Thread: Refugee contractors putting the squeeze on Potus, you need to squeeze back

Refugee contractors putting the squeeze on Potus, you need to squeeze back

Protesters eager for more refugees demonstrate against President Trump.

I know, I know, you are probably getting sick of hearing from me on the issue of the upcoming Presidential Determination on the number of refugees to be admitted to the US in Fiscal Year 2019 which begins on October first—less than 2 months from now.



But, I must keep talking about it because the Open Borders Left and especially the nine federal refugee resettlement contractors are lobbying day and night to pressure the Prez into going back to the levels they enjoyed during the Obama presidency.



They are in desperation mode!



In fact, if the levels don’t pick up for some of the nine contractors*** one or more could go belly-up financially in the coming year since they receive much of their federal boodle on a per refugee head basis.


Reader Joanne sent us this appeal from the International Institute of New England and I’m posting it here as a screenshot so you know what they are telling their groupies to do. The International Institute is a subcontractor of the US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (the same contractor I mentioned in my post from Bowling Green, KY the other day).


You need to take a few minutes and tell your elected officials what you believe should be done right now.


I’m not giving you a script as they do because any Congressional staff worth its salt will recognize an astro-turf campaign. They obviously don’t think their people are smart enough to write a few sentences on their own.


Tell your elected officials what you think (and the President too) in polite terms. In fact if you see them in person during the August recess, tell them in person!


I like the idea of putting the whole program on hold (there is NO legal requirement to take a single refugee) until Congress gets off the dime and reforms the entire US Refugee Admissions Program which includes getting the UN out of our refugee-selecting business! But, please tell them what you think in your own words!


Here is what the contractors are telling their followers to do:







By the way, the cap is not a goal, it is merely a ceiling the administration can’t go over without consulting Congress, but the contractors want you to think it is a “goal.”


I know you probably think it’s a waste of time to tell members of Congress what you think, but please take a few minutes otherwise they will say they never heard a word from anyone looking to reduce numbers or reform the program.



And, of course, and more importantly, be sure to tell the President what you think he should do.

White House contact information is in the right hand column here at RRW.



*** These (below) are the nine federal resettlement contractors which are largely paid for their ‘humanitarian’ work by you, the US taxpayer.



As the numbers of incoming refugees decline so too does their income (they are paid by the refugee head!). A continued reduction in the number of incoming refugees could cause one or more of these supposed non-profits to go under due to poor budgetary management—they never planned for a rainy day when federal bucks might dry up!



Another low year, perhaps lower than this year’s 20,000 plus year, could completely blow to smithereens the budget of one or more of these federal contractors which are demanding a cap of 75,000.



The number in parenthesis is the percentage of their income paid by you (the taxpayer) to place the refugees into your towns and cities and get them signed up for their services (aka welfare)!


From most recent accounting, here.

• Church World Service (CWS) (71%)
• Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC) (secular)(93%)
• Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM) (99.5%)
• Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) (57%)
• International Rescue Committee (IRC) (secular) (66.5%)
• US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) (secular) (98%)
• Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services (LIRS) (97%)
• United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) (97%)
• World Relief Corporation (WR) (72.8%)

Bowling Green, KY not getting enough Muslim refugees says refugee contractor

Posted by Ann Corcoran on August 4, 2018
I’ve already posted a bunch of stories similar to this one from several different cities in what is an obvious media campaign to blast the President as he approaches his deadline to say how many refugees the US will ‘welcome’ in FY19.


I don’t intend to publish them all because it gets boring, but will note interesting points when I see them.

Iraqi refugees convicted on terror charges were arrested in Bowling Green, KY, but you never see that mentioned anymore. https://abcnews.go.com/WNT/video/exc...tucky-20958004

We have written a lot on Bowling Green, KY over the years.


It is Senator Rand Paul’s home town. In 2011, two Iraqi Muslim refugees were arrested there and ultimately found guilty of attempting to help a terrorist group in Iraq. The arrest resulted in the US State Department temporarily halting resettlement from Iraq and rescreening thousands of potential refugees.


At that point, Senator Paul came out strongly against the program, but his criticism vanished when he ran for President in 2016.



Prior to the Islamic terror arrests, we had already written many posts on how resettlement contractors were not taking adequate care of refugees they had placed there (many work in the local slaughterhouse industry, btw.)


So you might want to go here to learn more about the often troubled resettlement program in Bowling Green.


Here is the latest from WKU (an NPR station!). NPR seems to be taking the lead in the orchestrated media campaign in support of the federally-funded refugee contracting agencies***.



“It Hurts My Heart”: Muslim Refugee Resettlement in Bowling Green Virtually Eliminated


Tougher federal guidelines on refugee resettlement are having a big impact on a southern Kentucky agency.


The Trump administration has cut the overall number of refugees allowed into the U.S., and has added increased layers of security that have drastically cut the number of refugees from majority-Muslim countries. The advocacy group Human Rights First says there’s been a 90 percent decline in the number of refugee Muslim admissions in the U.S. compared to the 2017 federal fiscal year.


Listen Listening…3:54 Albert Mbanfu discussed the impact federal refugee resettlement policy is having on his agency’s efforts to bring refugees to Bowling Green.

Albert Mbanfu laments the fact that only one Muslim refugee has arrived in Bowling Green this fiscal year.

Albert Mbanfu, executive director of the Bowling Green-based International Center of Kentucky, said the Trump administration policy has virtually ended resettlement of Muslims in Bowling Green since the start of the federal fiscal year last October.


“They’re not coming in,” the native of Cameroon said. “We’ve not received any refugee from any Muslim countries since the beginning of this fiscal year. In fact, we received one Somali kid, and it’s because that’s a kid, and the child took refuge in a country that was not a Muslim country.”


Before the new federal policies, the International Center of Kentucky helped resettle refugees from countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan [and Somalia—ed].


Mbanfu says his agency is now focusing on resettling refugees from a small number of countries, mostly in parts of Africa and Asia.


“Most of them are coming in from Congo, Rwanda, Burma, Bhutan, and a few who are trickling in from Ethiopia.”
None of those countries are Muslim-majority countries. Mbanfu said most of the refugees settled by his agency so far this federal fiscal year have been Christians.

*** These are the nine federally-funded refugee contractors you pay with your tax dollars. The International Center of Kentucky is a subcontractor of USCRI below.


Since USCRI is approximately 98% funded by the federal government, you can imagine that they must be pretty nervous about more cuts in the refugee program where the agencies receive funding from the US Treasury on a refugee per head basis.


Another low year, perhaps lower than this year’s 20,000 plus year, could completely blow to smithereens the budget of one or more of these federal contractors which are demanding a cap of 75,000.
