Should the U.S. accept refugees from Syria?

Refugees should be accepted however there should be rules in place to ensure they are relocated to less populated cities such as Adelaide and Darwin. They should be used to add booms to less densly populated cities and encourage industries to create jobs in these cities.

I don't think we should target a particular nationality, determine a intake and then take most suitable applicants

only those that enter legally and have had major background checks

I don’t really care who we accept, but why does it matter what countries they come from, it should depend on on what they will become as people

Allow refugees of all countries but house them in outback/rural towns. Employ them in work and don’t give out government benefits to everyone

Yes but with terrorism checks

Yes, but they should go through a rehabilitation and integration to society program to ensure they’re adapted to western life, gain education and are provided psychological support

I fewl bad but its a really tough question as the violent and manic upbringing of these are then over here having the thought patters and lifestyle that is NOT acceptable

Yes family and if is a single person they must have family here that have not committed and serious crimes

A lot of changes need to be made to current programs before we should look at increasing the population further including housing, community development, employment opportunities, health care, mental health services.
We may be able to offer short term asylum combined with a plan using the Forign Aid budget to assist with the return to their home once crisis they are facing subsides.

Yes, but we need better plans and procedures for true assimilation into the community.

yes but a focus on women and children

Yes. With thorough screening

Prioritise non- Muslim refugees.

Yes, but only after extensive background checks and continuous monitoring to ensure they have no terrorist connections; and accept only families (no single male Muslims).

Only if you're running from war or poverty/hardship

Yes, but only those that have skills that will benefit our society

Yes, but with government help and support for cultural assimilation into Australian society. Such as a 18month cultural course with modules, check-ins and assistance.

If they truly accept Australia and it’s beliefs over their own

If they come across legally then sure they can come

Accept non Muslim refugees

Yes, but with a background check but not extensive continuous follow ups

No, not until we are in a better financial position. Take care of our own, then we can take can of others.

Yes, only immigrants who are not fanatically religious

Yes but at a consistent rate

I think we should accept families and continuously monitor them

Yes but we need to monitor it and assure out country can actually house these people before bringing them in

do background checks you can send them back to their own country but only if it is safe

I think yes we should keep them unless they are being rude towards other religions

No not while we have our own housing crisis and so much national debt

yes as long as theyre willing to work

No we need to worry about our homelessness crisis for current citizens before we add more refugees

Yes after an extensive background check, and after a bi-annual check of what the immigrant has conttributed.

We need to limit refugee intake and have better security

yes, ensuring we have the resources and funding to ensure integration into the Australian culture and way of life.

Yes, we should accept all none religious professionals and ensure thorough background checks.

Yes, but only after extensive background checks and continuous monitoring to ensure they have no terrorist connections, and that their whole aim in life is to treat other people as they would wish to be treated.

No, not while we have a housing crisis

Yes they should be welcome but maybe not while we have a housing issue already in Australia

Yes, and after the extensive background checks and monitoring, Registered Australian Families or People must contribute to housing for them (ie. take them in). They also need to contribute to the Australian Workforce (with subsidised education if required)

If the situation improved in Syria then no refugees would appear

Must fit a criteria

unless they get citizenship they can stay until it's safe unless their family has citizenship

Yes but it needs to be regulated by how much we can afford to take in and if any crimes are committed they should be deported

only if they are well educated

Yes, if they can assimilate and contribute to society positively.

I think refugees should be sent to less populated areas such as cattle stations and work for their privilege

Yes, Yes, but we should accept much more than the proposed 10,000 refugees, and if we don't - we should change the national anthem to reflect the closed country Australia really is.

Yes, but greater housing is needed.

Yes, but emphasising families and those who we can easily assimilate to our culture.

Only if we have the resources to do so without hindering citizen's abilities to obtain housing

Yes, after developing more available housing as to not create a housing crisis

We should be taking less refugees & when they come must learn English & must be monitored

Any country should accept refugees but all should be controlled such as where they’re residing, how many people they are, what jobs they’re in etc

Whatever is the current process I am happy with

Yes, but with integration support

These Nuts

Depending on space available for them yes

No special treatment for Syrians over others

yes but limited numbers, background checks and integration to aus life

Yes, but extensive and ongoing support to ensure trauma, cultural assimilation, and background checks will be important.

Again there is no such thing as a refugee as everyone lives on earth.

I don’t like the implication that Syrian refugees could be terrorists or singling out not allowing men. It also shouldn’t be just one region refugees being questioned- any true refugee should be assessed individually on their merit.

if they’re not a bad person then yes

Yes, but only after background checks and monitoring during the arrival, not afterwards.

We can help 10 people for every one person taken in here. After 3 years 67% return to their country of origin voluntarily.

We need to take care of our own homeless and housing crisis

we need to deal with our own homeless person crisis

Yes, but only accept families, professionals and skilled workers

Yes, but after extensive backrgound check's

everyone is human

Yes, but women, children, disabled persons and families should be prioritised as they are more ostracised

Yes, but only when it's confirmed their lives are truly in danger and that they aren't terrorists or criminals. Also no voting until 3rd generation.

Australia is over populated as it is! 2000 refugees max, families only, no single Muslim men. No spousal visa's allowed after arrival.

Yes, but refugees should either return to their homeland once the danger is gone, or apply for Australian citizenship

After we help Australians first

Yes, in the same way we accept refugees from anywhere

We need to be able to take care of the people already here properly.

We need to do more to support our on people first

Let them Aquire citizenship

No, not while we have a housing crisis with Australian citizens

Yes but provided they go through the correct procedures like anyone else

Yes, but only after extensive background checks, verified that their lives are in real danger and continuous monitoring to ensure they receive the support and assistance needed.

Yes, with monitoring and background checks. Don't make them feel like aliens though which is likely if they're questioned too much. Being treated poorly for seeking refuge is more likely to turn them down a dark path than the place they came from.

Yes, if they’re vaccinated against any diseases that may be in their country and make sure they won’t bring any diseases over.

Yes, we should accept all children and families!

Yes but crime background checks

Depends if they are violent or not, no if they have a criminal record.

NO refugees from ANYWHERE!!!

Yes, and aid their social integration by acknowledging possible culture shock from being introduced into a new country.
Provide housing/apartments where work is accessible. Continue wellness checks to see how they are managing until their independence is ensured and they can continue living independently.

Yes but only if they don't have a criminal record/terrorist record or are treated for foreign diseases. Also, we don't want everyone caus that could cause overpopulation

Yes, but divert them away from large cities and encourage them to live in places with small populations to encourage growth there.

I would prefer to educate myself more on this topic before answering

Yes, but they should be screened and tested to acknowledge whether they will thrive or not.

Unbelievable that refugees are coming from Syria, yet there are parts of Syria that are still safe, I have Syrian friends who still travel there to visit family. I'm confused.

Yes. Limited number, non Muslim.

Yes, a background check should be done but should not compromise the living conditions and treatment while waiting. Only an extensive check should’ve done after suspicious activity is conducted.

Yes, but check in on them every now and then to give them some freedom

We should work toward helping Syria become safe again so the people can live safely in their own home.
