Thank you for this data. What exactly happens to these people? Who determines where they go? |
? |
You are welcome and I miswrote - it came from Department of Homeland Security website. |
The PP you seem hell bent on correcting (incorrectly) claimed that only about 200 SYRIAN refugees had been admitted since 2012 (not refugees total). In '2013 alone' we admitted 36 Syrian refugees. |
Because their facts are completely incorrect. The US has admitted 1800 Syrian refugees since 2012. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/10/21/us/where-syrian-refugees-are-in-the-united-states.html?_r=0 |
I was responding to the person who cited the 60k refugees. Sorry. The NY times is also wrong. We have admitted 2,527 Syrian refugees since 2012 (if you include 2012) http://www.wrapsnet.org/Reports/InteractiveReporting/tabid/393/EnumType/Report/Default.aspx?ItemPath=/rpt_WebArrivalsReports/MX - Arrivals by Nationality and Religion |

Whether it's 2,000 or 200, that's a tiny number of people over the span of many years.
Why do I care? I don't care. |
As long as none of them come to your neighborhood, huh? |
NP. I would welcome them to my neighborhood. |
| I would rather the money go to native born Americans. We have so many homeless people here and many are AA. The US will help anyone but AA folks it seems. |
Exactly how would you help them? How much max $$$ per person? |
In what areas would you help them? Does each state get an equal amount of dollars to help their impoverished? What about addicts? What kind of people would you help? |
...I'd like to help our own first well, but how? What to do with refugee applicants who don't want to assimilate into American culture, is my main concern here. |
Which neighborhood? Are your neighbors on board? |
Let's start with investing $64,000 in them and see where that gets us. I bet if we put all of the resources we are putting into refugees into AA and other American poor, we would see a world of difference. |
