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.

Only families (mother, father, kids)
@95WPYYR3yrs3Y
Syrians have integrated well. Stop allowing Somalians if you want to curb terrorism. It's not a race issue but societal. Somalia is anarchy and integration isn't working
@GinGy3yrs3Y
no, we need to stop focusing on the votes for short term power, adress the internal problems and then start debating on immigration
@8WFRGBH3yrs3Y
No strict screening and qualified family
@8W8LHZT4yrs4Y
Only if they can provide useable skills in Canada
@8W2F2R34yrs4Y
Yes, but mostly educated people
@8VLZC254yrs4Y
We need to eliminate the housing crisis internally prior to allowing any immigration into the country..
@8VH2TZWConservative4yrs4Y
Yes, but with rigid immigration requirements and approve less applications
@8VCV38F4yrs4Y
I think Canada should accept refugees from Syria depending on how we can take without overpopulating and causing problems.
@8V7BWBV4yrs4Y
Instead of a certain amount it should only be family and a total of family that doesn’t exceed 10,000
@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
@8TN4GLW4yrs4Y
Yes, but with the number of Syrian refugees accepted into Canada being capped at a reasonable number, and with all refugees being extensively screened before being allowed in.
@8RS6FB8Conservative4yrs4Y
No, we have already excepted more than other countries and have done our part.
Yes, though we should keep in mind the employment status of current residents.
@8QRSQPQ4yrs4Y
depends on the amount of refugees
@8QRLZWV4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if the government takes care of their people before
The refugees deserve a place here, but the way the system works right now is not good. Refugees can make more money because of the government than citizen workers make. That should definitely be more controlled.
Yes, accept 10,000 refugees, but mostly families.
@8PRN58W4yrs4Y
Canada should accept a reasonable amount of refugees, depending on how bad their circumstances are. Canada should make sure most refugees have something to do or somewhere to go after entering the country. Background checks should be necessary for everyone regardless of who they are. Canada should be allowing more families with that are in need, into the country.
@8NW36T94yrs4Y
Yes, but not be subsidized by the government to live here.
@8NVV36M4yrs4Y
Same has any other refugee, they should have to go try same process
@8NK74C74yrs4Y
@8FYYFPM5yrs5Y
People should pass a test, to get in. We do not want to have terrorists from Syria come in to Canada.
I think charity begins at home, and take care of our own homeless first. That is not to say we should not help those struggling in Syria.
@8DS6PCR5yrs5Y
There should be no borders, and therefore we shouldn’t need to have to accept refugees. People should be free to choose what they do and where they live.
@8CDXKM85yrs5Y
I think depending on the person and criminal record and who that person is associated with should determine if they should be allowed in or not.
@8VVTJBV4yrs4Y
Yes, those bringing skills and education for economic benefit.
Canada should accept as many refugees as Canada can without accepting more than we can.
@8TYS8W2Conservative4yrs4Y
No, we should eliminate any opportunity for terrorists to enter the country AND No, there are too many immigrants
@8NR6HD84yrs4Y
yes, but they should get a background check and be quarantine for time before entering society. While they are quarantine, they should be able to contribute the Canadian economy
@8H74MVG4yrs4Y
Yes, but ensure that they are given the tools to be contributing members of society
@8FCJNHM5yrs5Y
only after they get a check for any virus's or weapons.
