This year brought a completely new sentiment to the Syrian refugees. The interest in this global issue has died down a faster than expected, with the end of the president campaigning. However, this issue is still important and continues to affect millions of people’s lives daily. As you can see in the picture below a group of Syrian boy hold up two fingers in a peace formation and show the world that even though they are refugees escaping war and that’s all they know. They can still have fun and see the hope in the future that is yet to come. It’s shocking to think that people across this nation are fed up with illegal immigrants and the introduction of diversity into our society, but yet you have children from Syria that only know war and are looking for safety in  another country.

I find the ignorance on this subject to be irritating and heartless because the people in the United States that are for closing borders and the returning of illegal immigrants can’t wrap their minds around the Syrian Refugee Crisis. This Crisis needs to be dealt with, immediately. However, the people who are in charge of making such decisions about this topic can’t fathom the idea that it could have easily happen to them. The compassion for human life isn’t found in our political system anymore. We overlook and neglect the problems we are faced with when we don’t understand their content. When the rubber hits the road, when it comes to these ideas that are looked over, we as a Nation are in a long ride to nowhere. I can’t reiterate this enough, issues along the lines of the Syrian Refugee crisis need to be handled with a strong grasp on the overall idea. It is unfair for the refugees that are looking for a new home in this world, and can’t find one because of our own stubbornness and ignorance.
