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.

@8VLQY7XConservative4yrs4Y
We should focus on the people struggling in our country
@8VGTVB44yrs4Y
Yes. But only those willing to contribute to our society
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.
@8T9JMNS4yrs4Y
if they will work and they will help canada once they get a good place in canada.
@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.
@8SS8QRG4yrs4Y
yes but ensure they learn one of the Canadian languages and will become productive members of the country
@8S3LNCZ4yrs4Y
Yes. But those directly from Syria in war torn regions. Not those that have already moved into other countries.
@8RZQVLM4yrs4Y
Only from those still in Syria.
@8R6MFT74yrs4Y
I really don’t know much about this topic
@8QKWLTB4yrs4Y
Yes so long as they pass current Canadian immigration standards. Refugees should get priority over regular applicants due to their more dire situation.
@8PGY69X4yrs4Y
No. we should work on helping the homeless in our country before offering help to immigrants.
@8PCRNSX4yrs4Y
We've accepted thousands of Syrian refugees I thinks it's time for Canada to worry about its own Canadian citizens.
@8NVWBXP4yrs4Y
Let them in. Don't spend tax dollars on them in anyway.
@8H6Y2JZ4yrs4Y
Yes but we need to take care of our own people first
@8F2K8SC5yrs5Y
We should support them in other ways.
@8D43D2J5yrs5Y
yes and no because there are homilies people that live in Canada already but we can still lend a hand to them
@8D42FS55yrs5Y

@8VMH9MNConservative4yrs4Y
I think we should choose carefully on who should be accepted refugees to come to Canada. (check their background, information , etc.)
@8RCQ22F4yrs4Y
Yes but I think our government should help our own backyard first. For example all the First Nation communities without safe water.
@8K5QB2B4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if they pass a quick background screening
