It's not America's fault that there is pressure on those areas. It's those specific places fault for letting refugee's in, in the first place. It gave Syrians the illusion that they can be safe inn that specific area. It's not Americas fault. Side: Do NOT allow them in the US

They do need a home to go to but people in America are poor with no living place that have a degree but are still on the streets, what about these loyal citizens that were born in America with no home to go to. Why should we let more people in when we are struggling to support ourselves. Side: Do NOT allow them in the US

In recent studies it has shown that the Syria refugees have contributed to the economies in Lebanon and have boosted it by a small percent. If keeping some of the millions of refugees there can boost an LDC why not leave them there but also support them with supplies. Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US

America has the resources, we waste almost as much food as we consume each day and with the food we waste we could help give to AT LEAST 10,000 people. We have more than enough resources and even though we have limited space we have always been able to allow more and more people ( Illegally or Legally) into the U.S and we can always build or place camps along places or give housing like we did with the boys of Sudan. We have the resources, and motivation all we need is the push to do these things, instead of more obstacles to block us. Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US

We should let at least 10,000 Syrian refugees in the US because it isn't a lot of people in the first place so it wont affect the US that much and it will make the US look good and wont make any enemies between countries. Countries like Jordan and Turkey that are LCD's have let in around 1 million refugees and made massive refugee camps, so why cant we let in a few thousand? Plus we have the resources to let in these refugees. The refugees can also support our economy in plenty of ways. Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US

We should let in Syrian refugees. Of the almost 3,000 refugees we've taken in only 66 people have been arrested for terrorist activity and not all of those were even refugees. Not to mention the year and a half of verification done by the FBI for every refugee, including continuing to run one's information through terrorist databases even after they get in. And now the Supreme Court made it even harder to get in, making it so that the director of the FBI needs to sign off on every new refugee. Although it is not possible to completely get rid of the risk, it is very hard for a terrorist to get in and it is worth the small risk. Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US

The United States has one of the worlds strictest systems for checking backgrounds of refugees, so if the US were to let 10,000 in to the US there wouldn't be much of a problem. Another reason the US could let 10,000 in to the US is because most of the Syrian refugees have a good education. Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US

The United States has a strict background check due to the amount of terrorist leaking into the state, but still many are poring into the nation so if we have these background checks how come there are still attacks happening from U.S. Citizens. Even U.S. Citizens are converting to the ISIS cause so why would we let Syrians in to influence that cause even more Side: Do NOT allow them in the US

Syrian refugees should be allowed into the United States, most people that would be trying to get into the United States are women and children. More than 6.6 million people are injured already and the number will only increase if we don't allow those innocent people a place to flee to. Germany has already excepted over 800,000 refugees and that seemed to be their limit. All we are expected to take in are a little over 10,000. This is definitely under our limit of refugees we can take in at one time. Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US
The United States should let in 10,000 Syrian refugee's. Most of the refugee's are women and children. To back this up, the United Nations’ figures show women, outnumber men, and children 11 years old and younger, male and female, account for 38.5 percent of all refugees. Women and children are less likely to harm the American public. The refugee's could also benefit our economy. Among Syrian immigrants, 39 percent have college degrees, a higher percentage than native-born populations, according to the Migration Policy Institute. Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US

We should at least allow 10,000 refugees in. Being a MCD the U.S should be able to economically support and gain from them. Other countries have let in about 2 million. Yeah terrorism is an issue, but the U.S would still politically look bad for letting thousands of Syrians die from migration efforts. Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US

It is morally correct that Syrian Refugees be allowed into the United States. OK. To Americans, I'm going to sound like the grinch at a Christmas party here. I can't blame them: who wants to hear that their country is the problem causing this refugee crisis to intensify? No one. And yet that is what is happening. I am a legal resident of the United States, and I have been lately horrified by the current administration issuing travel bans on refugees. Actually, this problem is partly America's fault. The United States is acting the same way every imperialist country ever acted in history. Why was the Cold War fought in proxy wars instead of a gigantic, single war fought in either the USSR or the United States? The answer is that both countries didn't want their countries to be destroyed, but they had to settle a dispute somehow. So what do they do? They ravage the Middle East, Korea, and Vietnam. Do they care what happens to those countries? No! Not at all! Do you think they lie awake in bed every night thinking about what they did? No! Absolutely not! Why did the US fight the Korean war? Not to protect South Korea. (Actually, if the US hadn't intervened, Korea would still be unified and we wouldn't have the DPRK missile crisis.) To protect themselves. Why did the US try to put SADDR (missile detection systems) and missiles in Korea? To protect South Korea? No! They just want to protect themselves. If nuclear missiles explode over Korea and millions die from the radiation, why should the United States care? Guam wasn't attacked. Syria was messed up by other imperialist countries and the United States has a moral obligation to help the people that powerful nations have displaced. G7 should stop complaining about the 'refugee crisis': it's all their fault! True, some problems in Syria are internal. But those internal problems may have been prevented if it weren't for external conflicts. Why is Africa still underdeveloped? Because of the 'scramble for Africa'! True, many African countries have internal problems-but those aren't entirely their fault. It is therefore ethically correct that Syrian refugees be allowed into the United States without much trouble. Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US

