Recommended: Solutions in place to protect refugees

The world is changing every day. In many parts, it’s gone from bad to worse, especially in the Middle East. War and famine has plagued places such as Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran. Thousands are forced to leave their homes and search for a new place to start over. To escape the horror they are forced to face every day, refugees are fleeing to neighboring countries. Countries are upset of the overcrowding they've caused and are pushing for harsher laws to keep them out, which is really unnecessary and can lead to even bigger problems with other countries. To help them, instead of enforcing strict laws and giving them so much hate, we can help stop the wars they are desperate to get away from and help restore their homelands. The Syrian Civil war started in March of 2011. Over 220,000 people have died since then. The …show more content…

This crisis is getting out of hand, because we've never had so many people displaced out of their homes in a very long time. They have to flee to other countries, fearing their safety but there they face so much discrimination and hate every day by others, but all they want is a safe place for them and their families. Enforcing harsh laws to keep them out is pointless, especially since borders are manmade so everyone should be allowed where safety is permitted. The Middle East is a beautiful place to visit, but not so much when most of it is in destruction. We can all help by donating anything we can to organizations that help rebuild the homelands of the refugees. We can also voice our opinions to the government so they can see that the damage they’ve done is enough. People can make campaigns and help refugees be comfortable at the place they’re at and the people they’re surrounded with at the moment. Everyone deserves a good place to live without any worries, especially for the blooming

    Empathy is not always easy to achieve. Currently as a nation we are debating whether or not we should allow the Syrian refugees into our country. After the attack on Paris and the ISIS threat against America next, it is easy to see why Americans would not want to let Syrian refugees into our country. It is a difficult decision to make, especially since most of the refugees are women and children. These refugees are trying to escape the terrors and wars that are going on in their home country. However, United States officials must remain cautious with who we are letting into our country at this time. Many citizens are nervous to let so many people into our country. The challenge that the United States officials face is if we

    The number of refugees fleeing the conflict in Syria and Iraq to neighbouring countries has now passed four million, confirming this to be the world's largest refugee crisis for almost a quarter of a century under the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) mandate. The UNHCR has observed that Syria and Iraq’s only hope is the humanity shown by the neighbouring countries in welcoming and saving the lives of refugees. Canada must step up to this global challenge and assist Middle Eastern and European countries in resettling refugees. Complacence and inaction will lead to the loss of more lives, and further tarnish our humanitarian values and reputation at home and abroad. As Canadians we think of ourselves as a haven for refugees,

    There are some issues, that our country has to solve. There are many that suffer from this and we must change it, that there will be less, that will have to suffer.That issue is that we're rejecting refugees from entering our country once again. Remember the Holocaust? Its many suffering Jewish refugees that wanted to go to America were rejected due to strict and harsh immigration laws, and now it's happening again with Syrians, which is also partly our fault. We once refused people who needed our help, even though it is partly our fault that they are suffering. In the story," The diary of Anne Frank" it taught me how terrible a war torn country can be, especially for the ones who are getting targeted by the enemies. Now it is happening in Syria and we once again are in the same predicament. It's only not just the U.S.A's responsibility to help Syria I also think it is also the other countries who are not involved with the civil war's responsibility to help the Syrian refugees, it's only humane to help others who

  • The Syrian Refugee Crisis

    A refugee is defined as an individual who has been forced to leave their country due to political or religious reasons, or due to threat of war or violence. There were 19.5 million refugees worldwide at the end of 2014, 14.4 million under the mandate of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), around 2.9 million more than in 2013. The other 5.1 million Palestinian refugees are registered with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). With the displacement of so many people, it is difficult to find countries willing to accept all the refugees. There are over 125 different countries that currently host refugees, and with this commitment comes the responsibility of ensuring these refugees have access to the basic requirements of life; a place to live, food to eat, and a form of employment or access to education. Currently, the largest cause of refugees is the Syrian civil war, which has displaced over 2.1 million people. As a country of relative wealth, the United States should be able to provide refuge for many refugees, as well as provide monetary support to the refugees that they are not able to receive.

As a result, several countries have criticized the lack of interest that  U.S.has in helping to relieve  the Syrian refugees crisis which is creating chaos in Europe and in the Middle East region since these countries have felt overwhelmed of the immense number of refugees  trying to cross their borders illegally in order to flee from the war and from ISIS.  Although the Obama Administration had pledged to harbor a larger number of refugees in order to alleviate the pressure of our allies in Europe, the Trump’s administration has passed several bills banning future refugees from entry. Therefore, the U.S. has failed with its moral obligation to welcome refugees, protect the human right, and provide a safety place for the victims of tyranny and

  • The Refugee Situation: Refugees In The United States

    A refugee is a person who has run away from his or her home country in fear of persecution because of their race, religion, or social group. Most refugees come from the Middle East because of the wars there. Currently, only about ten countries are accepting refugees, including Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and the U.S. Every day, Europe gains 8,000 more refugees. The only problem is, what will those countries do with them? The refugees have little or no education, they don’t speak the country’s native language, and have no money. This study suggests that although refugees can pose a possible terrorist threat, we should help them in their situation, because they are running from persecution. Refugees are no different than us and need to be protected.
