It doesn't have to apply to refugees totally if we learn to distinguish between real refugees i.e. Yezidis and Assyrians and Chaldeans and invaders and gimmes. The Real Refugees almost by definition have to have some assist when they first arrive but it should be direct subsidy rather than the citizen welfare processes and should be of specifically limited duration. Once the first of a bunch of refugees from a particular origin are settled and functioning in the society later ones will be absorbed into that community and no welfare will be needed beyond the first couple of months of support.

Those groups I referenced, in the extremely limited numbers that have been permitted, have become Citizens in the assimilation and productive sense quickly. The various Orthodox and Byzantine rite organizations and families have stepped up to help them adjust, even the Yezidis.

90%+ of middle eastern refugees are still on some form of government assistance after many years. That’s what I want to see ended.
