The estimated cost to resettle an average, single Middle Eastern refugee in the U.S. over the first five years is $64,370 — or 12 times the United Nations estimates it costs to support a refugee staying in a neighboring Middle Eastern country, according to an analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies.
With the Obama administration planning to admit thousands of refugees from Middle Eastern hotspots like Syria to the U.S., a new CIS report slated for release Thursday and obtained in advance by Breitbart News, compares the cost of resettlement in the U.S. with supporting the refugees abroad.
“Given limited funds, the high costs of resettling refugees in the United States means that providing for them in neighboring countries in the Middle East is more cost-effective, allowing us to help more people,” Steven Camarota, lead author of the report and director of research at CIS, said.
