I want you to leave with a different outlook on the topic of immigration and refugees. Everyone will have a different opinion, and that is completely acceptable, but just know that there are still pros and cons to both sides! The critical questions below will stimulate discussion, allow you to see things from a perspective that you may not have thought of before, and challenge you to think about current and future impacts.
1. How can countries justify continuing to take in thousands of immigrants and refugees when there are already people unemployed and unable to find work?
2. Each country needs to provide support to ensure the welfare of all its citizens, and this is becoming more challenging as a country's population is bound to increase naturally and will increase dramatically with the influx of foreigners as well. Given this, should the immigrants and refugees receive the same benefits and care as everyone else?
3. What economical consequences are there for new immigrants, refugees, and the people within the community that they are settling in?
4. When large numbers of immigrants and refugees continue to migrate to a specific country, such as Canada, what will eventually become of this country and the source countries (think about the resources available)?
5. It is important to help others when possible because we all live on the same planet and are interconnected; this is the moral thing to do, but should a country focus more on its own people first before prioritizing others?
