refugee aid. At the same
time, the length of time the
government funds a refu-
gee's resettlement has
declined from 36 months, to
24, to 15.
The cuts, says Schrader,
"don't really save any
money. They simply transfer
responsibility for the
emigres to states and
localities."
Resettlement problems are
exacerbated in Los Angeles,
where, writes Schrader,
English-language and job-
training classes are "already
jammed by formerly illegal
aliens seeking to become
citizens under the 1988 fed-
eral amnesty program,. .
[and] newcomers [from the
USSR] have to wait. Effec-
tively barred from working
because they cannot speak
English, many Soviet
emigres sit idly in their
apartments. The crowding is
even worse than it was back
home (there's an average of
six to a room)," where they
rely on welfare and financial
help from already-strapped
relatives.
Schrader is chagrined that
the Bush Administration
does not recognize that refu-
gee resettlement programs
are "a good investment." Of
3,387 emigres enrolled in
government-funded
employment training in L.A.
this year, 1,908 are already
working and, says Schrader,
saving the welfare system
about $2.4 million.
As refugees become
"increasingly frustrated" at
trying to become productive
members of American socie-
ty and the Bush Administra-
tion "makes political points
on the cheap, cities like Los
Angeles are struggling with
a new underclass that is get-
ting bigger every day."
Media Obsessed
With Mideast?
In the last 20 years, over
2,700 people have been
killed in Northern Ireland, .a
figure "arguably greater"
than the number of Israelis
and Palestinians killed in
clashes and terrorism in the
same period, according to
David Makovsky of the
Jerusalem Post.
Yet, a recent survey
calculated that CBS, NBC
and ABC devoted about 750
minutes to the
PLO/Palestinian last year
and about 40 minutes to
Northern Ireland.
"The PLO," wrote Makov-
sky, "no longer needs King
Fand or King Hussein to get
on the front page of the New
York Times." 0
