    Death. That’s most of migrants think about as they cross deserts in the blistering heat and frigid cold while enduring dehydration, and exhaustion. Not only does fear take over their mind, but so does hope, hope that the America will give them what they came and risked their lives for. In my first paper, my mind first went to statistics and basic questions a typical person would ask about immigrants for example, how many immigrants go undocumented? Where do they come from? In what ways do immigrants affect us? But I quickly noticed that I never went researching what happens before the cross and never thought about researching in-depth questions like, In what means of transportation do they get to the borders? What…

    A refugee is someone who flees their home due to wars or endangered safety. There are always new refugees everyday, all over the world, who are looking for a new home. These refugees have thousands of things in common with one another when they are going into their new lives, or, when their lives are turning “inside out and back again.” This is a representation of what all they have in common.…

    Very often, people do not know what a refugee is, and what they have to go through, and once they do get informed about whom they are and their characteristics, they compare them to immigrants. What they don’t know is that these two peoples are very common but only come to a new country because of different reasons.…

    The refugees are more likely to have the common support in our community because of the misconceptions about homeless people being associated with drugs and other personal consequences. Refugees were once a group of human beings who were free and had rights like everybody else until they were stripped away from them, which leads us to sympathize with refugees more than with homeless people who probably ended up in such a situation because of drug abuse, disregarding their education and etc;. Also, there are organizations and charities (that includes soup kitchens and shelters) which have been built to help the homeless in Canada, but refugees do not have that opportunity unless the government do something about them and help them start anew…

    Syrian Refugees Crisis

    To do this, I will first provide some background of the Syrian Refugee crisis and examine the findings of a selection of literature addressing the past economic experiences of refugees settled in Canada. Then, I will evaluate the relative strengths and weaknesses of Canadian policies and make recommendations for improvements. This will lead to my main argument that while Canada performs well in providing basic social services for refugees to establish themselves in Canadian society, more work needs to be done in addressing the economic disadvantages and underemployment experienced by refugee…

    Immigration has been around for years. It is when someone or even a culture comes to live permanently in a foreign country that is of their own. It is important for us now to realize how this was more relevant in earlier years than it is now. Most of it was related to leaving a country due to war whereas now it may be just to live in America or a better place.…

    A series of pro-democracy protests that took place in 2011 in Syria has escalated into a full-blown civil war. Because of this, one of the bigger issues that has risen over the past few years is the amount of people that have fled Syria due to the war. Roughly, over four million Syrian refugees had to flee; most of them are women and children. This has not only developed into a problem for the refugees themselves but to many neighboring countries as well. Some of these include Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan and Greece. The U.N has taken note over the situation since many countries are struggling to accommodate the thousands of refugees that come in on a regular basis.…

    A refugee is a person who leaves his or her country due to a well-founded fear of persecution because of his or her race, religion, nationality, political views, or membership in a particular social group. Once a host country accepts an asylum seeker to become a refugee, the host county has a moral obligation to ease the transition from a refugee to a fully participating citizen. This may include subsidized housing, job training, and other financial and social services. This is good for the incoming refugee and good for the economy of the host country. Refugees deserve to be supported financially.…

    It should be noted that direct comparision between these immigrants and the native population is impossible, mostly due to the different socio-political factors surrounding each population. That is why the study compared different demographics between immigrants and refugees from the same origin. There were five areas of origin for the majority of these refugees: Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, the Middle East, Somalia, and former Yugoslavia.…

    Refugees In Canada

    From 2005 to 2014, about 26,000 refugees who arrived in Canada annually were forced to leave their countries due to fear and persecution.1,2 The United Nations defines a refugee as "someone who is unable or unwilling to return to their country of origin owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion”.3 Refugees in Canada are divided into two groups: those that have obtained the refugee status within Canada (both privately-sponsored [PSR] and government-assisted [GAR]) and refugee claimants who are awaiting government decision. Refugee claimants can come from Designated Countries of Origin (DCOs) (countries deemed safe by the federal government) or from non-DCO countries. DCO claims are processed faster to ensure that protection is given to those in need and those with unfounded claims are sent back quickly.4 Refugees differ from immigrants as they were forced to flee their home countries while immigrants willingly chose…

    Consequently, the topic of refugees of war often brings with it the question of national security. After September 11, 2001, terrorism became more prevalent in the minds of every American. For many Americans, the answer to this threat is to close borders to immigration completely. However, if all the borders closed completely, the U.S. economy would suffer greatly from the drastic loss of foreign visitors and foreign students (Griswold). Griswold sums up the issues with this belief by saying, “The problem is not that we are letting too many people into the United States but that the government has failed to keep the wrong people out.” Blocking all immigration doesn’t solve the threat of terrorism as many terrorist attacks are not carried out…
