President Obama is under increasing pressure to demonstrate that
the United States is joining European nations in the joining to resettle Syrian
refugees, it has been said that administration to take in at least 10,000
displaced Syrians over the next year. the White House press secretary said in a
briefing Thursday that while administration was continuing to examine responses
to the refugee crisis that has overwhelmed Europe in recent days, the president
has decided to raise the number of Syrian refugees admitted into the United
states.
I understand how President Obama is trying
to keep a good relationship with the European nations by admitting Syrian
refuges to the U.S; however by doing this it puts our people at a greater risk
of terrorism. A good question is why the Middle East is not doing anything to
help with the crisis of their own people. President Obama must be very cautious
about letting anyone into our country from the Middle East at this time,
especially in mass amounts. All these people could be innocent families that
are just looking for a better home, or they could be the next generation
terrorist just waiting for the right moment to strike. The problem is we have
absolutely no way of knowing who the innocent are, and who is not.
I agree that President Obama must indeed be extremely cautious. I do not want to assume that those who will be coming into the United States are terrorists. They could very much be desperate families looking for an opportunity to live a safe live. However, there is a strong possibility of terrorists taking advantage of the administration into the U.S. Madeline Jones 4th period
