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, but thoroughly check their background and limit the amount accepted.
@93T8BYB3yrs3Y
No more refugees until the housing crisis and inflation issues are addressed and in a better place
@939QKGH3yrs3Y
If the infrastructure is planned prior to arrival, if we can continue to support the refugees
@8VQWQ524yrs4Y
Families who are ready to work and be a part of the society, yes. People who are open minded and come here with the intentions to not change everything. As long as the people here have enough. Don’t want to overload.
@8VPLF6C4yrs4Y
Yes, but we need to ensure the liability well beings of Canadians as a priority
@8VLHL4S4yrs4Y
It’s a complicated issue that should be looked at closer. Canada should welcome folks from all over but we are currently struggling ourselves.
@8VJCPZF4yrs4Y
Yes, but stop putting them in Toronto and Southern Ontario, it is too crowded and we have so much room further north.
@8VHKMZK4yrs4Y
No, I feel that they should be redeployed in a country that better suits their current culture.
@8VH2T4R4yrs4Y
Focusing on our struggling Canadian Families is more important.
@8VFK6CJ4yrs4Y
Yes but make sure you’re providing housing for those in your own community first
@8VCMCR74yrs4Y
Care for our many local homeless
@8V89N534yrs4Y
If they become a contributing member of society and dont they to change the way canadians celebrate holidays
I believe we should be stricter on who we let in. And make sure they pass Canadian citizenship tests, English/French tests, and not be handing out money and cars to whoever comes in. They should have to work for what they get just like us.
@8V4ZX274yrs4Y
Members that can contribute. Utilize their educations!!!
@8TV2JLJ4yrs4Y
We have homeless and starving Canadian citizens born and raised we should worry about first.
@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.
@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.
@8SVPZS64yrs4Y
Only accept the Syrians that immigrate to Canada as any other Immigrant would.
@8S5C9X34yrs4Y
Yes, but we need to ensure that we do not accept too many to maintain within our country.
@8PDDZCX4yrs4Y
We need to take care of our own people first and take care of our homeless crisis
@8NVXXNM4yrs4Y
Yes, but with minimal financial support
@8MCDRLX4yrs4Y
yes, however if they bring positives into canada
@8JTD4LQ4yrs4Y
Not until traveling is safe from risk of getting COVID-19
@8HYR47Y4yrs4Y
No because we can’t help the Canadians that are cold hungry and homeless. So no please don’t accept anymore
@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.
@8TW3XV84yrs4Y
Yes, to a relevant adjusting number that reflects the current economy.
@8TTWX844yrs4Y
Only if we fix the National housing crisis.
@8TKD6G74yrs4Y
If an individual chooses to, yes.

Accept as many as we can support.
