What if someone told you that you weren't welcome somewhere because you weren't originally from that certain place? Multiple people are told this every day, and many people are let down every day because of this. Accepting refugees is one of the major problems in the United States right now. I think that this problem is a very large problem that we have in the United States. America tends to have this problem because there are many different opinions on this topic. Some may argue that refugees should not be allowed into our country because they have many risks.This argument is distinguished from others because it will affect the way we live. In other words, we have many generations to come and when they come to the age where they are able to vote and help make federal decisions they will be able to take consideration of what views people have on this highly debated topic. But others may argue that they should be allowed into our country because they could be a good addition. I think refugees should be allowed into the United States under some certain conditions. One reason they should be allowed into the United States is that refugees could make a positive impact on our economy. If we allow them into our country they should be vetted to make sure that they are mentally and physically healthy to be around. Finally, if they want to be a part of our country they should follow the process of becoming a citizen of the United States. “Immigration reform shouldn’t be a
In one corner, you have the conservative view that NO refugees should be let into Western countries — you know, like the view of Donald Trump or any one of the Republican governors in the U.S. who have said they don’t want refugees in their states. They cite security concerns as their primary reason, although xenophobia and anti-Muslim sentiment tends to run through the rhetoric.
Ha and other refugees Struggle, Face, Worry and Challenges. The challenge they both have in common is that they had to face challenges along they way. Their challenges were hard to face because, Ha go bullied and didn’t like the food, doesn’t want to being a different religion and trying to know her land. In “Refugees: Who, Where, Why” they had to face the same challenges, but not all that are the same. The “Refugees: Who, Where, Why” tells who were the people that were refugees, and where the refugees are going also why they decided to flee their home. “Today our cowboy brings a paper bucket of chicken, skin crispy and golden, smelling of perfection.” (Lai 119). Connecting to the new life in Alabama and how hard it is for Ha and her family
The utterly diminished and persistently conflicted regime of Bashar Al-Assad has led to several forces, including numerous rebel groups, Kurdish forces, and even ISIL to occupy the war-torn country of Syria in a seemingly never-ending ruination. Most importantly however, it has also led to millions of Syrians becoming dislodged between the remnant regions with the deaths of roughly half a million citizens, according to the Syrian Centre for Policy Research, from a civil war that originated due to a series of protests and differentiating ideologies. The situation has lead for surviving Syrians, now properly known as refugees, to seek asylum in neighboring countries in Europe, but even including some countries as far as in the Western Hemisphere, particularly the United States.
While the issue of asylum seekers has mainly challenged Australia’s political power and resources, the debate is mostly ethical and putting human dignity first is integral. Whilst both political parties have very similar policies in regards to the topical issues, which are in essence going partially against the Church’s stance and human dignity. Australia has the economy, land, low population and living style to support more asylum seekers/refugees, especially when we have a ranking of 48 in the world on the scale of how many refugees we currently have accepted.
The use of this type of punishment, guilt and heartache to encourage performance of their gender role is in itself problematic, but is related to othering in multiple ways. We see othering happening between the men and the women of these communities in the ways that their roles are structured, but also in the way that the female role is constructed to be in opposition to both over-secularization, and too-traditional values. The differences between the value of men and women are very prominent in their religious value, and the languages they speak, but the othering in the formation of the female role is more complex. With the spectrum created, conservative and secularized as polar opposites, there is value put on women who can balance these two qualities and remain in
I think that the most important policy to enable is housing for the refugees. They are coming form horrible places. Sleeping on the ground, no electricity, no running water, no place to be safe. Shouldn’t the first thing we give them be a safe-haven? They came from nothing, with nothing to call their own, probably with the fear of being killed every night. To counteract this fear and to give them an asylum. When we adopt dogs from the shelter, or buy them, the first thing we do is buy them a bed. Something that is theirs. Constant. Safe. Why should we not treat a refugee, a human being, with at least the same treatment we give animals? Why should we not give them their own bed? Or better yet, their own home? In this country, I see a repeating pattern of the better treatment of animals than of humans.
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.
