Refugees can easily become a burden to the government, if the government does not help foster their integration. There are several factors that can help to ease the integration of refugees in Germany. The social, eductional and economic factors being the most pivotal.
Even though Germany has been considered an immigration land since the 1960 with the arrival of more than 1,000,000 guest workers, Germany still lacked modern and concrete immigration and integration laws.

This will help refugees to easily be employed and start paying taxes and not be a burden on the …show more content…

Right now, every country has to decide on how many refugees it is willing to accept. Just very recently, Germany agreed to take in 800,000 refugees. In order to cater to the immigrants’ immediate needs, the country needs around $5 billion, and the officials believe that it is manageable.

If all of the world's immigrants lived in one single country, it would be the world's fifth largest, with around 244 million people, 65.6 million people out of them have been forced to flee their homes. Overall, international migrants makeup 3.3% of the world's population today (Phillip Connor). Therefore, we must respect and be open-minded towards them as they are human beings just like us. The idea that immigrants and refugees cause unemployment, economic problems and negatively impact the society is the wrong mentality to have and needs to be changed because this is discriminatory and based on assumption and not facts.

The Refugee Act of 1980 put into place policies for refugees. It would redefine what a "refugee" was to agree with the United Nations norms. An objective for around 50 thousand for refugee immigrants was set around 50,000 while worldwide immigrant quota was reduced to 270,000 annually.

I believe that if refugee seeks to come into the U.S and has family in the U.S. either American-born or family with green cards, they should be able to live in the country legally and to hold a job. “People become much more productive when they move from countries where they have little or no opportunity to use their talents, to those where they can be more productive” (Somin 2017). Many of employers in the U.S now, have various immigrants working in successful industries that have kept the U.S economy churning. Mexican restaurants for example.

increased medical and education provision, increased demand for utilities such as water – and longer-term capital costs and impacts such as infrastructure investment. […] the host community is likely to face an increase in taxation to pay for the investment in capital assets or may pay an opportunity cost by forgoing alternative public sector investment options”. According to J McHugh of the International Business Times “The cost of caring for refugees and integrating them into German society could cost Germany from 1.8 billion to 3.3 billion euros in 2016, German Labor Minister Andrea Naples [.]… Thousands of refugees fleeing violent conflict have been arriving on Europe's shores throughout the summer, and one of the most popular final destinations has been Germany, where the economy is one of the strongest in Europe.

Moving to a foreign country is definitely not accomplished without its various obstacles. Unable to bring the majority of their possessions, many German immigrants were forced to start all over. Another challenge presented to them was while some immigrants already had family settled in the United States, the majority did not. In fact, a large number of German immigrants knew no one, therefore, propelling them to adjust to their new environment without the help of friends or family. Finally, to add to their difficulties, early German immigrants struggled with the language barrier, as their ability to read and speak English was extremely limited.

Despite the best efforts of researchers on gene therapy, however, gene therapy has been related with numerous challenges over the last few decades. One challenge facing the field is the development of vector formulations to achieve optimal vector safety, stability and efficacy (Wright, Qu, Tang & Sommer, 2003). Li and Huang (2000) stated that successful gene therapy is largely dependent on the development of the vector that can efficiently deliver a gene to target cell with minimal toxicity. Nonviral and viral vectors are largely used in gene therapy. It is important to make the vector safe and efficient because delivering unsafe vector into a cell can cause severe health problems to patients.

She is only the third chancellor since World War II to preside over the country for more than a decade. Merkel has shown herself to be a decisive, moral and empathic leader whose popularity rivals that of the United States leadership. While not necessarily favorable with everyone, Merkel was responsible for suspending regulations for Syrian refugees in 2015 (Drew, 2016). She later reinstated the regulations, but defended her decision by saying "If we now have to start apologizing for showing a friendly face in response to emergency situations, then that's not my country" (as cited in Drew, 2016). Germany was estimated to receive 800,000 refugees, more than all of Europe combined (Fareed, 2015).

With the increase in Turkish population, German people started to show their complaints. At first, it was an advantage for them in terms of cheap labor while the situation turned into a threat in time with hundreds of thousands Turkish people living in their country. As stated by Faruk Şen (2002), “it is important to consider that none of the members of the two groups (Germans, Turkish workers) would have thought that they would stay longer than two years, as it was stated in the recruitment treaties.” (p.3) However at the end, the problem has reached to a point where these immigrants started to enter the German market thanks to the money they have earned and saved over the years they have stayed in Germany. Here, considering the approach of Roamer and Lee, it can be seen easily that German people started to become deeply concerned about losing their economic resources to the Turkish workers, who started to invade their

Refugees don’t choose to lead this life but instead are forced to. And as stated above, there is a silver lining to accepting refugees. The least anybody can do is to show them love and kindness and help them build better lives for themselves in contrast to turning a blind eye and pretending that everything will eventually go back to normal. As it appears to be, the situation does not seem likely to decrease in the foreseeable future, and this short-term thinking of various impacts it may have on the country may lead to bigger and longer-term problems for the local economy.

A refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their home country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. There are many different types of refugees, these include refugees who are escaping war, social discrimination, racial discrimination, religious persecution, those who are seeking aid after a natural disaster, political unrest, and those who fear for their lives and the lives of their family. These people are given refugee status and are placed in designated refugee camps across the country where they are supposed to be cared for and educated, but this is not happening. Many of the countries only provide shelter for the refugees but do not provide the rest of the basic needs. There are many factors that contribute to a person becoming a refugee these include war, famine, racial prejudice, religion, harassment or torture due to political views, nationality, and natural disaster.
