I am privileged enough to get to work with refugees that come to Clarkston, Georgia, where 31.8 percent of the population is foreign-born. That's approximately 60 languages spoken in a 1.4 square mile. It's like a safe haven for refugees and is probably the most diverse county in the entire state, with people from hundreds of different countries living here.

The fear of letting refugees into our country is thanks to the media for painting refugees as dangerous people. There has not been an incident on U.S. soil where a refugee has taken a life. Refugees don't have many choices they get to make for themselves, all they care about is survival.

The U.S. is the hardest country to enter as a refugee, rejecting 50 percent of all applications applied to come here. Refugees are part of humanity and can offer so much knowledge and wisdom to the world. When a refugee comes to the states they are set up with a team of people helping them find a job, apartments, and whatever else they need but after the 90 days are up the team sends that refugee on their way.

The people I've gotten to work with are some of the most hard-working, passionate, and dedicated people I've ever met. These people are so grateful to be coming to the U.S. that they are often extremely passionate about finding work and being able to contribute to society.

I can safely say that refugees are not this country's problem, refugees are part of humanity and as humans and as a Christian, it is my duty to help them out. Putting yourself in their shoes makes it a no-brainer to help.
