My point all along has been that we have to look at our legal immigration as well as illegal immigration. These people are brought here by the US State Department and installed as legal immigrants. They receive some money from various NGOs, but also qualify for various welfare benefits; also, they can later bring their family members here, legally, for “family reunification.” I lived one place where I read that they would bring in elderly or handicapped relatives and put them directly on SSI.
And this is all because of a social engineering project of the US State Department to give us more “diversity,” which means that the lucky immigrants in question are generally impoverished, uneducated, share none of our culture or cultural values, and in fact usually come from countries and societies that hate us (many of them are from Muslim countries). GWB proposed that Christians fleeing Islamic ethnic cleansing qualify as refugees, and the Dems turned it down, so we don’t even have the hope that some of them might have something in common with us.
The entire system needs a redo.
I thought this was about refugees from Massachusetts but then I read they want to work for a living..
Why would someone from another country want to live in NH anyway, the weather stinks and the people are surly.
