00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:06.389
The reality is that the
refugees and we are experts,
2
00:00:06.456 --> 00:00:10.599
I mean, we've been working with
refugees for close to 40 years now.
3
00:00:10.666 --> 00:00:15.750
The reality is these people,
not only are they almost always
4
00:00:15.816 --> 00:00:18.839
the victims of war and
terrorism and the things that
5
00:00:18.906 --> 00:00:22.260
we are concerned about properly so
these people are the victims.
6
00:00:22.949 --> 00:00:28.379
But it's also true that these
are the most carefully selected
7
00:00:28.446 --> 00:00:30.929
people who come in to
the United States.
8
00:00:31.649 --> 00:00:34.770
They don't just open the door and say,
OK, anybody who wants to come,
9
00:00:34.836 --> 00:00:36.509
you be a refugee in the USA, you know.
10
00:00:36.929 --> 00:00:41.399
These people go through ever on
the average, about two years
11
00:00:41.466 --> 00:00:47.340
of investigation, background checks,
many interviews, this kind of thing.
12
00:00:47.850 --> 00:00:53.369
I look on refugees as a
wonderful treasure
13
00:00:53.436 --> 00:00:55.710
in the long run for the United States.
14
00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.060
For one thing, most people don't
understand this or don't know this,
15
00:01:00.126 --> 00:01:04.709
but the refugees almost always
come to the United States
16
00:01:06.510 --> 00:01:09.750
through the International
Organization for Migration,
17
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:15.150
which gives them a loan for the
travel to the United States
18
00:01:15.216 --> 00:01:18.090
and they are responsible to pay
that loan back over the next
19
00:01:18.156 --> 00:01:19.840
two years after they get jobs.
20
00:01:20.609 --> 00:01:22.049
That's just one example.
21
00:01:22.709 --> 00:01:28.590
These people almost always are
people with great courage.
22
00:01:28.859 --> 00:01:32.760
There are survivors who have
come out of situations that
23
00:01:32.826 --> 00:01:36.780
would that would wipe out many
of us who have never experienced that.
24
00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:42.209
And more often than not,
within months, certainly within
25
00:01:42.276 --> 00:01:44.489
two or three years,
they are not only
26
00:01:45.329 --> 00:01:49.500
quite self-sufficient,
working very hard,
27
00:01:50.489 --> 00:01:52.920
but they even helped to create jobs
for other people.
28
00:01:53.010 --> 00:01:58.859
We are doing far more violence
to other people by shutting the door
29
00:01:58.926 --> 00:02:03.269
to these people than we are
in danger of from them doing to us.
30
00:02:03.336 --> 00:02:07.260
They are a beautiful
asset to the United States,
31
00:02:07.326 --> 00:02:10.349
to European countries, to any
country they go to.
32
00:02:10.740 --> 00:02:18.629
These are people with courage, with faith,
with with rich diversity of backgrounds
33
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.110
that always build up countries
that they go into.
