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.

No, make safe zones in their own country so they don't destroy ours.
@924BCN43yrs3Y
Yes, on a part time visa until their country is safe to go back to
@8D762624yrs4Y
Only families with kids.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Make safe zones in these countries for the people.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Sure, but make safe zones in these countries so these people do not need to come to ours.
@8Z2VTYT3yrs3Y
yes but they need to become citizens or they should be deported
@93MFRG23yrs3Y
They should be settled in countries close to Syria that have the same kind of culture and language as them.
@93DSRN93yrs3Y
Yes, but with reasonable background checks.
@92ZYZRW3yrs3Y
Yes but only if they have proof of identity.
@932YGD73yrs3Y
Yes, but with circumstances that allow them to become legal citizens or stay on a visa.
@8YWHYGD3yrs3Y
Yes, and accept refugees from Ukraine and Russia, as well.
@st606450783yrs3Y
Yes, and accept refugees from Ukraine and Russia.
@8ZTRY8J3yrs3Y
only accept if they are not going to mean us any harm and must come in the right way
Deleted4yrs4Y
Make safe zones in Syria for these refugees.
@8WFZKL63yrs3Y
Yes, but have a background check only
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, we should focus on Afghanistan more.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, I would prefer a permanent immigration ban no matter which country they came from, for the most part. Mexican females and White males make for the next generation - this is the only good kind of interbreed. Mexican males should be sent back.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Make safe zones in Syria for those who want to stay. Allow people that helped us leave if they want to.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, set up free zones there instead.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, make safe zones in Syria so we do not have to deal with these people.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, make safe zones in the country so they don't destroy ours.
@ThomasJj883yrs3Y
No, safe zones should be set up there.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, make safe zones in their country.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Make safe zones in Syria and so on for those trying to flee. The western world doesn't want these people ruining our societies. Just look at Germany and how these men rape the women in the streets. What does one expect from a disgusting religion.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Make safe zones in these countries instead of allowing so many of them into our western nations.
@8MF33G54yrs4Y
Yes. Some people need refuge from poverty or war.
@8MNJHTX4yrs4Y
Don’t know what this means
@4CJ33T74yrs4Y
Yes, but only the Christian minority which has been persecuted the most.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, we have already accepted over 10,000 refugees, and should wait before accepting more.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Make safe zones in their own countries. We need to be focusing on the homelessness issue before letting in more people.
@92K4VXS3yrs3Y
U.S. can only take in so many so we could take some but not all.
@9334YP33yrs3Y
Yes, but only heterosexual cisgender Christians.
@92YTSSF3yrs3Y
Yes with background checks, and other careful ways of looking into their reason.
@93HTZPV3yrs3Y
No, we should send refugees to closer countries.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, we should help make safe zones in their country.
@92ZLLSS3yrs3Y
background checks are important but i don’t think extensible and continuous checks and monitoring are necessary; if they are clear the first or second time, then surely they’re okay
@9375CLT3yrs3Y
yes, with intense background check.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Make safe zones in Syria so they don't destroy our western nations
Deleted4yrs4Y
Make safe zones for migrants in their own countries.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, we have too many people
@8RQGX4K4yrs4Y
Yes, but only after extensive background checks only
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, there should be safe zones in their own country so they do not have to leave.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Make safe zones in Syria so they don't come to our country.
Deleted4yrs4Y
There should be safe zones in their own country so they do not have to leave.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, set up safe zones inside these countries.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, make safe zones in there own countries.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, make safe zones in their country so they do not destroy ours.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, India is currently overpopulated
Deleted4yrs4Y
Set up "safe" zones there so they do not destroy our country.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, we should instead attempt to find them new homes in allied nations but in the event that we do allow them they must undergo a strict background check
@8VLY6RK3yrs3Y
There is no room in America for extra people. There are so many homeless people so if we welcome the Syrians, they won't have a place to stay.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Make safe zones so they don't migrate.
Deleted4yrs4Y
We should have one standard for immigrants. It should focus on the welfare of the US and of US citizens. Whether a potential immigrant is a refugee or not is not the relevant consideration.
Deleted4yrs4Y
@8WN9BPJ3yrs3Y
Yes, we should accept refugees in Syria and we have the right to take refugees in jail only if they made any violence against people or society.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Make safe zones in these countries so these people do not need to come to ours.
@8FBBSLX4yrs4Y
I don´t know how to answer this
@8QLPGWB4yrs4Y
Yes, we should accept refugees from Syria, but we should have background checks without monitoring them.
