The Pros And Cons Of Syrian Refugees

Refugees are people suffering from conflict and war and seeking to escape from their misery. They are innocent and don’t want the war to continue. The only way they can escape is through immigration. Furthermore, refugees lose their valuable home, their origin and decide to flee for safety. Every country can pass through such crisis even the U.S.; consequently, foreign countries should act as a unified world since it is an international affair. Discrimination is the only reason for not helping Syrian refugees.

Jessica Elgot (2015) states that “a family of a three-year-old Syrian boy was making a desperate attempt to flee to relatives in Canada even though their asylum application had been rejected, according to reports” (Elgot, 2015, n.p.).

Suppose a sudden war was declared in some country and bombs and bombardments were exploding in the streets; the first thing a refugee would do is gather his family, pack up his minimal provisions just to survive in his journey and flee away from war. And after his miraculous arrival to the borders the security asks him about his papers, it turns out that he forgot them or maybe his house was on fire… but none of these arguments would mean anything to the security, they just don’t understand the tough situation that they dealt with to arrive at this point.

A solution that can suit between the middle is to accept them but under probation, they are provided with food and shelter and isolated from the country in camps until serious inquiries and investigations assure that their record is clean. Children cannot be blamed for accusation, they have to be educated well treated and integrated unless their family

His denial of the fact that refugees are dying and dead bodies of Syrian refugees are being found on the beach caused the head of the Catholic Church in England to attack and press on him to vigorously change his position. Unfortunately, people don’t sense the misery until they see shocking pictures of people dead. Media played a major role on the crisis of Syrian refugees; leaked pictures of a child, who had been found dead on a beach in Turkey shook the world. Germany is beginning to show sympathy on the refugee crisis, and to encourage other countries to do the same thing, by welcoming refugees with no limitations. But shamefully, few responded to their charity transactions. Amanda Taub (2015) said that “The German government expects 800,000 people to seek asylum there this year, and hundreds of thousands more are expected to seek asylum in other European countries. The United States, by contrast, has resettled 1,434 Syrian refugees over the four years since the conflict began (Taub, 2015,
