Immigration Crisis The PBS Frontline video "Exodus" follows the story of some of those refugees fleeing from their war-torn countries and their dangerous journey into Europe.

Another refugee from Syria, Ahmad fled his Isis invaded village in hopes of finding a new home for his family.

I think the US should admit refugees to come to here but first they should check their background to see if they could be dangerous for the country. They are humans and they are going through dangerous things in there country and i think every body deserves a chance and a piece of a free land and safe like US. And i think to keep humans safe is a humanity duty because we are all equal we are all together and i think every body deserves a safe place because if i was in there position i would really beg god to get me to a safe place.…
Introduction In 2011, the people of Syria lead protests inspired by the Arab Spring, which quickly lead to bloody civil war. Since the war in Syria began, an estimated 13.5 million Syrians have sought refuge in neighboring countries and further (UNHCR, 2016). The United States has welcomed only a small percentage of these migrants, and recent terror attacks has stirred fear of these refugees to the American people. Current political elections have focused heavily on Syrian refugees and some states have even gone as far as vocalizing their anti-refugee and anti-Muslim policies, refusing to allow refugees to settle in their borders.…
In recent time, there has been a major issue with the placement of refugees from Syria. Refugees are people who leave their homes to find a shelter from war or persecution. As one may know there is a serious war amongst the extremist group ISIS in Syria. These extremist are causing millions of Syrian’s to flee their home, as refugees, to seek safety. The problem is that countries are hesitant to accept these refugees with fear for security for their country.…
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.…
In his article “The Global Refugee Crisis Worsens,” author James Graff describes in detail the immigration crisis; there are more and more wars ravaging this Earth, and immigration has increased tenfold. Graff also explains the strain this has put on countries natural resources and economy; they don’t have enough money to support incoming immigrants, as well as the natural resources to allow both new immigrants, and an ever-growing population, to stay in the country. This has led to the mass deportation of immigrants; sending them back to war-torn countries, out of a lack of resources. He explains that countries need money to sustain their current populations, money that they don’t have. Graff also explains that immigrants and refugees are…
In addition, I will examine the current infrastructure that is in place to support refugees and determine the risk of poverty and, in turn, homelessness among Syrian…
“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. People need to find out what other things are happening around the world. The solution to Syria’s civil war and refugees is that Al-assad must be removed because no one should suffer just because some teens decided to spray paint revolutionary slogans on a school wall, also the war will not end with Assad in power, and he even used chemical weapons on his own people making him unfit to lead a country.…
Compassion is an emotion all humans feel. It allows people to help others, without expecting anything in return for their good deeds. Humans have felt these emotions through history. One time in particular is in The Aeneid “Book II: How They Took the City,” where the Trojans use their compassion to help a Greek named Sinon, who says the Greeks kicked him out of his home. Virgil’s characters help Sinon feel at home in their city after he gives a speech.…
Support of Allowing the Migration of Refugees to the United States The refugee crisis has become catastrophic since the unrest in the Middle East began; the United States and other Western nations have an obligation, both moral and political, to allow reasonable migration to their countries for refugees. Since the attacks on September 11th, the United States has resettled nearly 800,000 refugees. Among those resettled, only three people have been arrested for planning, not committing, a terrorist attack (Newland).…
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.…
