Analysis Of Stephen Collinson's Refugee Crisis

556 Words3 Pages

On a simple beach day, where the sun is blazing and the day is beautiful, there in the shore, appeared the body of a dead little boy, whom was struggling for survival. The article of September 4th, 2015, “Refugee crisis builds pressure on U.S”, written by Stephen Collinson, brings the awareness of the families fleeing from Syria, due to a civil war that is taking the lives of many innocents. Just like stated in CNN, ‘it took a tragic photo of a drowned toddler on a Turkish beach, to make the refugee torrent pouring into Europe a problem for America too (Collinson 2015, 1).’ When I first encountered this photo, on Facebook, it made me feel ashamed of society. Syrian families are running away through ill-fated voyages, across the ocean; some make it, but others don’t. The United States as of now has ‘so far only accepted 1,500 refugees from Syria’, but this process is perceived as complicated ‘by a long security procedure, meant to ensure that desperate refugees, are not forms of groups like ISIS’ trying to reach American soil (Collinson 2015, 2). This has become a political issue, as well as, ensuring the safety of our country. The refugees from Syria have created a …show more content…

According to the textbook, Struggle for Democracy, Edward Greenberg and Benjamin discuss that America has “over 320 million people” and a diverse population. I think the United States has done a lot when it comes to helping in humanitarian crisis around the world, when it comes to helping out refugees all over the world. The Syrian war has been going on for the longest, and the only way to solve it, is by stopping the civil war ‘between President Bashar Al-Assad and rebel groups’ (Collinson 2015, 4). But if the United States becomes involved in other countries civil war, we can fuel more terrorist attacks to American

1a. The target audience for this article is United States citizens, particularly those who side with Democratic political views. I believe this because the article is about how the United States of America is responding to the Paris Attacks in regards to the admission of Syrian refugees into our country. The main focus of this piece is on the ideas some Republican leaders have shared that they believe to be the best way to handle this issue. By selectively shedding light on these chosen responses, the authors shows that he is writing to those who don’t agree with these Republicans, which is most commonly Democrats.

Ferguson's Argument Against Terrorism

When I was fourteen-years-old, I first saw the photograph of the Afghan Girl on the cover of National Geographic. She was a refugee of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan captured in a single frame of Steve McCurry’s camera. The oceanic coloration of her eyes and the ghost-like expression on her face captivated my attention, just as it had captivated the attention of the Western world in 1985. Her photograph brought me into a world of refugees, from Rwanda, during the genocide, to Sudan, during the genocide, to Iraq, during the 2003 invasion. So, it was her ghostly face and sea green eyes I remembered when the refugee crisis in Europe arose.

Furthermore ISIS has declared they plan to infiltrate the refugee population in order to carry out their desired acts of terrorism.

Refugees In The United States: An Ethical Analysis

It seems that because it would be most ideal to be able to provide a safe home for those displaced by war, and that they may contribute to our society, that the pleasure in this situation is weighty. The fear of criminal or terrorist activity is understandable and practical, but the United States has yet to have a negative experience as a direct result of recent asylum seekers. The odds are not quite as likely or terrible as they may seem, especially with terrorism, as posing as a refugee is not the most efficient or effective way to cause

The Pros And Cons Of Syrian Refugees

1184 Words | 5 Pages

Since the initiation of the civil war in Syria six years ago, over twelve million Syrians have been displaced from their homes since 2011 and over six million have fled the country entirely as refugees (Alikhan). As this crisis worsens and the number of displaced people (including refugees and asylum seekers) in the world grows to the astronomically high and never-seen-before level of 63.91 million, many have applied for refugee status in the United States (Beauchamp). This has sparked a debate, primarily between the divided liberal and conservative ideologies, as to how to manage the crisis. Many Republicans claim that accepting refugees presents a threat to national security and we cannot put the US people in danger while Democrats argue

Persuasive Essay On Syrian Refugees

964 Words | 4 Pages

There is a crossroad that we face and it one that could potentially define us for the rest of our existence. This particular situation to some people seems unimportant as if they don’t matter; just seen as another situation that we placed ourselves in by trying to resolve every global conflict, and now we must reap what we sowed. There is an idea that seems to be very well contested accepting 10,000 Syrian Refugees into the united states because it is the right thing to do, but is it really grated these individuals have been vetted by the state department; and the vast majority of the individuals have been left homeless because their homes have been destroyed by the civil war that is currently raging in Syria. Americans, myself and our government should be against 10,000 Syrian refugees because there are not enough resources to go around, they pose a potential risk to security, and we have thousands of veteran’s in the streets who should come before them; it insulting what has come to fruition.

The United States must welcome Syrian refugees to be safe within the borders. The only reason that they are seeking safety in the first place is because there was a life threatening risk back in their home country. To enter the U.S. these refugees have to go through the most strict security searches. A big reason people are declining refugee acceptance is because they are afraid of terrorists taking advantage. However, refugees have just as big of a fear of terrorist groups as U.S. citizens do.
