Is it true that Refugees can go back to where they belong but stay because of the U.S. welfare system?
Because refugees are fleeing potentially life-threatening persecution in their home countries they do not have the luxury of bringing personal possessions or preparing for their new journey. Therefore, the federal government exempts newly arrived refugees from all of its eligibility provisions, which restrict access to SSI, Medicaid, and Food Stamps but only for their first 7 years after being granted such status.
