Among the challenges they faced: Mashal was initially resettled in Dallas without three of her young adult children, and they faced delays getting food benefits and health insurance. Mashal says her case worker was overwhelmed with 60 clients.

  1. Dear western why u feeding poisonous snakes in your back yard…study history & take decision…they have 53 plus muslims countries

  2. We are having all the same issues with our refugees in our town. We sponsor families and their caseworkers are overwhelmed with too many cases. There aren’t enough translators which means those refugees who can translate are running ragged all over town helping with translation but too busy to be able to look for jobs. They aren’t paid for translating.

  3. Welcome to America's suburban hellscape where you can do nothing without a car.

  4. These foreigners need to be back in Afghanistan.
    The only thing they should be given is a plane ride back to their own country.
    No asylum, no food assistance, no vouchers. Nothing.

  5. I am an X Muslim. Islam is the problem for all muslims. Watch out for Islam.

  6. I’m glad she is continuing her work and helping her fellow Afghanis and refugees!

  7. Let me get this right. She was GIVEN a place to live, a job and food. They brought her and her grown family here to "escape" i don't know what from her home country. Neither she or her children are United States citizens. But she is complaining about receiving things that a lot of United States CITIZENS cannot receive. She needs to GTFOOH….

  8. No investment required! The top 100 will get 200 UDT for free immediately, until the end of the collection.

  9. Imagine thinking men don't have it worse than women in any part of the world.

  10. She should not be teaching our children , and getting welfare ? Another Biden screw up .

  11. Americans need to stop producing for this regime

  12. Boo-effin'-hoo. Stop complaining.

  13. I'm sorry but,what's the point of this story???the American dream is earned,not received through charity

  14. how about trans athletes being banned 🚫 FINALLY

    EQUAL RIGHTS AND FAIRNESS

    KUDOS 👍

  15. Thanks to the unprecedented rapid rise in interest rates, I'm a single, childless, 59-year-old out-of-work finance industry worker with stage one Parkinsons that pays over $700/month for my COBRA insurance. How do I get an apartment, food benefits and health insurance that she was provided?

  16. Thankyou for staying true to your faith no matter how much the times have changed. Purity in faith is the way to God

  17. I’m losing my empathy for these people

  18. The entitlement is strong here..

  19. She invites herself to America and gets food stamps and a free apartment and complains that she didn't get a car and has to ride the bus .

  20. At least she and her family weren’t forced to wait in Mexico.

  21. Democrats And Republicans Have Failed America WeNeed A New Movement. https://youtu.be/EvY6nNCgl14
