    Who’d have thought that refugees from one of the poorest places on earth, with little to no health or education infrastructure, would arrive in America poor and dependant on welfare.

    Noone gave them any bootstraps to pull themselves up with when they arrived? SMH

      Even if they got no real help upon arrival (as my great grandparents apparently didn’t), why make their lives difficult? Easier to exploit? Easier to control?

      Oh.
