    North Carolina: Refugees out of Work and Struggling

    North Carolina: Refugees out of Work and Struggling


    03/30/2020 ~ Ann Corcoran


    This story is no surprise and I expect there will be many more like it in the coming days and weeks.


    Refugees work at menial labor—cleaning hotel and dorm rooms, working in restaurant kitchens, etc. all no longer essential services—and they are increasingly unemployed (however $$$ is on the way from the feds).


    I guess we can say it sure is a good thing that the Trump administration cut the flow of refugees to America starting last October or we would have even more unhappy, struggling people as those described here.


    From The Daily Tar Heel:


    Refugees in Orange County struggle to make ends meet amid COVID-19 economic hardships









    All those North Carolinians who have been ‘welcoming’ refugees to the state for the last decade need to get out there now and pay the rent, tutor the kids and feed/clothe the impoverished people they invited to their towns and cities.


    Coronavirus has forced many families to alter their ways of life. Although COVID-19 has impacted almost every Orange County resident, a group that has been especially devastated is the local refugee community.


    Refugees can already be a vulnerable population without something like the coronavirus, said Flicka Bateman, director of the Refugee Support Center, a volunteer-based organization that helps transition refugees in Orange County to their new lives.


    “I know people who’ve been here less than three weeks, I can’t imagine what in the world for them it must be like,” she said.


    “They’re totally uprooted, they’ve left situations that were full of violence and uncertainty, and then they come here and instead of being able to learn English and get all these services, suddenly they’re told to stay where they are and people will do the best they can remotely. It’s just very tough.”


    Orange County has about 1,200 refugees, primarily from Burma, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Syria.


    [It would be many more if Trump had not cut the flow this year—ed].


    Bateman said a lot of refugees in the area have lost their jobs or seen reduced hours, especially those who work in restaurants or hotels, or in food service and housekeeping at UNC, where dorms have been closed and dining services have been severely reduced.

    Adam Clark, office director of World Relief Durham, a refugee resettlement agency based in Durham
    that serves refugees across the Triangle area, said programs that help refugees with employment have seen a spike in applications due to a greater amount of people needing sudden job assistance.


    He said they’ve seen about 20-30 unemployment applications among refugees just in the last week, and a long list of people are already waiting.


    “There are a lot of refugees worried about their rent, obviously the same things that are affecting everyone,” he said. “But I think it just affects them even more because of the sectors they work in.”


    Hannah Olmstead, a junior at UNC who is a part-time caseworker at World Relief Durham, said as local school districts transition to online instruction, many refugee parents don’t have the English ability or understanding of American education to homeschool their children.

    We need to defund and shut down these refugee programs!

    We do not need more run down communities full of poverty, overbreeding, and people who will be dependent on the government to pay their bills for the next 4-5 generations.

    They all get "free" stuff, we do not have the financial resources to pay for this!

    It is expensive to live here, they cannot afford it, WE cannot afford to live here ourselves!


    NOW WE HAVE MILLIONS AND MILLION OF "REFUGEES", "ILLEGAL ALIENS", "TPS", AND "ASYLUM LIARS", out of work and no means to take care of themselves!!! No more taxpayer money funding this!
