The Office of Refugee Resettlement is years behind in producing its legally required Annual Report to Congress. This document, among other things, will reveal what the refugee resettlement program is costing us. It will include statistics on welfare use by refugees and whether they are finding employment.
I urge readers to have a look at some of the annual reports here.
The most recent report to Congress is for 2007!!! Just imagine we are in FY2010, deep into a recession, and they haven’t even gotten out 2008!
Meanwhile the ORR is getting ready for its big shindig in Washington, DC next week at which they will celebrate 30 years of this program with a select group of friends.
