Refuge or Refuse?
In December of 2015, an immigrant from Saudi Arabia went on a shooting spree in San Bernardino, California, with her husband (Grieder 21). The United States had trusted her enough to let her enter into the country of freedom and she betrayed that trust. The United States is left to wonder how many other refugees, immigrants, and migrants would do the same thing as the resident of San Bernardino. Even though refugees need a place to live, the United States should not accept any more refugees due to the financial issues that refugees bring, the threats that accompany extra people, and the multitude of problems associated with refugees. Refugees have no way to survive unless they have money; however, refugees cost the U.S. …show more content…

Refugees change how other countries view the United States (Gebert 16). Immigrants and refugees have already strained Texas’ infrastructure, crowded classrooms, and imported their culture (Grieder 21). A steady influx of people who have no jobs, money, or basic means of survival will damage the economy of the United States. The economy is already damaged as the U.S. is in trillions of dollars of debt. The refugees that enter into the country only make the debt worse because they have no means to survive. There are some benefits to hosting refugees. In Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel accepted 800,000 refugees (LeBor 12). Germany has cancelled all deportation plans for Syrian refugees (LeBor 12). This has benefitted Germany by bring up the population and adding to the dwindling workforce (LeBor 14). In addition to helping the economy, Merkel brought in more refugees because they are fleeing for their lives. The public helps out the refugees by donating supplies (LeBor 14). Now, 800,000 more people are safe and have a place to live with hope for their …show more content…

The war in Syria is not very easy to stop, there are not enough jobs to go around, and granting citizenship to fewer people only creates more illegal immigrants (Yang 42). While there are ways to benefit from refugees, the U.S. is not close to needing refugees to help the economy or population. Refugees will not benefit the U.S. and should not be let into its borders. Refugees cause problems with other countries, result in terrorism, and cost too much money. The U.S. cannot benefit from refugees.

President Biden decided to raise the number of refugees entering the US from eighteen thousand, which is a low ceiling imposed by President Trump in 2020. However, this is difficult due to the intransigent Republican caucus. This implied that the government cannot handle the refugee resettlement alone. The citizens are a principal part to achieve the goals of resettling refugees. The author uses his and others’ credibility to support his argument about the importance of refugees and build the readers' trust and

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.

Immigration has been an ever-growing “problem” that needs to be evaluated and solved. Many immigrants — whether legal or illegal — are forced to leave their home due to conflicts (examples include civil wars or terrorism) or poverty. Many immigrants are children, elderly and those who require Medicare, homes, food, and other necessities for life. Despite this, many countries take in immigrants as they, whether children, adult or elderly, provide benefits to the nation — as well as risks. By the end of 2016, as many as 66 million refugees were forced from their homes due to conflict in the forms of civil war and persecution due to race, beliefs and/ or gender.

The international community is witnessing unprecedented levels of displaced people due to war and political instability. Current estimates from the UN Refugee Agency (2018) argue that ¬¬these numbers could be as high as 65.6 million displaced people. As members of the international community, each nation gets to determine their own response to this crisis. Beliefs and actions taken on this matter have been vastly different and are being demonstrated and crafted by a nation’s national news discourse. Some of the most vastly different actions and opinions on assisting refugees come from the nations of Germany and Hungary.

Over 300,000 refugees are waiting at the borders of our country waiting to be accepted into our country. My question is why.

There is little doubt that the issue of refugees is a global problem. While it most immediately affects developing nations, there is a strong argument that modernized countries should help by allowing higher levels of immigration. This is certainly not an easy issue though, because historically, immigration has caused as many problems as it solves. Every year there are thousands on refugees on the move. Where are they moving?

Leaders and governments around the world have labelled refugees as being a burden on their country either directly or indirectly. These leaders only see them as people who are trying to get into their country to escape the civil war, but fail to see that the refugees are also risking their lives in the process. At present, there are approximately 54.5 million refugees that are displaced, the largest refugee crisis the world has ever seen and they have nowhere to go. The question of doing the right thing and taking them in has been squashed due to various reasons and it appears to be that each country has adopted the ‘each man for himself’ policy by stating that it is their duty to only look after its citizens and no one else.

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. The European Refugee Crisis has also displaced nine million Syrians’ homes, making it troublesome for countries to house them.

We must all work together to address it. We are all humans, refugees are just the same as us and the most important thing we share is our hope for peace and equality. It’s not their fault, stop blaming them for a decision you would have taken in the same situation.

That’s the same with immigrants, therefor, it’s time to show them our humanity, solidarity, and
