Why Is This Our Problem?
One of the most hotly debated political topics is over accepting Syrian refugees, and what to do about the Syrian civil war.
Because of the millions of civilians that have fled their home countries due to the conflicts in the middle east. This has become the worlds most pressing humanitarian crisis, and will only get worse the more we leave it untouched, and not only is there the civil war in Syria, but ISIS insurgencies and other terrorist groups that are taking advantage of the instability in the region. The people that are fleeing are so desperate to get away they are risking their lives in order to cross the Mediterranean in unstable and dangerous boat trips that are often over flowing with families and are too heavy to actually make the journey. Its crucial for Americans to see the ways in which they can help the refugees.
