Read Maela’s essay. Then answer the following questions.
1 As the global refugee problem continues to grow, so do the debate among host countries about how to handle this influx of refugees. While some argue refugees represent a potential threat and put a strain on a host country’s economy, host countries need to do whatever they can to help refugees.
2 All human life is valuable and refugees are simply looking for a place where they can live freely. Turning them away for a vague sense of “safety” means potentially dooming them and leading them to their deaths.
3 There is little evidence that refugees pose a serious threat, and those who argue that they do are often just fear mongering. A refugee arriving at your border from an area that is controlled by a terrorist state might seem like a threat, but they are running from the same threat you’re afraid of.
4 Regardless of what lines divide us, they are all people. When one of us is in need, we deserve assistance. Turning refugees away because of some vague threat or economic concern is dehumanizing them and prioritizing protection and money over human life.
