A clear look into what it takes to be considered a refugee, and educating on what it takes to apply for refugee status. Opens a platform of discussion into refugee reform.

I know we should be helping each other out but accepting a lot of refugees all at a time will cause a lot of potential problems. Not that I do not think humanity plays a big role in this but social and educational issues are what we should be also considering. Can we promise to afford them their living standard? Can we provide each of them with a decent job while the people in the country itself are still unemployed?

I think that is a great question. Studies show that children or youth refugees are woefully unsuccessful unless their parents are gainfully employed, educated, and many other incredulous factors. Allowing refugees into the country is a completely separate topic than building an entire social infrastructure funded by American taxpayer funds. In order for these refugees to be successful the government is spending millions of dollars per family, and tens of millions per family unit after five years of residence. I am of the opinion we need a complete overhaul of the existing system. I can simply not encourage immigrants to come to my homeland when my kinsmen are dying at astonishing rates at the hands of mental disorders, suicide, poverty, and a host of other contributors. We could be investing those funds into saving Americans, not providing for foreigners.

Trump has proposed a policy to stop refugees coming into the country. That has horrible consequences. It says to the world that the US will not help offer help in times of need.

Thank you for sharing this article, I personally and politically believe in helping refugees. One of the great things I have loved about America is how helpful and open the US has previously been in accepting refugees. I'm saddened that this may no longer be the case with the Trump Administrative.
