They are supposed to take 10000 refugees, but some people are saying that it will be better to take more like 70000 refugees. However, some people opposed to this decision saying that it can cause problem to the country, but the United sates is a big country that can accept even more like 130000 refugees. They want the refugees to come and enrich the US, it will help grow the economy and it is the right thing to do.

Within this article, the author talks about how illegal immigrants have been having their children born here in America abroad. The author brings evidence and statistic to show how the number of immigrant childbirth has decreased from 9% of the American population to 8% only within 1 year. He later on cites Donald Trump who is a candidate running for the 2016 presidency. The author then states the main reason of why immigrants intend to have their children born in America, which is to get the American citizenship. Donald then states that this is the main reason of why these illegal immigrants come across to America.

This article published in the U.S. News, which is a popular online website that treat problem all around the world, show us the program that U.S have for Syrian refugees. Refugees are spread everywhere in the U.S, and those one will have a lot of restriction like paying the flight that bring them to the U.S. Also, they will have to find a job, and the government can’t assist them forever, so they will have to live like U.S citizens. This article is useful to show the restrictions that United States apply to refugees.

Bernard Gordon discuses in his article how immigrants are affecting the jobs in America. The author mentions how another author states that having immigrants is good, but Bernard argues that he is wrong and the job opportunities should be given to other American citizens. It is affecting African Americans who drop out of school to work. He states that the problem aren’t the labor workers, they are still needed in farms and ranches. He also concludes with a good question to whom should the priority be for, the seekers of citizenship or the people born in America?

Niel Shah explains the statistics of why now China and India top Mexico in the number of immigrants in the United States. In 2013 Mexico had 125k immigrants while China topped with 147k and India also above at 129k. he later explains why these numbers went up and it was because of these nations going to study, work, and unite with family over there. But a shift in the American immigrant community is still far off down the future line if it continues. Now two thirds of the Hispanic population in America is no longer immigrants, but native-born.

This video of CNN news shows us that even if the American government said that US will accept 10 000 refugees, some governors still don’t want to accept Syrian refugees in their states, and they even close the borders. President Obama gave a speech in which he talks about the fact that some political leaders asked for a religion test before accepting these refugees, and he said that it was a shame. So after studying what the public thinks about this issue, I think it’s important to know what political leaders think about it, and especially governors, senators, and the president.
