Accepting syrian refugees into the U.S. is the least we could do. accepting syrians into countries have become a hard task since people are scared of the repercussions after doing so.  According to  Ignatieff (2015) “The refugee crisis isn’t a ‘European one'” he claims “the worst are the petro states …many of them have been funneling arms into syria for years, and what have they done to give new homes to the four million people trying to flee? Nothing.” if we fund these syrian rebels isn’t it our responsibility to help the people who don’t want to be caught in the middle of it flee? maybe we should listen to Ignatieff he is a former politician who is well known for his work as a historian. Ignatieff also states that “blaming the europeans is an alibi and the rest of our excuses- like the refugees don’t have the right papers- are sickening” and this is true because the U.S. like many other countries can do so much more, this is proven by our past and how we used to ‘be able to rise to the occasion’ according to Ignatieff “canada, sent a government minister to vienna in late 1956  to support a processing center that took in hundreds of hungarians and airlifted them to canada after the soviets crushed the hungarian uprising.”

Claim #3: The refugees were involved in the attacks in Paris; therefore they’ll plan other attacks.How can we criticize this claim? What are possible weaknesses here?  It is interesting to note that Ben Carson’s claim is baseless because history has it that most terrorist attacks that happened in the United States were either committed by U.S. born citizens or people from other countries who come here through other means. There are a few number of  terrorist attacks that were caused by Muslim refuges.  Friedman (2017) reports that ” Over the last four decades, 20 out of 3.25 million refugees welcomed to the United States have been convicted of attempting or committing terrorism on U.S. soil, and only three Americans have been killed in attacks committed by refugees—all by Cuban refugees in the 1970s”,  as cited by Nowrasteh. Ben Carson’s claim  is not based on any evidence, and has no credibility. Throughout his article he has not cited any sample to back his claims. Ben was merely pointing out his personal viewpoint. Friedman (2017) writes , according to Nowrasteh “Between 1975 and 2015, the “annual chance of being murdered by somebody other than a foreign-born terrorist was 252.9 times greater than the chance of dying in a terrorist attack committed by a foreign-born terrorist” .  Muslim refuges that comes to U.S. are low abiding individuals, hard working, loving and caring. There are so many people who hide behind Islam with their hidden agenda and commit crimes in the name of Jihad. Further more Ben has not presented any evidence to substantiate his claims, his claim is weak.
