What Are The Pros And Cons Of Syrian Refugees

Great Essays
The cons of granting entrance to the Syrian refugees are far greater than the pros; limited resources, assimilation of refugees, increase in terrorist attacks within the protective borders of the countries, and rise in crime level-- these cons must be addressed so that readers may understand the baggage that comes with the evacuees. As of June 2015, nearly 60 million people worldwide are currently uprooted from their homes. Millions have been displaced within Syria, and millions more have left the country altogether (Refugee Crisis, 2016). How are Europe and the United States expected to provide the necessary resources to survive such as shelter, food, water, etc.? According to Refugee Crisis (2016), “...simply do not have the resources to …show more content…
For example, Atlantic journalist David Frum wrote, “Europe is learning that today’s refugees are at high risk of becoming tomorrow's high-school dropouts, tomorrow’s unemployed, and tomorrow’s criminals. Immigrants from non-EU [European Union] countries are twice as likely as natives to drop out of secondary school. Those of working age are twice as likely to be unemployed. Immigrants are also hugely overrepresented in the prisons of France, Britain, Belgium, and other European countries” (Refugee Crisis, 2016, p. 7). I believe that what this journalist has wrote is true, because assimilating so many different cultured people into another completely different culture is overall insanity. This is similar to the Americans trying to assimilate the Native Americans into their culture by force; all that caused was war, death, and tension between the two nations, which leads into the next point. Opponents write in Refugee Crisis (2016), “Failure to find jobs and assimilate can potentially breed subversion and terrorist activity.” It was also said that refugees have the potential to be radicalized once they are in the U.S. (p. 7). This was seen on December 2 when a couple …show more content…
Cherry believes the Syrian refugees are used to their culture which is completely different from ours here in the United States. We are governed by the United States Constitution where we, the citizens, have several rights that protect us whereas the Syrian refugees are subject to sharia Law. Under that Muslim law, Muslims can do whatever they want such as kill and murder, and it is for that reason why crime would become pandemic. Our society would be tremendously violated and vulnerable. He also believes that terrorist activity will skyrocket as more Syrian refugees enter Europe and the United States. However, he also understands that some Syrian refugees really want to escape the horrors of their homeland and attempt a new start for a much better life, but the greatest majority of Syrian refugees are promoting ‘Jihad’. They want Islam to dominate the whole world one continent at a time; their way for world domination is by the sword if a nation refuses to become Muslim. As for his view on the Muslim religion, he believes that as more and more Muslims enter any country, they will want to promote, through terror, and place Islam as the only “religion”; any resistance will be met with death. Overall, Mr. Cherry’s honest belief is that Obama is a Muslim, and he honestly believes that Barack Obama is the “twelfth Iman” (the Muslim “messiah”). The president desperately wants to establish a caliphate (an area containing an Islamic steward known as a caliph,a person considered

    Also with more immigrants looking for work, employers get the job done for less than the average rate, and get away with providing poor working conditions.

    Under president Obama, there will be more refugees coming into our country, and people are going to have to deal with the fact that it is the right thing to do. Many Syrians are in need of refuge and haven. Many neighboring countries have already done their part by taking in tens of thousands of the refugees. The U.S. only taking in 0.03% of the 11 million, it is only fair for the States to accept a lot more than just 1,000 more.

    The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimates that nearly 4.8 million Syrian civilians have fled their homes to neighboring countries and abroad, while approximately 8.7 are predicted to be displaced within Syrian borders (UNHCR, 2016). While this may arguably be the biggest refugee crisis of our time (United Nations, 2016), the world’s wealthiest countries are slow to accept refugees into their borders. While some countries are unwilling to accept any refugees at all, some such as the United States are welcoming them in smaller…

