I believe that the United States should look for solutions
to help the Syrian refugees. However, taking all of them in the financial
position it is in is not the wisest idea. We as a country would have to pay for
all their needs education, housing, healthcare, food and tutoring for language
which is not the smartest economic risk to take on with all the debt we have.
Also, when you look at how many immigrants would be coming in 200,000 there are
a certain number of criminals coming in. Based off statistics from the United
States for every 100,000: 700 will be charged in some way shape or form for
criminal activity. So by bringing in 200,000 people we would be bringing in
based off statistics 1400 people criminals into our country. I think the even
larger issue is not the criminals one. I do think we have a duty to help others
who are less fortunate in our world. After the Holocaust no country was willing
to take in the Jews which I feel was a mistake and an absolute shame. I think
the Muslim countries in the Gulf and Mediterranean who are rich and we give aid
to should take these people. They are better equipped to handle them and most
of those countries speak Arabic so there would not be a language barrier
stopping from succeeding. I think having the refugees go to these Gulf
countries like and Mediterranean financially stable countries like Saudi Arabia
would better for the United States and the refugees.
Although it is morally right to take in the sick in and the poor, why must America always get involved in affairs across the globe? Our country definitely doesn't have the best financial situation to take them inside our borders. I do think that it is a good thought to look into putting them into other Mediterranean countries that we give million in aid to, if we must get involved.
ReplyDeleteI understand and agree with your hesitation of allowing refugees in our country, but then again you have to look at the fact our country has took an implied oath to take in those in need. That's basically how our countries founders ended up here. But we do have to be cautious of letting in some refugees due to how it will affect criminal activity but how criminology is set up in this country any minority can be a criminal. In all if it gets too bad we should get involved and help the refugees.
ReplyDeleteBringing in refugees that are from countries that are devastated by war is an extremely difficult subject to speak on. I believe you really touched on all of the issues that are arising from this issue. I genuinely think that the United States wouldn't be able to sustain all of the refugees. I think we should get different countries to accept and welcome the refugees in as citizens. By doing this, there will be an evenly distributed community of refugees within many different countries. This will also help out a lot because with less people needing necessities, the country will have more to give to them. I believe this would be the best route to take.
