Persuasive Essay On Refugees

America has always let in people from all around the world and we shouldn’t allow terrorist to scare us because that is what they want. I have seen that so far none of the refugees have done anything to the U.S. This shows that there is no big reason to not let them in and show we should be obligated to help them. America should always help those in need and be brave to help other when people are afraid to help them.

Some people think that we should not allow them in and that they pose to much of a threat. But, the thing is that terrorist want us to not allow them and want us to be scared of them possibly pretending to be a refugee:” It is very important...that we do not close our hearts to these victims of such violence and somehow start equating the issue of refugees with the issue of terrorism” (www.cnn.com). We shouldn’t start being too afraid to help people and start blaming the Syrian refugees for something they don’t mean to cause.
When things are too risky and can endanger a lot of people you shouldn’t do it. I have seen on the news that many places around the world are having terrorist attacks in countries that are allowing syrian refugees in. This shows that we shouldn’t allow them in because other countries are being victims of terrorist attacks so in order to protect our country from danger we must not allow them to be here. Our own

But, this can just end up backfiring and allow terrorist in to the United States and attack us:”Republicans are putting president Barack Obama and his party on the defensive over accepting Syrian refugees, following reports that one of the terrorist involved in the Paris entered Europe as part of the wave of Syrians fleeing civil war”(www.cnn.com). We shouldn’t allow them in because there will be attacks on the U.S. just like the one in Paris and will cause a big national security

    Did you know, since the year 2011 over 250,000 people have died in Syria due to the extremely dangerous conditions of the country? Americans should open their arms to these refugees and let them into our country. These people offer no threat to us, by turning them away, were encouraging the act of terrorism and it goes against our beliefs as Americans. One reason the people should let refugees in the country is that these people offer no harm to the citizens of America. There are a lot of people fleeing from their country because of the living conditions and how unsafe their home is.…

    Due to the very respectable and reasonable viewpoints of each side, I am undecided as to whether the United States should accept Syrian refugees. For moral and humanitarian reasons, it is without question that our country, whom these helpless people view as a safe place, should accept them and provide comfort and protection. However, it is also reasonable that the United States does not want to put any of their citizens in danger, which may possibly accompany the refugees. Even if just one of the thousands of refugees is a terrorist or dangerous figure, that is unacceptable.…

    We call America the land of opportunity. But we are not giving enough opportunities to refugees. When we allow refugees into this country, we're not giving them enough support to bounce back from the war zone they were once living in. In 1980 we let in 207,000 refugees into our country, but those numbers have dropped ever since. In 2002 we only welcomed 27,110 refugees into our country.…

    Recently there have been increasing talks of refugees and whether we should allow them into our country or not. This issue was brought up suddenly because of the Syrian Refugee crisis. This crisis is a global issue and most Americans pretend that it does not affect them in any way because they are oceans apart, which simply is not true. As Americans, we should be doing more to help these people in distress, people who have lost their family, homes, and loved ones. But our politicians continue to spread the false truth about these refugees with big talks of security risks claiming they could be radical Islamists, also economic risks, and that we are not responsible since we didn 't create the crisis.…

    The article, “President Obama directs administration to accept at least 10,000 Syrian refugees in the next fiscal year,” written by Juliet Eilperin on September 10th, which talks about exactly what the title states. Eilperin argues that this decision made by the Obama Administration was an ill prepared solution to a predictable problem. Because this solution was made up with out proper preparation it comes with some faults that Eilperin and I both agree is not worth it. Another concern made by the American people is the fact that these refugees are coming from a hot bed of terrorist territory. The problem is that the Obama Administration seems to be putting the Syrians best interest over the U.S. citizens best interest, and when the government…

    “From 1990 to 1995, an average of about 112,000 refugees arrived in the U.S. each year, with many coming from the former Soviet Union. However, refugee admissions dropped off to fewer than 27,000 in 2002 following the terrorist attacks in 2001.” (Krogstad) The U.S. didn’t want to let in nearly the amount refugees that they used to let in due to fear of what could happen if they let someone in that could harm other people. America should keep letting refugees in because they can give America an economic boost.…

    In the backdrop of the recent terror attacks in Paris, Republicans are up in arms against the program that facilitates Syrians fleeing the civil war in their country to seek refuge in the United States. Republicans argue that the current program is filled with gaps as far as verifying and certifying refugees are concerned. On the 19th of November, the house passed a resolution enabling the U.S. security and intelligence agencies to take a closer look at refugees from Iraq and Syria. The White House had already threatened to veto the Bill arguing that refugees already have to undergo extensive checks.…
