The threats we received from terrorism has become a giant problem in today’s society, we fear from going to some big event such as a big sporting events that will resolve in being attacked, due to past terrorist attacks that occurred. A few examples of these terrorism attacks that occurred would be the Boston marathon and the bombing in the Germany vs France soccer game before the European Cup which resulted in an unbelievable amount of security on all areas of France after. Due to terroristic threats occurring at major events, the people fear from experiencing some of the most entertaining events the world has to offer. By terrorists proving there strengths they might go on to do more drastic attacks to cause bigger problems.
The people of The US, have mostly agreed that the number one problem that we face in The US is terrorism, according to Rebecca Riffkin, in her article “Americans Name Terrorism as No. 1 U.S. Problem” she claims about one in every six americans would say they feel terrorism is the biggest problem going on in the world so that should be the first things we solve in America, rather then worrying abouts others issues. If the people agree on a problem, the goverment should react to this problem first before the sitautions gets worse.
Terrorism is also been a problem in Syria with ISIS getting involved and causing mostly chaos and forcing people out of the country and deported to countries willing to accept these Syrians. ISIS is not a fan of the Syrians leaving, if these Syrians leave and they are gone, they have no one to terrorise which defeats the whole problem of terrorizing these people. By The US allowing these people to come into our own country causes many problems. Which in may have ISIS feel like they need to attack countries who are letting in these Syrians so that they can contain power in Syria. But a benefit could come out of having Syrians stay in Syria in terms of defeating ISIS. By having Syrians stay in Syria we allow ISIS to be all in one area of the world rather then in all different countries, which will allow the counter terrorism programs to interven and finish the problem easily.
First off this will be a threat to ISIS and will cause them to do an unethical response such as another attack in fear of retaliation. The people of America feel unsafe already with terrorism so why should the government go looking out for more problems. They should be fixing their own problem and exterminating terrorism here first. Once they do so, they can prepare for these other problems that may occur in the future. By getting involved with these issues in Syria we cause the national security to get into self defense mood, which will cause more fear for the american people which is not something the people would look forward too.
Another problem with letting in these Syrian refugees is we don’t truly know who is coming in. Many of these people are coming in with past histories such as rape and murder, know we are letting these people in with these lifestyles. By letting these Syrians in with these types of lifestyles they will inflict this on our own people because the government didn’t know who they were truly letting in. As well as some of these Syrian refugees have forged papers and are really with ISIS, know we are letting in these people who we are trying to take out and defeat. The US should have great knowledge of the people in the country, and if they don’t then how could they truly promise the people of US there safety. By having these Syrians in your causing more problems rather then solving one, these people have all different types of life styles that we may not be aware of that they could inflict on our own people so why just stop the problem by not letting them in.
The best bet for the US would be to let other countries take action on the problems that are going on in Syria and just have the US worry about themselves. Even though other would believe to stop terrorism we should go attack it head on, which could be a way to go about it but in worrying about our people of America we should let others intervene and fix our own problems first and then help other countries. The US has many issues to deal with between its own problems to worry about how another country is doing and ealing with there problems. If it is such a big concern to the world why hasn’t anyone else stepped in and interven.
