Longtime readers know we have followed this story from our early days of writing this blog in 2007. Illegal aliens (ECONOMIC MIGRANTS!) arriving on the tiny island nation of Malta are transformed into “refugees” and shipped off to your town in the US.
Our US Ambassador to Malta during the Bush years started this precedent-setting scheme in motion. (Here is just one post on Tea Party Molly.) Legitimate refugees are to seek asylum in the first nation in which they arrive. By creating this new model, we have opened the door to other countries asking that they too transit illegal aliens through their countries to the US. Also, note in this story the role the UN is playing. It was only a week or so ago that someone commented here that the US does not do the bidding of the UN. Hmmm!
This is funny, go read this post from January where we learned that the migrant Africans really prefer the more generous welfare states of Europe to the US! Little do the migrants know that there is fierce competition going on in the US to get their bodies to America so that federal contractors will survive financially (and Democrats will get more voters!).
Thanks to reader Charles for the latest pipeline news from Malta. The first story below is from two weeks ago today and I should have posted it then because it ties in very nicely with the US Conference of Catholic Bishops whining about not having enough bodies to resettle for cash from you—the taxpayer. Don’t worry USCCB because the Jesuits in Malta are sending more your way!
From the Times of Malta:
Nine refugees from Eritrea, Somalia and Ethiopia left Malta to begin a new life in the United States in the past week.
The United States has been actively engaged in refugee resettlement from Malta since 2006 and has resettled 654 refugees in this period.
The refugees will be resettled in several different cities across the US.
Ambassador Douglas Kmiec hosted a reception at his residence to welcome the refugees to their new lives in America. He remarked:
“The U.S. Refugee Resettlement programme represents a small contribution by the people of the United States to help alleviate the world’s suffering.
“This programme is a success thanks to the collaboration of the Malta government and the hard work of the staff at the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the International Organisation for Migration and the people of the United States of America.
“It is hard to imagine a responsible programme dealing with migrants without UNHCR, IOM and dedicated non-governmental organisations like the Jesuit Refugee Service and the Emigrants Commission.“
Once they arrive in the US, each refugee will be assigned a sponsor agency that provides initial services such as housing, food, and clothing, as well as referral to medical care, employment services, and other support during a transition period lasting up to two years in order to ensure integration and assimilation.
Readers, this last paragraph is incorrect, the transition period lasts only a few months and then the refugees are basically on their own with food stamps, subsidized apartments and health care (and desperately looking for work!).
Charles has sent us another news item from Malta yesterday! Just a ‘small contribution by the US to alleviate the world’s suffering!’
Another 35 refugees from Eritrea, Somalia and Ethiopia left Malta for the US this week bringing the number of resettled refugees from Malta in the US to 689 since 2006.
The latest group of refugees will be resettled in several different cities across the US.
Chargé d’Affaires Richard M. Mills hosted a reception* for the refugees at the ambassador’s residence in Attard to welcome them to their new lives in America.
He remarked: “The U.S. Refugee Resettlement programme represents a small contribution by the people of the United States to help alleviate the world’s suffering.”
Once they arrive in the US, each refugee will be assigned a sponsor agency that provides initial services such as housing, food, and clothing, as well as referral to medical care, employment services, and other support during a transition period lasting up to two years to ensure integration and assimilation. [Same disinformation as the previous piece—there is no ensuring integration and assimilation!–ed]
* We heard a while back that Republican for Obama, Ambassador Douglas Kmiec, was getting the boot (they say he resigned). So, I am guessing that’s why the send-off party-giver has changed. Here are two views on the controversial Kmiec: no surprise that the Catholic Reporter says he is great, while Swampland had this to say.
Oh, and by the way, Germany will take 150 of Malta’s largely Muslim illegal aliens this summer, here.
