For the thousands of Syrian refugees expected to arrive in the U.S. in coming months, the first order of business will be securing the basics — health care, jobs, education and a safe home.

But what organizations helping resettle them might not be prepared for, and what refugees themselves might be in denial about, is the need to treat the mental scars of war, experts said.

These people will never find jobs. They will claim their disabilities and go on SSI for the rest of their lives. Should make them go to the local VA for their medical care.

This is another reason why the so-called refugees need to be denied access to this country. And it explains why Donald Trump resonates so strongly across the political spectrum. People know a mortal threat when they see one.

They do have a high need for mental health treatment. But, as with homosexuals, no one will correctly diagnose the actual problem so they will never receive treatment to cure the brainwashing done by their death cult. The insanity will be encouraged.

All those “Refugees” apparently need “comfort women” you know since some of them haven’t had sex for months and some may even need “comfort boys” too... You know for their “mental well-being”...

These people will never find jobs

Germany also discovered this after the deluge of "refugees" (or "invaders", as my preferred descriptor) hit their shores. They were asking German businesses to help out in finding jobs for these people; and, one businessman apparently told them that the "migrants" were unemployable. These people are going to flood the West and live off government welfare for the rest of their lives.
