    Majority of Foreign Refugees Can’t Speak English After Five Years Living in U.S.

    Majority of Foreign Refugees Can’t Speak English After Five Years Living in U.S.

    The majority of foreign refugees arriving in the United States every year cannot speak English, even after they have lived in the U.S. for five years.


    An annual report by the Office of Refugee Resettlement was analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies’ Jason Richwine and reveals the extent to which assimilation to life in America has failed for the refugee population.
    About 58 percent, or nearly 6-in-10 refugees have “below basic” English skills after living in the U.S. for five years. These unassimilated refugees are sometimes described as “functionally illiterate.”

    The number of refugees who cannot speak English is far below the native-born population, where 85 percent of Americans are proficient in English. Meanwhile, less than 20 percent of refugees in the U.S. — who have lived in the country for five years — have “proficient” English speaking skills.

    (Center for Immigration Studies)

    Since 2008, as Breitbart News reported, the U.S. has permanently resettled more than 1.7 million foreign nationals and refugees through a variety of humanitarian programs like the Special Immigrant Juveniles and the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act. This is a foreign population larger than Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — a city with more than 1.5 million residents.

    The majority, about 56 percent, of refugee households between 2011 and 2015 were on food stamps, a welfare service that is subsidized by the American taxpayer.

    Nearly 30 percent of refugees received cash welfare of some sort between 2011 and 2015, while 34 percent of refugees 18-years-old or older said they had no health insurance. Of the refugees who said they did have health insurance, about 50 percent said they were either on Medicaid or Refugee Medical Assistance, both of which are taxpayer-funded.

    As Breitbart News‘s Michael Patrick Leahy noted most recently, President Trump’s administration has historically reduced the annual inflow of foreign refugees. Under Trump’s “America First” agenda, the U.S. is on pace to accept less than 23,000 refugees for the Fiscal Year 2018. This would be the lowest yearly refugee admission in three decades.

    Get them out, keep them out, don't let any more in. Very simple.

    These job figures are not accurate, most if not all of them are on public assistance of some sort and yes most of them do not speak english and most likely never will.
    Freedom isn't free... Don't forget the men who died and gave that right to all of us....
