Refugees have to apply for citizenship or risk deportation. It’s a catch-22 for these guys - if you have a brain injury that makes learning English difficult, how do you fulfill your refugee status requirements?

St. Louis has benefited quite a bit from Bosnians moving into the previously economically-depressed area of South City. And BTW, most of them are not Muslim.

But that's the rub, Sabrita, the press never calls them "Bosnian" unless they are Muslims. The Christians from Bosnia get called "Bosnian Serbs" or "Bosnian Croats", etc, in spite of the fact that King Tvrtko, whose crest (with the fleur de lis) was the pre-war flag of Bosnia and who basically founded Bosnia, was NOT a Muslim! Tvrtko fought Muslims.
