Migration has been a hot topic for the last couple of years. \u00a0Recently Syrian migration has gained a lot of attention. \u00a0The war in Syria has caused turmoil and chaos which has forced people to flee or be uprooted from their homes. \u00a0Recently in Aleppo, Syria the few remaining citizens have been posting “farewell” videos online to say goodbye to the world, and show how bad the living conditions currently are. \u00a0The refugees that were fortunate enough to flee are living in campsites across Europe that hold thousands of people. \u00a0The Syrian refugee crisis has gotten out of hand, and people and countries aren’t helping enough. \u00a0Refugees are dying trying to cross\u00a0oceans on inflatable boats to flee the war and ISIS’ wrath. \u00a0The migrants that have successfully made it to safety are trying to piece back together their lives and start new ones. \u00a0These people have lost their homes, their families, and their jobs. \u00a0Because these people are labeled as “refugees” they are treated like second class citizens by counties and people. \u00a0Countries won’t take them in because they fear that among the refugees are hidden terrorists. \u00a0Countries also won’t taken in masses because of the effect it will have on the economy. \u00a0The assimilation process is going to be long and hard seeing as how people treat Syrian refugees. \u00a0The key to assimilating well is to blend into the country you’re in by learning their culture and their ways. \u00a0After leaving their lives behind in Syria the refugees will have to lose their ethnic identities as well if they want to fit in.<\/p>\n
