It isn’t necessarily the developed countries’ responsibility to do anything for the refugees, but wouldn’t it be wrong if they didn’t help and give support to them? There are more than just three nations that hold refugees, but for the sake of this paper, I will include the nations with refugees and why developed countries like America should help them. The commonly known, and top three listed as third world countries are Syria, Somalia, and Iraq and will be included to support my opinion in helping these refugees. Starting off with the most commonly heard of, Syria. The violence spreading through that country has been shared on the news, but I think is seen more on social media.

    Germany, a country 27.5 times smaller than the U.S., has vowed to accept 500,000 Syrian refugees annually- 50 times more than the U.S. has vowed- for as long as possible. Even France, a country recently affected by a terrorist attack, has pledged 12,000 refugees a year (Martinez). In comparison to these, with the size of the U.S. taken into account, our pledge seems embarrassingly inadequate. If America is one of the most powerful countries in the world, we should be playing one of the biggest roles in international crises, especially with our long-standing reputation as a safe haven.…

    TJ Faber Volpe Speech and Debate 30 September, 2016 Debate Entry Essay: “Resolved: The obligation to provide safe haven for refugees should outweigh a government's right to control its borders.” “Syria’s civil war is the worst humanitarian crisis of our time.” (Mercy Corps) Although the Syrian refugee crisis in certainly not the only humanitarian crisis our world had had to face over the course of the modern era, it provides a prime and current example of how countries react to the displacement of millions of individuals. To take on these people at such a rate that would help mitigate a crisis such as the Syrian one, countries have no choice but to weaken their security protocols for immigrants and trust that there isn’t a rouge terrorist…

    Countries have a moral obligation to protect the human rights of refugees. Refugees are people who have been forced from their countries within reasons varying from political unrest, persecution, and war; refugees are people who have been stripped of their human rights. To live in such dreadful environments is a direct violation of Article Three from The Universal Declaration of Human Rights: “the right to life, liberty and security” as well as Article Twenty-two, which is “the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation” (The United Nations 1948). Take for example the story of Yusra Mardini, a refugee: somewhere along the coast of Greece and Turkey, twenty people are crowded on a tattered boat, trying to reach asylum across the Mediterranean Sea. All the sudden, the motor begins to quiet.…
