I would like to point out that you are blaming Refugees on wasting the 'tab' of American taxpayers.... It's such a small pittance to the fact that our government and the wealthiest top 2 percent of people in this country control largely 80 percent of the money. Why waste your time being angry about the tiny amount of money spent on Refugee programs when you could be focusing your attention on the fact that our economy is controlled by a small amount of greedy people when keep our minimum wages low and our health/living costs high.

Seems to me that you are scapegoating the Refugee population, which has been done for hundreds of years, but incorrectly. Look at the real people in our country who are working the system, and it's not the poorest in our country, it's the richest.

In fact, only 1.7 billion is spent on Refugees.
