Why are we turning away teens and kids who only dream of living in a free world?
In response to the attacks in Paris, world leaders are taking another look at their refugee and immigration policies for those hailing from conflicted regions, like Syria. French president François Hollande has declared the country under a state of emergency after the attacks on his capital left 129 people dead. This means that he has put in place curfews, launched countless raids violating the civil liberties of Parisians, and closed all of their borders.
The emergency measures — which have historically been used to oppress the Muslim community — are a recipe for disaster. For instance, closing France’s borders does more to harm the national security of the country than protect it. It also increases the risks of human trafficking, and leaves France with absolutely no records of individuals entering the country. Official refugees on the other hand, go under a very extensive vetting process and leave a very long and official paper trail. But more importantly, as many pundits have pointed out, the Paris attacks should make the Western world more understanding and accepting of Syrian refugees, not more afraid. Most of them are escaping the precise horror that Paris felt on Friday; except for them, mass shootings and suicide bombers are a regular thing....

What race are Syrians?
Too bad. Stop this from happening!! DEFUND THE GOVERNMENT!! SAVE OUR CHILDREN!!
This country is full of morons.
Teen Vogue??? Some magazine aimed at teenage girls is supposed to be some faunt of wisdom on these issues???
“The Hatred Toward the Syrian Refugees Is Racist”
Pity. Now what’s on TV?
This mind full of mush should wake up and realize that Barack Obama has opposed refugee status for persecuted Christians who’ve already arrived here from Syria because the persecution they face is RELIGIOUS and not ‘POLITICAL’.
Islam is an all encompassing political system, not a religion.
If teenage girls were smart, teenage boys would never get laid.
What race are Muslims? and wtf if this teen writer taking about, they really need to get the head out of their ass.
So, banning whites from a middle eastern country is racist?
Oh, well, nothing else in the article made any sense either.
Caucasian.
The stupid, it burns.
Dear Ms. Harvard. Kindly bone up on current events before taking to the keyboard with liberal prattle.
Notice the difference between the Yazidi refugees and the ones that you are seeing right now. The Yazidi’s are elderly women and young children, the Syrian ones are majority MEN, young MEN..and if these people who are crying and b*tching about wanting these refugees here so badly, let’s see them post their home addresses so these refugees can go live with them
Why does the religion of peace kill so many people? Why do so many Muslims flee Muslim countries? Why does Islam hate infidels? Why does Islam rape and murder so many people? Why do Muslims live in fear of their leaders? Why does your bellybutton gather lint?
Short answer: Because we can.
Longer answer: Because we don't trust them and we shouldn't, especially after what happened in Paris.
Remember: The Boston Marathon bombers were "refugees" too.
Don’t hate them and don’t have to bring them to the United States.
This is all politics by Obama. Building a Muslim voting block in America.
In many of these countries, the youth are considered adults, not children.
