That’s the gist of a letter writing campaign initiated recently by the International Rescue Committee. It confirms just what we have been saying all along. The only reform the volag government contractors want to see for the deeply troubled Refugee Resettlement Program is more taxpayer funding for them while keeping the refugee spigot wide open (nevermind that there are no jobs!).
Thanks to a regular visitor to RRW, here is what they are asking refugee industry advocates to say to Obama:
We urge you to renew America’s promise to refugees who are waiting to find safety and freedom in our country. We call on you to take the following steps to modernize the U.S. government’s system for refugee admission and resettlement:
– Provide increased funding to ensure the U.S. refugee admissions and resettlement programs are able to fulfill their goals for providing sanctuary to refugees who need protection.
– Streamline the current system for identifying, clearing and resettling refugees in the United States.
