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.

When Canada is able to house and support all current citizens
@95N6GWJConservative3yrs3Y
Yes, They should have good background checks and not be recieving government money
@8VQBQMR4yrs4Y
As long they find a job and not milking the system
@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.
@8NVVWBHConservative4yrs4Y
Refugees should be accepted only by charity of individuals not the state
@8KRZFZX4yrs4Y
High skilled immigrant workers. Not low skilled workers that would lower the wage for the working man.
@8H8N3964yrs4Y
Yes, but no single men, and only after extensive background checks
@8DTXS2FConservative5yrs5Y
Only if they contribute to society and accustom to the laws abs rules here. And they should work and pay taxes and contribute. And extensive checks need to be done. People who have trauma drain the system. Trauma of refugees needs to be considered.
@8NWQH6W4yrs4Y
No, except for high skilled works such as doctors and engineers.
@6K36GJH4yrs4Y
They are trying to leave Syria. Yes.

Only Syrian Christians and Jews, and liberal*, secular, heterosexual and asexual, centrist and rightist, religiously tolerant, and monogamist Muslims
* liberal Muslims as in Muslims who are more open minded about their sons & daughters marrying non-Muslims (e.g. Christians) or even converting to Christianity upon their marriage to their non-Muslim spouse (e.g. the first lady of Argentina who converted to Roman Catholicism from Islam, where she stated in an interview with La Nación newspaper in 2012, that her father is a liberal Muslim who did not object to one of Juliana's sisters marrying a Christian and the other a Jew)
