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 the emphasis should be on persecuted minorities.
No, we should stop taking all refugees until we decrease our national debt and increase our spending towards taking care of veterans
@8VTHCTD4yrs4Y
we should accept if no crimes were committed
@8VQWPVG4yrs4Y
Completely depends on the situation
@8VN2H544yrs4Y
We should follow trumps policy of getting our own country in order before accepting others into our country. Take care of our own before taking care of others
@8VCZH6P4yrs4Y
Yes but ensure they are good, contributing citizens of the world
@8SM9P3J4yrs4Y
Yes but make sure there are very strict
@8RR3K4K4yrs4Y
I dont have an issue with Syrian refugees or any other refugees but I don't believe we should accept any others. We have plenty of kids who are hungry and homeless individuals. I think its our job to take care of own first and creates solutions to help before we accept additional people
@8RCFD7K4yrs4Y
Yes, but check if their records are clean
@8NY4LBZ4yrs4Y
Yes, but refugees from all countries should possess an employable skillset, no criminal record, speak English fluently, pass a health examination and for a limited time be monitored/assisted by government to increase their likelihood of success
@8CS7JYB5yrs5Y
yes, but only after extensive background checks and continuous monitoring to ensure no terrorist connections, and accept a majority of families (50%), then women and children (25%), then single men (25%); this could apply to refugees from other countries.
@8QNN7PH4yrs4Y
Yes, but in small numbers & spread out to avoid ethnic ghettos, and with the understanding that they will return home one day
