In 2011, an insurrection initiated a civil war against Syrian president, al-Assad. This war is getting worse by the minute; many countries are involved. ISIS rose to power, Russia is supporting al-Assad, The United States is supporting the rebels, as are many countries, which has arose the question: “Should refugees be allowed into countries?” Refugees should be deterred; they provoke social apprehension, they weaken the economy, and they surface concern regarding terrorism and crime.

Refugees should not be allowed because of social tension. Refugees make civilians anxious, which can lead to social apprehension, which leads to a divided nation (Doc. 1) Terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda, ISIS, etc. have rose to vigor and are trying to terrorize western nations. This caused people to become nervous, and people are under the influence that all

Not all muslims are terrorist, but a large number of terrorists are muslim; people are simply scared of terrorism, especially after 9/11 (Doc. 7). People being afraid leads to social tension, which leads to a split nation. A divided nation is an antipathetic thing; it leads to uprising and nothing productive can occur. Germany registered 785,000 refugees entering the country, and is afraid that terrorists are hiding among the masses of immigrants (Doc. 9). It is near impossible to screen everybody and know for sure who is and is not a terrorist.

Refugees should be deterred; they provoke social apprehension, they weaken the economy, and they surface concern regarding terrorism and crime. They make people uncomfortable and make people nervous. Refugees should be deterred because they take skilled jobs and receive all of the money that other people need. People as a whole seem to think all muslims are terrorist; people think muslims are the reason for the rise of crime rate increase. Refugees will find a place to live; they just will not live

    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. Rather, they are processed and packed away like sardines in a can. It is…

    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…

    Refugees are people that are forced to leave or flee their home countries because of the conditions there. (Brice) In the book Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai, Ha and her family are all refugees that flee their country for a better life. Most refugees have such a challenging time transitioning into the U.S., due to the different lifestyle they will have to live, but they know it is worth it considering they are given an asylum in the country they are transitioning into. (Gevert) The distinct lifestyle that the refugees are coming into, in their new country is very different from their past habits. Many refugees never return to their home countries, over numerous reasons. But the main reason for not returning to their home country is…

    “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. Refugees that come into America are generally skilled and can be put to work. They can help business prosper faster because they would be able to do the job better than the former employees. “Utica, New York, is known as “the town that loves refugees.” Why? Welcoming in refugees turned around Utica’s economic decline.”…

    One cause is that the refugees’ native country is going through either war or maybe just the place is not safe anymore. The effect is that people died and some people get brought to the United States or another country where they can feel safe to live. It is not always easy for them to leave their country because when they do, there are some people who leave their family members because they got separated during a country’s war. Another cause is that because there was an attack in Paris by a Syrian terrorist, the effect is that most state governors in the U.S. don’t want to admit Syrian refugees to their states. Because of one cause or one person, now the whole country can’t have the advantage of coming to the United States anymore. I think this is wrong because one person’s mistake is closing the door to other immigrants who are…

    Refugees Selection Process

    Refugees are put through more intensive screening measures than other group we allow into the United States. First, refugees are screened by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. This process includes very lengthy, in-depth reference checks and interviews. Then, the UNHCR recommends refugees who have passed the first part of the process to the American government. The American government then conducts its own screening process consisting of consultation from nine separate government agencies. After the refugees pass this part of the process, they then have to go through another round of interviews done by U.S. officials. Overall, this arduous process takes approximately two years before they are even allowed to settle in the United States (Huebner, 4). As a result of this intensive screening process, we have a very good idea of who we are letting into this country, and we should not be living in fear. And the significant numbers prove its effectiveness. Since the September 11th attacks, the United States has resettled 784,000 refugees. Only three have been suspected of engaging in terrorist activities (Nardone, 3). Out of those three, two were not planning an attack in the United States, and the other suspect’s plans were barely even credible. It does not make any sense that a refugee who has to undergo this long, intensive screening process would take…

    The United States doesn't have an obligation to bring any refugees in. It can only bring in 50,000 Refugees (because of a mandate set by the president), which would not make even a sliver of difference in the long run. It could hurt the United States, as well as hurt our economy. According to the UN Refugee Agency, ”In many instances, refugees become an added impediment to or risk jeopardizing, the development efforts of the host country. Their negative aspects may be felt long after a refugee…

    There is a very controversial subject, should the United States allow immigrants and or refugees into our country 's borders to live here permanently? There is a difference between the two groups of people, one wants the chance for different opportunities in another country and the other is forced out of their homes by tragedy. As long as immigrants legally come here, they should be allowed to live in our borders. Current refugees are innocent people, but catastrophe forced them to flee their country from the horror ISIS is doing. The United States is a country that helps and accepts all people, no matter race, ethnicity, or religion and our country 's morals would be to help the innocent people fleeing from terrorists…

    Recently Americans have had the issue of whether or not to take in the refugees from Syria, but if you look at all the problems they could bring into this country, there is no moral obligation for America to take in refugees. Refugees could drag down the economy by taking jobs from citizens or using tax payers money for welfare and etc. They could also bring diseases such as hepatitis, typhoid, cholera or dysentery are just a few that Syria is expecting to outbreak with the crowding of their people. They could even drugs into the country according to Ara News a lot of them trade with drugs.…

    Thirdly, denying Syrian refugees a place where they can escape the issues in their country does not follow the principles that this country was founded on. This country accepts immigrants from other countries. This country gives people the safety and freedom to achieve their goals and dreams. We are the land of the free and the home of the brave, and we should proudly accept the refugees aside from the paranoia and fear surrounding Muslims.…

    Syrian Refugee Crisis

    Concerns of economic consequences and security threats are the most common defenses for those who fear the benign refugees. Although admitting refugees into the United States would come at great monetary costs, the expenses of military intervention is even greater. ISIL related operations costed $6.5 billion since 2014. With the same amount of money, the U.S. could offer protection for a fair share of refugees for over 3 years. Paying for refugees would not only be less expensive, but more successful than increased military intervention in the Middle East. Losing jobs and freeloading is another economic concern that a country built on values of hard work has. The potential that Americans will lose jobs has caused uproar more than once, but especially when arguing against refugee entrance. The reality of stolen jobs is understandable, but refugees would not be a large impact on the United State’s economy. Refugees would likely take unwanted jobs and some may even set up their own businesses. When Vietnamese refugees came to the States after the Vietnam War, there was a similar angry uproar towards them. But although they did face opposition, the Vietnamese were able to integrate themselves into the American culture. They were able to find jobs and benefit the economy by doing so. Syrian refugees could replicate what the Vietnamese refugees did before them. Refugees…
