Should your country accept Syrian refugees?


'One million refugees' may arrive in Germany this year
Vice chancellor says forecast of 800,000 may have been an underestimate as people continue to cross Mediterranean.

The above article was posted on 14 Sep 2015 11:50 GMT. Soon after, the Catholic Pope visited USA and Obama pledged to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees in 2016 due to "Humanity".

In the wake of Nov 13, terror attacks in Paris, U.S. 2016 Presidential candidates debated on the subject "Should USA accept Syrian refugees?" There are more than 2 dozens of state governors refused to take Syrian refugees to their states based on those refugees don't have "clean documents", "ISIS may infiltrate in the refugee crowd." The reasons are legitimate. How do you know who is good guy, who is evil? Almost all the Republican candidates refused to accept Syrian refugees for the sake of "security". California is one of the few states will accept refugees.

How about Canada, China, Australia, Russia and British accept Syrian refugees? They are all big countries. Chinese said No to refugee, Aussie promised to take 12,000 refugees. All the countries willingly to send "airstrikes" to bomb ISIS. France and USA already sent airstrikes, but coward ISIS said they are hiding among Syrian civilians, so no ISIS casualties. The question now "should we send Ground troops to Syria and Iraq?" Russian also sent "airstrikes" to ISIS because its commercial airplane had been shot down in Egypt land. ISIS admitted that was their missile hit the airplane down.

How long will this war to ISIS take? Where those refugees go? During WWII, the Germany was enemy, but now they are the most generous "humanitarians".

    Quoting  :

Canada's Syrian refugee plan limited to women, children and families.

Premiers across the country have indicated how many Syrian refugees their provinces will commit to taking in, and the total exceeds the federal government's goal of 25,000, Immigration Minister John McCallum said Friday.

Refugees should be accepted by any country that can economically support them. This has become a very complicated and messy situation. The underlying problem with relocation of the refugees is religious differences. Especially in the middle east. I'm not sure about the rest of the world, but some of the things my "friends" post on facebook is incredibly cruel and hostile to people from the mid-east. So I know this represents some segment of the US population. People aren't leaving the middle east because they want to. They are leaving due to an overwhelmingly destructive force that has totally ruined their home and economy. The idea that they are all terrorists or criminals is crazy, and inhumane.

China: USA Must Take More Syrian Refugees; We’ll Take Zero, Thanks

from Breitbart (dot com)

The United States should take its responsibility in the disheartening refugee crisis in Europe as its controversial Middle East policies resulted in wars and chaos that displaced large numbers of people,” hectors China’s state-run news agency, Xinhua.

They dwell on the photo of the drowned Syrian toddler — who was not in the process of fleeing from Syria when he died — and the horrid deaths of 70 refugees in a smuggler’s truck in Austria.

China is not generally noted for its genial indulgence of lawbreakers, especially when there are national security implications, but it expects the United States to throw caution to the winds. “Even though it has remained relatively ‘quiet’ on this matter, the United States actually has an inescapable responsibility on what happens today in Europe and the Middle East,” Xinhua pontificates.

It is anyone’s guess why they decided to put the word “quiet” in scare quotes, or what they are even talking about, given that those Syrian refugees are a major topic of conversation — and a point of contention between both Republican and Democratic presidential candidates. Xinhua does, however, lay out what it means by “inescapable responsibility,” and it’s extremely rough on President Obama’s foreign policy:

The United States has made interventions, directly or indirectly, to overthrow Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi and Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak, among other ousted leaders in Middle East.

Savage wars have scourged Iraq, Syria, Yemen and other countries as terrorist attacks take place on a daily basis. Hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians have died in bloody conflicts, while millions have been forced to flee their hometown.

Wars and anarchy in the region have clearly pointed to the failure of the U.S. policies of the Middle East, a mistake that the only super power of the world is reluctant to correct.

Now leaders of the European Union are between a rock and a hard place as the public is urging for more aids for the refugees while the EU countries are having difficulties dealing the flooding of refugees. However, the United States has done nothing substantial to deal with the problem.

Okay, I will change my blog to "Australia promised to take 12,000 refugees." Thanks for the information from two Aussies.

    Quoting  :

I think those refugees have no luxury to choose which country they want to go. They are in desperate to find any country that will accept them. I am afraid many boarders are closed.

Many countries sympathize them but ISIS maybe infiltrate among those refugees. Although Obama pledged to take 10,000 refugees but in the wake of terror attacks on Friday the 13th many states governors (more than 2 dozens states) refuse to accept refugees. TV is talking about this problem today, can state governors refuse to follow Federal government order?

Are you comfortable to have refugees live next to your door? They don't speak English and different religion from you. Do you welcome them as long as they stay in your country? We don't know how long it will take to destroy ISIS, so that refugees can go home to Syria.

    Quoting  :

Have any refugee arrived Australia? Can you provide any Google article to show that Australia will accept 12,000 refugees. If I Google the article is true, I shall change the information in this blog accordingly.

Thank you.

    Quoting papaya1972:
    sentttiiie-11,

    "They have no choice but to accept...."
    I do not agree with that.

    And I think the right to make a decision goes to the people of this country., not anyone outside this country, like you and me.

    The most fair way is to let the people vote for the decision.
    The people are the real owners of the country.
You meant ask Syrian refugees to vote??? It is impossible. They speak different language with Germany, USA, .... They took the risk to come to Europe, some died during the shipwreck. (The picture of a father held his son's lifeless body touched everyone's heart. He lost his wife and 2 sons). Those refugees are millions people. How to put them in many countries? Do you think Saudi Arab will take them? I don't think so. That's why they took so much risk to Germany. They are too many and European countries have their economy recession, terror attacks, ... How can they take care of refugees?

USA is an immigration nation. It is a very generous country to accept so many different countries people. However, USA is a bipartisan country and Congressmen and Senators have the authorities to decide to accept or reject refugees based on their "Security" concern.

Our hearts (Humanity) tell us to accept refugees, but our brain tell us don't. Because we don't know who is good who is evil. ISIS may infiltrate in the refugees. We have learned the 911 terror attack in 2001. This is a tough dilemma - accept or reject refugees to enter USA.

Another big problem is how to destroy ISIS completely? Airstrikes didn't work, so should we send "Ground Troops" to annihilate ISIS?

This is a very complicate things. In the beginning of your response you said "They have no choice but to accept". Who are they? You meant "Germans" or "Syrians"? You can't ask Germany to take all the refugees, they can't. Other countries have to help out because those refugees are too many. U.S. pledged to take 10,000 refugees, but they have many others should spread to many countries. U.S. is going to have Presidential election in 2016 and competition and debates on this topic are very important for voters.

I don't think Germany will take all of refugees. For how long? how to feed them? Where to place them? provide houses and daily essential food? .... Have you think about those problems? Do you want them to be your neighbors? Why Chinese said No,? but Chinese will send "airstrikes". Why Aussie said No, to refugees but willing to send airstrikes? Airstrikes are not a big solution, the refugees lives and how to TRUST them are the most difficult things.

ISIS are "religion extremists", they are brutal, cruel and ruthless. Don't be a "religion extremists". Don't be "brain-washed" by religion.
