Persuasive Essay On Syrian Refugees

614 Words3 Pages

Hello, I am Jordan Brown, and I am a sophomore at North Eugene High School. I am writing to you because I want to help make a difference in our state, and in our community, regarding Syrian refugees. For the past month and a half we have been studying Immigration policies, the Vetting process and other things relating to Syrian refugees, and now I am writing to you to voice my opinion, and try to make a difference. My proposal to help the Syrian refugee crisis is to start off by letting in sixty thousand refugees per year, then letting in an additional ten thousand more refugees every year after.
I believe that we definitely let more Syrian refugees into the United states. I do understand that some people believe there are risks to letting Syrian refugees into the United States, but all of their risks and critiques are based on false claims and they are judging Syria and the entire Middle East in a very Ethnocentric way. Some people may claim that Syrians are terrorists and they will destroy the American way of life, but this is simply not true. America was founded on Immigrants, and if we let more people into the United States they will not weaken our economy and society, Syrian refugees will simply strengthen it. There are 13.5 million …show more content…

I believe this is a step in the Complete wrong direction; instead of helping the people who need it the most, we are completely ignoring them and trying to forget about them all. Another reason there has been a pause on Syrian refugees entering the United States, is so we can check our Vetting system. I do believe this is a good thing to check and make sure it is an effective system. I also believe this is simply a way of stalling until a better bill to stop immigrants is put in place. The United States Vetting system is a very thorough and effective system. First they must

America has been the land of immigration since the 1400s. Many people come here for better opportunities, as well as freedom. However, over the years, it has been more difficult for immigrants to come to America due to the government passing laws to tighten the country’s walls and the terrorist attack in Paris last month makes it worst for immigrant to come in. it is very understandable that the government is reluctant to let in some Syrian Refugees into his country. Nevertheless, America should take the refugees into their country because they are in danger, they are in need of a better opportunities, and they need guidance from higher officials.

Allowing refugees into the United States will eventually put citizens at risk of entering an economic depression. Many come to the United States to try to start a new life, but once they arrive our country deals with nothing but an increase in crime rates, poverty, and terrorist attacks. In 2016, 43.1 million citizens were living in poverty. In 1980 when the refugee law was passed we already had 3.5 million citizens in poverty. Since the United States passed the refugee law the poverty level has increased drastically.

Right now, the population is still increasing 10% of each year. I know that saving Syrian refugees is a serious, humanitarian issue, and I am very glad to assist these Syrian refugees. However, in my own personal opinion, the main importance is not about the government focusing on numbers of refugees (which I strongly against), and using money as a metric on success. For me, it is more necessary to look through the future, having a successful, solid plan, base on looking for different aspects such as how many people have found in employment, school capacity, markets then to decide on the number of

The heart wrenching image of the lifeless body of Alan Kurdi, a three-year-old Syrian refugee, has been seared into the minds of many people across the world. It represents the 4 million refugees who have fled due to the civil war in Syria. Alan Kurdi’s tragic tale is particularly poignant in B.C. because his aunt, who lives here, was actively trying to find a way to reunite her family. This made me wonder what Canada was doing to help with this humanitarian crisis and from what I found out it doesn’t seem like much. While Stephen Harper boasts about Canada accepting 10,000 refugees annually, I feel that there is so much more we can do as a nation when compared to countries like Germany that are expected to provide asylum to up to 800,000 people.

The US took in almost 20,000 refugees from Iraq last year and now are planning to take in 10,000 or more Syrian refugees in the upcoming year. Normally, this would not be a problem for the American people. In light of the recent terrorist attacks and current threats from ISIS in the United States and other countries, it has Americans concerned for their safety. President Obama is still insisting on bringing these people in under the same conditions as previously planned.

Foreign policy has been a divisive topic in the United States, especially since the devastating terrorist attack in Paris. The fallout of this tragedy has been used to support the denial of Syrian refugee immigration into this country. Despite the horrifying events that have happened in France, I disagree with this stance. Syrian refugees should be allowed to seek shelter in the United States. Their presence would be a great boon to this country, despite popular notions to the contrary.

To Whomever It May Concern, Though there are many different opinions on the matter, the United States should allow refugees from Syria and Iraq to resettle in our country. I feel like this because what is happening to the refugees in their own countries could almost be called a holocaust reprise. They are being targeted because of their religion which is exactly what happened to the Jews in WWII. The refugees are just looking for a place where they can be open about what they believe without being worried that someone will harm them or their family because of this belief. What better place to find this safety than the land of the free?

Some even deny the Syrians are like the Jews. However we did shut our doors on them when they needed help the most just like the Syrian refugees. “The following year, 61% of the US public said the government should not admit “10,000 refugee children from Germany - most of them Jewish”” (Zurcher Anthony). The main concern now is terrorists. A lot of Americans are fearful that if we let the refugees we will be letting the terrorists in.

The Uneducated Generation What would you see if you saw life through the eyes of a Syrian refugee child? This is a question we don’t ask, and it’s one that few of us know the answer to. The Syrian refugee children, living in Lebanon, have been exposed to more horrors than American adults see in the media. Americans hear "Middle East" and think air strikes, ISIS, and terrorism. These are issues we have been conditioned to think about by the media and politics, but in reality, it is the forgotten lives of the millions of refugee children living in the Bekaa Valley and southern Lebanon that deserve more thought.

Bringing in refugees and allowing them to enter into the U.S. has some downsides, but it will benefit the United States and will allow the country to grow in ways it never thought of and never have before. This debate on whether or not the refugees should stay or not has been going on for decades. The debate on how the U.S. should keep them out has been a struggle as well. Keeping them in would cause less conflict with other countries and would benefit the U.S. in more ways than it would hurt the U.S. The easiest way to take care of the ‘problem’ would be to simply let them stay.

Though Japan has not accepted Syrian refugees into Japanese territories, earlier this year the president, Mr. Shinzo Abe, pledged a total of $1.5 Billion in aid for refugees who were forcefully displaced by the Islamic State. In Japan, the Ministry of Justice has also established a sub-committee to review the country's asylum system, which is expected to introduce measures to improve the system's fairness and efficiency. UNHCR provides technical advice to the committee and will participate in drawing up the final recommendations. Through public information and protection advocacy, UNHCR will pursue strong partnerships and support among decision-makers, non-governmental agencies and the public, to enhance international protection in

I have heard about your recent announcement to take in 5,000 Syrian refugees into our capital city area. As a resident of this area, I believe you are making a mistake. Our community can not support this many more people and still live the comfortable lives we do today. Looking back on the past, places that have accepted refugees have for the most part had negative effects from it. I do not see this situation being too different.
