For those of our readers who want to understand how we got to this place with Refugee Resettlement, and how the volags got their hands in the taxpayers’ pockets, do a little research on the Refugee Act of 1980. You gotta laugh! Look at the rogues gallery of Senate Sponsors and Co-sponsors. And, by the way, the bill was signed into law by Jimmy Carter on April Fools Day 1980. I think it’s time for a review of the law, don’t you?
Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) was the chief sponsor!
