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.

Should accept the Syrians that supported Canada during the last 20 years in Syria.
@8TLSVP74yrs4Y
Yes, but a family member who is able to fight should have to train with the military and then be sent back to fight for their country. The exception would be for single parents.
@8TJ5STP4yrs4Y
@8TH4QX44yrs4Y
Yes we should, but I believe we should move them to provinces like Manitoba or Alberta to populate and make use of the cities, and provinces that are practically empty instead of crowding an already crowded Toronto which would cause prices for houses to go higher than they already are
@8T49TH64yrs4Y
We shouldn't open the flood gates of immigration, but do background checks and have the application process. It shouldn't be so easy as to just waltz right into Canada. But yes we should take in Syrian refugees.
