MONTEVIDEO (Reuters) - Five families of Syrian refugees granted asylum in Uruguay last year protested outside the president's offices on Monday, demanding they be allowed to leave the South American country in search of better jobs, even back in the Middle East.
Uruguay accepted the 42 Syrians fleeing civil war in October 2014, but the families said they felt the leftist government had failed to deliver on a promise of good incomes.
"I am not afraid to go back to Lebanon," said 36-year-old Aldees Maher, whose family had initially sought safety in a refugee camp across the border from Syria. "I want a place that guarantees me, my family a life."
Their protests come as Europe struggles to cope with record numbers of asylum seekers escaping conflicts in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, and illustrate the challenge host nations face integrating the often-destitute refugees.
In Uruguay, a secular country with a tiny Muslim population of about 300, the refugees receive housing, health care, education and financial support from the government. Even so, they have struggled to settle in and relations with locals have been strained.

Its not about jobs. They want in on the EU handouts.
That’s what I read. The Urugayan handouts do not look as good as the European handouts.
Either is a bad deal for Western Civilization.
The USA should say, “We’ve got so many refugees coming in from Mexico and central America that we have done our part.”
They can come back and say we need to take some muzzies. We can say we’re not going to be taking people on the basis of religion BUT WE’VE DONE OUR PART BY TAKING IN SO MANY MEXICANS, ETC.
It may be the ticket to dodge the boatloads of muzzies they’re wanting to dump on us.
What are the odds that among those 65,000 at least 65 aren’t already or won’t turn into ISIS fighters?
I look forward to hearing where all the politicians stand on this.
When will the world tire of these Muslim POS’s and just let them stay at home and CONTINUE to kill each other.

Best plan I’ve ever heard on the situation.
Bringing even ONE muzzie here is too many.
Zero.
So these discontented refugees tried to get into Turkey and they did not want them. The people who know them best did not want them. What does that say? And yet the West takes them in like imbeciles. And Obama is bringing more here, naturally. He never met an enemy of America and Christianity he did not like.
Have they talked to Jeb Bush?
Bump
What is preventing them from leaving? Is Uruguay East Germany now?
Islam is naturally paternalistic and socialist.
