Recently we reported that the US State Department was trying to halt resettlement of refugees in Michigan whose unemployment rate is near, or at the top, of the list of States that have no jobs to offer. I guess Catholic Charities* didn’t get the message because here is a puff piece article in the Lansing State Journal about 65-70 refugees being resettled there recently. Once again this reminds me why we need to reform the Refugee Resettlement Program and take it out of the hands of non-profits which use taxpayer funding and then do what they want to do.
A commenter (Zolton) to the article is repeating a common (soon to be an even more common) refrain:
Until our current economic crisis is solved, we should stop the flow of refugees coming into this country. It’s time to put America, and Americans first.
We provide food a housing for these refugee’s and at the same time we let American’s get thrown out onto the streets.
These refugees’s do not come here with the intention of picking fruits and vegetables. They come here expecting to get skilled training and an education. Eventually to displace a hard working American, for a much smaller wage…
The last line in the article say’s it all: “If my life is good here, I will stay.”
In other word’s… If this guy doesn’t like the winter here, he will leave – after Americans have spent thousands of dollars on him… Money that could of been better spent helping an American.
It sounds like all were spending our money on, is giving Nandal Dangal an all expenses paid vacation in the US….
AMERICA FIRST…!
