Consider security, other priorities before refugee relief
After reading the Jan. 21 article, “A call for community to welcome refugees,” I am very concerned with the direction the federal and state of Oregon governments are heading.
There are several questions that need to be answered before proceeding with accepting additional refugees.
— Are these people properly and thoroughly vetted? Please remember the San Bernardino 14.
— Are the government officials vetting these people willing to sign an affidavit swearing the vetted refugees will not violate our laws?
— Why are tax dollars supporting refugees while our veterans and military people are not provided needed care? Please remember the reasoning Wounded Warrior Project and others exist.
— Using tax dollars to support refugees while not paying the $18.9 trillion national debt is a fool’s folly.
