Since the war in Syria began, an estimated 13.5 million Syrians have sought refuge in neighboring countries and further (UNHCR, 2016).

    I chose an article called "The American Way of Refuge", written by Kori N. Schake and it was published in January of 2016 by the Hoover Institution. Mrs. Schake establishes that America should accept more Syrian refugees for various reasons by using strong examples to appeal to her audience. Schake has written this particular article to appeal to all American voters in an effort to gain more support and agreement with her claim. Also, in the article, she suggests that Americans are acting as bystanders in the horrific Syrian crisis, instead of utilizing one of this country's best advantages, which is the ability to accept and assist refugees. Schake’s credibility is proven strong in this example.…

    “Tashakor” I hear this almost every Saturday from Saamiya*, my mentee, in her native Pashto language, thanking me for visiting. Hearing her gratitude brings me warmth, but also remorse as I drive back to my privileged life, wishing I could do more. I met Saamiya in 2015, at the peak of the European refugee crisis, when I decided I couldn’t just sit idly by and become a refugee youth mentor. Saamiya is a 7-year-old girl from Afghanistan with five(!) brothers. As you can imagine, she deals with a lot from chasing after her older brothers, dealing with her rambunctious baby brother and, on top of everything, growing up as a refugee in a foreign country.…

    “ We’re just living on the edge of life. We’re always nervous, we’re always afraid” said Mariam Akash who is mother of nine children whose dad was shot by a sniper (“Syria: The Story of the Conflict”). While the syrian civil war crisis is happening there, people here are just living their lives like nothing is happening which is not right.
