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.

Accept immigrants but after screening
@8VJGX544yrs4Y
Government should not be involved in arbitrary immigration quotas of any kind. People can voluntarily bring in as many refugees as they are willing to support, or pay to support them anywhere else possible.
@8VF5X2Y4yrs4Y
Refugees and all new Canadians should work to pay for services,medical,education.like Denmark
@8T9RH2F4yrs4Y
As long as they benefit our country
@8PBPFVH4yrs4Y
We should only help if we have the means to help without hurting Canadian citizens
@8NXXMVH4yrs4Y
Yes, but extensive background check and continuous monitoring to ensure they have no terrorist connections. The refugees that acquire entrance into this country can be resolved by deporting an illegal or convicted refugee.
@8NVSM69Libertarian4yrs4Y
Yes, but after background checks and at no expense to taxpayer.
@8CJSV9M5yrs5Y
I believe we should accept anyone who needs aid. But it seems as if the government is not properly setting these people up for success.
@8NKHYDG4yrs4Y
not even we are giving them free money, and letting in to many. and letting them just not work and live here.
@8JW33M84yrs4Y
In all honestly, “Canada” needs to close its boarders I know so many people who were/are born and raised here in Edmonton, but no one wants to hire them because they’re hiring people from out of Country for less.
It needs to stop, the population is getting way to big for Edmonton alone.
