Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) made time in the midst of an intense presidential campaign to issue a letter taking two high ranking government officials to task over the burdensome and high-cost refugee resettlement program.
“The United States resettles more refugees each year than any other nation. Since 2011, more than 330,000 refugees have arrived in the United States,” begins the March 24 Cruz letter addressed to Assistant Secretary of State Anne Richard and Office of Refugee Resettlement Director Robert Carey.
“A recent study of Middle Eastern refugees, for instance, found that, on average, each refugee cost taxpayers an estimated $64,370—or $257,481 per household—in the first five years.” The Cruz letter summarizes the makeup of these costs while pointing out the “welfare costs. It is estimated that 91% of Middle Eastern refugees receive food stamps, and 68% receive cash assistance.”
The letter moves on, speaking of those communities in which refugees are most frequently resettled and the disproportionate costs to those communities.

Why why why why are these illegal scum bags getting any money from taxpayers. These leaders are criminals, selling out taxpaying citizens. Stealing money from us to pay for people have Who have no desire to become true Americans. IT is disgusting and needs to stop immediately
Refugees are different than illegal immigrants. But, still, enough is enough. This is why working Americans are fed up with politicians. The liberals have to be purposely trying to destroy this country to become the socialist society they want. No freedom-loving American approves of this happening and that is why Trump's blunt remarks opposing immigration are popular with taxpayers. And that is why the career politicians are nervous.
