America, Syrian Refugees and ISIL
America has struggled for many years with terrorists, but now the fear of terrorists has risen. For many, there are no ties of terrorism and Syrian refugees; others say that the terrorists have nothing to do with Syria. As you read this I will explain the past and where it has brought the refugees, why we should not support the entrance, but also continue to explain the view of other who are pro entrance of the refugees.
It has been estimated that 9 million Syrians have departed their homeland due to the outbreak of civil war in March of 2011. ("Timeline." Syrian Refugees.Web.1 Dec. 2015.) Those who fled have faced disease and struggled to take in basic needs for their families. After much movement, many refugees decided to settle in places near their homeland, like Jordan and Turkey. Others have taken the opportunity to live in Europe. A recent report, from Dr. Ben Carson's visit to Jordan to meet up with the refugees, say that the refugees would like to return home safely to their homeland.

We can move them to an American controlled territory, or simply send then supplies and a troop or two of our army to protect them. By helping the refugees from a distance instead of directly on American soil, we can keep America safer than if we were to let them in. The process to accept refugees is very lengthy and detailed, but for someone that really wants in just to bomb America or even train people to do it for ISIL can still get through. These terrorists, to remind you, do have Syrian passports. As for background checks, we don't have over half of these people's backgrounds. Even if a refugee has a background, it wouldn't mean that they weren't with

    Refugees should be deterred; they provoke social apprehension, they weaken the economy, and they surface concern regarding terrorism and crime. They make people uncomfortable and make people nervous. Refugees should be deterred because they take skilled jobs and receive all of the money that other people need. People as a whole seem to think all muslims are terrorist; people think muslims are the reason for the rise of crime rate increase. Refugees will find a place to live; they just will not live…

    Some people think that we should not allow them in and that they pose to much of a threat. But, the thing is that terrorist want us to not allow them and want us to be scared of them possibly pretending to be a refugee:” It is very important...that we do not close our hearts to these victims of such violence and somehow start equating the issue of refugees with the issue of terrorism” (www.cnn.com).

    Syria’s population used to consist of 22.85 million people. 74% of them consisted of Sunni Muslims. We are potentially at war with ISIS, and giving them a chance to enter the United States would be foolish. ISIS has announced that it will be using the refugee crisis as a way to smuggle militants into the United States (Jack Crone). Letting in potential terrorists into the United States, and into our homes, is a foolish decision entirely (Ben).…

    That is a perfect justification for the United States to reject the refugees, considering one of them could be a terrorist, just as the refugee was in Europe. Despite the inhumanity, states that are not allowing refugees are smart and playing it safe out of respect and security for the country, a very respectable and perceptive decision. Of course America can claim that they will demand in depth background checks and allow the refugees in selectively. While this is reassuring, all people know how intelligent and scheming terrorists are in regards to their attacks, so even the guarantee of perfect background checks is not comforting…

    In the eyes of the United States government the risk outweighs the reward on the issue of taking in refugees. This is a tough stance to take for any country, and it is hard to determine a right solution when it is impossible to screen for people who plan to do harm once they enter the country. The pattern across the ocean in Europe has been to accept the refugees, but other countries are much closer to the Syrian border. This makes them directly have to deal with this…

    Despite those efforts, people still hold the belief of terrorists using the advantage of refugees migrate to other countries, as a way to plan more attacks.

    Concerns of economic consequences and security threats are the most common defenses for those who fear the benign refugees. Although admitting refugees into the United States would come at great monetary costs, the expenses of military intervention is even greater. ISIL related operations costed $6.5 billion since 2014. With the same amount of money, the U.S. could offer protection for a fair share of refugees for over 3 years. Paying for refugees would not only be less expensive, but more successful than increased military intervention in the Middle East.…
