Syrian Refugees Research Paper

Syria’s civil war is the worst humanitarian crisis of modern time. The “Syrian Civil war Began in March of 2011, between rebel brigades and government force; economy and infrastructure is destroyed” (Library, 2016). “Divisions between secular and religious fighters, and between ethnic groups, continue to complicate the politics of the conflict” (Corps, 2016). Additionally, the Syrian civil war has taken a significant

The issue of whether or not allowing the Syrian refugees continue to enter the United States have became a popular issue after the terrorist attack in Paris on November 13th. In my opinion, I think U.S should still remain allowing the Syrian refugees to start a new life in America. Following two reasons can best explain my point of view.

“Of the 12 GOP candidates actually polling, 7 have come out against Syrian refugees outright, 3 want to ‘pause’ their admission, and Jeb Bush and Cruz make special allowances for Christian Syrians” (Time). Bush and Cruz’s call to just allow Christian Syrians in is unfair because Syria is made up primarily of Muslims and the First Amendment of the US Constitution allows for the freedom of religion. It is one of the first rights Americans are given so America cannot discriminate against Muslim refugees. One may argue that the majority of terrorists are Muslims but the terrorist organizations such as ISIS that use their religion to justify their actions are not true worshippers of Islam. Islam is a peaceful religion and extremists are warping the religion. As long as the US properly screens the refugees for possibly threats to American society, the religion of the refugee should not be a factor in determining whether they are admitted or not. Moreover the politicians have been telling the public incorrect information in order to make the risk of terrorism seem worse than it is. Presidential candidate Ben Carson claimed that Obama was allowing the refugees in by way of executive order but that is wrong. Obama submitted a proposal to Congress because it is the duty of the president to do so every year. In terms of the number of refugees, Carson and other political candidates Donald Trump and Carly Fiorina exaggerated. “Trump, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina repeatedly have claimed that the Obama administration plans to accept anywhere from 100,000 to 250,000 Syrian refugees” (FactCheck.org). Their over exaggerations have caused Americans to be even more wary of allowing the refugees in because they fear that these refugees with take their jobs, raise prices on healthcare, etc.

Syrian refugees coming to America to escape prosecution in the middle east and the how hard it is for them to get in and live in America . According to last years article by the Homeland Security Committee, “More than four million Syrians refugees have fled the conflict zone in their home country, contributing to the largest global refugee crisis since World War II”(Homeland). The recent cause for so many syrians to migrate to america is to escape the conflict going on in their country. Since so many refugees are migrating to america and because of the recent wars and attacks people are having mixed feeling on letting them in. In a Homeland Security article “Warnings have been mounting that isis is focused on deploying operative to the was

In recent polls, fifty three percent of Americans are claiming that the United States should not accept any more Syrian refugees. After the recent attacks on Pairs, many Americans have begun to grow more fearful and doubtful of allowing Syrians into the borders of their country. One of the large reasons behind the denial of the refugees is because of their religion. While some say that Islam

On November 13, 2015, the terrorist attack that shook Paris, France, generated an abundance of negative responses from American politicians about how the Obama administration was handling plans with the incoming Syrian refugees. With the news that one of the attackers may have been Syrian, American politicians were quick to question the potential risk that members of ISIS may be disguising themselves amongst the thousands of Syrian refugees the Obama administration hoped would safely enter United States territory. But, instead of providing solutions to strengthen the United States’ screening procedures already set into place, fearful elected officials responded with an immediate proposal similar to that of President Roosevelt’s Executive Order

Syrian refugees suffered and lost a lot until they reached the nearest nation that accepts them. They are seeking safety and a simple, honorable life for their families. There are many difficulties they faced because their rejection from the Arab countries the neighbor of their country and the countries of the world. Syrian crisis is not only Syrian people's problem, but is everyone's problem included US, Europe, Middle East, UN. We all should help these innocent people and save them from the despotic ruler and the civil war. They are human being and they deserve to live their lives just like us. I interested in this topic because I was a refugee just like them, and we had a similar crisis, I feel their situation. We escaped from the war and

The Syrian civil war has created a worldwide refugee crisis and even though various countries are currently trying to help Syrians, many countries are still refusing to even let them in. A recent Bloomberg Politics poll, conducted last week after the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, "found that 53 percent of Americans don’t want to accept any Syrian refugees; 11 percent said they would only accept Christian refugees from Syria" (Bremmer). American political figures are also opposed to the acceptance of Syrians into the States with Ted Cruz stating that he wants to ban Muslim Syrian refugees from entering the U.S. Ben Carson also “has used a particularly offensive analogy to rabid dogs when explaining why he is against letting in Syrian refugees.

