The controversial and precedent-setting “resettlement” program for “refugees” who arrived as illegal aliens in Malta continued this week according to Alshahid (a Somali publication that is probably blasting this good news all over Africa):
A group of seventeen refugees from Eritrea and Somalia left Malta to begin a new life in the United States, Malta Independent Online reported on Wednesday.
This brings the total number of refugees who have been resettled to the US this month to 37, and the total resettled since the resettlement program began to 340.
At a reception for the refugees hosted by the US Embassy last week, US Ambassador Douglas Kmiec reiterated the US government’s commitment to help ease the burden that migration has placed on Malta.
At least they aren’t calling the “reception for the refugees” a tea party this time!
Then this last is a joke and I hope they didn’t tell the refugees they would be cared for for two years—it is more like 3 or 4 months!
Once they arrive in the US, each refugee will be assigned a sponsor agency that provides initial services such as housing, food, and clothing, as well as referral to medical care, employment services, and other support during a transition period lasting up to two years in order to ensure integration and assimilation.
We’ve been covering the Malta issue for two years. Use our search function for ‘Malta’ and note how the US has been so kind as to take Europe’s illegal aliens to the US in a program that I contend serves as a magnet for more Africans to try to reach Malta.
