Minnesota has the most refugees per capita in the U.S. Will that continue?
Minnesota has the highest number of refugees per capita nationwide, according to the U.S. Census and refugee-support agencies. With 2 percent of the nation’s population, Minnesota has 13 percent of its refugees.
refugees cost an estimated $107,000 each in food aid, medical expenses and other services, according to one researcher. The resettlement cost per refugee, includes the cost of food stamps, English lessons, job training and social services
Communities have no control over the in-flow of refugees, yet they must share the cost of supporting them according to Kim Crockett, VP of the Center of the American Experiment, a conservative think tank.

It’s a chain reaction, refugees attract family and friends, who attract more refugees.”

The refugee resettlement program is a federal effort, but the federal government “does not compensate Minnesota, or the local school districts, cities or counties, who find themselves coping with large concentrations of refugees,” Crockett says; so when refugees are enrolled in Medicaid, assistance programs for housing, transportation or language study, Minnesotans absorb the extra costs.
“Today, voluntary agencies like Lutheran Social Services and Catholic Charities have more say on where refugees are placed than elected officials in Minnesota,” Crockett adds. “That’s wrong
City council Jeff Johnson had a plan to limit refugee settlement: “I wanted a moratorium until we could find out how much money is being spent. Johnson favors Trump’s cutbacks announced in 2017. He isn’t surprised that sponsoring agencies support more refugees.
“Of course they think it’s a good deal. They get about $1,000 apiece,” said Johnson. The International Institute’s Graupman confirmed that the refugees each get $950 when they arrive, and the sponsoring agency gets the same amount.
