Welfare Usage By Middle Eastern Refugees

Denmark recently cut refugee benefits in half. We should do the same. Maybe they will decide to go somewhere else.

@Matt,
I think there should be a multi year prohibition on any form of Gov’t assistance. That is until you’ve been here and as a citizen for X years you can’t receive anything.

@AC
did you miss the article from 2012 discussing how much welfare and associated programs “paid” and what it was equivalent to? This was Louisiana, not exactly a place that hands out as much money as say California or New York, but it worked out that if your income was a under 2K per year, you could get upwards of 30K or 35K from all forms of assistance – Money for food, housing, heat/electric, etc. Given that is untaxed, it meant that a tax paying person had to earn about 60K to have the same after tax income (35K). I wish I could find the link for you on it.
Here is a related link that uses PA as the example. http://humanevents.com/2012/11/28/poverty-pays-better-than-middle-class-employment/
