Think about your life. Do you have a decent home? Do you live with your family? Do you have enough food? Are you healthy? Are you safe? Do you go to school? Do you have enough water? Chances are you have all of these things and more. Chances are you are extremely lucky and privileged. You get to choose what dessert you want or what movie you want to watch at night. You are well fed and healthy. Now think about the refugees fleeing Syria. They have almost none of these necessities. No food or water. No place to sleep at night. They face many challenges and dangers over their journey to safety and it’s our job to help them.

Refugees even without realizing it they will give American citizens jobs. Houses will need to be built for the refugees to live in. United Nations will need help taking care of the refugees. These jobs might be better than some of the jobs the American citizens had before. The refugees will help the United States citizens create a better life for themselves and their families.

Not only is America a wealthy country, it is a country with a reputation.The United States has let in 135,028 immigrants from Mexico, and 32,219 immigrants from Cuba. We have let in 71,798 immigrants from China, as well as 9,552 immigrants from Iraq. But we also let in many more immigrants from many other countries. America is known as the Land Of Opportunity, a fresh start. We have to stand by that label and protect these refugees from all the harm that they are exposed to in Syria and refugee camps.

America has outstanding schools, universities and other amazing educational programs. These Syrian refugees have had no schooling at the refugee camps. They might have gone to school in Syria before the war, but most have not been educated in at least 2 years. If the refugees are educated they will be able to help our country. The refugees will become doctors, lawyers, teachers, scientists, and

    Warsan Shire says, “No one leaves home unless a home is the mouth of a shark.” Refugees are people who are leaving their country to escape civil war and natural disaster, or because of religious persecution. Most immigrants come to the US to escape poverty, oppression, and to get better opportunities for themselves and for their children. No one wants to leave their home country, family, and friends, but sometimes it is dangerous to stay in their home country. When immigrants and refugees arrive in the United States, they are generally safer, but still they are living in harsh conditions and unfriendly environments.…

    Unfortunately, refugees are greatly affected by America’s illogical vetting system. How little it means, when it’s a little too late. Those who manage to be admitted into the U.S. do not face an easy transition. This is contrary to the falsehood that refugees will deplete American resources. It’s impossible to ignore the reality that refugees are not treated as humans.…

    The United States is a country that is founded by people from outside of this land. Throughout the history, people left home to come to this country with different reasons, but all aimed for new opportunities and a new life. The pilgrims came in the early 1600s, the African slaves were forced to come in between 17th to 19th century, then people from other parts of the world came as well. Up until this day, there are still people coming into this country with different reasons. People came for a better life and also contributed back to the country, which makes the United States one of the strongest nation in the world.…

    Germany, a country 27.5 times smaller than the U.S., has vowed to accept 500,000 Syrian refugees annually- 50 times more than the U.S. has vowed- for as long as possible. Even France, a country recently affected by a terrorist attack, has pledged 12,000 refugees a year (Martinez). In comparison to these, with the size of the U.S. taken into account, our pledge seems embarrassingly inadequate. If America is one of the most powerful countries in the world, we should be playing one of the biggest roles in international crises, especially with our long-standing reputation as a safe haven.…

    They'll introduce us to their cultural beliefs and their remedies. Saying that refugees will only negatively affect our country is illogical. Americans are afraid that ISIS could possibly become a threat if they manage to sneak in to the United States with the incoming refugees. The amount of evidence for such an irrational event occurring is inconclusive. I read in the article " Jews' tale plays outs again as Syrian refugees find resistance to U.S entry" by Newsela staff that the American we afraid that Nazi soldiers would aboard the St. Louis and come into America.…

    There is no saying how long help might take, but help is always on the horizon with the United States. In recent months, the Syrian refugee crisis has been on the top of many people’s minds simply in the fact that hundreds of thousand Syrians are fleeing Syria for a better life without warfare and chaos. The threat that the Islamic terrorist group Isis is implementing is so grand, that men, women, and children are fleeing the country in hopes of better life without a constant threat where they live. refugees are fleeing to countries close and far such as Germany, Hungary, Greece, and the United States. The United States is not taking this situation with the refugees lightly and certainly do not want to repeat history and stay quit on this topic.…

The Arab Spring brought about rebellion against Syria’s President al-Assad’s regime and Al-Assad fought back, creating a devastating civil war. Now, 4.6 million Syrians are seeking safe havens. Syria’s neighboring countries and some European have been the more accessible asylums.…
