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.

Until we have real healthcare, refugees should have to wait upwards of 1-2 years before being able to get a doctor. Take in those who are capable and willing to work and those who will help Canada and not drag on it
@8TV4FNY4yrs4Y
Focus spending on canadians
Yes, and from every where but we have to make sure that we integrate them to the Canadian society.
@8T8BGND4yrs4Y
Yes but we need to focus on our own countries issues first
@8S5NVJS4yrs4Y
Yes, but have a strict naturalisation policy in place.
@8S5GL9F4yrs4Y
Yes after extensive background checks and following them for several years to ensure they understand the laws and cultures in Canada
@8GQVTMZ4yrs4Y
Yes, if they need asylum and/or need to be reunited with family. Some background check and screening.
@8CGFTL25yrs5Y
No, we need to focus on rebuilding Canada and clear debt then maybe run a program that only accepts few every year and they must meet several requirements so we are protected and they are protected.
@8CD2Y22Rhinoceros5yrs5Y
Canada needs to fix the problems within our nation before we accept any refugees, because we have people here living like they are in a third world country and our government would rather help people from overseas than people in their own backyard for political gain.
@8VDXS77Conservative4yrs4Y
Yes, provided we can verify the conditions they seek refuge from.
@8TZCKP5New Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes but limit the amount of refugees we are helping and make it more of a priority to help Canadians and war veterans first.
