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

We can help put an end to this now. Learn from our mistakes and do what we know is the humane thing to do. They say that the United States regretted not letting Jewish refugees in sooner. By the time they did, it was too late for millions of people. If we put aside our fears, we can help save so many people. They’re lives depend on these decisions. Their lives and the American citizens’ lives are at risk. It’s all about taking chances and trying to see the best in people.

The refugees will die without us. Terrorist are already a threat to America, so why not take a chance on a minimal to risk to save what could’ve been millions of

  • Canada's Response To The Syrian Refugee Crisis

    635 Words  | 2 Pages

    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,

    As the Arab Spring enters its second year, major uprisings and revolts have occurred all over the Middle East, pushing for an end to the corrupt autocratic rule and an expansion of civil liberties and political rights. Most recently, images from Syria have emerged, depicting the government’s use of force to suppress the voice of its people. One might ask, “Is this the beginning of a revolution? Is the country on the path to democracy?” To assess this question and examine the future trends in the region, one must look back on the country’s somewhat tumultuous history, the relationship between the citizens and the state, and the political economy.

    Another casual night: the air is sticky, and the water is scarce, all throughout the country the sound of gunshots are ringing through the air. For most people, this “casual” night is beyond their wildest imagination, but for Syrians it is an ongoing nightmare. Faced with the trauma of a civil war, Syrian refugees seek protection and a more promising future than the life they currently live in their oppressive country. Many seek refuge in other Middle East countries like Turkey and Jordan, but others search for hope in the icon of freedom, the United States of America. However, in America, there is an ongoing debate about whether or not Syrian refugees should be accepted. America needs to accept the Syrian refugees because if they do not, the

    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

    government reluctantly has accepted to open its door to only 18,000 Syrian refugees through the last years. 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

Many state leaders have opposing viewpoints and varying solutions to the crisis that is plaguing their region and as a result there has been little to no actions taken to solve this ever growing problem. This crisis should serve as prime example of global cooperation, and it should highlight the ability to come together internationally and deal with important problems that affect all individuals.
