Refers to a group of ethnically exclusionary immigrants that occupy multiple units or residences inside the same apartment building or neighborhood. The term does not necessarily indicate individuals with poor economic conditions.
For instance a large concentration of middle class, immigrant computer programmers residing in close proximity in the same apartment building would create a refugee camp.
The term is especially applicable to immigrants who refuse to interact widely with individuals outside of their own perceived ethnic group.
Such individuals may harbor racist feelings towards other ethnic groups but go unchallenged due to their recent immigrant status.

The rice that comes in the large sacks that are dropped on 3rd world countries. Mix with some ghetto-cheese and you've got one damn good free meal.
I stole some refugee rice from some poor family when i visited Ghana. It was a little stale, but it was damn good.

A vagina refugee is a human being that has been born into the world and cannot go back to where they came from which is the womb. Or a person who has had a lot of kids that they don’t know what to do with them.
I have had too many kids and don’t know what to do with them. But they are not going back in my vagina. They will be known as vagina refugees.

Many Welfare Refugees have minimal skills and theirfore work minimum wage jobs.
I worked at Comcast, where a majority of the workforce in customer service was either Welfare Refugees or brain-dead slobs!

Those innocents not subject to the doctrines and policies mandated for the federal level, public servants have taken private refugee status outside the authority of current political leaders. They are the political refugees and private gentiles.
I died and Jesus carried me to heaven where I ran into Tom Petty who said: "you don't have to live like a political refugee but my life was not over at the death of me." I still write songs spiritually inspired, years after the world said I retired. Rest in peace they say when you die and even after death retirement is a lie. Blessings, respect, and love to all from the inspirational spirits of the past.
