Pros And Cons Of The Syrian Refugee Crisis

880 Words4 Pages

The Syrian refugee crisis isn’t a simple yes or no question. There are many parts to the decision regarding what’s supposed to happen to the 11 million people who are struggling to start over in a new place and find a new place to call home. I’ve tried to remain neutral and see both the pros and cons of the situation, but I don’t see why we shouldn’t allow these innocent refugees into our country. A few months ago, President Obama announced that United States would be resettling about 10,000 Syrian refugees within the next year. Unfortunately, after what happened in Paris, 31 governors have said that they will not be accepting any Syrians. Which, by the way, is unconstitutional. The admission of immigrants and refugees is decided at the federal level and states have no say in the process. These states seem to forget that over 100 years ago the Supreme Court ruled that once an immigrant is admitted into the country, it’s not up to the states to restrict their travel. Thus, all those governors can feel all big and bad, and think their opinions matter, but in the long run no one cares. In regard to no one caring about people’s useless opinions, speaker of the House Paul Ryan said, "Our nation has always …show more content…

The guy who invented the device you’ve most likely got in either your hand, pocket, or by your side. Well, his biological father was a Syrian refugee. Believe it or not, Steve Jobs wouldn’t be here without his biological, Syrian father. Therefore, the exact device you’re using to argue about the refugee crisis wouldn’t have been invented. The Syrian decent of the Jobs’ family doesn’t stop there. Jobs' biological sister, Mona Simpson, is an award winning novelist. What about Jerry Seinfeld? The famous comedian and producer’s father and mother were both Syrian refugees. Last but not least, Paula Abdul. That singer/songwriter was born and raised in Syria, and eventually immigrated to the United States. Looks like we have a lot to owe to

One of the biggest debates among the country is the choice of whether or not to allow Syrian refugees into the United States.

To begin with, Syrians have been challenged, attempting to enter the United States. The Syrians have been struggling to enter the United States because Americans are afraid of the terrorists that very commonly come from Syria and other places in that area. It is not fair because the Syrians are trying to stay safe; in fact, Syrians currently live in a giant war zone. The United States pose Syrians as a threat for mostly one reason and that reason is where they come from. Syrians are being put in a terrible situation they have no control over.

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.

Immigration Issues There is many differences between the issues of Syrian immigration and the immigration of Latino’s in the U.S. First of all, the issues with the Syrian immigrants are way different than the immigration issues with the Latino’s. For example, Syrian people are fleeing their hometown because of a war. The war started in March of 2011, in part of the Arab Spring. Thousands of Syrians fled their country every day. They often decided to finally escape after seeing their neighborhoods bombed or family members’ kills.

Especially that nobody wants to turn away the helpless, especially in a time like this. Nevertheless, we do face a challenge of having to set up a way to make sure that not a single one of the refugees are a detrimental threat to the United States. Another challenge that we do face would be having a system in place to be able to permit each individual a legal documentation that they are in need of to be a citizen of this country. The most reasonable action that we can undergo to allow the Syrian refugees into the country and to administer legal citizenship would be recreating a modern Elis Island at Guantanamo Bay.

Let’s Stretch Out Our Arms to Syrian Refugees Syrian refugees are Syrians who fled their country due to the extreme conditions in their nation. Over 4 million refugees registered to February 2016 to migrate to western countries in search of a better life. However, not all people in those countries are willing to accept them. Republican candidate, Donald Trump, considers refugees as a threat to the US as he wants to “make America great again”. However, I consider aliens beneficial in a country.

The Syrian refugee crisis has been nothing short of an absolute humanitarian catastrophe. The U.S. response to this disaster has been incredibly lackluster. We should be ashamed of what we have allowed to happen. We have allowed innocent people to lose everything and instead of helping, our president has responded with calling for a complete ban of all Muslims coming into the United States.

After the Syrian Civil War in 2011, about 4 million Syrians have left the country. The last refugee crisis of such a magnitude had happened after World War II. Some European countries agreed to to take a few millions of refugees who had bagged for salvation. There were such countries as Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon. SInce the war has begun, the United States accepted over 2,000 refugees and the President Obama gave a word to take more 10,000 in early 2016.

Letting the refugees come into the US gives them shelter and a safer country, but there’s also the possibility of ISIS sneaking their informants and spies into the flow of refugees. Preventing them coming over to the US protects the country, but it also gives the US a bad political reputation (the US is noted as the land of the free and preventing them from coming over here says that the US goes back on their word). As of last November, the House voted 289 to 137 to put a hold on bringing Syrian refugees to the US without more strict screenings on the new arrivals from Syria. This action belittled the trust of some masses in the nation and said,”…it’s hard to see how the president’s obstinacy is good politics. Mr. Obama is not a politician, but an ideologue.”

Remember that countries as successful as the U.S. financially has taken in over 10,000 refugees while a country that is not as successful like Jordan took in around 600,000 refugees which is about 60 times as much as the U.S. accepted. Though some governments are afraid of letting in refugees because of possible terrorist acts because of the refugees, think about how many crimes are committed in the U.S. that are committed by U.S. citizens compared to the amount of crimes committed by a foreigner of the United

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.

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.
