    If a family came as refugees, will we accept them, even if they are Syrians?
    They have the right as a family to come into the United States, especially if there are younger children with the family. It is not fair to the point where they are not allowed to come in if they are running from difficult and harsh times in Syria. They shouldn't have to keep living the life they are, the children should be given an opportunity, and it is not fair for the children be living the life they are given. They should be given the best opportunity, and the best education as they are young now.

    Our governors fear the threat of a Paris-like terrorist attack in America, so they categorize people into groups like Muslim and American sympathizers. If you want to be a good samaritan then you will think about taking in Syrian Refugees. Jeb Bush is Satan and Ted Cruz is not a real American because they both want to keep Syrians out of the country which kills people. Barack Obama likes to save refugees and he is trying to bring in Syrian refugees, as a result he is creating lots of controversy. Isis, as a terrorist organization, gains power through fear, and they are ruining most Syrian lives because of the stunt they pulled in Paris. Here are some facts
    Most terrorists have temporary visas
    They are not always Middle Eastern
    There are much easier and safer ways to get into America than posing as refugees.
    Refugees are running for their lives why would they want to be terrorist if they were they could get into the country so easily that it is actually scary.
    Coming to America goes against what ISIS believes in.
    Taking in refugees will undermine the statement ISIS makes that they are the only hope for Syrians to escape oppressive government.

    “The Syrian Conflict”
    The article has many pros and cons to offer,one in which was stated by Chris Christie. The article is bias, and has different opinions. Since 2012, the United States has accepted 2,174 Syrian Refugees. The world has committed to accepting 10,000 refugees. Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey states, he will no longer accept refugees even if orphaned under the age of 5. So far only 158 refugees have been relocated. By rejecting Syrian Refugees, American governors are in fact helping ISIS. The article just go back and forth with many pros and cons, but honestly it states more pros. We focused more on the pros of the article as it states the most positive facts of the argument. The article is a battle between America and Syrian refugees, in which both battle to accept an understanding of the difficulties each of the countries are giving each other. In conclusion, as the article continues to list the pros and the cons of allowing Syrians as refugees, the pros of the argument lead to the debate in which they finally should be allowed despite the difficulties they are bringing to the United States.

    Syrian Conflict Summary
    Summary of Syrian refugees in America: separating fact from fiction in the debate
    In the article, Syrian Refugees in America, the republicans have voted that they want to make it more difficult for refugees to get to the U.S. They are only doing this because of the attack in Paris, but what the U.S. doesn’t know is that we are actually helping ISIS because they want us to be afraid of the refugees. The governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, said that New Jersey won't even accept orphans under the age of 5. The process that the refugees have to go through to get to the U.S. takes anywhere from 18 months to 2 years. If Refugees don’t want to wait almost 2 years to get into the U.S., They can find someone in Europe to smuggle them across the border for $1,000. Also in Europe they only have to get fingerprinted and they don’t need identification. After they are transported to Europe they can go to Germany, Austria or Sweden and claim asylum. Obama has committed to taking 10,000 of the Syrian refugees in his coming year. 80,000 Syrian refugees have been granted asylum in the EU so far this year. This article has a point it isn’t fair for people that have been born and raised in the United States to have to make room for refugees to come live in our country. We have to worry about our people before thinking about other countries people at the moment.
