Should the U.S. accept refugees from Syria?

No The people of Canada should come first. Not the refugees.

Fix the problems in Canada before accepting other people in

Yes but if they have a criminal record then deny them.

Yes, They should have good background checks and not be recieving government money

Yes, and extensive background checks and health status should be considered.

Canada can barely support the citizens we have now. We don't need anymore people to come. The government should focus on providing for those who are already here; citizens of Canada and their well-being.

We should only accept a certain about of immigrants, because now the cities and the country in general is going to be filled with immigrants.

Yes, but only if they follow our needs for our country

They should be allow as long as they are doing things( enjoyment or schooling)

Yes, but limit it

Canada must join the world in doing away with the rulers in Syria that cause the conditions that force refugees to flee. We can not solve all the worlds problems by having the entire population of such countries move here.

Controlled amount

After checking them and clearing that there is nothing bad about them, then yes.

I believe we should be taking care of the homeless due to mental health and military and focus on getting our own people okay before we start helping other countries. I think we have lots of work we need to do first before we can help others/

We should focus on ourselves first.

Accept immigrants but after screening

We should focus on the people struggling in our country

Yes but we should situate them in less populated areas across Canada to help grow small city industries

Yes, but with rigid immigration requirements and approve less applications

we have taken in too many already

Accept a limited number and do extensive background checks

Yes but they must have relevant skills for the labour market. Relevant trades in need of skills should be priorities

depends on circumstances that are placed to whoever comes into canada

Only if they were needed... personally I do not want to have an over population of refugees and suffer like the UK in the 70’s or Germany now...

With the current amount of jobs in Canada, and immigration occurring. We should ensure that we have a healthy balanced immigration to job policy to further reduce unemployment in our country over time or at least get it to a historic all time low.

yes but under certin circumstances

yes but keep it on the slower side as alot of tax payers dollars are being spent on funnding for them

only those with families and that are here to apply for a job

Only people that are here to work for a better life

Only families with extensive back round checks.

yes, but we should accept fewer than 10,00

I think that we should take in refugees but control and limit the amount coming in or our country will be overpopulated

We should accept as many refugees as we can but don't let their culture and beleifs take over our country

Yes, but only if they have sufficient English or French language skills

No, we have already excepted more than other countries and have done our part.

They can’t come into our country and think they can rule our country the way they want it

yes, and send help to small villages war crimes and blood is all they see. be the good peacekeepers we are and so proudly flaunt

We should be looking after our own homeless people first and then accept refugees.

I believe that background checks need to be done but not many continuous checks

Don’t know, tough question

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.

They should be from all over the world..why are we focused on Syria?

How about we solve the problem, remove the need for refugees

allow some because I've seen a lot of refugees that end up homeless(fix the economy and taxes then once Canada is stable then we can allow a good amount of refugees to come in)

yes but not lots

No, but those living in Canada currently should be allowed to stay if they have had extensive background checks and monitoring for no terrorist connections

I don't believe it should be completely banned, rather heavily restricted

After an extensive background check, and if Canada has available space and resources to accommodate the refugees

Refugees should be accepted only by charity of individuals not the state

Yes, but proper vetting and minimal to no government financial support

i believe that we should keep the family's under watch for a year or so, and keep a closer eye on the singulair men that enter, as well as do back ground checks

Yes for community sponsorship only of families fleeing persecution

yes but they shouldn't be funded by the government, they need normal Canadian living skills

Once you have taken care of our seniors our veterans and our homeless

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.

Yes, but we also need to help our own citizens who are homeless.

Yes, but only families, extensive background checks, and using a point system test for them to atleast know basic english and way of life in canada.

No, because it spends a lot of money

I think we should choose carefully on who should be accepted refugees to come to Canada. (check their background, information , etc.)

Yes, provided we can verify the conditions they seek refuge from.

Deal with the refugees here already then bring more to smaller communities with background checks to build up snall towns and creat bigger cities in low population areas on canada

No, we should eliminate any opportunity for terrorists to enter the country AND No, there are too many immigrants

Yes, but this question shouldnt be limited to solely Syrian refugees

Yes, but less frequent & in smaller numbers.

No, refugees should go to countries that are closer to their home country. That way if conditions improve in their home country they can return.

Yes as long as they go through the same immigration process and background checks as the rest of the immigrates.

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)

hell no because serial is a bad place and there are a lot of bad people there not all but a lot

yes, with intense background check.

No, provide aid to support a safe zone in Syria

We should accept immigrants only when we can fully take care of the citizens we already have in our country.

Yes, once they gain proper citizenship.

Yes, but they should be doing background checks on all first.

Yes but not a limited amount and they should come through legally

Yes, if they become a citizen of the United States.

They should go through the legal process.

Yes, if we have the resources available to split them all into different communities and monitor them.

Yes, but they need to come legally

This is a touchy subject because this could lead to an alliance and alliances can get us dragged into things we don't want to be a part of. I thing the right thing would be to assist them but only with extensive background checks.

if we check them and they arent terrorists

if the are legally here

yes, with extreme background checks
