Before we even consider helping anyone else, there should be asubstantive investigation and report released on how well the refugees, asylum seekers and illegal migrants/border crossers are doing. Much was made of the Syrian refugee situation a couple of years ago, now two, three or four years later, we need to know how they are making out. Periodic reports come in with information that food banks have seen a vast increase, with recent arrivals from the Middle east being a large part of the increased numbers. How difficult is housing for them ? Many are in need of language instruction, how well is that working ?  Until that happens it will be difficult to work and therefore makes them dependent on government assistance for a longer period of time. Which brings up another point, how many are still on government assistance after several years? There obviously will be no data on the recent border crossers, but eventually there will be. The government owes us answers.
