Oh where, oh where have our tax dollars gone?

To projects for immigrants from everywhere! The next time some bleeding heart refugee agency gives us the big sob story about how there isn’t money for proper refugee resettlement, we will harken back to this story from Ft. Wayne, IN. Virtually every news story tells us that, boo hoo, the agencies only get $900 to resettle a refugee but they never tell you about all the other money flowing out of Washington for every aspect of a refugee’s life (and to pay salaries for their caregivers).

As a matter of fact, people ask me all the time what it costs for the refugees and asylees the taxpayers care for, but this (below) is why there is no way of knowing the answer to that question. This is just for one city!

I had meant to sort from the list the programs specific to refugees and other immigrants, but when I looked at it, almost every one of these block grants applies to immigrants!

Nineteen Fort Wayne agencies have received a total of $235,000 in Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) for public services, given to the City of Fort Wayne by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

This year Fort Wayne will receive a total of $2.13 million in all categories of CDBG funding. The city expected a 10 percent to 15 percent reduction in CDBG funding, but Mayor Tom Henry said Tuesday that this year’s overall amount equals last year’s, and it is the first time since 2003 that funding has not dropped from the previous year. [Yippee!]

Public service grant recipients, amounts and programs funded include:

♦African Immigrants Social and Economic Development Agency – $10,000 for job coaching initiative

♦Associated Churches of Fort Wayne – $14,000 for food bank’s 26 member sites.

♦Blue Jacket Inc. – $10,000 for Career Academy for ex-felons transitional and/or permanent employment skills training.

♦Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend – $10,000 for case management and resettlement services to recently resettled refugees.

♦City of Fort Wayne – $17,000 for large trash containers and for hauling away abandoned tires and debris for neighborhood cleanup programs.

♦East Allen County Schools – $10,000 for Neighborhood Action Center at Autumn Woods apartments.

♦Fort Wayne Medical Society Foundation – $10,000 for Fort Wayne Medical Education Program; and $10,000 for healthier Moms and Babies program serving high-risk, low-income pregnant women.

♦Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation Dept. – $7,500 for Jennings Work Study Program providing job skills training for youths.

♦Fort Wayne Urban League – $7,000 for pre-employment skill training for adults to attain economic self-sufficiency; and $7,000 for pre-apprenticeship program for adults seeking construction trades employment.

♦Genesis Outreach – $8,000 for workforce development training center for homeless clients with paid training similar to internships.

♦Mental Health America in Allen County – $9,000 for client advocacy services to access options for care and treatment.

♦Burmese Advocacy Center – $8,000 for employment skills training program for refugees and immigrants.

♦Neighborhood health Clinics – $14,000 for medical and dental services for Burmese refugees living in Fort Wayne.

♦Super Shot Inc. – $9,000 for maintaining 26 free monthly immunization clinics for Allen County children.

♦The Reclamation Project – $10,000 – for English as a New Language (ENL) instruction for refugees.

♦Turnstone Center for Children and Adults with Disabilities – $9,000 for residential ramp building program for low-income residents needing wheelchair-accessible ramps at their homes.

♦United Hispanic Americans Inc. – $9,000 for bilingual employment support services, including computer literacy for job searching and application.

♦United Way of Allen County – $10,000 for the Ready to Learn program in schools serving educational-needy children; and $5,000 for Earned Income Tax Credit education program to low- and moderate-income workers.

♦Wellspring Interfaith Social Services Inc. – $14,000 for the agency’s food bank and personal hygiene needs assistance programs; $9,000 for the summer day camp program for low-income children; and $8,000 for the Wellspring older adult program providing nutrition and social/cognitive activities.

Ft. Wayne is a “welcoming” city and we have written about its refugee population on many occasions, so please just use our search function for related stories.

Multicultural Mecca Maine: The African immigration magnet

07/23/2009 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Update August 6th: The African woman in this story gets off easier, here.

Update August 3rd: New strain of HIV found in woman (in Paris) from Cameroon, here.

What the heck is going on in Maine? Here is yet another story of an African immigrant getting into legal trouble in Maine! (Hat tip: Susan) What! Is the word out on the street and across the whole continent of Africa—go to Maine! Additionally, I found it interesting to note this woman went first to Maryland then Maine, just as the Nigerian woman who bilked the UN did, here.

Check out our recent posts on Lewiston, ME Somali health care fraud, the Nigerian woman in Portland who embezzled UN money (link in previous paragraph), Sudanese riots also in Portland and the Nigerian identity fraud med student scammer. Now we have a woman from Cameroon who is pregnant and has HIV-Aids.

BANGOR — A pregnant, HIV-positive African woman convicted of having false documents will be resentenced on Aug. 5 in U.S. District Court after winning her appeal of a sentence that would have forced her to give birth behind bars.

