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 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.
@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.
Yes, but we have to have a plan for what we'll do with them once they're in the country
Yes but with a Priority for families.
@8NHKG6L4yrs4Y
Yes but we also need to ensure the welfare of citizens currently in Canada before putting effort and resources toward bringing new people in
@8HYR47Y4yrs4Y
No because we can’t help the Canadians that are cold hungry and homeless. So no please don’t accept anymore
@8TW3XV84yrs4Y
Yes, to a relevant adjusting number that reflects the current economy.
@8TKD6G74yrs4Y
If an individual chooses to, yes.
