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 extensive background checks and an audit period, as well as a literacy test and an evaluation of their ability to work, to ensure they can work/survive in Canada, and to ensure they aren't terrorists.

Absolutely. If they’re willing to work and contribute to society.
@8XSXMM63yrs3Y
Yes, but limit the number of refugees in all countries based on our economy and how many refugees we have already allowed into the country. The US can only allow so many refugees.
@8ZCJJ3R3yrs3Y
YES, America is great because of immigration, Imagine if the Native Americans had been able to turn away the first settlers, where would we be?
@92MDVFR3yrs3Y
Asylum? Yes. Finance their expenses once they arrive in America? No. We currently have hundreds of thousands of homeless citizens in the USA, so funding foreign nationals seeking refugee status within our borders needs to be addressed by the private sector, not the government.
@93G2RP73yrs3Y
Yes, but the government should spend any money on getting them to the United States or taking care of them
@8H9ZM8H4yrs4Y
Yes, only Christians and Yazidis because they being killed because of their faith.
@8KH79S24yrs4Y
