The American Refugee Resettlement Scam
President
Obama and his rancid leftist allies have subjected America to a
blizzard of lies. Nothing that leaves his mouth even remotely parrots
the truth, but typically stands truth on its head. The propaganda
infrastructure spanning media, Hollywood, non-profit institutions and
the halls of academia then erects a virtually impenetrable wall of
disinformation to advance the lie.
They
have just foisted on us a “deal” with Iran that threatens to
create a holocaust, the likes of which America, and perhaps the
world, has never seen. As Iran chanted “death to America” and
“death to Israel,” this “deal” somehow skirted the advice and
consent role reserved to the U.S. Senate. While we are afflicted with
many feckless, incompetent and corrupt Republican Senators -- never
mind the Democrats -- the “deal” could have never obtained the
requisite approval of 2/3ds of senators. The lies about the “deal”
are too numerous to catalog, and before the ink has even dried, Iran
has suddenly “discovered” massive stockpiles of uranium it never
knew it had!
Now
the administration wants to use the refugee resettlement program to
import a flood of Syrian immigrants into the U.S. It will virtually
guarantee an opening for ISIS and other terrorists to establish bases
in the U.S. legally with taxpayer dollars. Obama created his own 9-11
in Benghazi. Apparently that wasn’t enough. Now he wants one here.
The
flood of Syrian “refugees” into Europe has been called an
invasion. That is clearly an apt description. While there are
certainly heart-rending stories, many coming to Europe are
opportunists. 72 percent are men -- mostly of military age. Only 15
percent are children and 13 percent women, according to the U.N. Many
are not destitute, paying thousands of dollars and embarking on long,
expensive trips to reach Europe. Furthermore, half are not even
Syrians but
come
from Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries throughout the Middle East
and North Africa. Some of the crowds have shown themselves to be
vile, vicious and ungrateful.
German
Chancellor Angela Merkel opened her arms to these “migrants,”
agreeing to take hundreds of thousands, but the German people are
outraged. Why would Merkel do this to her own country? Is it that
Merkel’s shady work for the East German Communist Party never
stopped? Is Merkel assisting the Russians in their ambition to take
over Europe? A biography written by two German journalists argues she
has never abandoned the communism of her youth. This may explain her
attitude toward the refugees now threatening to collapse the country.
Obama
and the Left want the same thing here. Approximately 1,500 Syrians
gained access to the U.S. this fiscal year. Obama intends to allow at
least 10,000 more in FY 2016 -- which starts October 1. Rep. Michael
McCaul (R-TX), chair of the House Homeland Security Committee stated
in an interview Thursday that Syrian refugees cannot be vetted for
jihadist connections. “(I)t would be highly irresponsible to start
bringing them in, when they could be potential terrorists, and
provide a sort of a jihadist pipeline into the United States,” he
said, adding, “We did this in Iraq when we had very good
intelligence, and we brought in several that had already killed
Americans.” McCaul joins the director of the FBI and even Obama’s
Director of national intelligence James Clapper, who have both issued
similar warnings.
In
its recruitment documents, ISIS claims to seek “the end of the
world.” ISIS has claimed 4,000 jihadis are already in Europe and it
plans to similarly exploit weaknesses in the U.S. refugee program. On
Sunday, an ISIS terrorist was arrested in Germany posing as a
refugee. German customs has also seized 10,000 passports being
smuggled into Germany, for possible use by terrorists in country.
Finally, Merkel appears to have had a change of heart. Sunday
afternoon Germany shut down the border, “for urgent security
reasons.” All trains from Austria have been stopped.
In
light of these hard facts, the Obama administration’s plan to bring
in 10,000 Syrians is insane. But 10,000 is just the tip of the
iceberg. In August, the administration said it would take between
5,000 and 8,000. U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, Brent McGurk said that
17,000 Syrians had applied with the U.N. for refugee status in the
U.S. (Note: by law, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)
chooses virtually all of America’s refugees). At the same time,
the Obama administration signaled it may use an alternative “parole”
procedure to grant entry to even more Syrians. Already, about 5,000
Syrians now in the U.S. have applied for “Temporary Protected
Status,” a program for illegals fleeing war or natural disasters.
