Save the Children

Today in class we watched an extremely deep video about the children in Syria. It definitely changed my perspective on the topic, but I still have a strong opinion on why we shouldn't let all the refugees into the United States. I think that we should help them, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they have to come to our country. Because in all honesty, I'd rather keep myself and my country safe rather than have them be safe in their own country. That sounds selfish, I know, but we can't always help others even when we want to. If all the refugees split up and some went to each different country that is safer than their own, a lot of lives would be saved that way. I don't understand why the United States is always the place people look to go. Who knows, just because they're white and not Muslim doesn't mean they can't still be a terrorist. I think it's extremely racist to say that people of a different color and religion are more of a threat to you than someone that looks like you, but that's just my opinion.
