Syrian Refugee Crisis

Refugee Crisis in Europe Prompts Western Engagement in Syria

This article discusses the Syrian Refugee Crisis occurring and the Western world's involvement during it. Syria has a huge war right now and many are attempting to escape by going to upwards towards Europe. There is a lot of conflict surrounding whether specifically America should let these refugees in.

I personally think it is okay to let the refugees come into America. America should stand for freedom since everyone who immigrated here since the beginning was searching for personal freedom. It is also a mix of many cultures and diversities and should be accepting of everyone. I hope Syria finds peace soon.

America should also focus more of their attention of the mental health problems in our society that way more people will be willing to think things through before deciding to kill.
