  2. i think the U.S should increase airstrikes (bombing Missions) against isis and other islamist-terrorists targets in iraq,syria and afghanistan. i also think we should take in refugees and give them provided aid in medicine water and food and supplies needed to survive. the provided area i think shoud be only for refugees only. and far from american civilization, for our safety as well until the war and terrorism is over. they should be well protected as well by military.

  3. This is Destiny Layton commenting...I agrre with president Obama's approach on letting Syrian refugees into the United States only if they have been reviewed and approved by the federal government but I do not agree with letting 10,000 in a year. That most definitely will bring terrorism into the counrty.

  6. This is Gabe T. commenting (Ms. Bluff's student.) I agree with sending aid to areas that need it and providing asylum for those who have been thoroughly vetted. I feel that we should send supplies to refugee camps because we cannot provide asylum for everyone, but we can help more of them by supplying food, water, and clothes. I don't agree with considering religion in the background check of refugees because American is a land founded on religious freedom. I am concerned about the threat that Bashar Al-Assad's government poses. That is the biggest threat because they use chemical weapons and "barrel bombs".
