“American taxpayers will spend more than $4.1 billion in the 2017 budget to support the 519,018 refugees who have been resettled by the federal government in the United States.” Breitbart Home is defined as a place where one lives permanently. Instead of putting Americans at risk, why not send the same enthusiasm over to their homeland. Many refugees would not have to start over a whole new life for what many Americans work their whole lives for. For example, a steady job and a nice home. The United states can send troops with the resources needed to build the refugees back up rather than putting American citizens at risk.

    A study done by the Public Policy Institute of California showed that 36% of first generation immigrants had not graduated high school. This study shows that immigrants have a very rough start and refugees across the country struggle to live good and solid lives. As soon as the refugees get here we are leaving them all on their own with minimal direction or instruction to go by. Just imagine yourself being dropped into an unknown country most likely not knowing the language and having no clue what anything is. This feeling is how refugees coming to the U.S. feel, and most live in complete poverty for their whole lives. We need to give these refugees a good start in their new homes, and make sure they are being successful.

    Today, most Americans would consider themselves pretty open minded. This country was built on the hard work of immigrants, and therefore should empathize with the plight of refugees. However, this is not the case. America seems to fear the influx of immigrants and refugees. Perhaps even more controversial, is that government workers seem to share that mindset. In my opinion, while the UNHCR does provide some help, they are not doing enough.

(Miliband, 2016) The UNHRC is the international body that serves as a gateway to resettlement while receiving nations maintain their own security, vetting and resettlement processes.

    Without remembering their morals, American citizens will lose sight of the United States’s goal of freedom for everybody, even Syrian refugees. Currently, the number of U.S. immigrants and their native born children is about 80 million people, which is over a quarter of our population (Zong). Therefore, if the country can accept all of those former immigrants and their children, why can they not accept a mere ten thousand Syrian immigrants, which would only account for.004% of America’s existing population (Gambino 2)?

  • Addressing the Syrian Refugee Crisis: An American Perspective

    Twelve million. That is the number of people currently affected by the crisis in Syria. Yet, we have Americans all over the country, republicans in particular, turning their cheeks to this ongoing disaster. The main question present in the media and politics today is—Should America let the Syrian refugees in? But I think the real question to be asking is, “Why not let the Syrian refugees in?” America is supposed to be the pinnacle of freedom. America is supposed to be the “melting pot” of the world. So why are we even questioning the very roots from which we came? Most Americans claim that all of these people are Muslims and that they are ISIS in disguise. Americans claim these people are a threat to their freedom and national security. I could maybe see where some Americans are coming from if all of these refugees were Muslims, and if all Muslims were part of ISIS. But they are not, so the only issue I see here is white supremacy and a little bit of ethnocentrism. I, as an American, believe we should allow these people into our country and in no way at all do I feel like my life is at risk because of this. Every generation has had their bad run-in with

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. The United States is historically notorious for wanting to remain isolated during certain global events such as each world war. However, the United States began to create and build on refugee
