Wealthy countries should accept more refugees and provide them with basic assistance such as food and housing. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#countries #refugees #assistance #food
It is commonly said that rich nations should welcome more stateless
people
 and donate their food and shelter. From my point of view, I completely disagree with the statement above because accepting a large number of
refugees
 makes the
country’s
economy
 decrease
such
 as the dramatic increase in the
unemployment
rate
.
Instead
, the government must provide their residents with a better life and work. First of all, the additional
refugees
 will put hard pressure on the nation’s
economy
 because of the
unemployment
rate
. The number of
people
 who need suitable work increases sharply
whereas
 the number of jobs decreases.
This
 fact leads governments to subsidize the unemployed
people
 and their
economy
 will be pulled down. To illustrate that, in 2018 the United States of America stopped the
refugees
 from Mexico with the hope to protect the
country’s
 budget. So,
it is clear that
 providing the
refugees
 with some basic assistance is not the long-term solution for any nation.
Besides
 the
unemployment
rate
 which
refugees
 bring back, there is a potential risk coming from
this
 group of
people
. To be more specific,
refugees
 have been drawing attention from the government because the government has to make fund-raising to feed them. To give stateless
people
 some basic assistance, they will have to charge more taxes in different ways.
This
 budget ought to be used for disasters, financial matters now turns into a charity fund.
This
 fact means that the country will not be able to continue developing.
Also
,
this
 country will slowly become a backward nation. So, additional stateless
people
 will
also
 put pressure on taxes and make the
country’s
economy
 slower. In conclusion, I strongly disagree that wealthy countries should not provide
refugees
 with any basic assistance because of the risk of the
unemployment
rate
 and tax increase which affect the
country’s
economy
 dramatically.
