             Without a cast of a doubt, there are many controversies whether all governments should use the tax for the environmental refugees or not, and it is one of the most important topic nowadays. In my opinion, every government has to allocate their budget for helping these victims of natural disasters. First and foremost, the natural disasters are not confined to particular country anymore, and the damage is increasing more and more; thus, the consequences of the natural calamities should be dealt with all over the world. According to the article “Environmental Refugees Unable to Return Home”, the author Kakissis states that “But with the prospect of worsening climate conditions over the next few decades, experts on migration ay tens of millions more people in the developing world could be on the move because of disasters.” Furthermore, Kakissis contends that “but in recent years, the moves are more likely to be permanent.” Therefore, every country has to consider environmental refugees as their problems. They should realize that their countries and their nation cannot be free from these disasters even if they are not involved it yet. The notion of helping environmental refugees should be changed. If every government starts to implement the policy for the environmental refugees, it will be the way to protect their public not just a waste. Next, the permission that these refugees stay in their countries can bring positive outcomes to their economy. The opponents who are against helping environmental refugees mainly argue that spending their tax for the foreigners is not be helpful for their countries. In the film “That Which Once Was”, the speaker contends that “Spending taxes for them; then, we can’t take care everyone.” However, helping environmental refugees with financial support makes their economy totally develop. Once governments try to support them, these victims of natural calamities can easily settle to these countries, and they can get jobs. These people will be the nation of these countries; then, it leads to increasing tax revenue and productivities. Lastly, every human being has the right to humanistic treatment including environmental refugees. As mentioned before, the amount of people who escape from their homeland for finding basic resources is rapidly increasing. In other words, many people are struggling with poverty and starving, and much more people will do that. Moreover, plenty of them is dying on the road, and much more people will do that. This is an inevitable phenomenon; therefore, every country should prepare the support for the aspect of humanism. Protecting them is everyone’s responsibilities, so every government should permit to build the facilities and give financial supports for them. To conclude, for these reasons, all over the world should strive to support them. Allotting their taxes to help the victims is being necessary not just a option, and it is unavoidable.