America should take in Syrian refugees because the state of Jordan is an LDC and they have already taken in 937,000 refugees and they are open for more. While America is an MDC and so far we have not taken in any refugees. Jordan has a population of 6.459 million and America's population is 318.9 million. Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US

These refugees are bringing over opportunity to our work force. Nearly eighty-six percent of Syrian refugees have secondary or university educations. We don't just have potato farmers coming in we have educated immigrants who can contribute to economy Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US

Yeah they are bringing in useful skills in order to help us, we could use more skills that will aid our economy, instead of officials complaining about how immigrants drain resources and how they don't give back to the economy. With the influx of immigrants streaming into the U.S our education systems would go up and the bar of education would be raised, because lets face it, most of our generation doesn't wanna lose in intellect to any foreigners . With increase in intellect, more jobs would be available and fewer people would drain our resources if they have an education. Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US

They do have degrees but some active American people with degrees are still poor with no job so with an influx of people into America it is not guaranteed they will all get jobs so we will have a higher rate of people trying to support a higher population when already our government is going down Side: Do NOT allow them in the US

America should not let in the Syrian refugees. I'd say this because 13% of Syrian refugees have positive thoughts about ISIS. If you do the math and the US were going to allow in 10,000, that's potentially 1,300 ISIS followers allowed into our country. Side: Do NOT allow them in the US
To bring up what you said about the high number of ISIS followers from our 'shipment' of 10,000. Germany has taken in way more than 10,000 refugees (800,000) and no ISIS attacks so far. Although ISIS has openly admitted to coming in along with the refugees there is still a bgger number of innocent people coming in. Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US

Just a small group of ISIS followers were a nightmare for France. Imagine what 1300 of them could do. And no, there is almost no way to do a real background check, for the simple reason that USA and Syria are hostile towards each other and do not share intel. Side: Do NOT allow them in the US

Even with some of the "strictest" background checks there is no way to discern someones belief. Right now I could say I am Muslim and you cannot disprove that in anyway. With beliefs being something only you can know no amount of background checks can stop the ISIS infiltrators who are easily disguised as refugees. Side: Do NOT allow them in the US

Look. It's simple. Just because 13% of Syrian refugees support ISIS doesn't mean that they're terrorists. In fact, about 6 million Syrian refugees have been fleeing the country since internal conflicts arose. If all of them were terrorists, we wouldn't stand a chance. Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US

The United States should not let Syrian Refugees in due to the large terrorist population in this area. Plus the influx of people our economy can not support the rapid growing population if we lift our borders. Such as the China population, where the government put in place a birth rate per person, if we lift our borders we will eventually reach a resource crisis and a terrorist crisis and leading our government to crash. Like the Jordan refugee camp people are dyeing due to the lack of resources in that area. America can eventually lead to this cause due to the rapid growing population if we lift the borders, because the Syrians will keep coming if we allow just a little to come in (The European situation) Side: Do NOT allow them in the US

