City officials (Warren Michigan) said the federal government has agreed to accept up to 25,000 Iraqi refugees into the United States. In order to obtain refugee status with the U.S. Department of State, applicants must list someone living here as a contact person.
Steenbergh said 66 percent of the total refugee allotment may be located in Warren and Sterling Heights because those communities have significant Iraqi populations. There are very few jobs for americans so where are the Iraqi people going to work?
