In the mean time. lives were still being lost. homes were still being destroyed. and futures were still being gambled with. Yet. there remained a big elephant questioning his stance in the room: what shall be done with the millions of citizensturnedrefugees who had no where else to go? Thus. the issue of whether or not to accept Syrian refugees swiftly took America by storm. History began to repeat itself as state governors sought to ban refugees from their lands. striking a similar response to that of Franklin D. Roosevelts administration. when. in the time of World War II. refused to let Jewish refugees in America. It was evident that we needed to take measures to help the lives of those who were forced to flee from Syria to foreign lands with nothing left. while at the same time. to not risk minimizing our national security. Logistics aside. it is clear that the Syrian refugee crisis has been a sad burden that. as a leading nation. we needed to face headon. Failure to unite and stand strong with any decisions that we as a nation decide upon unfortunately leads to a disruption of tranquility. We must unite as a country and come to decisive actions in our future international encounters.
