Dear refugee; come at your own risk.   I know you believe you are leaving the land of terror in the Middle East for the land of opportunity and peace, but St. Louis can look like those same streets you think you are escaping.   Gun shots ring out every night in the STL neighborhoods, inner-city, north-side, south-side and west-side.  East-side only saved by the Mississippi River.   East-side puts you in East St. Louis, Illinois, maybe you’d feel at home there.

If you inch your way west of the city, into the counties, you will find job opportunities.   Hiring signs are scattered everywhere, if you don’t mind flipping burgers, nail salons, sweeping floors; all those jobs Americans on unemployment benefits do…