As a result, there was a full blown war between the government and rebels including the Free Syrian Army. Throughout the past five years, there has been 220,000 casualties due to the violation of people’s rights and bombings in overpopulated cities. Families are struggling to make ends meet in Syria, while million put their lives on the line seeking shelter in neighboring countries in Europe. In Lebanon 1 in 5 people are a Syrian refugees and 1 in 13 people in Jordan are Syrian refugees. People have traveled to Turkey, Iraq, and Europe to find a path away from the dreadful condition in Syria. Over 100 million of these Syrian refugees share one thing. Each and every one of them want a second

In March of 2011, the Syrian civil war caused what is known to be one of the worst humanitarian crisis in the Middle East. No one would have thought that the civil war would cause the Syrian refugee crisis to escalate to millions of people escaping the perilous conditions over the course of 4 years. For neighboring countries, this is a major concern because over 23 million of Syria's population is in dire need of help. Hundreds of thousands of refugees are risking their lives escaping from Syria and traveling to neighboring countries such as Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, and the United States. The United States is more than capable of funding Syrians that make their way over here, but the cap as to how many Syrians

Whether or not the United States should be admitting more Syrian refugees into the country is a constant debate among people. Syrian refugee lives are just as important as American citizens lives and for this reason, the United States has a responsibility to help. The U.S. is one of the wealthiest countries in the world and can contribute by providing sizable financial, humanitarian, and medical aid for Syrian refugees. While Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt have been hosting Syrian refugees since the beginning of the Syrian Civil War in 2011, these neighboring countries shouldn’t have to face this issue alone. Many super power countries have offered no help for the refugees. To be more efficient in helping Syrian refugees, they should be resettled in the United States and other major wealthy superpower countries. Contrary to opposing beliefs, admitting more Syrian refugees does not increase terrorism. We need to come to an immediate agreement as human lives are in danger. Provided that the United States aids in welcoming Syrian refugees, perhaps other major superpowers, such as Japan, Russia, and Singapore will follow suit and offer help. Until a solution to the Syrian conflict is found, we as human beings are responsible for helping each other during a time of such turmoil.

The refugee crisis has a large impact on Europe economically and socially this has caused thousands of deaths to the refugees coming from Syria and many other countries in Europe. The refugee crisis has many different pros and cons that cause several major perspectives of the refugees that are commonly unskilled and not socially accepted for their economy.

The year is 2011 and war is tearing the country of Syria apart. The people have had enough and begin to run to their neighboring countries of Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq (Rogers, "Syria: The story of the conflict - BBC News"). More than four million refugees fled to these lands and thousands more fled to other countries. Now in 2015 the refugee count is up to over 4,000,000 refugees along with more refugees crossing in European Union member states (Rogers, "Syria: The story of the conflict - BBC News"). Now these European countries face the issue of holding more population than the government was designed to provide for. The crisis of the refugees is also beginning to spread to the United States. Michigan is willing to open its doors to more than 10,000 Syrian refugees. Although the idea of showing kindness to our neighbors is presented by these nations, the holding of refugees is effecting the everyday lives of the people and the economies of the countries.

In March 2011, peaceful protests in the southern Syrian city of Deraa devolved into a full-blown civil conflict. Within the last five years, more than 12.2 million people have been impacted, with 7.6 million people displaced inside Syria and more than 3.8 million displaced in neighboring nations. The majority of refugees are now living in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt and Iraq. The current concern about the humanitarian crisis is whether the aid is reaching refugees or being diverted in ways that bolster a prolonged civil war. For this essay’s purpose, aid is defined as “aid and action designed to save lives, alleviate suffering and maintain and protect human dignity during and in the aftermath of man-made crises and natural disasters, as well as to prevent and strengthen preparedness for the occurrence of such situations.”
