Why Canada Should Receive Refugees

The world is faced with numerous problems. One of them being the vast number of refugees who are trying to seek a safer and healthier environment in which they can stay. Canada has been asked if they could accept some of the refugees into their communities so that the refugees could have a safer place to stay. The question we are debating today is if Canada should accept to take the numerous refugees that are seeking places to stay. I believe that, as a citizen of Canada, we should welcome refugees onto our land and into our communities, as Canadians, we should help them escape. If they are trying to seek refuge in a new place, why would they do something they are really trying to flee from? By accepting the refugees, we are providing them with a shelter and resources to help them become healthy after their past experiences.
Numerous people are lead to believe that by accepting refugees, we are giving them a reason to terrorize our country. By fearing this stereotype, people’s opinions become biased and their opinions get in way of helping those in need. If we, as Canadians, don’t accept these refugees, we are reacting like the rest of the world by not helping those in need just because of their race. People nowadays
seem to believe that since something bad is happening in one part of the world if we help them we are aiding them into terrorising the rest of world. While in reality by supporting their decisions to escape, we are helping them to flee from their current situation.
In the world at the moment we are discussing the Syrian refugees the most because of how bad they need the help.
The Syrian refugees are wanting to escape their country because of the situation that they are currently living. At the moment in Syria, there is a war going on and because of the war, there are town houses, apartment buildings, stores and workplace buildings that are being destroyed. With the town houses and apartment buildings being destroyed, it is causing numerous people to lose their homes and places to live. Buildings and stores that are destroyed take away from the employment which takes away from the income of families and so parents are no longer able to provide sufficient amount of food or clothes for their selves or their
family.
In conclusion, by accepting refugees, we are proving a point that not all people trying to escape from their land are necessarily going to attack and that people can be good when they are trying to flee from wars. By bringing in refugees, we are providing them with a safe environment and new work opportunities. So if you are some of the numerous people against bringing these people to our land then you should consider the facts that if they stay longer in their territory, chances are they’ll become terrorists and attack the people that refused to help them escape.
