"To be called a refugee is the opposite of an insult: it is a badge of strength, courage, and victory. " -Tennessee Office for Refugees

Most, if not all, refugees cannot afford to eat a full meal and sleep in a comfortable house because they have no access to legal employment. This means that they cannot get good jobs and are stuck with the jobs no one else wants to do. It isn't uncommon for large groups of families to stay together in a small household because they cannot afford to get something bigger.
