Decent Essays
Hello! I'm Caitlin Hoyng, a student Northmont High School, and I believe, as you do, that Dayton should join other countries and cities in the task of accepting refugees from Syria. Before I begin, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read the letters of local students. As mayor of the Dayton, you must have countless responsibilities to juggle, so I appreciate the fact that you still designate time for smaller tasks, as well.

In my German class, we've been researching the Syrian refugee crisis in Germany, and recently noticed that Dayton is considering housing refugees, too. While in our class alone, several opinions on this issue exist, I stand by your statement; I also think Dayton should accept and accommodate refugees. The tragedy

    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.…

    Dear, (blank) Child soldiers are most commonly present in developing countries and sought out by many warlords because they can fight for longer and do not disrespect orders given to them. Most child soldiers are 15 to 17 years old and at this time in adolescence, they, are very impressionable and malleable. Because of this countless children around the world lose their innocence and childhood to the people that give them false hopes and promises to fight for them. Since most child soldiers are children from third world countries their families are usually impoverished and these warlords take advantage of this. In many cases child, soldiers sign contracts of about 10 years to secure their families safety and health, but what they don’t know is that that 10 year period of service is just the beginning.…

    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.…

    Across the United States there is an insurmountable amount of discord amongst the states and their Governors and their positions on whether to open their doors to Syrian refugees. The United States is already a country that was conquered by immigrants (the Spanish, the French and the English), one would assume that there would be at least some level of empathy for suffering citizens of a country where they are under constant political and religious persecution. However this is not the case in 30 out of 50 states in the US, each Governor of the aforementioned states having their own reasoning as to why; politics having its almost unavoidable tendency of being controlled by popularity, politicians most of the time can do nothing more than to…

    “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.…

    Countries have a moral obligation to protect the human rights of refugees. Refugees are people who have been forced from their countries within reasons varying from political unrest, persecution, and war; refugees are people who have been stripped of their human rights. To live in such dreadful environments is a direct violation of Article Three from The Universal Declaration of Human Rights: “the right to life, liberty and security” as well as Article Twenty-two, which is “the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation” (The United Nations 1948). Take for example the story of Yusra Mardini, a refugee: somewhere along the coast of Greece and Turkey, twenty people are crowded on a tattered boat, trying to reach asylum across the Mediterranean Sea. All the sudden, the motor begins to quiet.…
