Notice the last line about that $2 million - it only will “help” 400 students!
From Refugee Resettlement blog:
Think about Utica, NY before you jump on the welcoming refugees bandwagon
Two years before I started writing RRW, Utica, NY was dubbed the town that loves refugees by the United Nations. They even had some propaganda show they took on the road to embarrass other cities into welcoming refugees just as Utica had!
Now (11 years later) Utica has all sorts of problems.
Here in January 2015 we reported on the school system there suing the state of New York for more money. Why? Refugee overload!
The school system cant handle the numbers of refugees who speak over 40 languages in their schools.
From the Wall Street Journal:
Utica officials are grappling with high poverty rates, rising enrollment and big deficits.
Now, just a week or so ago, the school system lost a lawsuit filed by six refugee teenagers who claim they werent permitted to attend high school there.

From Syracuse.com:
Utica will receive almost $2 million to help 400 students in the citys refugee population receive summer work experience and part-time jobs the rest of the year, White House officials said.
