What best describes your opinion of public and private assistance provided to Hmong refugees arriving in Wisconsin?

Refugees should be entitled to same level of public assistance as unemployed residents receive.
Refugees need a higher level of public assistance to start life in Wisconsin.
The private sector, not government, should provide necessary assistance.
Government should assist school districts with funding to accommodate refugee students with learning needs.
Government should fund literacy and job training classes so refugees can enter the work force as quickly as possible.
