It’s not like you would if you had that option. We both know that.
I absolutely would. You don't know me.
If anything I'd offend them just so they'd leave me the frick alone. Because like I said I have no interest in having any sort of regular IRL interaction with that type of ignorant trash.

I always thought you were in your 50s. Thought I remembered you talking about grown children but I could be mistaken.

Well, you definitely have us there. I don't even want to get into the travel and commuting.

And I’d kick Mike Tyson’s arse if he looked at me sideways.
You’re an internet tough guy.

No. I'm definitely not a tough guy. But I'm known to speak my mind to people in public after a few cocktails
Honestly I don't know how I haven't gotten my arse kicked yet to be honest. I just trust that most people have thick enough skin to not actually want to get completely sideways with someone over a disagreement.

How many refugees do you think are actually 5th generation welfare recipients?
Did you really think I took that literally?
quote:
Most of these people are hungry to get to work as soon as they possibly can once they are resettled here. Many of them are entrepreneurs as well.
I'm glad you're able to quantify it for us.

I can promise you most do more for the economy than your average Louisiana citizen.
Yeah, I know a number of people from "shitholes" that are industrious, myself included. It's one of the reasons why I'm not big on generalizing.
That said, I also know a number that are net negatives who are raising their children to be net negatives, and I'm in awe that you can so confidently tell us that the majority will be productive.

What's sad is freaking out over less than 200 refugees a year settling in a state of over 4 million people as if that's of any significance to your daily life.

Just popped a bottle of long branch. All good.

I just think we have so many here in need before we start taking in any refugees, that’s all.

Refugees are vital to the U.S. labor market by filling needed jobs, and, as a group, have a higher employment rate than the U.S.-born population. Male refugees of working age had a 67 percent employment rate from 2009 to 2011, while native-born males had only a 60 percent employment rate during the same time period.
quote:
In addition to seeking employment, many refugees also opt to start their own businesses. Refugees, in fact, have higher entrepreneurship rates than the U.S.-born population and the foreign-born population. In 2015, over 181,000 refugee entrepreneurs generated $4.6 billion in business income.[17] These businesses provide jobs, goods, and services for thousands of Americans, both foreign and native-born.
It's important to segregate refugees from other immigrants also:
quote:
A study of refugees who arrived to the United States in 1980 found that ten years later these refugees earned 20 percent more than economic immigrants during the same time period.[10] The refugees also edged out economic immigrants by working four percent more hours and improving their English literacy skills 11 percent more. By 1990, the refugees saw their earnings grow 26 percent and their English-language abilities jump ten percent, relative to the 1980 baseline
Louisiana has a ton of problems. Refugees aren't one of them. If anything it would be the lack of refugees over the years.
