Statement: Should all refugees, who make unauthorized entry into a country, be forced to go back to their homeland?

Arguments:

  1. Yes. They make their colonies and occupy a lot of land.
  2. No. They leave their homes because of hunger or some terror and on human grounds, should not be forced to go back.
Only argument I is strong
Only argument II is strong
Either I or II is strong
Neither I nor II is strong
Both I and II are strong

In my opinion, both options are strong. Refuges might leave their hometown on human grounds, but its also true that they occupy a lot of land.

It is said unauthorized entry because the government thinks that they aren't eligible for refuge, so it must not be allowed.

But in some cases, people who come will be from manhunt groups which cause the lack of security then what happens? I think option C is correct.
Yash said:   8 years ago
Not all should be allowed so both arguments are weak.

Exactly @Swapnagandha.

Such hospitality shown to refugees will harm the nation in the long run. Hence both the arguments hold true.
Swapnagandha said:   10 years ago
It is true that refugees leave their homeland because of their misery or terror but we also have to think of the other side. Such refugees may create nuisance in our country they even might try to disturb our peace. So allowing unauthorized refugees is not completely correct.