Most TPS illegals simply reapply when the status expires -- de facto
amnesty.
Back
in June, 14 Democratic U.S. senators called for America to accept
65,000 Syrian refugees. They quickly earned the nickname “Jihad
Caucus.” The UNHCR had called on Western nations to take 130,000
Syrians, and since the U.S. resettles half of all refugees
recommended by the U.N. (yes we do -- more than all other
resettlement countries combined), our magic number should be 65,000.
But
it wasn’t even the senators who actually fronted that number. It
originated with the Refugee Council USA, the lobbying arm of the
out-of-control, serially corrupt U.S. refugee resettlement industry.
And yes it is an industry. There are nine so-called “voluntary
agencies” (VOLAGs) that contract with the federal government to
resettle refugees. While they are classified as tax-exempt
non-profits, this is a massive profit center -- earning them close to
$1 billion in 2014. That comes out to almost $8,000 per-head. And
since the current annual refugee cap is 70,000, double the refugees,
double the income -- it’s simple math.
But
the insanity does not stop there. The VOLAGs have screamed for many
more. The Lutheran Immigrant Aid Society, which earns 97 percent of
its income from taxpayers, has demanded the U.S. import 100,000
Syrians, and raise the overall refugee cap from its current 70,000 to
200,000. Cha ching!
But
they were not even the first. Inexplicably, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid
Society has suggested we may need to resettle 200,000 Syrians.
Initially founded to resettle Jewish refugees, HIAS is now one of the
largest Muslim resettlement agencies. Blatantly disregarding the
safety of its fellow Jews and its own heritage, HIAS conveniently
overlooks the fact that despite their refugee status, Syrians are not
desperate enough to forget Israel, still calling it their number one
enemy.
So
not surprisingly, the VOLAGs are outraged that the administration is
saying “only” 10,000 Syrians. Democratic legislators have carried
the VOLAGs’ water, chiming in that 10,000 are “not enough.” The
Pope, who has already shown his Marxist colors, is trying to convince
Catholics to join the call for more. Now the entire radical leftist
infrastructure has jumped on board. Moveon.org is demanding 100,000
Syrians, and a new, particularly evil organization called We Welcome
Refugees appealed to churches to raise the issue with their
congregations on Sunday, September 13. They provide sample scripts,
videos and other information churches could use.
We
Welcome Refugees is a project of World Relief, one of the VOLAGs. WR
received $41.2 million in government grants in 2014, 75 percent of
total revenues. Your tax dollars are being spent to lobby churches so
World Relief can make more money. Is this not criminal activity? It
is certainly illegal for World Relief to do so. Has the IRS
investigated this “non-profit?” Will it ever?
All
the outrage ginned up in this massive PR campaign is clearly
tactical. Expect the Obama administration to “give in” and up the
numbers dramatically. In FY 2015, 97 percent of Syrian refugees
resettled in the U.S. were Muslim. Ask the VOLAGs how many Syrian
Christians they intend to resettle. They cannot answer. Do you know
why? Resettlement agencies are not allowed to ask! If they claim to
seek Christian converts they lie. VOLAGs are prohibited from
proselytizing.
None
of the Gulf States are taking any refugees, despite the fact that
they share a culture, religion and language with the Syrians, and
have money to burn. China, Russia and all the countries of the former
East Bloc, have refused to take any as well. Why should America take
them? Under President Obama, do we not have enough problems of our
own?
It
is high time for Congress to call out the administration on the
destructive, out-of-control refugee resettlement program. We have
initiated a petition to demand changes. Please sign it. Congressman
Brian Babin has proposed legislation (HR 3314) suspending the
program. It needs companion legislation in the Senate and more
Congressional support.
Now
we need congressional hearings to reveal the refugee resettlement
agenda for what it is. It has been flying under the radar for decades
while our local communities are being transformed into unrecognizable
third-world camps, where refugees overwhelm local governments with
demands for social services while they join illegal immigrants in
stealing our jobs. Call on your legislators stop the Syrian invasion
and demand hearings!
Obama
is the personification of the American radical Left -- a force of
pure, malevolent evil intent on destroying our country. He is the
Cloward Piven president. Refugee resettlement as currently structured
is Cloward Piven on steroids. It is literally an agenda to erase
America.
