"Syrians in Crisis"

"Syrians in Crisis" 

By: Anthony Gonzalez

You have been forced out of your home, because of all of the destruction. You travel thousands of miles. You risk your lives seeking safety. Some of you have died during this long, grueling trip. Eventually you make it to somewhere safe, but only turned down at the entrance. Not being allowed to enter the country.

  Currently, there are thousands upon thousands of syrian refugees outside of the country not being allowed to enter the country. Even with this mind they are letting a few refugees in, they are still not letting in half of the thousands of refugees, because according to the article, “A total amount of 38,901 Muslim refugees entered the U.S. in fiscal year 2016, making almost half (45%)...”. This shows that even though they are letting in a lot of them, they are still thousands of Syrian Refugees still being denied entry into our country.

    With all of the drama going on with the Syrian Refugees some might forget that the Right of Asylum, is being violated. The right of Asylum is one of the universal human rights which means that everyone should have this right, no matter race or religion. But that's not the case with the Syrian Refugees, which is totally unacceptable.
