Refugees

000 Syrian refugees, while the United States has taken in less than 3,000 (Fakih & Marrouch). As seen in many other countries, economic studies have shown notable wealth improvement upon accepting refugees. One defined trend, as exemplified in Lebanon, is that refugees bring in an influential source of demand for locally produced services—a nominal 1-percent increase in Syrian refugees increased Lebanese service exports by 1.5 percent (Calì & Sekkarie). The benefit of taking refugees into a…

More than half of these refugees are taken in by just nine countries; Pakistan, Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Kenya, Chad, Ethiopia, and China.

woke up and started talking to my debate partner Lance about our strategy for the debates. We were doing a Pro Con debate on whether or not the United States should accept Syrian refugees. It was a great topic that we both knew alot about.As wediscussed our strategy I could imagine the countless number of Syrian refugees puring over theborder into Europe.

My stance on the recent immigration of refugees is that I am against it. I have made this decision upon researching information and opinions from a variety of sources. With the recent economic downfall and fear of a country-wide recession, immigration will only cause more harm to our already fragile economic state. Allowing for immigration will only increase the threat of terrorism. We do not want to feel unsafe and economically deprived in our own country. With the recent economic downfall…

Refugees will die and suffer, and we will be held responsible for it. Those people need to realize that asylum seekers are fleeing for a reason, otherwise, they would not risk their lives to get on an unstable boat and sail all the way here. The majority of Australians are also worried that refugees will set an…

reported that refugees actually benefit the economy by taking on jobs that we would normally reject; jobs like janitors and maids. First of all, many refugees don't get employed but who get employed are usually doing extremely low-paid jobs - contributing to the economy of the host nation. Francine D. Blau says, "We found little to no negative effects on overall wages and employment of native-born workers in the longer term". Many studies done by economists show that in the short-term refugees…

Refugees of the Holocaust Many people know about the Holocaust, but do they know about all the refugees in the Holocaust. Knowing a well known Refugee, and whether they were successful at surviving the Holocaust, and where they went to escape will give us some insight into their lives. Jews were forced to live in Ghettos. Ghettos are specific areas of the city that Jews were forced to stay during the Holocaust. They stayed in the Ghettos for a long time usually. After that they got sent to…
