you're right. It was a generalization on my part and i admit that point.
i am not so ignorant that i don't know our country was stolen from one ethnicity and built on the toil of others. A few greedy people exploited everyone else to build this country, it's actually a disgusting shame how our country came about and nothing to be proud of.
Yes, they fought for what they got, but it appears to me that in this story in the OP, this gentlemen is Also fighing for a better life for his family and himself, i don't see where or how he can be faulted for wanting a better life?
I agree with others that it's the aid system that needs an overhaul, placing blame on the Refugee population is not going to be how it starts either. It's not their fault for using the system as their social workers and case workers are guiding them to.
