Introduction

Over the past few years, the public debate has shifted towards the question of Syrian refugees. Notably, there have been a lot of arguments which either support or reject the idea of US decision on accepting or refusing the entry of these refugees. But before this debate goes on, it is important for all people to acknowledge the fact that we as Americans have, on several occasion, fallen the victims of various terrorists incidents that claimed the life of thousands of people. More specifically, the 9/11 terrorist attack left 2,751 people dead, and others injured at the world trade center. Other than this incident, the United States has continued to experience considerable incidents and messages of the imminent threats and attacks from the immigrants who are believed to enter the country in the name of being refugees. In this way, therefore, United States should not take the decision of risking the life of many Americans by admitting the Syrian refugees into the United States. This paper will, therefore, offer a discussion against allowing the Syrian refugees into the United States.

Arguments against allowing Syrian refugees

Fundamentally, there will be increased terrorists activities if the nation agrees to admit the Syrian refugees (DelReal 1). It is important to recognize that terrorist attack poses tremendous dangers on the lives of many American citizens. The reason is based on the fact that a terrorist can easily be infiltrated into the United States if we agree to admit the refugees. The Washington Post reported when they interviewed an ISIS commander how they infiltrated an ISIS member in which the refugees accepted by Europe. Admittedly, some nations across the world have experienced series of terrorist attacks through accepting the Syrian refugees. It is true that the Paris attack killed 130 people. Amongst the 198 refugees who arrived at Leros, four were proven to be terrorists. In another incident, the two men with the knives murdered an elderly priest in Catholic Church, and the ISIS accepted the responsibility. Many Americans believe that they will suffer the same fate that other nations such as Sweden and France have. This is in addition to receiving the threats regarding the imminent attack from members of the ISIS, who are believed to be infiltrated through refugees admissions programs. In this way, the United States is justified in rejecting the refugees not capable of reciprocity because any attempt to accept them would have a detrimental and exploitative impact to the whole nation.

It is true that half of the Muslims are inbred and most will continue to do so if admitted into the United States, thereby allowing the spread of this norm. In breeding have tremendous health impacts on the resulting offspring, the major one being a reduced Intelligence Quotient (IQ). It is worth noting that a large percentage of the Muslim population has an IQ of 20 or lower. Regarding the current job requirements in the American economy, it becomes undeniable that there will be a high rate of the unemployed Syrian refugees. According to Taleb (67), it would be the kind of people who come to America to commit the acts of crime with no significant intentions of creating hard or soft contributions to the US economy. In this way, therefore, the United States should only consider admitting any group of refugees who come to contribute labor or consumption, hence eliminating the countervailing exploitation. It would be barbaric to accept the Syrian refugees who come with no significant benefits in the United States but for themselves. Conceivably, the decision to accept these refugees will greatly affect the state of funding in the United States. There is also a possibility of an increased number of children with serious congenital disabilities. Various scientific researchers have shown that inbreeding among a group of people or population can lower populations ability to survive and reproduce, a phenomenon known as inbreeding depression. In case this happens to the majority of the children born of admitted Syrian refugees, the Americas state funding will tremendously increase, thereby leading to increased income and corporate taxation.

Admission of Syrian refugees into the United States will cripple the nation financially (Fahrenthold and Francess 1). According to La Times, California owes a debt of 28 billion, which has affected the states ability to provide sufficient public services, which are the foundation of the Californians. Not only does the Californian suffer from this situation, but all the Americans. Obviously, it would be tremendously awkward to accept the Syrian refugees while a considerable number of citizens in the United States are still living below the standard they are supposed to live. Various reports have further revealed that to maintain the growing Wall of Debt, California has focused its policies and recovery techniques towards increased taxation and the service cut for citizens. As Washington Post reports, it would cost about 1.1 billion dollars to bring 70,000 Syrian refugees into America. An influx of refugees into the United States would, therefore, worsen the situation and therefore should be rejected. Similarly, the cost of rental homes and living has increased over the past few years. This situation is characterized by the inability of people to afford to donate to these Syrian refugees for their expenses. This situation will prevent the nation from achieving its sovereignty (Fahrenthold and Francess 1). Admittedly, some would argue that there are several people willing to donate. However, because of the 2014 recession, charity donations that many Americans relied on have dropped.

Conclusion

In sum, this paper has offered an informative discussion about the cons of allowing the Syrian refugees into the United States and argues that they should not be allowed. Contrary to this opinion however, many argue that the United States should accept Syrian refugees into the nation. The primary reason behind this argument is based on the moral reasoning that the decision would be an act of protecting and saving the humanity. They also believe that the decision is possible because nations like Canada, Germany and Brazil have accepted about 48,000, 400,000 and 8,500 Syrians respectively (Sengupta 1). However, this reasoning is not persuasive and is based on shallow thinking without subjecting the whole issues to a deeper scrutiny. Admittedly, terrorists can infiltrate into the United States with the aim of instigating various terrorist attacks on innocent American citizens. Many nations across the world have experienced series of terrorist attacks through accepting the Syrian refugees. Secondly, the United States will not be able to afford to admit more than 70,000 Syrian refugees, considering its financial status and strength. Lastly, there will be a tremendous possibility of the economy being affected negatively, in case the decision of accepting the refugees is allowed.
