Virginia’s Syrian Refugees Resettled In Poor Communities Hours Away From Wealthy DC Suburbs
According to data from the U.S. State Department’s Refugee Processing Center, almost all of the Syrian refugees resettled in Virginia since October have been placed in towns with lower incomes and higher poverty rates, hours away from the wealthy suburbs outside of Washington, D.C.
Of the 121 Syrian refugees placed in Virginia so far, 112 have been placed in communities at least 100 miles away from the nation’s capital; 105 were placed in cities where median incomes fall below the state average.
The D.C. suburban counties of Fairfax, Loudoun and Arlington are all among the nation’s wealthiest and, according to U.S. census data, collectively have roughly 1.7 million residents. The three counties have resettled a grand total of nine Syrian refugees, all nine of whom were placed in the city of Falls Church.
And what were their relative income levels in Syria, before they were placed here? Yes, they'll get financial assistance for housing, food, etc, etc, but it's not enough to live on in Chevy Chase without some other income source.
Oh yeah. The let's save the world, feel-good, everyone is welcome!!, diversity loving, wealthy elite WANT illegal immigrants to come here. They just don't want any close contact with them or have them as neighbors. That stuff is for the serfs. The closest any of them will get to an illegal immigrant is talking to the one who cleans their house. Keep cheering.
Certainly they are placed in the poor communities. Obama doesn't want any of them near him once he is out of the white house.
