There is something extremely atrocious happening in Germany and Syria that has been in the main spotlight of the entire world. Syrian refugees have fled their country because of the nonstop war there and most of them ended up in Germany. Germany, at first, was welcoming the immigrants coming in, but then when the number reached several thousands refugees, Germany may now be reconsidering the way it will deal with them, because of the fact that they don’t have enough room for the immigrants to stay as well as because of the security of the country. I hope to understand why other countries are not doing the same as Germany in accepting Syrian refugees. I would also like to learn what, if anything, we as Americans can do about this.

From a different point, Germany is trying to take as many refugees as it can and is using them to its advantage. Germany is training the Syrian refugees to become productive citizens so that they can improve the future economy of Germany. What this means is that doctors of all types, engineers, scientists and many other professions from Syria are being trained and taught the German language and are then put to use to serve the country. This is a good, positive thing, because then they can help the German people as well as the other Syrian refugees coming to
