Why not relocate these people where employment is high, like Crawford, Texas.

Only about 700 Iraqis have been able to get visa since the war started. And many of them risked their lives working for US troops. They're not looking for fancy jobs when they try to move here. They just want place to live without getting body part blown at their face every day.

7% unemployment is low in comparison to Europe. Crawford, Texas is a small place, you really can't be serious. The best place for the educated Iraqis would be working for the US Government at the Defense Language Institute, to educate our troops in dealing with a culture that is so foreign to us and to learn their language. It would do more for understanding and good will and prepare the troops for the difficult life they face in Iraq.

That's a nice idea- but due to one of the "perks" of the Presidency, Bush will get his old job as a "brush clearer" back when he leaves Office in '09. -And I hear Cheney might be looking for work around there- too. So those Refugee's are gonna have to STAY where they're being sent. :(

Because we're worried that keeping them in Texas too long might cause them to become mentally retarded.
