Refugees are not escaping anything...they’ve safely in the US...
Why are they getting welfare ???
immigrants have also left their home countries and given everything up...
PLUS if the refugees are “escaping” once they are out of their own country they are free safe etc...
why have they bypassed 1, 2 or more countries to come all the way here ???
its much more expensive to fly here than just go next door by bus or train etc...
I still ask WHY ???
just to say the refugees are “escaping” is not good enough...not a reason to give them welfare we don’t give our own American citizens...
You might want to sit down (or have a stiff drink) before reading this-————they even meet the refugees at the airport and show them the ropes.

The refugee didn’t plan to come here, hasn’t saved for it. The nonrefugee immigrant is presumed to have saved or arranged the wherewithal to make a start in the new land. Real refugees like the Vietnamese in the 80s and 90s and the Cuban argonauts have added a lot to American culture and economy (and tend to vote republican). The Christians and Yezidis from the ME tend to fit in well and some need no initial aid anyhow because the Orthodox and Catholic parishes take them in. The Jews from anywhere have been and are assets. Any more they go to Israel. They assimilate to America, work hard and do not try to recreate the old country in the new country.
