But these people are different...they're not like us...they don't have our values...they don't assimilate. (You know, like the Irish, or the Italians, or Jews...)

I really find it hard to accept that people in a nation of immigrants can harbor such fear and hatred of other potential immigrants; people who risked their lives to escape disaster in their home countries.

She was more the victim of a robbery than a terror attack.

Wow thanks for clearing that up do she's dead from the not so bad death...

Refugees not buying it, specially in the way it was done behind closed doors and with no community input.

Agree on how it was handled and it will cost Louras votes when/if he runs again.

IMHO, most are probably working for cash under the table ... hard to get solid numbers that way.

and we need that here why? there's no upside to refugee's coming here that I can see and certainly no need to expedite or otherwise encourage the process...there's no population shortage, no labor shortage and no shortage of unemployable lifetime wards of the state...we are 100+ years beyond needing to fulfill our "manifest destiny"....any resources allocated ( and lets make those less too) s/b directed towards resolving the issues they are fleeing so they can remain there vs fleeing to some place where most of the people do not want them...

Refugees are cheap labor. All the minimum wages places I visit have help wanted signs ... it's either a labor shortage or just a coincidence. However, I'm sure some shortages are localized and some much broader.
