A new study conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform shows that U.S. taxpayers are shelling out almost $870 million each year in welfare payments to “refugees.”
In total, American pay about $1.8 billion each year for the full cost of the resettlements.
Do the math and it’s easy to see: By the time five years rolls around, we’re talking substantial money out of the hands of taxpayers and into the hands of those who haven’t even received full citizenship.

This is not economically sustainable — yet it’s been an outpouring of money that’s gone on for some time, and seems to be burdening other countries as well. Note the comment: “Because in Germany you get 350 euros.”

Breitbart has more of the FAIR report:
Every year, American taxpayers pay nearly $870 million on welfare for foreign refugees who are resettled across the United States by the State Department.
A new study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) reveals that annually, foreign refugees are being given about $867 million in welfare benefits that U.S. taxpayers pay for. Every year, taxpayers are billed about $1.8 billion for the full cost of resettling foreign refugees, and after five years, American taxpayers will have spent about $8.8 billion on resettling foreign refugees.
The study reveals:
In 2016, former President Obama’s last year in office, the U.S. admitted more Muslim refugees to the country than ever before in history. That year, nearly 40,000 Muslim refugees were placed in the U.S., as noted by the Pew Research Center.
Since 1980, the U.S. has admitted more than 3.5 million foreign refugees, with nearly 100,000 refugees arriving in 2016 under former President Obama.
President Trump, a critic of mass resettling foreign refugees throughout the U.S., lowered the number of refugees admitted to the country, reducing the annual flow of refugees by 70 percent in his first year in office, as Breitbart News reported.
In his first 11 months, Trump admitted 28,875 foreign refugees to the U.S., a vast difference from the whopping 93,668 foreign refugees admitted in the same time period under Obama. Likewise, for Fiscal Year 2018, Trump has lowered the number of refugees who can enter the U.S. to 45,000, the lowest refugee cap since 1980.

And…..the Catholic Church gets millions and millions from us because they operate 90% of the “resettlement” programs in America…..they receive them and place them in nice little American towns….often in the dead of night…..Jonesboro, Arkansas for one…..they woke up one morning and they had 2,000 new strangers (Muslims) roaming around their town…..the people were pizzzzzed off….and calling the governor….of course….it did them no good.

And we STILL, have many muslim training camps, here in America, that a tv news channel already reported on, years ago. I have one in my state.
And their teaching our young children across the country, everything they need to know about Islam, in many schools! It’s sickening….where is Trump? Oh, he’s sending more of our men over to Afghanistan to fight them, over THERE! When we have millions of them, over HERE!

It is sad how some Catholics sympathize with Muslims more than Christians.

Refugees who do not assimilate, learning english, finding and holding jobs and staying out of trouble both socially and legally, should be deported after one year.

Thirty days to set themselves up, find their own housing (non government provided), employment and prove the ability to sustain themselves … OR … time to go back from whence they came.

I want to know what happened to President Trump’s idea during the campaign of creating a safe place in the Middle East and return all of them to their own environment?
I just wrote the White House and asked them why aren’t we hearing more about that?
They cannot assimilate here as we’ve seen time and time again on Geller’s site. Why should we suffer for them….and because of them?
America is not the “nanny” to the world….and I am sick and tired of paying for invaders.

Very true, and the more “refugees” the West takes in and coddles, the less likely their home countries will ever be repaired.

Alternatively it’s complete corruption of our federal and state governments by muslum countries and/or muslum run NGO’s like the UN.

It’s a good thing that Adolph Hitler didn’t figure out how easy it can be to get countries to pay the costs of eagerly admitting and housing an invading army.

Notice that ALL of the phony “refugees” in the photo are young men. They sure look pretty damn well clothed for “poor refugees just begging for a better life and fleeing persecution”, not to mention the man in the center of the frame flicking ashes from his $10/pack cigarette. Oh, the poor bastards…NOT!

It’s part of their religion…..it is very honorable and desirable to fool infidels and take anything they have…..especially by force.
I can’t forget that poor woman in Oklahoma who went to work one day and a Muslim who worked there (because of a “resettlement” program) beheaded her……
When I walk into a store now and see them, I just turn around and leave…..

It is disturbing how so many of these refugees commit so many horrific crimes in such a short period. Yet so many liberals want them to come to America…I fear for our future, I honestly do.

And the educational costs are horrific….and highly disruptive to schools….our kids are prisoners there….and forced to “learn” about Muslim religion while Christianity is mocked and not allowed to be discussed.

I have many links to articles about that. It’s sickening, that Trump isn’t doing anything about Islam being taught to young children in our schools, or for that matter, the many muslim training camps we have in this country! I have one in my state! He’s too busy sending our troops to Afghanistan…it’s making me furious!

And this only addresses the welfare. No one seems to be talking about the fact that within the first month here they are directed to go to the Social Security offices and apply for disability – and they get it under Title XVI, which gives disability checks to individuals who have never worked.

Well of course its crazy. As Mark Twain said, “If elections meant anything they would not allow us to vote.”

Private charities should help the beggars in their home countries. The US taxpayer can not provide welfare to every beggar in the world.
The Democratic Communist party uses the USA welfare system to buy votes from any and all beggars they can get their hands on including bringing in foreign beggars as if the USA does not have plenty of home grown beggars.