    Can immigrants leaving Syria, secretly be members of terrorist organizations? America’s involvement in the Middle East to stop the conflicting wars between the Syrian government, terrorist groups, and the rebels have allowed for the Syrians to leave the country. Since the beginning of the war in 2011, 250,000 Syrians have been killed, 4.2 million Syrians have registered as refugees, and 7.6 million Syrians have been internally displaced. With the recent increase in the amount of Syrian immigrants, many are fleeing to Europe and America. These immigrants are entering the European countries illegally, causing conflict amongst the people; and without these immigrants being vetted while entering the country, the governments cannot confidently state that everyone entering the country will not be a part of a…

    The United States should accept foreign refugees facing imminent danger to their very lives. Allowing Syrian refugees to come to America will help America grow economically and aid in the fight against ISIS. Yet countless amounts of people in our government are blocking the efforts of Syrian’s looking for a safe place to reside. Ultimately, members of our government are helping refugees die in the place they stand when they refuse a certain type of person based on fear. The people of Syria are risking situations such as hypothermia, starvation and even death to escape from the atrocities plaguing their everyday lives.…

Throughout this essay secondary sources such as websites will be used to determine whether the Australian government is being equally fair to Refugees and Asylum seekers. ‘A refugee is a person who has fled his or her country and cannot return because of a well-founded fear of persecution due to their race, religion, nationality or membership of a particular social group’ (NSW Government department of education , 2015).

    In recent decades, there has been a global increase in the number of displaced people and people seeking asylum. The sheer magnitude and complexity of refugee movements has placed pressure on many destination countries to respond in ways which are sustainable, economical and respectful of human rights. One such approach has been the creation of detention centres to process asylum seekers. In this essay, an argument is made that while short-term detention of asylum seekers is justifiable, indefinite mandatory detention is a violation of human rights and therefore unacceptable. This notion is looked at in the context of Australia, and the human rights violations that indefinite detention has on asylum seekers who travel there.…

    Border Fences

    Although the attacks on Syria started about two years ago, it’s still an ongoing violence that is very critical in today’s news. Because of how many attacks that happened and the degree of each, the people who escaped are facing basic need problems such as where they’re going to sleep and get their next meal. The United Nations has discussed this issue, and yet there are countries like Austria, Hungary, and Greece that decided to put up border fences to keep these survivors out. Instead of helping those who are in the most dire need of it, time, money and supplies are going towards denying them that help. It’s very understandable that a country may not be able to afford to take in all these refugees, and I can see why the fences may seem like a good idea to some people.…

    The crisis in Syria is much more than people wanting to leave a less than idealistic life; their life is a never-ending nightmare filled with bloodshed and carnage. Everyday is filled with the uncertainty whether it will be the last, or whether they’ll be fortunate enough to continue living in a slaughterhouse of a country. The privileged citizens of the U.S. then have the audacity to question whether they have the right to flee their personal hell and seek asylum. Some believe the defenseless few should rise against the armed mass and have them fight for their own freedom if they want it so badly. Others assert that the surrounding countries should be the ones to provide shelter and aid, why should we care for another human who didn’t have the advantage of being born an…

    If there were a group of radical Christians pledging to murder anyone who had a different religious view than they, we would have a different national security situation," (Cruz). Sen. Ted Cruz has also stated that most of the incoming refugees are Muslims, specifically Sunni Muslims and 3% of the refugees are Christians, which is true according to the State Department (Eugene Kiely, Robert Farley and D’Angelo Gore). Due to the miss leading news and the propagating of such information, people are starting to think the Sunni Muslims are the cause of the problem, and are automatically starting to assume that all Muslims are associated with terrorism. As stated by former CIA military analyst, Kenneth Pollack, “In [fact], much of the fighting has taken place in heavily Sunni areas ([but that’s] because most of the country is Sunni)...much of the Sunni-controlled territory is controlled by ISIS, and nobody except absolute lunatics WANT to live under ISIS.”…

    As they flee from war and violence, Syrian refugees are trying to find better lives in other countries, whether it is temporary or permanent. Only recently has the refugee crisis been brought to people’s attention around the world, but it has been in existence since the Arab Spring in 2011. 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.…
