Mitt's dad and parents received US govt refugee funds


Posted: Sep 19, 2012

My refugee husband, who is now a small business owner and hefty taxpayer, also took advantage of this program in the early 80s while migrating from Iran (to escape imminent persecution for anti-regime political activities) via Germany, then Iowa, under the resettlement program.  He was on the dole for hostel housing, food, medical care and pocket money for around 16 months (9 months in Germany, and another 7 months in Iowa) while the bureacratic red tape ran its course and he became established in a host-family residence, a part-time job and school enrollment for ESL and jobs skills).  Within 6 months of his arrival, he had acquired enough English to land a job, then took it from there.  The program, compassion, voluntary involvement and financial sjupport of his host family saved his life.   

Jon Stewart pointed out that that part of his family history must mean Mitt could never get his own dad's vote, nor could he convince him to ever take personal responsibility for himself to become a productive contributor, relegating him to the moocher heap.  LOL.

Your husband is a great example of the American Dream. He worked hard to achieve his goals. The moocher heap, as you worded it, contains the people who make living off of welfare a lifestyle choice and would rather be a slacker on the govt. dole than bother to get an education and a job.

Do you have figures on these great masses of moochers - perchance?

Do they come from the same sources as the zombie voter-fraud "emergency" stats come from?

That's a good moniker for liberals. Can I use it? - Masses of Moochers. -

There are NO masses of moochers. They're talking - bout US, as usual turning us on ourselves.NM

A resettlement program - requires the person to work.

Your husband was on the "dole" for, what did you say, approx. 2 years? Nothing wrong with that, because he is not STILL on govt. assistance (correct?). Obama gutted welfare reform and now you don't have to work to receive our money. Go figure.

Ahem...take the word "to" out of the subject line. Then it makes sense. ;-) - backwards typist

I don't think our gov't pays refugee funds to people who flee to Mexico. If so, maybe I'll take them up on it. LOL

How Federal Funds Helped Mitt Reverse Olympic Revenue ShortagesJul 21, 2012

I don’t think it’s accidental. The limiting Visa program was President Obama’s action, not President Trump. If you review the actual text of the executive order (copied below in full) what you will immediately notice is the order doesn’t specify ANY countries to be included in the Visa suspension (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen). President Trump is not suspending visas from countries his team selected, they are simply suspending visa approval from countries Pre ...

When you are in a place to where you have children, you and you alone should be responsible for the care and upbringing of that child, no one else, not your parents, not the neighbors and surely not the government.

Instead, Trump had found a way to give away somebody else’s money and claim the credit for himself. Trump had earlier gone to a charity in New Jersey — the Charles Evans Foun ...

Nearly 200,000 residents north of Sacramento were ordered to evacuate after fears that erosion would cause the emergency spillway to fail, which would lead to “catastrophic flooding“ from a 30-foot wall of water. Despite more than a decade of warnings about Oroville, there is no publ ...
