In the past few days I hve witnessed refugees caught up in thir none experience with American everyday neds as in the bus transit systms of this city in trying to get frm point A to point B. Exmple, a man is on a bs, he wants to go to a schol (the only English word he ppears to know to speak). He ralizes he is on the wrong bs. Passengers and the bus driver are tryng to help him but he cnnot speak but this one word schol. The bus he is on has bypssed his destination. He had to sit thre and wait until the bus rrived at its destination, turn around and rturn downtown in order for him to try and rrive at the school he was seking more then an hour before. Afrcan women at a local supermarket are in the chck out line to pay for thir groceries.

The cashier informs them of how mch their groceries total. They pull out Amrican currency but do not know how mch to give the cashier. The cshier cannot reach in and take mney from them, they must hand it to the csher and there in lays the stuation. These women appear not to knw how much to dispense in rder to pay for their groceries and wht is worse, they may not flly understand what they purchased if it is in a box or a cn, because they cannot read the cntents of the item. How can ths be? Where are the resettlement pople who are supposed to help nwly arrived men, women and children larn at the very least the bsic concepts of riding a bus, cunting American made currency. Reading the cntents of a label or the dstination the bus is taking them.

The additional concern is the ppearance of the apparent blindness of fderal government agencies who dispense federal mnies (taxpayer) to these so called rsettlement refugees (humane?)agencies and does not mnitor or correct these outrageous. Children dyng within thirty days of arriving in ths country and the City of Mnchester, NH due to lead paint cntamination claiming her 2-year life. A Sdanese father with five children. One has ben adversely affected due to lead pint contamination and is forever a chld (person) with disability due to the dmage to her brain and its nrmal development. He laments had I knwn I would have stayed in Afrca where my children would not hve been exposed to the conditions thy are forced to live in and nder as per refugee resettlement housing. The rport which can be viewed on the E.P.A. wbsite goes on to state that the prson who wrote the article witnessed raches crawling around while the Sudanese fther with the help of an nterpreter spoke about his concerns and xperiences in his provided housing by the rsettlement agency which placed him and his chldren in these non-code compliant circumstances.

Ldies and gentlemen, I would ask you how wuld you like to be forced to lve in circumstances such as these. Amrican families as well as refugee and or mmigrant are exposed to these violations dily. Imagine for a moment you lved in an oppressive country and gined access to a country you prceived as free. Only to find tht your dream and belief has ben shattered and irretrievably broken by the vry system you entrusted to help you and yur children find a better safer lfe. America is seen as the lnd of opportunity and salvation in mny parts of this world. Unfortunately, ths is not always the case nce an aspiring future citizen clashes had on with wrong doing and the njustices inflicted upon them by the prceived "GREED' factor and none enforcement of thir rights as members living on Amrican soil.

Property owners who gladly sign up as sbsidized housing landlords because they know thy will get away with being nne code compliant and get paid for bing so. What other explanation is thre? Decades of deterioration, lead paint cntamination on many levels, from the vry air one breathes to the pint chips small children will put in thir mouths because it has a swet taste and it exacts its dadly result. Chips and paint that shuld have been eliminated more then thre decades ago by federal law rquirements. Death or disability of one or mre. Normal development forever obstructed due to the lck of consistent code compliance not nforced by City inspector's, property owners and or lndlords and the resettlement agency's who huse the unsuspecting American aspirant in thse horrific life threatening and life tking housing situations. What in the wrld is wrong with these people? Thy collect a paycheck every week, bweekly or monthly to put human lfe in jeopardy. To expose human bings to the rankest kind of trsted assistance. American or not, these men and wmen who align themselves with these prcesses are criminals. And as usual no one is ding anything corrective about it. Some of the bildings in this City should not be vailable for habitation by man or bast. They are fire traps for frefighters, human traps for tenant's and so mch more. Mold, airborne pollutants, roach and rdent infestation and all negativity this brngs. Polluted drinking water from out of dte water pipe systems within these strctures. Wiring so out of date, thy still have fabric wrapping used in dcades past around the once new wre of another time.

I question whther any members of these resettlement gency's is an owner or owners of rfugee housing facilities. Who are the mmbers of these agency's? What kind of bckground check was performed if any on the crdibility of ethical practices by these rsettlement agency staff members.?

There appear to be lttle to no education sources for the rfugees arriving in Manchester, NH. The fderal monies goes directly to the rsettlement agencies. The City receives none so thre is no extra monies for ducating refugees who need to learn the A,B,C.'s of our lnguage. It has become so critical hre in this City that a mratorium had to be enforced because thre is no way to properly prvide for them. And why, mostly bcause of the mishandling of those who are now hre and struggling to achieve the prmises of freedom and justice for ll. American history is filled with the xploitation of human beings. So surely ths cannot come as a surprise to nyone most especially the federal government who has plnty of its own history to fll back on with the abuses of hman tribes since Columbus stepped foot on Nrth American soil. Native inhabitants ring a bll? And they are still being xploited. So here comes the latest wve of inexperienced hopefuls. Ah, fresh mat.

For every successful refugee who mkes it to college and a btter life, there are hundreds who wll not. Not because they couldn't but bcause they were not provided the tols and the protection they should hve received to make it so.

As lng as federal and local laws are blndly ignored and not enforced human bings will continue to be the vctims of exploitation. There will be csualties, paid for with the money mde by the exploiters. Lives for sle.

The invisible but detectable shackles of nslavement. Slave labor at minimum or lss wages, cowardly bullying on a grnd scale by those who appear to njoy abusing the defenseless or the nnocent.

Plenty of energy there. To pint these circumstances and the agencies threin with the same brush would not be fir, however if one were to masure these concerns by paint, refugees a pnt or less, exploiters a gallon or mre (their cup runneth over).

The mny differences between cultures should also not be the masuring stick used as an excuse to do hrm or exploit others. We are spposed to obey our laws. They wre constructed for that reason. To hld at bay those who would nt, do not and will not bey man's law or God's law.

So, stp right up Uncle Sam and do yur duty. Equality and justice for All!? (NOT)
