Will US Be Safer Without Refugees?

President Donald Trump says his halt to immigration from seven Muslim-majority nations and ban on refugees is being done in the name of national security. Do you think this action will reap the 'said benefits', or will it propel extremism on American soil? 

Understanding the ban
The executive order suspends refugee admissions for 120 days and bars all immigration for 90 days from Muslim-majority countries with terrorism concerns: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. It indefinitely bars the processing of refugees from Syria, a country that's been of particular country to the FBI even though the number of Americans who have looked to travel there to fight with the Islamic State has been dwindling. But the culprits of recent deadly terror attacks aren't linked to the countries singled out by Trump's order.

 

 "We're going to have a very, very strict ban and we're going to have extreme vetting, which we should have had in this country for many years.'' 
Donald Trump speaking on the ban 

Why the ban might not work? 
Recent acts of deadly extremist violence have been carried out either by U.S. citizens or by individuals whose families weren't from the nations singled out. And the list of countries in Trump's order doesn't include Saudi Arabia, where most of the Sept. 11 hijackers were  from, or other places with a more direct link to terrorism in America. The admissions ban announced on Friday also does not directly address a more urgent law enforcement concern: homegrown violent extremists already in the United States who plot their attacks without any overseas connections or contacts.

"The primary terrorism-related threat facing the US today comes from individuals living here who become inspired by what they see on the internet, who carry out attacks independent of any terrorist organization,' 
John Cohen, a former Department of  Homeland Security counterterrorism official

Consider these
  • Omar Mateen, the man responsible for the Orlando nightclub shooting, the deadliest terror attack in the U.S. since the Sept. 11 attacks, was born in New York to Afghan parents.
  • Syed Rizwan Farook, who took part in the December 2015 San Bernardino attack, was born in Chicago. His wife, Tashfeen Malik, had been living in Pakistan and visiting family in Saudi Arabia before she passed the background check and entered the U.S.
  • The brothers who bombed the Boston Marathon were ethnic Chechens who had been living in the U.S. 
Take note of this research 
A research by Charles Kurzman, a sociology professor at the University of North Carolina, reports that Islamic extremists have accounted for a minuscule amount of the roughly 240,000 murders since Sept. 11, 2001. Kurzman said his research identified zero fatalities  since Sept. 11 caused by extremists from the seven nations in Trump's order. He said people with ancestry from those countries have accounted for only a small fraction of extremist-related arrests and disrupted plots during the same time period. 
 
"I can only conclude that this is whipping up fear and hostility toward Americans who have family background from these countries,' 
Charles Kurzman, a sociology professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 
 

Can banning refugees from a country curb terrorism? Or, will this ban fuel radical mentality among the refugees who are already living in the US? Should the president of a country not be free to choose what best suits the needs of the country he is heading? Register to post your comments

Banning refugees to curb terrorism is a mistaken idea. Of course it will Strike the refugees which are already in the country to rebel. Frankly speaking, why does anyone think that people will leave their homes to destroy someone else''s. isn''t it understood that refugees are trying to take shelter from terrorism themselves.

Ofcourse it will strike

Banning refuges to curb terrorism is mistaken idea .America is a country where everyone is welcomed.I think it is mistaken idea of American President Donald Trump.

P S Geethanjali Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan S.V Vidyalaya

This ban is useless if taken in order to curb terrorism.If a person plans to attack they can even attack through People who are already living in the US.The ban extremely is a bane for refugees who are awaiting with hopes to enter US.A president should always keep his hands open for everyone.A president should choose what best suits the needs of the country but after hearing the thoughts of people who are loyal to the country.

Banning of refugees to curb terriosm is not a good idea because if refugees are banned no one can be welcomed in america . In my view its really a mistaken idea.

Safina Khatri Canossa High School, Mahim

Banning refugees will not help in curbing terrorism in any way. Refugees themselves seek asylum just because of terrorism or wars. Terrorists can also carry out terrorism activities through the means of the people who are already living in America. I personally feel that this move by Donald Trump is senseless and it will not help in eradicating terrorism from America. People exiled from a country should be allowed to shelter themselves in some other country.

Banning refugees from a country will not curb terrorism. The refugees of course do not leave their home to destroy others'' home.

I feel his decision to be a rectitude of judgement. How can we forget that Syrians and other refugees are acting detrimental to USA. They enter States from Syria and other countries and are indirectly striving hard to exploit the resources available in States. So, I think imposing a temporary ban on refugees from Syria and other countries and suspending their visas is a good move as the current situation of States is considered so far.

SHLOK DWIVEDI DELHI PUBLIC SCHOOL GURGAON SEC45 D

well america will be safer by banning refugees as some of them will be terrorist but some refugees which come from places like pakistan, iran do need help so banning refugees is like no profit no loss decision but time will tell us was this a good idea

Kamaldeep Singh SAUPINS SCHOOL SECTOR-70, MOHALI

according to me this is not a good step ,it will not help to curb terrorism instead this ban will fuel radical mentality among the refugees who are already living in the US..!!!!!
