Should the US take in more refugees? | The Tylt

People are primarily concerned with the possibility of terrorists slipping into the United States along with the refugees. Many of these fears have been fanned by attacks in Europe, some of which have been tied to people posing as refugees. 

Donald Trump has built much of his presidential campaign around the idea of keeping refugees and immigrants out. This message is resonating with a large swath of America who think the government should improve living conditions for Americans before helping others. 

The United States has taken in few Syrian refugees compared to Germany and Canada. People are criticizing the United States for not doing enough:

"Slightly more than 10,000 Syrian refugees have been resettled in the United States this year. By comparison, Germany has taken in nearly 500,000 Syrians, and Canada 35,000."

No one becomes a refugee by choice. It's a human duty to help.

These are the refugees who get taken in.
