Immigrants and refugees from other countries should be allowed the right to enter a country, regardless of what country they come from. Refugees bring about debates, but from one particular country seem to bring about the most debates and it is Syria and other middle eastern countries. The reason for these debates is because of the area, which these refugees come from countries where terrorist groups are also in Syria and other middle eastern countries. “Everyday Canadians spent a year embracing Syrians in the world’s most personal resettlement program.(Jodi Kantor and Catrin Einhorn)” Canada helps these Syrian and the other middle eastern refugees regardless of the area they come from, but America is not so willing to accept these refugees …show more content…

The ban has also changed the vetting process, which in turn makes it harder for the Syrian and other middle eastern refugees. These innocent refugees are being turned away from the one country they really want to relocate to and the country is the United States. “Syrian refugee Mohammed Mohanna has been stuck for three years in Turkey, where he said that “it is very hard to live as an openly gay man.(Alan Gomez)” Mohammed wanted to access the United States in hopes to be able to live in a country that does not harass their people for their sexuality. The United States is a place that gives people like these refugees hope, because where they come from hope is not even in their vocabulary. Refugees need hope, they need a place that makes them feel safe, and a place where they can live in peace and no one judges them based on their sexuality and religious beliefs. To these people the United States is that place. Syrian and other middle eastern refugees want sanctuary of the home they come from that is a war zone. These refugees wish to be able to get away from the tyrants and the terrorist that are attacking and killing them.

    The United States fails to protect its borders, while Australia sacrifices human rights in order to do so. Traditionally, first-world countries and their citizens assist those in less developed countries. Many of the island nations in the south pacific suffer from poverty and frequent natural disasters. Most would agree that, as the most developed country in the region, it is Australia’s responsibility to advocate for human rights and contribute to humanitarian efforts for the island nations. To its credit, Australia normally satisfies this role. However, when asylum-seekers come by boat, Australia draws a forceful line. The United States is also tasked with protecting its borders, but takes a more appropriate approach. In 2012, the PEW research

    Making sure everyone has equal rights and freedom is crucial to people's lives. Accepting people into our country shouldn't be based on their skin color or religion, but their criminal record and if they could truly be a threat to us. In fact the immigration and nationality act of 1965 says, you cannot discriminate an immigrants visa based on their gender, race, place of birth, or nationality(Bier, 2017)."We cannot allow terrorists to intimidate us into abandoning our values and humanitarian obligations"(Clinton). These refugees are trying to get away from the same terrorists that we are facing, so why force them to stay in their country where their lives could be at stake? The U.S immigration laws are what kept the Frank family from coming into America, and look how terribly they were treated.

At the same time I am also conflicted because the U.S. stands for freedom and the right to live your life how you please. Would the U.S. be living up to the standards of “Liberty and Justice for all” if we denied undocumented citizens their basic human rights?

    While Syrian refugees are often labeled as terrorists, they are actually the opposite. Through research, - Lauren Gambino, Patrick Kingsley, and Alberto Nardelli - three writers from an English Newspaper, “The Guardian”, have found interesting results. They admit, “Syrian refugees are generally afraid of exactly the same thing that Americans are: Islamist terrorism” (Gambino 3). Considering that the Syrians are seeking an escape from the same exact thing that Americans are, why have they not been accepted into America? Like many of the 70,000 refugees who are accepted into the United States every year, Syrian refugees search for shelter from wars and hope of a prosperous future (Welsh 1). Teresa Welsh, a writer for the “U.S. News and World Report”, describes in her article “Why the U.S. Can’t Resettle Syrian Refugees” that “the U.S. should be doing more to help resettle those fleeing conflict and repressive governments in the Middle East and Asia” (Welsh 1). The Syrians desire escape from a repressive government with no chance of rebuilding a better future; therefore, they seek support from outside countries, like the United States and other European

    A family, living in a war-torn country, is uprooted from their home and community due to a variety of reasons such as political unrest, famine, and threat danger. This family flees their country in order to seek safety in a neighboring, more stable country. These people are considered refugees. Refugees are not travelers or immigrants because they are displaced due to some devastating reason, whether that is war or persecution. Other countries extend money, resources, and even their land to help resettle refugees out of political and humanitarian obligation.
