Brigitte Gabriel: 'Refugee Resettlement' is 'About Supplying Cheap Labor' at U.S. Taxpayer Expense
By Michael W. Chapman | October 16, 2017
ACT for America President Brigitte Gabriel said certain U.S. industries seek to hire refugees instead of regular U.S. workers because a refugee's salary is often subsidized through the federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), which means "the regular American goes to the back" of the employment line while refugees are imported and hired, many of whom "do not share our values" and sometimes work "against our own country."
“Refugee resettlement is not about humanitarianism," said Gabriel during her speech at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C. on Oct. 13. "It is about supplying cheap labor – industries looking to boost their bottom line is what drives most refugee resettlement in the United States today."
"It is food processing, meat packing, manufacturing, and the hotel industry that have discovered that they can enjoy the cheap labor at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer, and at the expense of cultural and societal upheaval that communities are experiencing today," she said.
Gabriel continued, "Here’s what I mean by that: Most refugees are on some type of welfare and that makes anyone who employs them, any company that employs them, eligible for the federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit. An employer has a greater incentive to hire a refugee because the salary is subsidized by the government, than hiring a good, hard-working American who is looking for a job."
"This is what’s driving the refugee problem," she said. "A refugee’s salary is subsidized by the U.S. taxpayer while an average American job is not."
