The "refugee" help advocated by LIRS will come largely from U.S. taxpayer dollars, which are the same U.S. tax dollars which makes up 97% of the funding of LIRS, according to a September 4, 2015, Refugee Settlement Watch article, "Lutherans call for 200,000 refugees to be admitted to US in 2016 including 100,000 Syrians."

As for the "refugees" themselves, a Breitbart article, "More than 90 Percent of Middle Eastern Refugees Are on Food Stamps," notes:

"According to Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) data highlighted by the immigration subcommittee staff of Sen. Jeff Sessions, chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, in FY 2013, 91.4 percent of Middle Eastern refugees (accepted to the U.S. between 2008-2013) received food stamps, 73.1 percent were on Medicaid or Refugee Medical Assistance and 68.3 percent were on cash welfare."
