Tiffany and Van Orden lived in a hateful, MAGA-fueled world.
Twenty-one of the 75 refugees already have been moved to the Eau Claire area. The federal government only allows the settlement of refugees who have been vetted and granted work permits. Groups like World Relief Wisconsin help them find housing and jobs.
Cornelius said refugees are not a drain on the communities they live in.
“They’re paying their taxes from day one,” she said.
Refugees have been settling in Wisconsin for decades. State records showed more than 16,700 refugees have been placed in the state since 2001. Cornelius said legislation like this may send a message to refugees that they’re not welcome. [emphasis added]
“When in fact, what we have seen with our refugees arriving is that they have been received very warmly in the communities where we work as well as throughout the state of Wisconsin,” Cornelius said.
