I actually think we should feel sorry for these immigrants. It's a very sad story.
I agree with most of your sentiment mal but the policy that allowed them to enter the US in the first place is what needs to be evaluated. If we allow, in fact encourage, people who are selected for admittance because of their refugee status according to the current policy then we owe it to them to make sure they are properly supported all the way to self sufficiency. If we don't do that we'll end up supporting them anyway -- one way or another. These seemingly good people are now subject to exploitation and other nefarious intentions. They may even resort to other not so legal means of supporting themselves.
Clearly this policy needs to be reevaluated. I don't claim to have the right answer but this case looks particularly bad for what current policy allows.
