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, They should have good background checks and not be recieving government money
@8VGKC244yrs4Y
I like the idea of us helping people in dire circumstances, but I HEAVILY Dislike the fact that we feel they are more provided for than people and families BORN in Canada, we should be accepting less than we do.
@8V9D5ZL4yrs4Y
Not all Syrians are Muslim 🙄. Accept families, no single women or men.
@8V67NG24yrs4Y
Yes, but only if they are skilled tradesman and pass background checks
Should accept the Syrians that supported Canada during the last 20 years in Syria.
@8QCGGMLConservative4yrs4Y
Yes but with significant background checks/vetting and continued monitoring. They should not be allowed to live generously off tax payer's money either. They need to contribute to society right away. And the amount of refugees yearly needs to be limited. We do not have the resources to support the whole world.
@8P5Z92S4yrs4Y
We would help way more people by actually resettling the refugees somewhere else in the Middle East because it would be a lot cheaper and we can support more people that way
@8NWWM794yrs4Y
Yes, but only mothers and children, the rest should go fight for their country.
@8H8N3964yrs4Y
Yes, but no single men, and only after extensive background checks
@8VJSM9Z4yrs4Y
Y es, but only after extensive background checks and continuous monitoring to ensure they have no terrorist connections AND have something to offer our society (job)
@6K36GJH4yrs4Y
They are trying to leave Syria. Yes.
