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 again tie in social security only for tax payers
@8VDD89X4yrs4Y
While I acknowledge their humanity, Canada should prioritize the lives of Canadians already in the country.
@8V7MQ7T4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as they aren't moved into highly populated areas, eg; Ontario GTA
@8TY525P4yrs4Y
We should help our own homeless veterans first
@8TXCPRD4yrs4Y
Yes and No. Maybe with strict background checks. The housing that they get are needed by Canadians, but I understand the some of these people need help.
Skilled workers only; we want productive citizens, not deadbeats.
@8SFWYKW4yrs4Y
yes to a certain extent and only if background checks are good
@8SDSWKY4yrs4Y
Yes as long as they pose no harm toward anyone. Although too many refugees will cause extra population and canada will become more crowded than it already is so maybe by putting a set limit per year, this problem wont occur.
@8Q78P9G4yrs4Y
Yes, however the government needs to give the same amount of attention to Canadians as they do to the Syrian refugees
@8PVXMFY4yrs4Y
we need to focus on the people who are already in our country.
@8NTL4MQ4yrs4Y
Yes but don't keep giving them free money from the government
@8FYP72B5yrs5Y
We should accept far fewer refugees
@8FJ7X8G5yrs5Y
No, we have a virus at the moment.
@8M5HGGR4yrs4Y
Yes, but do extensive background tests per person
@8SLDHNN4yrs4Y
