Many Syrian refugee families struggle with the recent anti-immigrant issues swarming around the U.S. Many are having flashbacks to the holocaust, when Jews weren't allowed to enter the U.S, and millions died. Furthermore, with some refugees and immigrants coming in, many are struggling to get jobs, and end up having to work illegally.
To begin, the talk about Refugees has become a hot topic worldwide. A lot of people are taking this back to World War ll. This is because the similarities between what's going on now compared to then. A lot of people are comparing the events to what took place when the United States wouldn't allow any refugees into our country, and caused thousands to die. Both articles show a lot of similarities. To begin, the people being talked about in these articles are both being affected greatly. These people are both struggling to get into America to gain freedom, because their country is in a time of war, or very strict.

In Fresno Family Represents the Plight of Syrian Refugees, the family, along with 100,000 others fled their country because of the Syrian war. "That number is just a small amount of the millions displaced." However, with their recent arrival, they have been grateful to all the hospitality they have received. Also, in Jews' tale plays out again as Syrian refugees find resistance to U.S Entry, Allan Lichtman says this," No historical parallel is perfect, obviously." He states this because thousands of people are making a claim that the arguments being made out to Syrian refugees that are mostly Muslim, are shockingly close to the arguments about Jewish refugee entry arguments made long ago. These arguments are beginning to make everyone feel queasy about what the next step
These refugees have similar motives to come to the United States which is due t...
In the essay, I answer the question “What are some of the inherent cultural barriers and challenges that the refugees faced when coming to Clarkston? Are these challenges unique to this story or do they reflect the broader concerns and anxieties about immigration in America?” with supporting evidence from the book and outside sources.
The United States fails to protect its borders, while Australia sacrifices human rights in order to do so. Traditionally, first-world countries and their citizens assist those in less developed countries. Many of the island nations in the south pacific suffer from poverty and frequent natural disasters. Most would agree that, as the most developed country in the region, it is Australia’s responsibility to advocate for human rights and contribute to humanitarian efforts for the island nations. To its credit, Australia normally satisfies this role. However, when asylum-seekers come by boat, Australia draws a forceful line. The United States is also tasked with protecting its borders, but takes a more appropriate approach. In 2012, the PEW research
In 2005 the Migration Amendment Act was introduced which relates to the notion that children must only be put in detention centres as a matter of last resort to ensure the safety of children as there had been many concerns from the Members of parliament. This new policy had given the opportunity for many children and their families to be released into community detention centres whereby there is higher security to ensure their protection. However, in Australia there had still been a substantial amount of children that had still been held in detention centres and often for lengthy periods. Although the Australian Government had attempted to comply with the new policy by gradually allowing children and their families to be released into the community
“War torn nations left bullet-ridden ruins, native people forced to flee and find new homes in foreign places-this is the reality of the refugees.” First of all what is a refugee? Refugees are normal everyday people who are forced to flee their homes because they are afraid to stay in their home country. And when they do flee, they may be obliged to leave behind family members, friends, a home, a job, and other special possessions. One of these refugees is a war-torn child who suffered the harsh realities of the 1975 Vietnam war.
About seventy-five thousand refugees enter the United States each year. These refugees come from all over the world. Their lives turned inside out and back again, just like Ha’s life. Ha and universal refugees both had to face hardships because they had to escape terrible situations, survive long journeys, and adapt to life in a new place.
“If the protecting of our borders requires the incarceration of babies, the sexual abuse of children, the rape of women and the murder of men, then we are of all nations the most depraved.” This emotive statement from a man of the church, Father Rod Bower, touches a nerve with many of Australians. It is an acid test on our national consciousness. The shock of disturbed beliefs pushes us to reassess the foundation of our values.
