Persuasive Speech On Refugees Research Paper

Decent Essays
When talking about refugees, the risk isn’t how many come into the country, it’s how few are radicalized. Former President Obama said that 99.9% of refugees are peace-seeking. If 99.9% are peace-seeking, then that means every 10,000 refugees taken in will contain about 10 radical people. The attacks in Paris were carried out by less than 10 people. 137 people were killed in Paris on November 2015. 137. That terrorist attack was coordinated by seven people. There’s no need for us to put our civilians’ lives at risk just to feel like we’re helping people in need. At the same time that we are talking about housing tens of thousands of refugees, there are about 50,000 veterans that are homeless on any given night. We should start thinking about

    Introduction Australia is a ‘receiving’ country and bears the responsibility as an international citizen to take in asylum seekers. The Parliament of Australia defines asylum-seekers as “individuals who have sought international protection and whose claims for refugee status have not yet been determined. Those covered [by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR)] refer to claimants whose individual applications are pending, irrespective of when they may have been lodged.” This differs from Australian Parliament’s definition of refugees. Asylum seekers have to be processed, and it must be determined if they are ‘genuine refugees.’…

While they’re being processed for whether or not they are eligible to have asylum in Australia, they are kept in large camps called detention centres, and are called Asylum seekers. However, these detention centres are cruel and inhumane in their treatment of asylum seekers, and should absolutely not be used to hold anyone. Case in point, Don Dale detention centre, the place of the former juvenile prison, located in rural Northern Territory. This centre has recently come under fire for inhumane treatment of teenagers during riot.…

    Did you know, since the year 2011 over 250,000 people have died in Syria due to the extremely dangerous conditions of the country?

If you guys think they were, you were wrong. No one in the United States or 13 colonies, at the time were fully american.

    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.…

    This talk was exceptionally interesting to me because the discussion did not revolve around the same old facts about immigration, but instead it demolished some common thoughts. The event started with the speakers putting three sentences up on the board. The first statement was: “The majority of immigrants in the US are Mexicans”, the second was: “Lack of US enforcement at the Mexican border is allowing illegal traffic of people in the country” and finally the third one was: “The presence of Mexican immigrants is harmful to the US society and economy”. The crowd had to say whether they thought the statement was a fact or just fiction. Some people in the audience believed that the first two were facts, but the answer to the last statement was unanimous: false.…
