A crowd gathered in PDX on Sunday evening to welcome the first refugee family to arrive in Oregon since President Donald Trump’s executive order banning travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries. The Iraqi family of five - a couple and their three children, ages ten, five, and three - arrived at the Portland International Airport...Tonight, Catholic Charities was overjoyed to welcome our first refugee family since the Executive Order suspending refugee admissions was blocked by US Judge James Robart.

How much did “Catholic Charities” receive for each of the 5 to ‘welcome’ and how soon are they going to dump them off to SNAP, welfare, Section 8, ObamaPhones and all the other entitlements. I bet they were already processed for the entitlements the minute they landed.

This isn’t religious charity. It is a money making business that pays no taxes.

Were they muslims or Christians? I bet I can guess which.

They need to stay in Oregon and receive NO FEDERAL FUNDS.

I’m sick of liberal pukes.

These ‘religious’ charities are receiving untold millions to process and disperse these leeches all over this country.

There was another person representing another refugee program and he told Tucker Carlson they got over $2,000 for each and that included airport pick-up and rent for three months and other things getting them situated.

What neither of them mentioned was that it cost us around $60,000 a year per freeloader/ democrat illegal voter. These organization offload them to all our “safety net” programs as soon as orientation is over.

Try following the ten commandments Catholic Charities: You are stealing from the taxpayer and these foreigners are coveting their neighbor’s goods.

So, so sad. Oregonistan was such a beautiful place. The DemonRats already OWN the West coast (and East Coast), so why double down on contaminating it more?

Republicans.. WE'RE SURROUNDED BY DEMONRATS ON BOTH COASTS AND THEY HAVE THE PORTS! Not a very good war footing.

I think all 1,250 refugees from Australia should arrive at Washington as well

Charleston, Savannah, Brunswick, and Jacksonville are all good ports.

I heard the same thing. And you’re right. The $2000 is basically for the first night and processing all their welfare entitlements. The charities likely turn a nice profit on that. One big scam under the guise of religion.

PR War is a total loss on this. In this realm Trump has a LOT to learn. And don’t say it doesn’t matter because when his party is for the most part gutless cowards it does.

What's that quiet I hear?

Is that the leftists NOT hollering and protesting about Church/State collusion as they usually do?

“Catholic Charities” also failed to “keep” in touch with the mentally ill released from St. Elizabeth’s under Clinton....And it came to pass, heinous crimes were committed by some of these demented souls in towns and cities across the U.S.A. where the Charities offered refuge....and no follow up.
