Statement: Should all refugees, who make unauthorized entry into a country, be forced to go back to their homeland? Arguments: Yes. They make their colonies and occupy a lot of land. 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

Correct Answer: Only argument II is strong

Explanation:

Clearly, refugees are people forced out of their homeland by some misery and need shelter desperately. So, argument II holds. Argument I against the statement is vague.
