Since we have so many new readers of late, I’m going to direct you to a post I wrote last September about the Obama Administration aiming to resettle this year (!) the highest number of refugees in the US since 9/11, here.
There is no sign of a slow-down in poverty importation and that’s why we are having one story after another of refugees suffering, some wanting to go home, in Bowling Green, KY, Greensboro, NC, Sacramento, CA, Pittsburgh, PA and Houston, TX to name just a few resettlement cities with problems.
Could this be the Cloward-Piven strategy at work? Except for a complete and utter disregard for the wishes of most American citizens (which seems to be a hallmark of this Administration), this is the only thing that makes any sense for why we shouldn’t have a moratorium (or at least a reduction in numbers) on resettlement until we get our economic house in order.
