Some worry sluggish Michigan economy can't support Iraqi refugees

Detroit - Concerns have risen about whether southeast Michigan can
absorb an expected 2,000 Iraqi refugees.
Some worry the influx will further strain an area where 169,000 people
are already unemployed.
Federal officials say about half of the 7,000 Iraqis fleeing fighting in
Iraq will eventually resettle in Michigan.
Warren Mayor Mark Steenbergh says the refugees will strain services and
drag down an already struggling state economy.
But University of Michigan economist Donald Grimes says Iraqi refugees
will bring with them advanced degrees and an entrepreneurial spirit.
Demographer Kurt Metzger says local Arabs and Chaldeans have a history
of owning businesses and helping out newcomers. He says they also take
jobs many Americans do not want.
