Which Iraq refugees will the U.S. get?

Question

Will we get the cream of the crop Iraqis, you know the educated ones who will be needed to rebuild Iraq, or the most vulnerable of them as the U.N. commissioner seems to indicate?

Between 2003 and 2005, more than 253,000 Iraqis did return home, including from Iran, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Jordan and other countries.

Now, however, the returns have stopped and many more people are fleeing, including large numbers of skilled professionals crucial to Iraq's recovery.

Guterres' office has said it hopes to permanently resettle this year up to 20,000 Iraqis whom it considers the most vulnerable, including women, children, survivors of torture, the seriously ill and minorities.

Answer 1

Well, according to the reports, we are supposed to get 7,000... however, Iraq IS complaining because we are not taking enough. The truth of the matter is, WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT DURING OR AFTER WWII, and I think that the price of this war is getting higher than just dollars and cents.

I'm not against people coming into this country. What I am against is the FREE RIDE their getting. Home, car...money, living tax free for 7 years and our tax dollars are paying for this.

Where are all the jobs for these people going to come from? I have only been able to find a part time cleaning job and I have years of good, solid experience and a college education. But I have to live like a pauper and I can't afford to live on my own at age 57. I'm staying with a man I divorced over 14 years ago, just to have a place to live. I yearn to have my own small home to live in. Something I haven't had for 19 years. I want nothing more than to live my life without fighting for every moresel of food in my fridge. Yet, my tax dollars are being spent on people who are strangers to this land.

When my grandparents came from Italy back in the early 1800's the GOVERNMENT GAVE THEM NOTHING...and they still kissed the ground when they got off the boat, but had to work at anything they could find. Why should others be able to come here and live free. It isn't my fault that we are in a country where we truly don't belong, even though in some aspect I can support the fact that they need a democracy like we have. But why make us pay for it?