An extraordinary 65.3 million Refugees have been displaced around the world. In 2015 Australia took 12,000 of them. But where are Australians placing these Refugees? Australia is deporting these Refugees to a third country, either on Manus or Nauru Island. These Islands have reports of inhumane and cruel treatment towards Refugees For those who aren’t fully aware of what Refugees are; they are people whom come to Australia illegally without the appropriate visas. They cannot obtain these visas because of the reasons they are fleeing their country … their Government. None the less it should be the Australian Government they fear. The concepts of refugees are kept hidden away from us by our own Government in reflection of their Governments own self-interest. This tragedy is classified as a modern day witch hunt.
Today, there are over 65 million refugees in the world. That means that one in every 113 people in the world is a refugee. To many, this number may seem extremely alarming. Many refugees struggle to find a place to resettle. America, along with other developed countries, has often been considered dreamland for these displaced people, making many wanting to get out of their war-torn houses and camps. Refugees immigrating to America have been displaced from their original homes, face frustrating immigration policies, and have difficulties starting a new life in a new land.
Inside Out and Back again is a book by Thanhha Lai. I believe that all refugees go through the same basic things, running from a big problem. In Children of War by Arthur Brice the text states “ While another two million have been driven from their homes”(Brice 25). This evidence shows how millions of refugees have been forced from their homes turning their lives inside out.
Refugees are people who have been forced to leave their country because of things such as war or serious natural disasters. persecution, or natural disaster. They are held in places such as detention centres and are kept their to wait for month. They come seeking hope and a place to stay however they are treated as if they are not human or don’t belong in our country. They come facing problems in Australia but come anyway because they have no choice. These problems have a huge impact on the lives of these people. They can give them from post traumatic stress disorder to anxiety.
Considering that the Syrians are seeking an escape from the same exact thing that Americans are, why have they not been accepted into America? Like many of the 70,000 refugees who are accepted into the United States every year, Syrian refugees search for shelter from wars and hope for a prosperous future (Welsh 1). Teresa Welsh, a writer for the “U.S. News and World Report”, describes in her article “Why the U.S. Can’t Resettle Syrian Refugees” that “the U.S. should be doing more to help resettle those fleeing conflict and repressive governments in the Middle East and Asia” (Welsh 1). The Syrians desire escape from a repressive government with no chance of rebuilding a better future; therefore, they seek support from outside countries, like the United States and other European countries. Observations made by International and Scholar Service Students at the University of Missouri-Saint Louis have found that two of America’s values include “Equality” and “Goodness of Humanity” (“Key American Values”).
With the threat of ISIS, or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, lurking around the corner, Syrian refugee’s innocence has been put into question. On November 13, ISIS, an Islamic extremist military group, conducted 7 shootings in Paris, France, that killed over 140 people. This horrendous tragedy shook the world and has caused ISIS to become widely considered as the main homeland security threat to America. Also, due to the civil war that is taking place in Syria, millions of Syrian natives have fled to other countries, including the united state. While link between these two events is unquestionable, whether or not to conclude that ISIS’s most efficient way of entering the United States is as a fake Syrian refugee is very controversial.
Currently, the largest cause of refugees is the Syrian civil war, which has displaced over 2.1 million people. As a country of relative wealth, the United States should be able to provide refuge for many refugees, as well as provide monetary support to the refugees that they are not able to receive. Countries surrounding Syria, such as Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and Iraq have taken in the vast majority of Syrian refugees. In some countries, such as Lebanon, Syrian refugees make up over a quarter of the population. This causes extreme economic strain on a country, and can greatly increase the amount of poverty that is seen there.
But this current crisis happens to coincide with a moment of fear about national identity in both the US and Europe.Taking in large numbers of refugees requires accepting that those refugees might bring changes to a nation's identity or culture. That change is often beneficial not just for the refugees but for the host countries as well. Better food! New cultures! But immigration, especially on a larger scale, can also feel scary to people. When their communities change in small but important ways that can feel like neighborhoods and communities that were once designed for people like them are now interested in catering to someone else. And that is the real problem: This crisis has come at a time when many people in wealthy countries already felt tremendously threatened by immigration, and by the idea that their towns, communities, and cultures are changing in ways that feel uncomfortable or scary.
