The Syrian refugee crisis is big, and is big news around the world. On Thursday, it became a reality in the United States, as the White House announced a decision to accept up to 10,000 Syrian refugees in the next fiscal year. The middle eastern countries should be the only ones dealing with this crisis. I understand the feeling of needing to help out Europe with the mass amounts of people, however at this time it is extremely dangerous to expect any of these people into the United States. The problem is we have no way of documenting these people or knowing who they are. The border should be completely closed to all Syrian refugees, and I am very surprised that they have not been, especially with the recent attacks. At the very most women and very young children should be the only ones allowed into the country, as they act as a lesser threat of potential terrorism. With the decision of excepting 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States, it puts all American lives at danger.
I agree with you. I am glad we are helping out these people since they have been through a crisis, however it is dangerous to trust really anyone at this point.
ReplyDeleteI think we could reach a happy medium somehow on this issue instead of completely closing up to these crisis stricken people, and not putting our country in danger.

It is a complicated situation. I feel like it is morally right to help those in need however it potentially puts our own country in danger.
