In refugee camps that were supposed to be havens, Maw Julie was raped and Win Han nearly choked to death by fellow refugees.

In a survey of 256 refugees from Burma, a University at Buffalo professor found that half experienced symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. That same survey found high rates of anxiety, depression and alcoholism. Yet of the 8,350 refugees from Burma who now live in Buffalo, only about 30 receive treatment from Lakeshore Behavioral Health Services, the main provider of psychiatric treatment in the West Side neighborhoods where most refugees live.

yes, it's sad, but we can't afford to be the world's nursemaid anymore. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be for America first. There's a reason the emergency procedures on planes say to put your oxygen mask on first before trying to help anyone else. If you try to help them first you both end up passing out and dying.
The labor participation rate is the lowest it's been since the mid to late 70s. We don't need more people, we need more jobs
