Why Australians Should Welcome Refugees
Why Australians should welcome refugees
The Australian Government and the people of our communities must allow more refugees into our country. They have no choice but to leave their countries and unlike us they can’t just get on a plane to another country. So why won’t we help them? Refugees are often treated badly by Australians but why? Refugees offer a lot to the community, they are hardworking and respectful and they will also do jobs a lot of Australians will not, it just sickens me to think that people think they shouldn’t be allowed into Australia.
Firstly Australia needs to let many more refugees into the country. Compared to other countries like the UK and the USA, Australia lets hardly any refugees in and we have so much room. How would you feel if you were living in a corrupt, third world country dominated by civil wars and terrorism and, finally, after saving up for your whole life could afford to get a ticket on a rickety boat with no guarantee of survival to a country that you have heard so many great things about, where you have rights and freedom and when you arrived you were put in a detention center? This is what happens to them, they get put in there for years and some of them never even get out. Detention centers are like prisons and we need to get rid of mandatory detention centers, a lot of refugees kill themselves in there because their family is gone and they are left there not sure of whether they are going to get out. In some cases it is finally the day when you are let free and you have all these great expectations but you experience racism and you are looked down upon by the people around you. Is that fair?
Secondly it’s not their choice as to whether they flee their country or stay living there. The reasons they have to move often include; there may be civil wars there, their human rights aren’t being respected, they are under threat of prosecution because of their religious beliefs or their life is under threat. You think they
