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

Until we have real healthcare, refugees should have to wait upwards of 1-2 years before being able to get a doctor. Take in those who are capable and willing to work and those who will help Canada and not drag on it
@8VQBQMR4yrs4Y
As long they find a job and not milking the system

Not all Syrians are Muslim 🙄. Accept families, no single women or men.

Refugees should be accepted only by charity of individuals not the state

High skilled immigrant workers. Not low skilled workers that would lower the wage for the working man.

If an individual chooses to, yes.

Yes, but in small numbers & spread out to avoid ethnic ghettos, and with the understanding that they will return home one day
