Re: “Refugee Who Games the System?” 

I have spent a half-dozen days this month telling you about my Iranian refugee friend who came – or fled? – to America because she believes she can have a free ride in our adopted country for the rest of her life.

That leads me to a question for our presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump:

“If you are paying all these tax monies to people like my friend, The Political Asylum Refugee who thinks all is free in America, you and your agents are not should be aware that she has gone to Iran safe and happy and has returned only to continue her milking. If you don’t know about that, how are you assuring us that you know who the terrorists are, where they go and what they do?”

Now a slice of advice: It is an Iranian proverb:

“A lamp needed at home, is Haram (refused, not accepted) to offer it to the mosque.”

Homework: Add up all the money that people like my friend receive, multiply it by thousands and then you will be surprised how we can arrange our budget deficit if we have a wise president.

I gave the Iranian example, I know they will admit the truth and forgive me, as there is less prejudice for this community.

But this is true for hundreds of citizens of other countries who have learned how to milk America and Americans.
