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.

Refugees from anywhere should have background checks and it should be insured they will be a benefit to Canada in some way
@8JHT3774yrs4Y
We need to have a good set up to enable refugees to have a decent chance of living and job opportunity while they are living here. We shouldn't bring in tons if we are not prepared to host and employ them. If there is no job market, bringing them to us will not only be challenging for them, but for us as well. We should bring them because they are fleeing war, they need help, but we need to be better prepared for bringing them here.
@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.