@8QNP2M54yrs4Y
Yes, as long as they are truly refugees. It is okay to have scrutiny and we should help those who truly need help but be careful to keep individuals who wish to do use harm from coming in through those means.
@8N97QNN4yrs4Y
Help the innocent in other ways.
@8YHQZWY3yrs3Y
yes As long as they are not causing harm or dangerous
@6K36GJH4yrs4Y
They are trying to leave Syria. Yes.
@8L2VFC44yrs4Y
On a case-by-case basis, have background checks etc.
@8RBQDDP4yrs4Y
No, we should eliminate any opportunity for terrorists to enter the country, but we should work with the U.N to find a solution
@8HDWQKS4yrs4Y
Yes, but only after extensive background checks and continuous monitoring to ensure they have no terrorist connections and not more than our fair share. We should also considering helping near by countries that have similar cultures to the refugees, so that they can help take them in.
@8H2MQ6D4yrs4Y
there is still a pandemic going on
@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.
@6HDD83R4yrs4Y
Only Syrian Christians, Jews, and liberal*, secular, heterosexual and asexual, centrist and rightist, religiously tolerant, and monogamist Muslims
* liberal Muslims as in Muslims who are more open minded about their sons & daughters marrying non-Muslims (e.g. Christians) or even converting to Christianity upon their marriage to their non-Muslim spouse (e.g. the first lady of Argentina who converted to Roman Catholicism from Islam, where she stated in an interview with La Nación newspaper in 2012, that her father is a liberal Muslim who did not object to one of Juliana's sisters marrying a Christian and the other a Jew)

@8G9P6TS4yrs4Y
Yes, but they should require strict background checks, and there should be a limit of around 5000.
@7YJZJKK4yrs4Y
Yes. But no single Muslim men and conduct extensive background checks
@8VRMDNQ3yrs3Y
No, refugees should go to countries that are closer to their home country. That way if conditions improve in their home country they can return.
@9284RDV3yrs3Y
Yes, b ut not without a comperehnsive agenda which will promote integration, equity, and equal protections
@8LSSB834yrs4Y
Yes, if we have done a background check, and depending on why they may be here, they should be accepted.
@8TD78PC4yrs4Y
@8QBK6PM4yrs4Y
yes, if they go through the process to become an American citizen like other people who have come to America legally
@8R2KPRF4yrs4Y
I would say no because in the U.S. there are too many people in the U.S. and jobs would be ostly taken by everyone else.
@9375CQF3yrs3Y
yes, with extreme background checks
@8X8VVMH3yrs3Y
@8XH4JN83yrs3Y
Only if they go through the proper citizenship process and have extensive back ground checks.
@MilesBHuff4yrs4Y
No, we should never accept any refugees -- only proper immigrants
@7NN387N4yrs4Y
No isis has been defeated so send back all refugees
@7VSJ8PL4yrs4Y
No, but send aid to countries that are willing to take on more refugees
@8BYLJPN5yrs5Y
This is a touchy subject because this could lead to an alliance and alliances can get us dragged into things we don't want to be a part of. I thing the right thing would be to assist them but only with extensive background checks.
@85QWNPG3yrs3Y
Yes, we should accept some refugees from every country in crisis, but it is more important that we make sure these individuals are not harmful radicals and therefor they should be held in neighboring sympathtetic territories until that can be assertained to the best of our ability.
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
Yes, but only after extensive background checks and intermittent monitoring to ensure they have no terrorist connections
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
Yes, but only accept a precautionary number of 10,000 refugees once extensive background checks are completed to confirm they have no terrorist connections.
@8CN7P7L4yrs4Y
Yes, but they need to come legally
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, we should accept 10,000 refugees but only after extensive background checks.
@8CR2TN84yrs4Y
Yes, if we have the resources available to split them all into different communities and monitor them.
@8CY5FJV4yrs4Y
we should accept any refugee within reason with background checks
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
Yes, but only after extensive background checks and intermittent monitoring to ensure they have no terrorist connections.
@8D32KPS4yrs4Y
We should have serious security regulations put into place.
@8D3CNCH4yrs4Y
Yes at there own will though
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
Yes, we should accept 10,000 refugees once extensive background checks are completed to confirm they have no terrorist connections
@RickStewart3yrs3Y
We should accept refugees from any country where our actions created the refugees. If our country did not, we have no moral obligation to accept refugees, but we should strive to be magnanimous when we are able.
@8WMTRSD3yrs3Y
use them in proffestional shooting as targets
