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.

No, I feel that they should be redeployed in a country that better suits their current culture.
@8VGQNRX4yrs4Y
Yes but they should have to be in less populated places to decrease housing prices in the busy cities. They should go to PEI or North west territory Canada is big. Not everyone needs to be in the GTA

Not until traveling is safe from risk of getting COVID-19
@8CZN5MSNew Democratic5yrs5Y
We need to focus on providing more for our current homeless population. Why should we bring others in to the country and support their needs before our own?
@8VJYWHS4yrs4Y
I dont have enough information to answer. All lives should be saved... including our own. And I just do not have enough information to know if this option makes me feel more or less safe in my country.
