Michigan no longer land of promise for Iraqi refugees
Michigan's economy is so bad that State Department is sending fewer Iraqi refugees to the area because of concerns that their future would not be bright.
After a request by relief workers, the policy of bringing Iraqis to Metro Detroit if relatives or friends live in the area was changed to allow only those with immediate family to settle here, according to the State Department.
"The State Department has taken the measure of things and decided it would be better to send them somewhere else, where they might be self-sufficient, instead of coming to Michigan, because the economy is very bad here and we have the highest unemployment in the country," Belmin Pinjic of Lutheran Social Services of Michigan said Thursday. The agency is one of several designated by the federal government to provide relief to the refugees.

Give us your poor, your tired, your huddled masses longing to be free...wait better send them somewhere else, I can't even find a job.
If any headline encapsulates the plight of Michigan, it is listed above.
Yes it's that bad here, and people wonder why Michigan is a blue state.
We are turning away refugees because they have a better chance somewhere else...
Wait let me phrase this so everyone can fully understand...
A typical Michigander is worse off than a Iraqi refugee.
Welcome To Detroit