Quinta Layin Tuleh, 28, of Cameroon has been free on bail since June 15 pending the outcome of her appeal to the U.S. 1st Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston. Tuleh, whose due date is Aug. 29, agreed last month to live in Portland and receive treatment at the Frannie Peabody Center.

Tuleh was released on bail a few days before she was scheduled to be transferred to Carswell Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas, according to the U.S. Marshals Service in Bangor.

U.S. District Judge John Woodcock in May sentenced Tuleh to 236 days in prison — more than twice as long as the recommended sentence of 114 days — for having false Social Security and employment authorization cards. The federal prosecutor and Tuleh’s court-appointed defense attorney both urged the judge to sentence her to time served, or 114 days.

Woodcock said that to ensure Tuleh received proper medical care through the birth of her child and to increase its chances of being born free of the HIV virus, he was sentencing her to federal prison until two weeks past her due date.

Nice of the judge, huh, concerned about the baby’s health. Now she can have her anchor baby. Fat chance she will be deported once the ‘healthy’ baby arrives!

Tuleh still faces deportation because of her conviction. Once she is resentenced, removal proceedings against her are expected to begin.

Now this makes no sense, you can’t just ask for asylum because you were the victim of a crime. If that were the case, everyone in the world could be here tomorrow. This is very confusing—I’d like to know who abused her, was it her US employer, the one who hired her as a nanny? Read carefully, there is something missing in this account.

She is in the process of applying for asylum in the U.S., according to court documents, on the basis that she has been the victim of a crime. She may have suffered abuse while working for her former employer, who has not been named, in Aroostook County, according to an affidavit filed by her immigration attorney with the Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project in Portland.

Tuleh arrived in September 2008 in New York City and lived in Maryland until early January, when she went to Presque Isle to work as a nanny for a family, according to court documents. She was arrested Jan. 21 at the Presque Isle Airport after false documents were discovered in her luggage.

She became pregnant before she came to Maine, according to her previous attorney, but did not confirm the pregnancy until after her arrest. Her HIV status was not known until a few days before her sentencing in May.

Portland Press Herald reader Chris had this to say:

I can’t belive it! We in Maine DESERVE to be in the condition we are in! We voted in a bunch of idiots running our state. WHY wasn’t she just deported before the birth? I’m sick of paying for illegals kids!

And Bangor News SHE ISN”T an immigrant!!! She’s an illegal immigrant! Why drag good immigrants names thru the mud.

You in the useless biased media disgust me….. you’re all jerks! Hows the newspaper business going? What’s the matter can’t you sell enough of your Liberal dribble. Americans are waking up and you all are going down. Let someone unbiased run your rag!!!

Now for this Maryland connection, Cameroon, Cameroon, Cameroon. Oh, yes, where have I heard that before? Maybe, just maybe, this woman got into the US with the help of the now CONVICTED MARYLAND ASYLUM LAWYER FROM CAMAROON, Patrick Tzeuton, here.

Blogger questions Farooq Kathwari’s business ethics

07/23/2009 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Just now I came across this blogger and blog Financial Skeptic writing about Ethan Allen furniture and its CEO Farooq Kathwari. Now, I grant you, I know nothing about financial management, and can’t make any judgement on Kathwari’s action, but it seems this blogger is questioning a recent announcement by Kathwari.

Revenues for Q4 are positioned as pretty good but overall revenues for the year dropped some 31%

Then Farooq Kathwari, Chairman and CEO lets you know that the real earnings results will be coming out Aug 12 which is three weeks in the future. Farooq you need a remedial class in disclosure. Coming out three weeks early and singing sunny sky’s has pretty well signalled to the market what you expect the final results to be. Hopefully now that everyone is warm and fuzzy you will not release a little bit of bad news when the market is no longer looking.

But seriously Farooq there may be a few lawyers who want to talk to you.

Then here is a straight news story about the Ethan Allen announcement.

So why do we care? Farooq Kathwari is the Kashmiri-born Chairman of the Board of Refugees International and it’s always a good idea to follow the activities of those in the refugee industry. Don’t the Democratic Alinskyites call that opposition research? Ha, ha, ha! I just noticed the name of a former director of RI—George Soros! That says it all!

Here is my most recent post on Farooq Kathwari in which investigators Rabinowitz and Mayor say that Kathwari is connected to Islamist groups. In that post I noted that Refugees International was lobbying to help Iraqi Palestinians resettle in the West, but was silent on the much larger number of Christian Iraqis. But, I can happily report that RI is no longer silent on Christian Iraqis, here.

Al-Shabaab throws UN out of Somalia (?), calls US the head of world infidels

07/23/2009 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

I started to write this post yesterday, but had no time to finish it. First I had received the press release purportedly from Al-Shabaab (below) saying the Jihadists had raided and closed United Nations offices and thought the story was new, but it isn’t. It is a couple days old.

