Yesterday’s post about the “Bulge” led me to the numbers of refugees resettled in the US this year so far. Earlier we had learned that the Department of State Refugee Processing Center keeps statistics that are available to the public.
You can see what states received refugees and how many at the following link for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2006 up until July 3, 2007. Check out your state here: http://www.wrapsnet.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=j1Ea6tx59%2bU%3d&tabid=211&mid=648
If you are interested in seeing from what regions of the world the refugees originated, go here: http://www.wrapsnet.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=DdzgYC9sMbM%3d&tabid=211&mid=627
Look for more information soon on a project we will need your help with.
Refugee Resettlement Watch will do more than watch. As we get up and running, we will be your community organizing center. We want you to start taking action to help direct the future of your community.
