USCCB

Transcript: Successes The bishops succeed by pledging to affirm the intrinsic value of human life and the dignity of every human being in a way that transforms the culture by implementing “The Life and Dignity of the Human Person” priority plan for 2010-2012. This involves three goals: 1. To act collaboratively and consistently on vital issues confronting the Church and society 2. To foster communion with the Church in other nations, within the Church universal, under the leadership of its supreme pastor, the Roman Pontiff 3. To offer appropriate assistance to each bishop in fulfilling his particular ministry in the local Church These goals are implemented throughout the world in every place they can effectively quelling economic poverty and preserving human dignity • With the establishment of the USCCB the Bishops came together to respond to social issues such as immigration, education, the economy, legislation, press and publicity, and lay organizations. •To support the ministry of Bishops through practicing the Gospel and to respond to certain social issues at the time.

About USCCB

Transcript: The JPHD stands for The Department of Justice, Peace, and Human Development. It helps carry out the mission of the Catholic Bishops. It focus on prayer and reflection. I can get involved just by going online and printing out handouts, and making more people aware of the problem at state. Global Poverty Part 2 This has really made me think about how lucky I am to have food on my table. I have learned to be more grateful and to not take the things I have for advantage. The USCCB stands for The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The program was built to help serve the church and the people in the church. I think maybe having a community group available would be good. I think the main problem is that people do not realizes how bad it is. What I learned! Getting Involved The CRS stands for The Catholic Relief Services. This program was founded in 1943 by the Catholic Bishops of the United States. They where brought together to serve World War 2 survivors in Europe. Ever since that started they have grown a lot reaching over 100 million people and serving in over 100 countries. Getting Involved I think these are great ways to get involved. The CRS The USCCB You can get involved in a lot of different ways such as donating money to the people who work over seas to serve the poorest people in the world. This has shown me how we should be really grateful for the things I have. I think learning this has really opened my mind about what I feel like when something is difficult for me. This has impacted life a lot by just knowing what other people go through and how people have it a lot worse than I do.

