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.
@95BRZ3K2yrs2Y
Plan the integration before accepting
@952R2DS2yrs2Y
First, not all Syrians are Muslim. I have met a Catholic man from Syria that was coming to Sweden to meet his family who were coming into Sweden because the USA would not allow them in. The man had been living in California for several years and trying to get his family in to be with him. He was a medical doctor in California working at a hospital as a brain surgeon. Sweden hopefully benefited from this family coming to Sweden. It was clearly a big loss to the USA to have this fellow leave and move to Sweden.
@94SYSB82yrs2Y
We should but there should be a cap and government should support them to give them jobs and help get education if needed to help them secure higher qualified jobs.
@94SYP9V2yrs2Y
Sweden does not have the proper social structure in place to take a large number of refugees however I do not believe that Sweden should stop accepting them because they had no choice in the matter. And there should not be a double standard between refugees coming from Syria, and the refugees coming from Ukraine.
@94NFX3Y2yrs2Y
Limit the numbers to whatever you can integrate into society, Without segregation or price hikes in real estate.
Extensive background checks is a must. They must be given conditions that they will be useful to society. There must be conditions in place that they should be employed or pay taxes if they must be give social benefits
@94HH78J2yrs2Y
Yes. As long as they can be integrated into society ( follow the Swedish laws and have the same rights as all the other tax paying citizens) and only after an extensive background check.
@94B4TK52yrs2Y
Europe needs native white, Christians people and they don't needs any more illegal immigrants from another continent.
@93RNBB32yrs2Y
Yes, but only accept families (regarless of gender and religious backgrounds)
@93B75JX2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if they plan to integrate into Swedish society, meaning they will learn the language and culture
@939ZRCQ2yrs2Y
Don't accept more than we are capable of.
@92WQL59Sweden Democrats2yrs2Y
Yes if they're completely checked upon entering
@92MC3WS2yrs2Y
We should let them in but in propper amounts
@92M8YB62yrs2Y
Yes but have a plan for them. Don't just accept them and not integrate them into the society
Some, but less than it is today
@8Z72B52Sweden Democrats2yrs2Y
Nej, för tillfället har vi fullt men möjlighet ska finnas inom snar framtid
No, Syria has virtually ended its decades long civil war, and nowadays is rebuilding itself.
Only those who will attribute to Sweden’s prosperity.
@8Y56F6S2yrs2Y
Only after making sure that immigrant alredy in the country can get citizenship and a job, don't send back people juat to take in more, that is a waste of money.
@8XZPFT42yrs2Y
yes but do actual backgroundchecks and only if they will respect our lawes rules and standards
@8XCLCM92yrs2Y
No, refugees should only be accepted by the nearest safe country from where they are escaping.
Yes, but they should be accepted by the immigration service
Yes and no, we should have a stable economy and a stable housing economy before we take in refugees.
@8TGGPZ23yrs3Y
Yes, but prioritize people from other countries.
Yes, but better assimilation and the number needs to reflect whether Sweden can cope. So a % of the whole population needs to be taken in to account
@8RZ8XRYSweden Democrats3yrs3Y
Yes, but limit total number of immigration from all countries
@8QSK2H8Sweden Democrats3yrs3Y
No, we have taken in too many immigrants and we need to drastically reduce immigration
@8K67JT24yrs4Y
It needs to be decided from case-to-case regardless of the country of origin.
Accept some but also make sure Other countries are taking in refugees as well
Yes, but only educated people with proper background checks.
Yes, but not as many as usual
@93WVTRT2yrs2Y
Divide them equally with others countries. Why should my taxes have to pay for 100% of refugees? Europe should divide refugees between all of their countries and the u s could take a certain percentage.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, we should help make safe zones in their country.
@93MFRG22yrs2Y
They should be settled in countries close to Syria that have the same kind of culture and language as them.
@93HTZPV2yrs2Y
No, we should send refugees to closer countries.
@93G2RP72yrs2Y
Yes, but the government should spend any money on getting them to the United States or taking care of them
@8T9D7X52yrs2Y
Yes, but if only they are threatened non-Muslim minorities like Assyrians or Druze.
@93DSRN92yrs2Y
Yes, but with reasonable background checks.
@9375CQF2yrs2Y
yes, with extreme background checks
@9375CLT2yrs2Y
yes, with intense background check.
@92ZYZRW2yrs2Y
Yes but only if they have proof of identity.
@9334YP32yrs2Y
Yes, but only heterosexual cisgender Christians.
@932YGD72yrs2Y
Yes, but with circumstances that allow them to become legal citizens or stay on a visa.
@92ZLLSS2yrs2Y
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
@92YTSSF2yrs2Y
Yes with background checks, and other careful ways of looking into their reason.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, we should accept 10,000 refugees but only after extensive background checks.
@92MTVGV2yrs2Y
yes, but only as many as we can help
@92MDVFR2yrs2Y
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.
@92K4VXS2yrs2Y
U.S. can only take in so many so we could take some but not all.
@92GWJXX2yrs2Y
No, make safe zones in their own country so they don't destroy ours.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, set up free zones there instead.