The first immigrants to the United States were European Quakers that came over on The Mayflower with a quest for freedom from the restraints of Great Britain and the Catholic Church. They were seeking freedom from oppression and the opportunity to build a better life. These people - by definition - are immigrants or refugees. We are all essentially foreigners in the United States, but some of us claim this land as our own - more so than others - and feel that people are intruding upon our “Americanized” country. This phenomenon has turned into a full-fledged political debate that has been coined as a “Refugee Crisis” or “Immigration Issue”. This is not just in the United States. Many European countries are dealing with the same issues and their refugees are seeking asylum from the torturous acts of ISIS. The history of immigration, the difference between immigrants and refugees, how immigration and refugees can be viewed as a social issue, and specific refugee and immigration conflicts and resolutions are all important factors of deciding how The Immigration Issue and Refugee Crisis are categorized as a social issue.
In both of these articles they talk about refugees. Some families had adjusted a new life after all the bad things that happened to them. When the refugees were being sent away, they felt queasy about where they were going. All the refugees thought they were going to get a document and be U.S. citizens. But they weren't, they were being sent to internment camps. And had to live there.
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?
The idea of Immigrants and Refugees isn’t for everyone, especially not every student. College student are at a point in their life where they make big decisions, with their own life and don’t have time to notice the outside world. Most students think of immigration and refugees as a topic of politics, religions and don’t want to get involved. Immigration is a very diverse topic and many know little to nothing about it. Understanding the difference between an immigrant
What is the difference between a Refugee and Immigrants? A refugee is someone who has been forced to run (away from) his or her home country.As such, people who have run away from their own countries because of bad treatment can apply for safety in a country from bad treatment in another country in the United States, a process that could take years.Getting related to people who have left their home country status isn't easy.The people who are applying for somethinghave to prove that if they return to their home country, they'll be hurt because of their race, religion, state of belonging to a certain country, membership in a particular social group or theirpolitical opinion."people who have run away from their own countries because of bad treatment
Most refugees, like Ha, suffer from challenges that give them a sense of feeling inside out such as discrimination or bullying. Pink boy said, “...She should be a pancake, she has a pancake-face.” (Lai, 197) All of the kids are calling Ha names and pulling her hair and being mean to her. All refugees, especially children, “May encounter society’s discrimination & racism.” (Fantino) All of these refugees may be discriminated for how they look and what they do. Ha told her teacher that, “I’m hiding during lunch in the bathroom.” (Lai, 160) Ha is hiding in the bathroom because she doesn’t know where to sit. Most refugees suffer from discrimination and bullying, which doesn’t help their transition into a new world.
The European refugee crisis began in 2015, when a rising number of refugees and migrants made the journey to the European Union (EU) to seek asylum. Refugees are people who have been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. According to the data that was shown in Business Standard and also confirmed by BBC News, the top ten nations which account for 90% of the sea arrivals in 2015 were: Syria (49%), Afghanistan (21%), Iraq (8%), Eritrea (4%), Pakistan, Nigeria and Somalia (2 %), Sudan, Gambia and Mali (1%). Also the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees confirms that the top three nationalities of refugees are Syrian, Afghan and Iraqi. Of the refugees and migrants arriving in Europe by sea in 2015, 58% were men, 17% women and 25% children. (Wright, 2015). According to Eurostat, EU member states received over 1.2 million first time asylum applications in 2015, 4 countries (Germany, Hungary, Sweden, and Austria) received around two-thirds, while Latvia received a very small part of them.
Asylum seekers in Australia always been the focal point of negative political concern for a long time. To stop asylum seekers continue arriving in Australia by boat, Australia enforces the policy of obligatory detention of asylum seekers, unauthorised asylum seekers arriving by boat will be sent to Papua New Guinea camp where operated by the Australian government (‘Asylum seekers: Australia’s shame’ 2017). However, this policy was reported as disgraceful because of the deficient living condition, indefinite and arbitrary of detention and lack of health care (United Nations 2017). Cohen (2011 p. 242) stated that moral panic could be more likely to develop in anything associated with 'immigration, migrants, multicultural absorption, refugees, border controls and asylum seekers’. Is Australia's response to asylum seekers an example of moral panic? By analysing the five criteria from the moral panic theory by looking at the Australian public reaction to asylum seekers with references support, it could be found that the reaction to asylum seekers in Australia is an example of moral panic.
