Syrian Refugees Research Paper

I believe that we should still be allowing immigrants into the United States. I understand that people are very concerned on us letting in ISIL members into the U.S. Yes, there is a risk but we can not let Syrian Refugees suffer just because we have a concerns for our safety. In the U.S. we have white American raised terrorist. It’s not like we are having the same risks we have before. I understand ISIL has made huge attacks recently but we could currently have ISIL members in the U.S from when they previously entered the country.

Although we do have a threat of letting terrorist groups like ISIL in it does not mean we have to not allow Syrian refugees in. Some of the people needing to come into the United States have no home, no family,
are children or women. Denying them access to a safer place seems very cruel to me. Before in history we have been immigrants safe haven and changing that will not have a good outcome. Do I think we need higher security? Well, I don’t exactly know what I think about that but, what I do know that is if we raise security standards we need to raise the security standards for everyone and not just Muslims. Honestly right now we have a risk too of terrorist attacks from white Americans.
Recently there was a shooting at a planned parenthood, the man who shot at it was white and American raised. Obama recently said that we need to ally with Muslim people. ISIL only wants us to deny people into our country so then they have to return to Syrian states only for ISIL members to say that we don’t care about them. ISIL wants other countries to start denying access to Syrian refugees. I do appreciate that Governor Inslee would like to continue accepting Syrian refugees. Relating to what I said earlier about the U.S being the safe haven to those who need to flee a dangerous country in Jay Inslee’s report he says “The American character is being tested. Will we hew to our long tradition of being a beacon of hope for those chased from their homelands?”. We almost have a responsibility of allowing immigrants to come into our country. We are the land of the free, we need to make sure that other people have the opportunity to escape bad situations and be able to feel safe. He also said “...fleeing war and persecution rebuild their lives. Today, nearly 70,000 Vietnamese-Americans live in Washington, and they have added to our quality of life in countless ways.” I really like what he said because we allow other immigrants fleeing war in before
so we need to be here for Syrian refugees and allow them to again, feel safe and also just feel free. They want to not be scared, they want to be able to go to sleep at night without the thought that they could be killed waking up tomorrow morning. They aren’t able to even think about doing that though until they can come to a safer country. I disagree a lot with many things Governor Kasich had said. Yes, he is concerned for America safety but, I can not condone allowing innocent people to suffer because we are too scared to help them. Think about how terrified refugees must be.

For the reasons above I believe we should be allowing Syrian refugees into the U.S. I believe with a passion that we have a duty to allow these people to come to a free country that they can feel safe. They are not the terrorist, ISIL does not represent Muslims. We need to be that safe haven. We need to help in a time of need.
