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.

Electoral District (2011):
@95QRN2B3yrs3Y
no because the government is giving them houses instead of the canadians that were originally struggling.
@95DCX88New Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, but less than 10,000 proposed.
@958NSFF3yrs3Y
If they complete a clean criminal history check
@92L9KW7New Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, but we need to limit how many are coming
@8YLRMLRNew Democratic3yrs3Y
no, because Canada already allowed to settle the number of refugees they promised.
@8VW89C9New Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, but only after extensive background checks and a 2 year monitoring period
@8VVNSYLNew Democratic4yrs4Y
yes, but only for people who were desperate to live. Provided that they will have equal rights with a temporary worker in this country.
@8VTJPY84yrs4Y
yes, only if it is not empeding on our stability as a country (healthcare, mental health, housing, environment) and is done to ensure safety of our country.
@8VSS27VNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, although don't give them as much support compared to other struggling true canadians
@8VSDVY2New Democratic4yrs4Y
A mixture of monitoring potential threats and this is no longer relevant. Not all Syrians are terrorists and shouldn’t be treated like one. For the public’s safe of mind a background check should be done and if there is a threat then monitor them.
@8VRC25N4yrs4Y
I think that we should except some but not all
@8VPPBPQNew Democratic4yrs4Y
I have absolutely no issue with letting them come to canada as long as we help our own people first
@8VHM4PKNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Again, with support and interaction, get to know the people moving into our country.
@8VFVNTMNew Democratic4yrs4Y
They should be fully immunized on arrival as well as a complete health check at out government expense
@8VDW32N4yrs4Y
No, we need to take care of our own first before we accept refugees into a problematic country
@8VDB543New Democratic4yrs4Y
Accept refugees but there are many in need not only Syria
@8V5CRKSNew Democratic4yrs4Y
We should take care of our homeless people first
@8V28JMZNew Democratic4yrs4Y
I think that refugees should be accepted, but when they come to Canada they should have to go to a province/city that isn't overpopulated already. People shouldn't be moving places where homes aren't available for those currently live there.
@8TXLKGMNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, but we should not be funding them
@8TW94V4New Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, but we should be more focused on providing peace keeping aid to war torn countries so that refugees can return to their homes and be safe.
@8TW92844yrs4Y
If Canada is going to support US attempts to overthrow the legit Syrian Gov, then we have to do whatever it takes to help those people
@8TR83DZ4yrs4Y
Yes, we should accept as many refugees and immigrants as possible.
@8TL4VCBNew Democratic4yrs4Y
We need to take in as many refugees as economically viable. If we can't treat our own citizens.
@8TBZT2KNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, but no more then we can handle
@8R4KRPH4yrs4Y
We need to care for our poor and weak first, whennthe country is flourishing then can we take in a other countries downtrodden, there are other countries that are more capable of supporting others vulnerable populace.
@8QXJ2WY4yrs4Y
Only those with decent education.
@8QX373R4yrs4Y
i think we should have a certain amount of people per time period
@8PTZ2GD4yrs4Y
I feel like we should only allow a current amount each year we would be able to save a lot more money
@8PMMDXVNew Democratic4yrs4Y
the government should conduct extensive background research and only accept them into the country under dyer circumstances.
@8PKYNMCNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, but we should not allow refugees to take over and consume all of our resources
@8PKDCVZ4yrs4Y
Yes but only for areas that can support them
@8NPTKGY4yrs4Y
Yes, but have a limit 1,000 per decade
Yes but make sure there's a great background check so one has terrorism background.
@8JKPSZ5New Democratic4yrs4Y
Refugees from anywhere should have background checks and it should be insured they will be a benefit to Canada in some way
@8J8WW99New Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes but ensure our multi cultural society is protected. We do not support child marriages, Sharia law nor some other extreme religious belief. So good education of the immigrants is important so they know what kind of a country they are agreeing to live in.
@8HBG22FNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Not informed enough to comment
@8GQVTMZ4yrs4Y
Yes, if they need asylum and/or need to be reunited with family. Some background check and screening.
@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?
@8TZCKP5New Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes but limit the amount of refugees we are helping and make it more of a priority to help Canadians and war veterans first.
@8QJ8ZJDNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, extensive background checks and dont give them more of a living wage then Canadians who need it I understand helping others but when you can't help your own country that's an issue
@8K5QB2B4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if they pass a quick background screening
@8JQM7P4New Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, but only up to a certain extent
