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.

Yes. But only after an extensive background check. No one else other than that one person that was confirmed.
Yes, but the reason for background checks is to make sure they are criminal record-free and doing something while they are here. they need to be doing something to benefit the community.

Yes, but we should be more focused on providing peace keeping aid to war torn countries so that refugees can return to their homes and be safe.

With the current amount of jobs in Canada, and immigration occurring. We should ensure that we have a healthy balanced immigration to job policy to further reduce unemployment in our country over time or at least get it to a historic all time low.

We should except them but cap off at a limit. Also, ensure that background checks are done as it is a country amidst war.
Very situational - based on how our economy is set up to receive them
