This policy is something our foundation was founded on and we should keep that in mind and stay true to ourselves. Furthermore there are always jobs that need to be done that many not want to do. They don 't pay well and are a hassle to complete if you have something else you rather do. If we had more people in our country those jobs would be filled with people who would actually like to help and get a little money while they do it. Any money is money for these refugees so it would increase labor force that we need for low paying jobs.