Refugee Presentation

Transcript: How do people apply to gain entry as refugees? Who is considered a refugee? The Moral Angle: Humanity, Dignity and Democracy The Pragmatic Angle: Global Self-Interest Carens on Mixed Migrant Flows Carens proposes two ways to solve the non-refoulment problems. Resettlement as a Strict Duty: Carens argues that resettlement should be seen as a strict duty rather than a generous gift and that states should take in refugees based on their immigration history, capacity, population density and economic level. Carens argues the biggest barrier to such a system is not our disagreements over what is fair, but our reluctance to do what is morally required of us. Breaking the Link Between Claim and Place: Carens argues that separating where a refugee finds initial asylum and where they ultimately find a permanent home would mitigate targeted asylum claims. Carens also argues that, while appealing, such a system has the flaw of making it difficult to ensure the rights of those sent to other states and would be politically unpopular due to the requirement for democratic states to pay for these programs. Failing States & the State System: States have a vested interest in maintaining the state system. Failing or unstable states proliferate and threaten the state system. The refugee crisis currently threatens the stability of Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Greece, Italy and Bulgaria and also exacerbates problems present in Iraq, Libya and elsewhere. Instability in the region will not resolve itself and due to the volatile political climate, both great power and regional, in the Middle East there is much risk in allowing the situation to deteriorate further. Unmixed Migration: Instituting such a framework successfully would eliminate refugees from the mixed migration flows and help draw a clearer distinction between refugees and economic migrants; legitimizing efforts to keep migrants out. As such it is in the interest of states with an interest in the EU's stability to enact such a system. Direct Impact: Such a system could be enacted to direct effect, housing well funded refugee centers in Turkey for legitimate, guaranteed refugee processing would draw refugees away from the EU and help differentiate between migrants and refugees in the short term. Due to the scale of the conflict and the actors involved; there is no end in sight. Heavy damage to thousands of structures; including hospitals, schools and workplaces. Syria is now a dangerous, inhospitable environment for Syrian civilians. 250,000 - 400,000 Syrians are killed. 1.5 million Syrians wounded. 13.5 million Syrians in need of aid. 7.6 million Syrians internally displaced. 6 million Syrians made refugees. Why Should Democratic states take in Refugees? Time for a Better System? To claim that EU states do not have legitimate security concerns from incoming migration is deeply flawed; as the severe impact migration has had on Italy, Greece and Bulgaria shows. While in general terrorist threats tend to emanate from within states, there have been multiple reports of foiled attempts of attacks within Germany and an inability to screen migrants properly due to volume is a serious concern. Long term security concerns, such as those posed by second generation muslims, could be considered significant as well and are not considered. Migration inspired populism could also be considered a drastic threat to the region; with semi fascist groups having a resurgence in the wake of fear over migration. The Result: Humanitarian Crisis Neighboring States: Turkey, Lebanon & Jordan A policy of exclusion in favor of domestic stability. Orban seeks to increase border controls, combat trafficking and smuggling operations and accept normal immigration flows. He seeks to stem the tide of migration through the creation of tougher border controls within Europe; much like those seen in Greece and Italy. These controls should in theory deter migration, slow down the flow of migrants into the EU. and allow the EU to properly protect itself against foreign fighters and potential terrorists. This take is against the grain among EU states, but is supported by many eastern EU states. Orban's policy is representative of a strong vein of anti-immigration sentiment present and growing amongst almost all EU states; making the maintenance of ambitious humanitarian policies politically difficult. Systems of Admission Open Borders: Merkel & Germany The Current Response: "Fortress Europe" Hundreds of millions of euros sent in aid to Greece, Spain and Bulgaria. Hundreds of miles of razor wire fences are built to deter and control migrants. Large camps are set up (especially in Bulgaria) to house and process refugees. Due to the Dublin Law, processed refugees often cannot move further into Europe. The net effect is Bulgaria, Greece, Italy and Spain act as barriers to central Europe; creating a "fortress" to stem the flow of refugees and migrants. Mistreatment of migrants: Removing the flow of refugees from mix

Transcript: When do refugees in Iran have the opportunity to resettle? Why do refugees still struggle even when resettled? Recieve assistance for 90 days to do with food shelter and emplyment, but afterwards are expected to be economically self- sufficient. Many do not know the language of the country, as well as the culture and customs, making it difficult to integrate smoothly. How is one be deemed a legitimate refugee? They must fit the definition of a refugee, meaning they must be in grave danger and fearing for their lives. (pass an interview) Must pass security and medical screening in order to be considered for resettlement. Extremists- Refugees are often threatened for certain religious or ethnic views, as if their views do not correspond with the one of the majority, it can cause danger for the individual. Some can return to their home country when peace and stability is restored once again and it is no longer a dangerous environment. When the host country (the first one the refugee came to) agrees to allow them to integrate and settle in the community. Iran is surrounded by other dangerous areas, leading not much possibility for help as the country itself is not stable. When a situation is so dangerous protection is the first prority and refugees are moved to whatever country is able to take them in. Permanent resettlement in another country is the last option, but is often difficult to obtain due to large numbers of refugees. Military- if there is a war going on in an individuals home country it is often a great cause of fear as the cuntry is torn apart. And one more thing... The Government- The government of their home country is unable to help those who seek safety due to legal bonds, bribery and fear themselves. Who is most feared by a refugee? They cannot be firmly resettled in any other country. Large cities are often are able to house more refugees and provide them with necessary shelter. Iran over the years has taken in over a million refugees fleeing from Iraq. Where in Iran is help being provided? They are not able to take any personal belongings with them when they flee, meaning they have to start all over. Refugees in Iran What are the options refugees have for resettlement When their home country is deemed acceptable to take the refugee back and no further risks would be encountered. is here If the conditions continue to be dangerous a refugee can chose to stay at a refugee settlement in a foreign country. this however is not a permanent solution as many country do not accept a lot of permanent refugees.
