Not my logic; I disagreed with the original commenter's assumption that we shouldn't help ANY refugee as long as there are still homeless/hungry people who were born here.  I disagree because some people who are homeless choose to reject help available to them - "lowly" jobs, addiction and mental health treatment, self-help groups that are free and always available without waiting lists, shelters with rules, etc.  Giving to those who are already working hard to help themselves (refugees I have met) helps; giving to those who claim to need help but won't make any sacrifices to help themselves enables them to stay non-productive.  These principles apply regardless of where anyone was born.
