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 only after extensive background checks. Be productive member of society and not use social assistance program for a long period of time
@8VJZDKB4yrs4Y
yes, but we should limit the number each year
@8VFK6CJ4yrs4Y
Yes but make sure you’re providing housing for those in your own community first
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.
@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.
@8SVPZS64yrs4Y
Only accept the Syrians that immigrate to Canada as any other Immigrant would.

No because we can’t help the Canadians that are cold hungry and homeless. So no please don’t accept anymore
@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?
