With all the unrest caused by the Paris terror attacks, and Islamic State of Iraq and Levant, the borders of immigration have been blurred.

The world is in a state of panic.

A person can’t turn on any news station and not hear about the terror attacks.

In Europe, countries have been freely accepting Syrian refugees at their borders without thorough security screening.

Unfortunately, this has come at some cost.

There are reports of refugees verbally and physically assaulting those who they have deemed a disgrace, according to their religious views.

The most costly event was the coordinated attacks on four landmarks in Paris, France.

The death toll came in at 130 with injuries at approximately 368.

This horrific event has prompted the U.S. Congress to pass a bill to make it more difficult for Syrian refugees to enter the country.

There is also talks among the state governors to ban refugees from entering their states all together.

30 state governors, including Republican Presidential candidate, Governor Chris Christie, have publicly announced that they will not be accepting refugees.

Is this justifiable?

There is a set process for someone to enter the U.S. and be granted political asylum.

This is called the U.S. Resettlement Program.

This process takes approximately 18 months where a refugee goes through a thorough background check and screening before being granted asylum.

We have a system that has been working for years now.

Why change it?

More specifically, why change it so it is directed only toward one race or religion?

America is a country of immigrants.

Some of the first settlers came over on the Mayflower so that they themselves can escape religious persecution.

Anybody who immigrates to the United States is usually in search of a better life.

They are leaving something behind out of fear, disgust or for the pure need of providing a better life for themselves and their family.

So is it right for us to bar a specific race, or religious group, of people from obtaining the life they have only dreamed of?

Yes, there is always two sides to every story.

The entire world is scared.

We no longer know who is who or what is what.

Can we trust every refugee that comes into this country?

The harsh answer to that question is no.

That goes the same for anybody just walking down the street.

Should we kick them out of the country too?

Maybe it is a good idea to make the process of entering this country more strict.

To do so, however, should be for all who enter not just those of Syrian descendant or Islamic faith.

But to bar them from entering completely, is wrong.

The truth is most of those who enter this country are scared themselves.

Scared of what they are leaving behind.

This is a nation that is of the people, by the people and for the people.

To strip the others of the opportunity to work for a better life goes against everything that this nation was once built upon.

No system is perfect.

Yes, it is possible that there will be those that enter the country who won’t assimilate to our culture, who feel entitled and don’t want to work for what they want.

They want it handed to them.

We can’t help those people.

But to deny many just to keep out a few doesn’t make sense.

We may save a number of lives from barring refugees to enter the country.

But think how many can we save if we let them in?
