Will they be the next batch of needy people needing to get to the US through the Refugee Resettlement Program. You watch there will soon be a drumbeat—maybe its already begun! Here is a Nigerian writer, writing in the wake of the Muslim church bombings, to suggest a “refugee crisis” is looming.

Check out WRAPS
Reader ‘Mowplsu’ sent us this link to the Worldwide Refugee Admissions Processing Center where the US State Department tracks refugee movements and arrivals. I keep forgetting about this site, so thanks to ‘Mowplsu’ for bringing it to our attention. The average American citizen can’t see all the statistics kept at WRAPS so I have tended to forget about it.
Where to find information is a category we long-ago created here at RRW. You might want to check it out from time to time, there are all sorts of links to agencies, reports etc. that you might find useful.
