"The newcomers from Nauru and Manus have had little apparent trouble
finding jobs. Jenny Leahy, an Australian aid worker who lived on Nauru,
visited dozens of them in the United States last month — from San Diego
to New York. All were supporting themselves, a fact consistent with
studies showing that refugees generate far more in government revenue,
through employment and entrepreneurship, than they cost in state services.
“They’re hard workers, and they’re the most honest, generous and
considerate people you could ever hope to meet,” she said as she sipped
tea with the Alis at their apartment. “It breaks my heart that they’re
not in Australia. Who wouldn’t want them as neighbors?”"
