We told you in two posts last week (here and here) that Nashville, TN would soon have more refugees in a city already experiencing severe problems with the ‘joys’ of multicultural immigration.
National expert on Refugee Resettlement, Don Barnett, himself a resident of Tennessee, weighed in yesterday in the Tennessean on this latest inititative in an opinion piece entitled, “Refugee resettlement making someone rich.”
After citing facts about refugee resettlement and the amount of welfare useage among refugees, he says what we have said here too, that non-profit church groups collecting taxpayer funds are driving refugee resettlement.
This program would end tomorrow if the refugee resettlement agencies such as Catholic Charities were required to use their own resources to keep it going. At one time refugee resettlement was the work of organizations practicing true sacrificial charity. Unfortunately, the resettlement agencies have morphed into profit-driven federal contractors.

Naturally, they and their parent organizations have a huge incentive to advocate for resettlement to the U.S. as a solution to the world’s refugee problem.
Mr. Barnett has been researching and writing on this topic for nearly two decades.
