For the same money, we could help a hundred times as many refugees in existing camps

Do refuges get more than our own people in need? Yes! Some are in hotels and getting $61 per day for food. But someone on welfare in Ontario gets just $10 per day to cover food, clothing and everything except accommodation. And tens of thousands of Aboriginal children live in conditions like what refugees are leaving, in remote settlements under boil-water advisory.
Without even considering the immense relocation costs, for 25,000 refugees here's a pro forma for the annual ongoing costs for a family with three children of school age moving to Ontario:
- Accommodation--$16,000
- Cash spending allowance--18,000 (90% more than Ontario welfare recipients get)
- Schooling for children--36,000 (provincial average per student x 3)
- Health care--30,000 (provincial average per person x 5)
- Total annual cost per family $100,000
