Refugees Persuasive Speech

Right now hundreds of refugees are fleeing the war ravaged country of Syria with nothing but what they can carry. The United States does have a responsibility to take in the refugees because we are the great “Melting Pot” of the world, we help those in need and we stop those who are harmful. We are not doing any of the refugees a favor by turning them away at our gates, those who argued so strongly against the deporting of illegal immigrants, this is just as bad because these people need our help. The war in Syria has caused people to leave everything they love, their home and their country to find somewhere safe. That safe place should be the U.S, our country is safe and large enough to support these people 's so why are we turning them away.
Very recently the U.S agreed to take in 110,000 more refugees from war torn countries. This is under the refugee act of 1980. This act enables refugees to come into the U.S. originally the plan was to only let 10,000 refugees into the U.S but it was changed to 110,000 in 2016. We have only taken in 85,000 that is only 77.3 percent of the refugees what we promised to …show more content…

If you read the base of The Statue of Liberty you will notice that it reads “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” This quote states that we should take in people who need our help and right now that means the refugees, so I ask you again why are we turning them

Moreover, a lot of people die because they don’t have enough nourishment and water or they got shot from the U.S. border patrol or automatically triggering guns, which are frequently erected in the “no-man’s-land“. Because of that, some of the fleeing Mexicans hire so-called “coyotes“, who smuggle them to the U.S.. These coyotes demand high payment and they don’t shrink from violence if the refugees can’t pay. So some immigrants get kidnapped or even murdered by

The explanations for their movement include issues such as social, racial, religious and political persecution, war, climate change, hunger and gender orientation. These vulnerable refugees have no other choice than to seek protection and we are denying their human rights and stripping away their human dignity. A United Nations Refugee Agency survey conducted in Australia in 2011 showed that 35% of people favoured turning back boats or detention of arrivals and deportation, while only 22% favoured eligibility for permanent settlement. Clearly there is much controversy surrounding this issue as it can create many effects within a nations, both positive and negative.

The refugees are facing prejudice just as the Joads did. And the prejudice towards them is a harvest of fear. Along with prejudice, the refugees are faced with discrimination.

    Leaders and governments around the world have labelled refugees as being a burden on their country either directly or indirectly. These leaders only see them as people who are trying to get into their country to escape the civil war, but fail to see that the refugees are also risking their lives in the process. At present, there are approximately 54.5 million refugees that are displaced, the largest refugee crisis the world has ever seen and they have nowhere to go. The question of doing the right thing and taking them in has been squashed due to various reasons and it appears to be that each country has adopted the ‘each man for himself’ policy by stating that it is their duty to only look after its citizens and no one else.

    Finally, from the Syrian civil war, 250,000 unfortunate people have died. When multitudes of people migrate to one country, that country would, in turn, become extremely pressured. “The pressures caused by massive influxes of people can be overwhelming”(“What's Driving the Global Refugee Crisis?”). Every year, Germany alone spends 21.7 billion dollars on anything which is refugee related, and with oncoming demand in Germany, this number continues to grow higher. The European Refugee Crisis has also displaced nine million Syrians’ homes, making it troublesome for countries to house them.
