Some of our people in our districts. wanting to be helpful. sponsor someone who wishes to come in from some other country. Our people pay their way here. provide jobs for them. living quarters. and everything that is necessary to live as does the ordinary American. Then the refugee pops up and away he goes. Often when located on a farm. he will stay maybe a week or so. Then he will find that farm work requires more time. the hours are longer. than those in a town or factory. He learns he can get more money in the city or in the factory. So he is through with his sponsor. Just recently. within the last week. there was a situation where a family in rather moderate circumstances sponsored a refugee and gave the family an opportunity. They spent something like $900 to get him here. That gentleman was not content to just move and to leave the farm.
