“Success isn't about how much money you make. It’s about the difference you make in people's lives” (Michelle Obama). America should open their doors to syrian refugees for three reasons: Syrian Civil War, values and morality. 6.6 million Syrians are internally displaced in Syria which is a huge epidemic. The chance of survival from escaping from Syria is the same as if they decided to stay in the midst of the war. America should ease the burden to provide comfort to these war refugees.

This very situation coincidentally happened with the migrants of the Dust Bowl, “Roosevelt’s Farm Security Administration built 13 camps, each temporarily housing 300 families in tents” (PBS). While the current situation is not being funded by the Syrian or African government, it is still better than sleeping on the streets of a foreign country in Europe.

The United States is currently stepping into the situation across seas helping people rebound from the horrific scene. There are people who are overjoyed by the opportunities that the United

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

In Europe, countries like Austria are building massive walls to keep out Syrians, while Turkey and other nearby countries struggle to support the millions of refugees already there. The neighboring Gulf States, including Saudi Arabia, are of almost no help to Syrians, who have avoided UN conferences on the subject and now claim they have “no obligation to help.” These refugees, who clearly need help, are being shunned and excluded. There is also absolutely no need to be excluding either party, as a greater population creates a stronger and more diversified economy. Emigrants who risk their lives to enter a country are almost guaranteed to be hard workers, and would surely boost the economy by earning and spending

A refugee is a person who is unable to return to his or her home country because of a well-justified fear of persecution. Providing a safe place for these victims to reside in is a duty the United States should commit to.

is that people stereotype the people based off of which country they come from saying they fear terrorist attacks. With the system we have in place, the refugees applying for asylum in the US have to go through many tests and screenings before being accepted. Even after all of these tests, there has only been a handful of incidents where there was a terrorist attack made by a refugee, and an even smaller handful that were harmful/deadly. There is also an “in-person interview with each refugee applicant before deciding” whether they can be approved for resettlement. (U.S. Department of State: U.S. Refugee Admissions Program)

So, my first reason for why countries around the world should let more Syrian refugees in is because Syria s at war at the moment.

Before the war, the family lived a quiet life." This shows that, before Syria was a calm country.

The solution to the problem of not being able to increase refugee integration is to find different programs that are able to endure and still prosper even with minor budget cuts. Many people are worried that Syrian refugees will be terrorists.

As Imelda Marcos once said, “Life is not a matter of place, things or comfort; rather, it concerns the basic human rights of a family, country, justice and human dignity”. Throughout history, Syrian refugees have been persecuted and severely affected by the war. It is evident that they should get a chance to start over in this world. Numerous countries have fought against welcoming the poor refugees into their countries, as they also branded them with names like terrorists and extremists for assuming that they 've been influenced by ISIS radical ideas. While some Muslims have committed fearless crimes before, I believe the rest of the peaceful and loving community should not have to undergo cruel punishment and discrimination.

Finally, from the Syrian civil war, 250,000 unfortunate people have died. When multitudes of people migrate to one country, that country would, in turn, become extremely pressured. “The pressures caused by massive influxes of people can be overwhelming”(“What's Driving the Global Refugee Crisis?”). Every year, Germany alone spends 21.7 billion dollars on anything which is refugee related, and with oncoming demand in Germany, this number continues to grow higher.
