Should goverments help refugees?

            Rich governments should not support environmental refugees without people’s authorization because of all the money from people. The governments have the right to organize donation activity, but the decision should on their own people. The destruction of the environment will lead to refugees, it is a problem all over the world, their numbers are too large, and they will continue to increase. Kakissis(2010) explains, “At least 12 million people live in Dhaka, and there are more than 400,000 newcomers each year” (para.8). This is shows there are more refugees, and the government of the world cannot help all refugees. People should decide whether to help the refugees, not governments because it is no end to this kind of help, and use the people’s money. Moreover, governments and people should recognize the source of the problem. Money is limited, and fixing the environment can solve a lot of problems. however, people need to decide to give limited money to refugees or to restore the environment. For example, “Since 1987, Arctic sea ice area has shrunk by some 9 percent per decade and has thinned as well” (Handwerk,2004, para.5). Environmental problems are the problems of the world, and It affects more than one country. People should decide that which one is the most important that fixing the environment or saving the refugees, I believe that Democracy is a good way. In addition, people can set up the voluntary organization to help refugees, government and school can also promote such the activities. For instance, in my country China, every school has donated activities in every year, and it is people volunteered, not enforced because some families are poor. In conclusion, people have right to decide to help refugees or not because the money of government comes from the people. It is the responsibility of government to build the country and safeguard it, if it is the donation, the people have right to vote.
