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):
Only if they pass a background check and sign an oath to Canada
they should accept other refugees to from other country too.
Yes but only after a vetting process to ensure no terrorist affiliation and enroll them into a program to integrate them into canadian society
@8XMTVYD3yrs3Y
We should only bring in people that will accept Canadian values, learn the language, and agree to work.
No, we should stop taking all refugees until we decrease our national debt and increase our spending towards taking care of veterans
@8WYBHWP3yrs3Y
Yes, but these refugees should only be allowed to move into the more rural provinces and territories instead of the big cities.
@8VVNJZJ4yrs4Y
Yes, but not have any set amount. It should not be a set number. Add them to the pool of others seeking entry to Canada.
We should take care of canada frist. Befor bring in educated works
Take care of our country first before we offer help to others
yes, but the refugees must be of more varied selection. Poor, different backgrounds, religions, all kinds.
Most needy first, not only Muslim and rich
Yes but make sure we have the resources we need before bringing more people.
@8VGM6ZT4yrs4Y
Just religious minorities and families.
@8VCHDB24yrs4Y
No, we should help the people in our own country first.
@8V4M9G44yrs4Y
Don't let in terrorists and reduce the number of immigrants, in total, without skills we are lacking in
Skilled workers only; we want productive citizens, not deadbeats.
@8SLP5C84yrs4Y
I don't think we shouldn't give them as much money as we do. But we should still let them in
Not at the expense of all other applicants.
@8QMYYKS4yrs4Y
Extensive backround checks. Clear loyalty to Canada if they decide to live here.
Yes, persecuted Christians. No muslims
Yes, limited and families only and after extensive background checks
@8VCRB8P4yrs4Y
In my opinion we need to take care of our own first, dealing with homelessness and provisions for our most vulnerable
Yes, if pass background check, health check and are sponsored by individual Canadian citizens only. Must be sponsored for 3-5 years.