I found this Bloomberg article from Monday that reports that the UN is trying to get its “humanitarian” work up and running again. I don’t know if they did or did not, but frankly that isn’t the point I want to make here.

This is the message to all the UN-loving humanitarian do-gooders basking in the warm after-glow of the Obama Cairo speech. Please note that they hate you too! The Islamists who want to bring Shariah law to Somalia and the world don’t give a flying crap (sorry!) how nice you are and that your intentions are good ones. Please go back and listen to the American Al-Shabaab, Al-Amriki, having a good sneer at Obama’s mystical charisma here.

In fact, when the UNHCR bends over backwards to be fair in resettling Muslims to the West (they don’t dare show favoritism to those Christian Iraqi refugees!), the Islamists are laughing their heads off because you (the UN and the leftist refugee industry) are helping them spread their ideology around the world. (Remember Al-Hijra, the Islamic doctrine of immigration).

P.S. Islamic Shariah law also says infidels must be warned in advance of being attacked. NGO’s consider yourself warned.

The press release from Al-Shabaab on Monday.

I’m posting the whole press release as it came across my desk yesterday thanks to Bill. Seems it is true, and it look like it’s from MEMRI here. I’m posting it to demonstrate the love the Islamists have for the UN and all its liberal do-gooders.

New readers, Al-Shabaab is the Jihadist group believed to be recruiting in the US Somali refugee community.

Posted this morning on various jihadist sites:

A press release issued by the Office of Political Affairs and Regional Administrations of the Shabaab al Mujahidiin Movement regarding various non-governmental organizations and foreign committees working in Somalia

1 – We are officially announcing the formation, beginning today, 27 Rajab 1430, corresponding to July 20, 2009, of the Office to Supervise the Affairs of the Foreign Committees. This office will be charged with following the movements of non-governmental organizations and foreign committees operating in the country. Coordination of their operations will be handled through this office, and this office will ensure the content of what they are presenting to the public.

All of the non-governmental organizations and foreign committees are required to immediately contact the Office to Supervise the Affairs of the Foreign Committees in each Islamic state under the control of the Movement where the non-governmental organization of foreign committee wants to work. They will be informed of the conditions and restrictions that are imposed on them to continue their work in the country.

Any non-governmental organization or foreign committee ith proven involvement in conducting projects against Islam and Muslims in Somalia or aimed at disrupting the formation of an Islamic State in the country will have their offices closed immediately and will be subject to the full extent of punishment in accordance with Sharia law.

2 – Beginning from the publishing of this announcement, a number of non-governmental organizations and foreign committees currently operating in Somalia have had their offices completely closed permanently because they are considered to be hostile to Islam and Muslims. They are the following:

the United Nations Development Program

the United Nations Office for Peace and Security

the United Nations Political Office for Somalia

The decision for closure and expulsion has already been made for these committees after a precise examination of their activities and the true motivations behind their presence in Somalia. Their involvement in activities hostile to Islam and Muslims and their attempts to preclude the formation of an Islamic state in parts of Somalia have already been proven. Among the evidence of their hostility towards Islam, is their aid to the apostate government in Somalis and their participation in supplying and training militias to fight the Mujahidiin, in addition to fundraising and lobbying on behalf of the mercenary African forces in Mogadiscu.

It has also been confirmed that they aided remnants of the apostate militia as they regrouped in border areas adjacent to Islamic states with the goal of disrupting security and stability in these states.

Note that previously, all of the offices of the two organizations ‘imc’ and ‘care’ were closed after we stumbled onto evidence that showed their participation in activities hostile to Islam and their involvement in intelligence activities on behalf of the United States of America – the head of world infidels. Some of these activities led to the assassination of Sheikh Abu Muhsin Al Ansari Adam Airo – May Allah have mercy on him.

The Office of Political Affairs and Regional Administrations

This and what comes after are remarks from the publishing of this statement from this office. A battalion of the al-Hesbah Army left the city of Baidooa and went to the offices of the United Nations. All of the funds and equipment and tools there were confiscated. From another side, the al-Hesbah Army in a city located in the state of Bakool did the same thing at the same time and gave the state a mandate for United Nations employees to leave the areas belonging to the Islamic State, and the matter happened as spoken. Praise and thanks and glory be to Allah.

O God, Revealer of the book, Disperser of the clouds, Defeater of the parties, defeat the Crusaders, and their apostate allies!

O God, make them and their equipment easy booty for Muslims!

O God, destroy them and shake them!

O God, You are the one who helps us and the one who assists us, with Your power we move and by Your power we fight!

God is Great!

But honor belongs to Allah, and thus to His Messenger, and to the Believers; but of this the hypocrites are not aware
