According to Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) data highlighted by the immigration subcommittee staff of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) — chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest — in FY 2013, 91.4 percent of Middle Eastern refugees (accepted to the U.S. between 2008-2013) received food stamps, 73.1 percent were on Medicaid or Refugee Medical Assistance and 68.3 percent were on cash welfare.
Middle Eastern refugees used a number of other assistance programs at slightly lower rates. For example, 36.7 percent received Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), 32.1 percent received Supplemental Security Income (SSI), 19.7 percent lived in public housing, 17.3 percent were on General Assistance (GA), and 10.9 percent received Refugee Cash Assistance (RCA).

Turn out the lights - it's over
Let me show you my shocked face....
that's what we r here for, I guess ill get a second job to help out
These people are refugees. In many cases if not most cases they have lost everything. In most cases they have experienced horrors and hardships most of you complainers will never experience. Be thankful you live here in debt ridden America where things are so bad people continue to drive their Harley's, drive their classic cars, eat out at fast food joints and vacation in our many vacation meccas.
As Trump might say business is good but lets make America great again anyway.
Another bleeding heart....
I don't have an obligation to care for these immigrants. It's not my fault they have problems. They should unite and fight for the freedoms like our founders did. They should then be prepared to fight to keep it. Not come here and suck off the teat of those who have already done all the heavy lifting. Build the wall trump and take the money we pay the UN to hire enough border patrol to guard the borders
Look at all those votes.
