Persuasive Essay On Iraq Refugees

594 Words3 Pages

To Whomever It May Concern,

Though there are many different opinions on the matter, the United States should allow refugees from Syria and Iraq to resettle in our country. I feel like this because what is happening to the refugees in their own countries could almost be called a holocaust reprise. They are being targeted because of their religion which is exactly what happened to the Jews in WWII. The refugees are just looking for a place where they can be open about what they believe without being worried that someone will harm them or their family because of this belief. What better place to find this safety than the land of the free? In Syria and Iraq the Islamic State extremist group or ISIS is trying to take power and make its own country. If you do not believe the same as this group, and they find you, you are as good as dead. This same thing happened in the 1900s when Hitler and the Nazi army believed the Jews should all be wiped out. The US has taken the side of the “victims” in both these situations and helped in fighting for the targeted groups’ freedoms. We have taken their sides by joining in on the war, but we also have created safe places for the refugees to resettle. Some people say that we should not help the refugees in fear that we …show more content…

We would not only be providing feelings of freedom and safety, but we would be saving hundreds of lives. In certain areas of Illinois, including Chicago, refugees live happy lives along with their American neighbors. They learn job skills, and make new friendships. The original citizens of the United States are able to learn something too.

    Following conflicts in countries such as Afghanistan, Somalia, Syria and Iraq, the latest estimates say that 1 in 100 of the world’s population displaced, with a substantial amount of these people being refugees. Whether forced by war, poverty, or political reasons to leave their homelands, these refugees are looking to the West, particularly Europe and America, for shelter and are being reluctantly accepted. Here in America, historically and even today, majority of the native population has been against the idea of welcoming refugees (Connor and Krogstad). While majority of Americans have opposed the “Muslim ban,” that does not mean religion is not a reason why people would reject refugees. With nearly half of the refugees being self-reported Muslims and 62 percent of American citizens citing Islamic terrorism as the greatest problem the country faces, it would not be a stretch to say that those who oppose accepting refugees maybe fearful of refugees because of their religious beliefs (Bowman).

    So, if helping the people who are struggling, puts their citizens lives at risk, they usually choose not to. Such as America not helping the citizens in North Korea, if America were to help that would put them at risk of starting a war and no one would want that. Barry R. Posen writes in the New York Times writes, “North Korea may have as many as 250 missile launchers. Some of which could fire nuclear tipped missiles. If some of these mobile units were dispersed at the time of an American attack, it’s unlikely that the US could destroy all of them before one fires a missile”.