First, you need to be at one with scrolling through the facts because ;2,234 Syrian refugees have been admitted to the United States since October 1, 2010 (the beginning of fiscal year 2011), and only after the most extensive level of security screening of any category of traveler to the United States. None have been arrested or removed on terrorism charges. Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US
With ISIS promising to infiltrate the refugee pool and over 4000 covert terrorists in place "awaiting" orders, letting the refugees in will endanger American lives. With the ease that ISIS has been able to recruit current American citizens imagine the ease they convert people with a more similar religion. ISIS has made good on every promise so far and I would no try them in this way. What should really be done is sending of help to the refugees and the European states that border the ocean. by helping countries like Greece deal with the large influx of immigrants we can help make a difference without risking the lives of American citizens. The economic burden placed on money from taxpayers will be more if we accept the refugees, as we have to pay for more things like extra education food and housing than if we just give a set sum of money. This will also satisfy the (dumb) Americans that think the Muslims are all in a pact to overtake us by overwhelming the Western population with many children. Even though letting 10,000 in will have no affect on American culture the majority will end up be terrorists that we pay for to get here and harm our own citizens!!!! Overall we can be more helpful with foreign aid than accepting possible enemies of our country in and paying for their livelihood and education!!! Side: Do NOT allow them in the US
Even if we had to pay more for their educational, housing, and hunger needs, it would be worth it due to them bringing in their own unique skills. Sometimes like they say, you lose some to gain some, we lose a few bucks and space, but we would gain their skills (In order to improve our national economy), we would gain the country's trust for us at least trying, we wouldn't be dis-faced as cowards for not letting them in and even if some believe (In our country) it was a mistake, later they will learn it was a huge aid to us. Think about the future, not the present, we always gain something, and lose another. How would this be any different? Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US

Donovan, this is a good statement. Terrorism is defined as what you stated and in most cases, terrorist attacks on US soil are from right-wing extremists and other radical groups of whites, although in the media they aren't coined as terrorists (though they should be) because of their race.

In the Preamble of the Constitution, the words "insure domestic tranquility" and "provide for the common defense." If we allow Syrian refugees into the United States, we would not be living up to the words our founders said and would be endangering American lives. Side: Do NOT allow them in the US
Keep in mind, all refugees of all nationalities considered for admission to the United States undergo a rigorous security screening involving multiple federal intelligence, security and law enforcement agencies, such as the National Counterterrorism Center, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Departments of Homeland Security, State and Defense, in order to ensure that those admitted are not known to pose a threat to our country Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US

Americans shooting other Americans is a new trend in the US as of the later years. Incidents like the Charleston shooting, Abortion Clinic domestic terrorist attacks, all the school shootings, it is evident that mentally unstable people (even Americans) will go out and kill others. If the Syrian refugees enter the United States the people similar to who shot up Planned Parenthood (don't want to say their names) will surely attack the new refugees that enter the US. Side: Do NOT allow them in the US
The refugees will have to deal with the cultural aspect is my main point a new form of racism is already evident in America. The terrorist point is to insight fear to the people that make the changes this will definitely happen if the refugees come in. Side: Do NOT allow them in the US

I understand its nice and the right thing to do or whatever to let them in but think about the actual facts. Were only helping ten thousand out of the millions in need. I don't think letting them in is the correct course of action, i believe helping them in their homeland would be the best option. We could even help throw Assad out of power, and help the state come to better terms. With the homeland fixed and a safe place now, a lot of the refuges could go back home. These people are smart, with the correct man in power they could become a great, wealthy nation, and they could over throw ISIS. Side: Do NOT allow them in the US
You're right we would only be helping 10,000 people but what about the places like Germany that are taking in 800,000? They know that there isn't a country that's gonna take them all in they also know that they will have to go to different places and those places have their limits. We already are trying to help them by sending them stuff and it's obviously not working if they're still leaving. When you say that things would be better if they had the right guy in charge you do know that all of this started cause they tried to get one right? This whole conflict started because they didn't want Assad and now he's scaring them out of 'his' country. Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US

ISIS has publicly announced that they will be coming to the United States. So I believe that letting Syrian refugees in would be a direct gateway to ISIS terrorists. Sure, terrorism itself is inevitable but keeping Syrians out could prevent more possible terrorists on top of the possible ones we already have. Side: Do NOT allow them in the US

Even if we are keeping some terrorists out of the country by blocking refugees, we are also keeping families who need safety and aid out of the country, if this was your family would you want to be denied service of help? You have to think these things from they're point of view, and if ISIS members try to come in, can't we have tests in play to weed them out? We can always apprehend the threats before they happen if we actually think of methods that we can use and agree on in order to put them on the spot and take them out. Side: Allow 10,000 in to the US

Those "tests" are never a sure way to "weed them out". It's impossible to know for sure whether or not they are terrorists. I might consider your argument if in the past we were able to apprehend such threats. But we have had many terrorists attacks on the United States which shows it's not possible to stop terrorism. But it is possible to prevent it by shutting possible hostile people out of the United States. Side: Do NOT allow them in the US
