European Union) and the other 4 are part of the EFTA. (European Free Trade Association)” (SchengenVisa). The safety reasons that the refugees would be escaping from are, war, persecution from their government, and natural disaster. One main law that protects refugees is called the International refugee law which, “ is a

Europe is facing an extraordinary abundance of illegal immigration from the Middle East and Africa. A crisis of historic proportions that raises the question, “should Europe shut down their borders and stop allowing immigrants in, or should Europe allow immigrants who are fleeing civil war and the terrible conditions of the Islamic State into its countries? Both sides of the debate have good arguments to back up their responses. By keeping the borders open for refugees, Europe can benefit greatly from the contributions that immigrants could make. But, on the other hand, allowing a large number of immigrants into Europe could have a negative impact on the economy. Even though allowing an abundance of refugees into Europe could have a negative impact on the economy, the contributions these immigrants could make would make it worth the risk.

In 2015, the Syrian civil war has displaced more than 4 million to refugee camps in neighbouring countries like Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon. Refugees have since began their journey, seeking rumoured employment opportunities and social benefits in destination countries, on boats or pay smugglers without any guarantee on safety and welfare. The influx of refugees on EU’s shores stunned its members with pressures of uncontrolled migration and rising political, security and social issues. The current crisis exposed EU’s incompetence in creating swift and unanimous decision from its states to deal with the mass of refugees. Political rifts among its governments have forced self-serving resolutions in order to prevent the crisis from escalating any

The 1951 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees defined a refugee is a person who, “owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his/her nationality, and is unable to or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country or return there because there is a fear of persecution...”, Human Rights Education Associates, HREA, (2003, p,16).
