That's good. Considering vets receive preference for federal jobs and Trump cut off that job source.

Starbucks, unlike this rinky-dink outfit, can do both.

Why, is it bad to hire refugees? Isn't it a good thing when refugees make a living, stop being a burden, take steps to get integrated?

Or is this a case of "Damn refugees, coming here to live on welfare" co-existing in your head with "Damn refugees, coming here and taking our jobs!"?

Because America has an obligation to its veterans. It does not have an obligation to refugees. So to put refugees on a level playing field with veterans is an unAmerican move by Starbucks. That is what you come to expect from globalists. Sad, really sad and a slap in the face to veterans looking for work.

So you're against the federal hiring freeze?

I didn't realize the federal government was making veterans compete with refugees for federal jobs.

Btw when Starbucks said they will hire 10,000 refugees that may be a discriminatory announcement as they hire based on origin which is against the law!
Did you miss or dismisd the part of the Starbuck's CEO's announcement that refugee hiring would occur over 5 years, across 75 international countries?

Did you miss / dismiss the Starbucks's CEO's 2013 commitment to hire 10,000 US veterans/ spouses by 2018?

Sounds like Hafer is a copy cat.

So what you are saying is that veterans only have to compete with refugees in America for 1 year? Great.

I see that by "America" you mean other people's companies. So - what's the cut-off point? Starbucks has decided to take on 10,000 vets. Not enough for you? Where are the other major companies stepping up? (Not the adept self-marketer in the headline, we both know he won't be hiring 1,000, much less 10,000, anytime soon.)

Or is it that nobody should get hired, ever, until every veteran is employed? (I take it you're a vet, then.)

There's the entire "humanitarian" thing, but I know that doesn't get much traction with today's right - as long as it's brown kids getting killed off-screen, meh. Be that as it may, we'll take it you're fine with refugees on welfare then. I mean, those are your options: Refugees with jobs or refugees on public support.

Starbuck's opened 700 new stores last year. Most were in India and China. Why would a company choose to limit their sales to just 5% of the world's population?

You and others seem to miss /dismiss Starbuck's hiring refugees was a global commitment, across 75 countries.

You and others seem to miss/ dismiss Starbuck's 2013 commitment to hire 10,000 US veterans / spouces by 2018 in US stores.

We live in a free country so companies can be as unAmerican as they like under the law. They can even burn our flag and refuse to stand for the national anthem. They also won't be getting a dime of my business.

You can try to rationalize it all you want. Are you really of the opinion that refugees and veterans should have equal preference?
