We can take care of illegal immigrants, but what about Americans? What about our veterans who served? What about our enormous homeless population? What about people who have been laid off & out of work since the recession? What about student loans people can't pay back because they have been out of work for so long & can't find a decent paying job in their field?
This article represents everything that is wrong with America.
If you want to come here you better have money saved up already & not depend on OUR government to do it for you. No other country does this except the US & it really pisses me off to no end. MY tax dollars are being used to feed, house, clothe, educate, & even provide FREE medical care for these very people, many of which who despise us in their homelands.
I'm all for diversity, just don't do it on my dime.

Don't even know where to start, or really care how long this post & replies last on the board.
Have you ever bothered to learn about the refugee process? Ever volunteers for a refugee organization, or worked with one? You sound like you have no idea what you're talking about, which is pretty sad because you seem to care about the issue.
It has nothing to do with illegal immigrants. It has everything to do with religious minorities, oppressed and threatened ethnic groups, and people caught in horrible conflicts (often ones that we have a direct hand in instigating).
Take some time to educate yourself on what refugees go through just to get the chance to come to America, then look at all of the programs that do go towards veterans and homeless people, then post an intelligent and sensible message.
