refugees and wealthy countries

 Are you agree that wealthy countries should accept more refugees and provide them with basic assistance, such as food and housing?

This question was sent to me in a fundamental writing task by ieltsadvantage.com, but I found it is very useful to be discussed, because it represents a continuous issue.

First of all, I agree but with some conditions, and before explaining these conditions, it must be known that those refugees have not been left from their countries for a tourism travel, no, they left to save themselves and their families from die, such as what happen in Syria, Yemen,  Libya, and others, or to save themselves and families from poorness and hungriness, due to lack of chances of getting a job in their countries, such as in Iraq, and most of African countries. That means the refugee people can be considered as forced refugee people. Thus, if they stay at home, humanity may loss many of peoples, so this will be a great shame in its history after what happens in the first and second world wars. Or, many of young people in these countries may become a terrorists people, and many of them will be enrolled with some terrorists groups such as ISIS. Al-Qaida, Bokoharam, and others. Now, if wealthy countries accept the forced refugee people, that means they save their countries and the world, it is an ethical issue.

Here is a complex point must be discussed, that is what may happen if the wealthy countries opened all of their doors to the refugee people and provided them with basic assistance such as food and housing?. That means many of people in poor and unsafe countries will be encouraged to refugee to the wealthy countries even if there are not deeply suffering from their countries conditions, and the hosted countries will reach to a point that they cannot offer the required assistance even for their citizens. Therefore, just legal conditions must be defined by the hosted countries, so I find this essay as a chance to suggest some of these conditions as I see them very important;

1.      The refugee must have a legal approvment from the hosted country before it refugees, by apply a form on an internet website or something like this.

2.      The refugee must arrive to the legal ports of the hosted country, might airport, ship port, or  others legal ports, not upon unsafe borders

3.      The refugee must bring with it what proof its suffering in its country, and that must be classified at the hosted country as an accepted reason to refugee

4.      The refugee must be able to work in the labor market of the hosted country, to be considered as a good addition to the society, not a heavy block on them

Thus, and after what explained above, I agree with the importance of hosting the forced refugees in the wealthy countries and providing them with the basic assistance but with the above legal conditions or what another condition can be make the hosted country in the safe side and does not affect its social consortium or its economical situation.
