Should refugees be welcomed in Spain?

Recently, a controversial issue has appeared: the welcoming or not of the refugees from Syria to Spain. The majority seem to agree. However, there are arguments for and against letting them in.

On the one hand, the first thing that comes to our minds is empathy, we could be suffering the same situation, and we would like to be welcomed despite causing expenses to the country. It’s about humanity, we do have a heart and it’s time to show it. Otherwise, many people could die.
On the other hand, we could also think that some terrorists will take advantage of this struck of luck and try to enter Spain. Consequently, there won’t be safety for either Spain or refugees. Furthermore, hardly anybody knows that, as the HCR says, 75% of the refugees are adult men that have left their families in Syria.


In short, I think that we should welcome them but increasing our security system and control. Nevertheless, other countries need to help too in order not to increase our crisis.
