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.
We should pull out of the middle east and quit terrorizing them. We are the biggest terrorists in the world.

I 100% think that the U.S. should take refugees from Syria. I personally believe that in order to prove that we are the great nation so many people think we are, taking in these refugees should be a priority for us. We should use what we have been blessed with to bless others from less fortunate countries in the world. Some say that it us not our duty to be responsible for foreigners and that it's not our problem ;however, it should be. We should want to take in refugees, want to help these people, and want to take this small step in making our world better. If we live with the mindset of " I… Read more
Israel opened its borders to jews after WW2 so in that sense I am open to accepting refugees. However because of BLM and other free for all groups, I feel like the US has become a battle ground within its own borders and at this point in time, we can not accept refugees until the US cleans up from within.
No, we should, instead set up a "save heaven" closer to Syria so that the refugees aren't a threat to our country, but are also safe
We should allow only persons who can PROVE that they are who they say they are and only after extensive checks. They should have to report their whereabouts on a continuous basis
for several years. They should not be allowed in unless someone vouches for and takes financial responsibility for them
They need safety. We should take them and do the same thing that was done to the Japanese during WW2. We should give them all of the necessities of life including good living quarters (mobile homes would be good), medical care, education. For the ones who want to stay here there should be, along with background checks and continuous monitoring, the learning of our language and customs and the acceptance of both.
Not just no.. But HELL no. When we were faced with a revolution 240 years ago, we stood up and fought. Let them stay in their own country and do the same. The Syrian "refugee crisis" is nothing less than an orchestrated invasion of Europe and the US.
yes but send them back to Syria after the civil war has ended
@658DTK96mos
No, and this is important, if there is more than a normal chance they will find time to arrange to kill people - at all, they must not be let in. But, you must be sure. Most of them who become terrorists are actually in need of sleep and food and love. But this does not mean it is time for a love-in with them. If keeping them out is necessary for our country to defend itself, they ought be kept out, but as soon as they are educated and become people with wonderful dispositions who will enhance our population because they are really nice people and make a good effort to get along with others, they can come in if we're sure. We are good people and should not be being killed by people with agendas like some of those people have. They are misguided and sad people and going nowhere good. I will accentuate the "BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY" phrase here.
Send all illegals and anchor babies, and refugees out of this country. They broke the law. The country is not stable now and no new citizens for 5 years.
Depends on the amount
@9TB9GTJRepublican12hrs
We will accept but other nations should share similar responsibilities
yes, but background checks for everyone no matter where they come from
Yes, but we should prioritize aid against instability in Syria to prevent the creation of more refugees
We should only take an amount that is acceptable for our country and help the rest to settle into different countries other then the U.S.
This is not a quiz about Israel!
No, but they should have to go through a back round check.
Yes, but make sure they are given a god place to stay and not just thrown into some dump area
No, unless they wish to become legal U.S. citizens
I do not have enough info to answer this
Accept woman and children and send the men back to fight for their country
Somewhat, only families, no single men or anything else period. Deep background check, screening and Historical test for our country.
if they come here legally and pass a background check
I don't see how I have a say in this
Yes but, no. There should be a system set up to make sure they are who they say they are. Just like when you go through airport security.
Well for some things yes because some could be bad some could be good
Yes, as long as we have done a background check and it's safe
As any immigrant, if they pass the background checks and balances then it should be ok
I'm not educated in this yet
Yes, but I think that checks should be done to see if they are think to terrorists
Yes but only make sure that you don't accept the bad people you although should allow the good people to come into the U.S.
I don't have enough information to form a opinion
Yes, but only women, children, elderly and disabled. No men of "fighting" age. Also once their country has been returned to normal send them back home.
Yes, we should use the same criteria we use for all immigration regardless of the origin.
Yes, spread them way out so they don’t form “little Mogadishu’sl” so to speak.
Unsure about this topic
We should accept anyone regardless of where they came from
Yes but they have to work to be able to become a citizen of America.
Yes as long if we have done background checks check all of their records.
It would make sense because we are allies but we don’t want illegals to get in either
Yes, but I do believe we should do a background check beforehand.
Yes, but after doing a background check to make sure they aren't terrorists
They should do backround check to make sure they don't have criminal history or drug abuess
We are at fault due to the fact that our recent president has bombed it all you have to do is just have boarder checker check them for any crime and everything they've done and If the can help the country
yes but try to make them legal citizen
Only if they come in legally. As well as a in depth background check.
Yes, but they need extensive background checks, and need to go through all the legal paperwork to stay here legally
We could but the mass of terrorism could go up but is good because of more people
Yes, when they go through the proper steps.
