I think they expect the refugees to be grateful because the US wanted to get something out of it for going into the war. They don't care about how the refugees are faring because that was an unintentional consequence of the war they fought.

Being a refugee makes a person go through unimaginable trials that people can only have nightmares about. The silence that ensues after the mention of these issues are often because these privileged folk have only gone through first world problems. It is very difficult to sympathize with a group of people who have a completely different lifestyle, culture, values, and even image. However, the silence that follows is also an indication of deep thought or even guilt about the privilege of not being part of a war torn country. Tue, 03 Nov 2015 15:40:16 -0500
