War has divided the country on a new issue, whether to accept or deny Syrian refugees from entering the country. The pros and cons to this vary in different ways and can be difficult to decide what can be done to help give aid without risking our lives at the same time. The main cons of accepting Syrian refugees are obvious, the fear of Isis militants pretending to be refugees to infiltrate America and attack us. It is believed that it was that same tactic an Isis militant used in the Paris attacks. After the San Bernadino attacks by Isis, the fear is that we will be attacked again by Isis except the damage done could be much worse than before. A way of deterring this would be to not accept any refugees at all. Screenings are also used to detect if they are truly a refugee. However, this creates another con. A con of us being wrong about the refugees and letting them suffer when we can give them safety and refuge from war. Many of these refugees are children and other families that had to put their life on hold to escape.
Pros to accepting Syrian refugees are saving the lives of innocent people from harms way from war. The more refugees we take in, the more people we save and in turn can show the rest of the other nations that they should have nothing to fear and follow our example of accepting refugees as well.

Introduction
The Syria civil war, which has been going on for over 31 months, has caused a lot of consequences both in the country as well as in the United States of America. With the wars death toll being estimated to be over 110 000, another 2 million plus refugees have been created. The most affected groups have been reported to be women and children. The use of chemical weapons only by the Syrian President known as Bashar al-Assad, has led to death toll of over 1 200 civilians (The Lancet, 2015). Due to fear of war effects, most civilians have found their way to the United States. The entry of large numbers of refuges from Syria has hence caused a lot of effects, both positive and negative as discussed below.
Pros for Syrian Refugees in US
Promotion of Peace
The act of welcoming refugees in the American soil has led to boost of peace ties and maintenance of the global neighborhood safe. Failure to welcome refugees in America could lead to Syrian war spilling to the allies of America such as Jordan and Turkey which can have devastating consequences (Elasrag, n.d.). The activity of absorbing Syrian civilians has hence acted as buffer between the neighboring countries, hence ensuring peace and stability in the region, allowing smooth running of other activities such as economic and political activities.
Humanitarian Act and Care for Human Life
Welcoming the refugees in the United States is a very true show of respect for humanity, care of human life and value for all mankind. United States is the worlds superpower. Turning backs to the refugees from Syria is a clear indication that the care and humanitarian activity is no longer embraced (Elasrag, n.d.). Welcoming and caring for the refugees has led to show of the world that all human beings should be treated with compassion and love, since we are all equal. The act has also led to credibility of US government in the eyes of entire world.
Promotion of True Unit and Shunning Of Isolationism
The United States is the worlds only super-power, hence tasked with the responsibility to keep the global peace and lead by example. There is no practical way the United States can exercise the action of isolationism in the todays world. Welcoming and caring for the refugees as shown that the United States advocates for global unit and peace for humankind as well as display of the compassionate nature of the Americans (The Lancet, 2015).
Cons of Syrian Refugees in the US.
High Cost Of Living
Refugee entry in the United States has led to cost burden in the states. Since refugees are not workers or do not earn any living, a lot of money and other fund have been spend in maintaining their living in the United States. The cost for provision of basic needs such as food, shelter and other materials such medical care has been rising over the time in the refugee camps for the Syrian civilians (Powers & O'Loughlin, 2015). Lack of financial support from the federal government to the affected states has worsened the situation further, leading to draining of the available allocated funds.
Insecurity Cases
The noble act of humanitarian of welcoming the refugee in the United States has been misused. Most terrorists, posing as refugees from Syria, have been taking advantage to cross the border and sneak to the United States. Smuggling of contrabands has been witnessed as a result of refugee entry in the United States. There is a very high need of very close supervision, inspection and surveillance of all people posing as refugees to control the situation. The screening process which takes 18-24 months is equally involving and not 100 percent effective, hence terrorist taking advantage of the US compassion to execute terrorist activities. The Paris attacks led to a lot of urgency to rethink about refugees entry in United Americas soil (Powers & O'Loughlin, 2015).
