The United States should have taken more Syrian Refugees

Today, many Syrian inhabitants run away from their land in order to get better life. They escape to what they hope is their land of prospects, hold a stable job, where they can settle and live a long life. The Syrian inhabitants together with other refugees all left their home countries like most immigrants, with totally nothing in their pockets. Majority of the immigrants who came from Middle East were escaping ISIS from attacking their villages.” (The Washington Times. 03 Dec. 2014.). Syrian immigrants risk their lives as they try to live a better one in foreign country. Often we associate the American Dream imagery to the American thoughts of freedom, equality, and success in life, and that has been something Syrian immigrants are trying to find out. Syrian refugees are trying to escape from ISIS where people die in the streets and families that cannot make enough money to put food on the table. The United States should therefore accommodate more Syrian Refugees

After the terrorist attack on September 11th, 2001 many people saw immigrants as a threat. But even before that, people still never accepted immigrants. In the early 80s, Irish immigrants were seen as idle drunkards and as the years passed, there was a different wave of “new immigrants”, According to Greaves, Jacob. (2012.) Italians, Russian, Asians, and Middle Easters were seen as a danger to our American life and culture”. Today the same fears are there concerning immigrants from Latin America and Asia. Hence the fear became stronger. Many of us held that fear against immigrants who came here to start a new life. That fear has turned to hatred throughout the years in most of the people. But it is time for Americans to change their perspective about immigrants and Syrian. They’re not the enemy that many of us think they are.

The Syrian mass migration cause fear of Islamic terrorists advancing here. But individuals who trek many miles by walking or pack into elastic flatboats for sea voyages normally are not terrorist. (Greece 2014). They do it to run away from viciousness and radicalism and not to spread it. We have known how to discern and handle this trial, having as of now accepted more than 100,000 Iraqis. In many occasion, the U.S. government doesn't just wave in any individual who requests for shelter. It has a thorough system to screen out crooks, jihadists, and various undesirables. Applicants need to demonstrate a solid apprehension of mistreatment or torment back home. "It's extremely particular," Eskinder Negash, senior VP for global engagement at USCRI.

Syrian are just poor people who ran to us for shelter because they couldn’t find any in their country. Many immigrants move here for different reasons; some are looking for a better life to raise their children; some are running away from a war that’s in their country. For example, many Syrian children were sent here because of the war that is occurring in their country. And some just moved here for some freedom. For example, in some countries women aren’t allowed to work, drive or own their money; so many moved here for some freedom. However, the reason why illegal immigrants came to the advanced country is not just because they want to live a better life in a better country, but also because their country does not have the capacity to offer them enough prospects and successes.

“All men are created equally” that is a phrase that many of us have either used or heard about before, but how often do we mean it? If all men are equal why are immigrants still facing criticism for being strangers? Many immigrants have fear of not belonging and they hence try their best to fit in with our culture and lifestyle. But no matter how hard they try, we still see them as outsiders even though we’re the ones who invited them to come to our country. Immigrants have helped us thrive and become one of the top diverse countries in the world.

Many of us see them as a threat because they take jobs from native citizens. But just think about who takes the jobs that many of us don’t want to do and who starts new businesses that help reduce our rates of unemployment, it’s immigrants. They have foregone a lot to get here and worked in hard jobs just to assist their families live here. They have worked in factories, nannies, in construction, waiters, loading trucks and many other unwanted jobs. Imagine if there was no one to take on these jobs what would have happened to our economy? Dulce Pinzćon shows us in his article, (Dec. 2014.). The Real Story of the Superheroes example pictures taken of different Mexican workers working different jobs in New York. The reason he shows us these pictures is to highlight how many Mexican immigrants take on jobs that pay less and they send all that money to their families back in Mexico so that they can survive.

Immigration is truly an important policy to United State. (Borer2012). The migration challenge does not call for charity but for instinctual human decency. It is everyone’s job to try to control and help. Opening the borders to the Syrian refugees is equally important, although it is also important to solve the main causes of the problem right in Syria, over throwing the Assad regime, ISIL, and other terrorism groups. Compassion is important but not enough, because at some point we will run out of international aid or there might be no more Syrian generations to come and no more Syria; a country that once thrived in its region
