Did you know refugees have to repay the US Government for their travel to this country?

Why Refugees Pay the U.S. Government $1,200

The U.S. is set to resettle 85,000 refugees next year, an increase of 15,000 annually.

Sooo how many have actually paid?
And do where all these broke refugees come from? Sounds like a load of crap just paving the way for the next wave from Syria.

That makes me a little uneasy...it sounds vaguely like a program that used to exist for the Irish....and yet, TANSTAAFL why shouldn't someone pay for a transatlantic transplant to a relatively safe and opportunity filled location?

Nice to hear they recoup some of the costs. Probably nowhere near what it costs and hard to imagine how long it takes for these poor folks to pay it back.

Given all of the subsidies they will receive, this fee will likely be forgiven as well.
