President Obama recently declared that the U.S. will accept 10,000 refugees from Syria. The U.S. has been under pressure from its Syrian allies to help out with the crisis in which 3 Million refugees have fled Syria in the past year. Those in favor of accepting refugees believe that the U.S. has a duty to join its allies in Europe and accept at least 10,000 refugees. Opponents argue that the U.S. should stay out of this crisis and accepting refugees from the Middle East leads to a risk of letting terrorists into our borders.
Yes, always try to help the needed.

We can accept the refugees from Syria if it's allocated to the budget and can help them to start their lives here in our country. Don't accept them if the government is not ready to commit in their needs in everyday. We must take a responsibility for the refugees and not accepting them if our country has no budget and not yet ready to take an action.
Ensure country's capacity for humane living conditions and sufficient social support first
@8VWL4XS3yrs3Y
send assistance to partner countries who are accepting refugees
no, because the government cant even sustain the needs of its people.
Yes, they just want a normal life.
Only if the country can provide for the refugees. But I guess for now, our country is overpopulated. It would be hard.
Yes, as long as they don't degrade our country's culture and tradition.
@8RQXF9G3yrs3Y
No, Our country is already overpopulated and now you're telling me that we should add more, for what reasons? Why should we add more? To answer these questions, we should not 'add more' in the first place. It would add more problems for whoever's the next President
The government should improve the country first.
It depends on their desicions
No, the government should prioritize its own people first before considering this.
@8LKW3M53yrs3Y
Yes, we may however we should only accept kids and less people that wouldn't overcrowd the population.
@8CGHLJCDemocratic4yrs4Y
yes, as long as the country are able to provide for the refugees
@93WVTRT2yrs2Y
Divide them equally with others countries. Why should my taxes have to pay for 100% of refugees? Europe should divide refugees between all of their countries and the u s could take a certain percentage.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, we should help make safe zones in their country.
@93MFRG22yrs2Y
They should be settled in countries close to Syria that have the same kind of culture and language as them.
@93HTZPV2yrs2Y
No, we should send refugees to closer countries.
@93G2RP72yrs2Y
Yes, but the government should spend any money on getting them to the United States or taking care of them
@8T9D7X52yrs2Y
Yes, but if only they are threatened non-Muslim minorities like Assyrians or Druze.
@93DSRN92yrs2Y
Yes, but with reasonable background checks.
@9375CQF2yrs2Y
yes, with extreme background checks
@9375CLT2yrs2Y
yes, with intense background check.
@92ZYZRW2yrs2Y
Yes but only if they have proof of identity.
@9334YP32yrs2Y
Yes, but only heterosexual cisgender Christians.
@932YGD72yrs2Y
Yes, but with circumstances that allow them to become legal citizens or stay on a visa.
@92ZLLSS2yrs2Y
background checks are important but i don’t think extensible and continuous checks and monitoring are necessary; if they are clear the first or second time, then surely they’re okay
@92YTSSF2yrs2Y
Yes with background checks, and other careful ways of looking into their reason.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, we should accept 10,000 refugees but only after extensive background checks.
@92MTVGV2yrs2Y
yes, but only as many as we can help
@92MDVFR2yrs2Y
Asylum? Yes. Finance their expenses once they arrive in America? No. We currently have hundreds of thousands of homeless citizens in the USA, so funding foreign nationals seeking refugee status within our borders needs to be addressed by the private sector, not the government.
@92K4VXS2yrs2Y
U.S. can only take in so many so we could take some but not all.
@92GWJXX2yrs2Y
No, make safe zones in their own country so they don't destroy ours.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, set up free zones there instead.
@9284RDV2yrs2Y
Yes, b ut not without a comperehnsive agenda which will promote integration, equity, and equal protections
@st606450782yrs2Y
Yes, and accept refugees from Ukraine and Russia.
@8YWHYGD2yrs2Y
Yes, and accept refugees from Ukraine and Russia, as well.
@924BCN42yrs2Y
Yes, on a part time visa until their country is safe to go back to
@8ZTRY8J2yrs2Y
only accept if they are not going to mean us any harm and must come in the right way
@8T9KVZK2yrs2Y
Yes, but they should be treated like any other group of immigrants and chain migration should be disallowed
@8ZMJ5W62yrs2Y
It truly depends on the situation
@8ZH59GG2yrs2Y
Yes as long as they go through the same immigration process and background checks as the rest of the immigrates.
@8ZGZ4DL2yrs2Y
it all depends. do a thorough background check
@85QWNPG2yrs2Y
Yes, we should accept some refugees from every country in crisis, but it is more important that we make sure these individuals are not harmful radicals and therefor they should be held in neighboring sympathtetic territories until that can be assertained to the best of our ability.
@8ZDTRL72yrs2Y
Yes, let in 10,000 refugees every 5 months and with loyalty testing.
@8ZCJJ3R2yrs2Y
YES, America is great because of immigration, Imagine if the Native Americans had been able to turn away the first settlers, where would we be?
@JWeissflog2yrs2Y
No have other nations closer to Syria that are part of the UN should first accept the refugees
@ThomasJJ992yrs2Y
No, make safe zones in Syria instead.
@RickStewart2yrs2Y
We should accept refugees from any country where our actions created the refugees. If our country did not, we have no moral obligation to accept refugees, but we should strive to be magnanimous when we are able.
