Benefits Of Migration To The United States

Terrorist, sleeper cells and undeserving; these are all adjectives that Americans have used to describe Syrian refugees. This type of bigotry is an issue that must be addressed. In light of the recent attack on Paris, there has been a dramatic shift to block President Obama’s plan to bring 10,000 additional refugees into the United States. Imagine that, a nation of immigrants blocking other immigrants from entering. In order to gain this kind of overwhelming support for such a bill, propagandists have used countless personal attacks on an entire race and claim that it is in the name of national security. Rather than lock down the borders, the United States should take California’s model for vetting refugees and make it the federal

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.

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

states cannot legally refuse Syrian Refugees without the approval of the federal government first. According to Stephen I. Vladeck, an American university law professor says that, “Legally, states have no authority of the question of who should be let into this country is one that the Constitution commits to the federal government.” Also, he added that, “Without the state’s participation, the federal government would have a much more arduous task.” Stephen finally added that, “… So a state can’t legally sat it is objecting, but it can refuse to cooperate, which makes things much more difficult.” Also, Kevin Appleby, the director of immigration policy for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, says that, “The federal government has the plenary power and the power of the 1980 Refugee Act to place refugees anywhere in the country.” ‘More than 250,000 people have died in the country of Syria and at least 11 million people have left the country since the Syrian Civil War has broken out,’ according to the United Nations, and ‘about 51.13636% of the Syrian population has been killed or fled their homes’ and has been discussed elsewhere (Fantz, Ashley, and Ben Brumfield. “Syrian Refugees Not Welcome in 31 States – CNN.com.”, and Yan, Holly. “Refugee Crisis: Pressure Builds for U.S. to Take in More Syrians –

Four years ago, a civil war erupted in Syria after President Assad’s security forces fired into a group of peaceful protester, killing several of them (Syria), and starting a conflict that has rocked the stability of the world today. Now, as we go into the beginning of 2016, the world faces a refugee crisis unlike any other, and pressure is being put on many of the the world powers to give Syrian refugees a safe haven inside their countries. However, with taking in these refugees comes risk. America has always been a beacon for immigrants of all races and ethnicities for ages, but with the rise of a new terrorist group, with an obvious vendetta against America, the United States is having a difficult time determining whether or not it is safe to let these refugees into the country. Americans are faced with a decision. We can close ranks and turn helpless people away out of fear, leaving them to die or suffer some other unknown horrible fate, or we can put our fear aside and embrace these people with open yet cautious arms.

Many people believe that the United States should not let Syrian refugees into the United States to escape war would damage the country’s safety and way of life, but the U.S. should allow them in because it provides these immigrants such as humanitarian aid, safer families, a well- rounded education, and a strengthened workforce. As the Syrian Civil War rages, ISIS bombs the Middle East, and Russia targets airstrikes, thousands of Syrian refugees flee their home and country with their lives. Children cannot go to school and parents are running out of money. They need aid, but in the war-torn cities there is little help that these people can find. Separated from their jobs, livelihood, and families, they can

Since 2011, more than 250,000 people have been killed in the Syrian civil war. Millions of other Syrians are searching for a secure home. America could provide a home to these Syrians if they were well prepared and funded. Taking in Syrian refugees would have no help to Syria, be dangerous for American citizens and be an extremely ignorant move, considering we are not prepared for almost 50,000 refugees. Syrian refugees should not be allowed into America.

There are 21.3 million refugees in the world, and with under-developed countries such as Lebanon and Turkey taking in millions of Syrian refugees, a well-developed country such as the US is clearly not doing their part.

People even fear that accepting Syrian refugees will increase the struggle for existence in the United States. However, On December 17, 1963 the 36th president of the US, Lyndon B. Johnson addressed the United Nations General Assembly and reaffirmed the US commitment to global peace and stability. And since the USA came to existence, peace and maintaining peace throughout the globe has been the US main purpose. Accepting refugees and supporting global peace through involvement in anti-terrorist acts like accepting Jewish refugees in ww2 and the US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan to end terrorism have made the USA standout in the world. So, accepting Syrian refugees will make the US image as an anti-terrorist country more prominent and set an example to the world that the US is not only the most powerful country but a responsible one

Why should Syrian refugees be allowed to continue coming into the United States? Well, this problem was started in Syria, where it only began with anti-government outcry, where the Syrians were against president Bashar al-Assad. Soon, the protests were turned into a civil war. The United States has been trying to bring in Syrian refugees, away from the battle. Unfortunately, though some people are against admitting more Syrian refugees, but here are some reason why we should continue to admit them in the United States The reasons why we should continue the admission of Syrian refugees, is because it is our moral rights to protect humanity and to not let history repeat itself,

Taking in refugees from countries in a crisis is a basic humanitarian act. I have witnessed this first hand with my dad mentoring a refugee from South Sudan and helping him get on his feet, and now he is extremely successful. The difference from twenty years ago when the Sudanese were refugees today is that there is the risk of safety. In the Middle East, especially Syria, there is no way to be able to verify that the refugees are just civilians and have no hatred for the U.S. Until there is a way to totally be able to verify that the refugees are totally risk free it is not worth the risk of taking them. We has a country has to learn from what is happening in Europe because of the sheer number of refugees that were allowed into their countries. It would be silly to make the same mistakes and risk having the similar outcome of repeated terror attacks, and whole groups of people choosing not to assimilate to Western culture. While Syria is in a humanitarian crisis and they need help, the safety of the United States and its people is the most important thing and cannot be risked. The only evidence needed is that in Europe where there are terrorist attacks almost every single

The current situation in Syria is volatile and dangerous. There is an ongoing civil war in the country, and many innocent people are dying. Syrian government is being cruel to its citizens, in addition to a strong terrorist presence in the country. Men, women, and children are fleeing for safer regions, generating millions of refugees moving to surrounding countries and Europe. The United States is not letting many of them immigrate because some people fear that some of the Syrians refugees could be terrorists, which would put America in grave danger, but the Syrian refugees should be allowed entry because it is immoral to leave these people homeless and dying. These innocent people are victims of terrorism and the world, including the United States, is at war with terrorism; part of the responsibility of fighting this war is providing safety for innocent refugees.

One of the reasons we refused to help them was out of our fear of potential spy work. We feared -and still do now- that these refugees had spies among them. During WWII, Many thought the Nazis would disguise themselves as Jews hiding among the refugees and infiltrate the country to perform spy work or that the refugees themselves would be forced to act as spies to protect captured family in Germany. The refusal to aid Syrian refugees right now is the same reason of the fear of leaked intel on top of

Transition to second main point: ISIS has made it difficult on the United States and many other countries, mainly in Europe because of the sheer volume of refugees. II. The United States is wary of granting asylum to refugees due safety reasons associated with Syria. Syria is in a dangerous state and their files on citizens are incomplete and unreliable. By taking extra precautions and scrutinizing the refugees carefully, it will allow us to take in as many as possible without putting the United States at risk of inadvertently permitting a terrorist to enter under the auspices of a

Barack Obama made the dedication a year ago under thrust from Europe and the United Nations for the US to assume a greater part in going up against the worldwide refugee crisis. Most of the refugees were acknowledged in the most recent three months. Before that, the US had conceded only a fourth of the 10,000 dislodged Syrians forced to resettle. Altogether, the US has resettled about 12,000 Syrian refugees since the war started five years prior. Adding on, Hillary Clinton has required the US to resettle an extra 55,000 displaced people from Syria despite the 10,000 promised by Obama. Regardless of the possibility that the US were to acknowledge 65,000 Syrian displaced people,
