We read about other countries who have refugees. This country even sends money to help them in their situation. America has it’s own refugees, and it’s government turns a blind eye to their plight.

The dictionary explains that a “refugee” is one who flees from invasion, persecution, or political danger.  America is full of “refugees.” They are called “the homeless” aka “street people.” The poor face political danger of becoming homeless, by way of social neglect, insensitive concern for basic human needs, and the fear of imprisonment for simply trying to survive.

The poor are persecuted simply for not being able to find a job, being an ex-convict, or becoming ill, and loosing everything, because health insurance is not available to them. The mentally ill get caught in the middle.

Our country cuts serviced off to our poor, then they send billions of dollars over seas, to help those who are called “refugees.” “Our poor are also refugees.” Other countries are not sending our refugees any foreign aid.

The Land of Freedom, Opportunity and Wealth, REJECTS IT’S OWN REFUGEES to satisfy greedy political gains. Corruption and power of leaders, see the poor as worthless. But the Bible promises that THE MEEK are the ones who will inherit the earth.

    We must have been thinking alike. I wrote my Mrs. Heart’s 7th message about using our spare change to help people overseas. People should want to help the poor and ill people of this world. Like it!

    Charity begins at home.

    I fully agree with you.As far as US is concerned,Charity begins at away from home.A country which fully endorses the Darwinian theory ‘the survival of the fittest’; the net result is poor people are the hapless.Thanks for sharing your views rather boldly.

    i agree, charity should begin at home, we have children in need each year, thousands of pounds go to refugees abroad not in our country where we need homes because refugees have come here to live in england and they get better looked after than us, thats why people get so angry, we have no jobs because all the jobs go to the poles.Thanks for sharing and letting me get that off my chest.

    I agree, take care of what is here at home, before you go abroad.
