Muslim kids of course.
Sheesh, and I thought the burgeoning ‘unaccompanied minors program’ of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (in the US Dept. of Health and Human Services) only took in kids who had come across our borders or had been abandoned by their parents when the family came across the border. Now, we learn we are plucking ‘kids’ (16, 17, 18 year olds?) from camps elsewhere in the world, who supposedly have no parents/no family, and bringing them to the US. And, you are paying for this!
I recently mentioned the astronomical size of this program, here, in my report on the Lancaster meeting, and wondered about the huge number of kids I thought were coming across the borders. Now we know they aren’t just ‘finding their way’ to the US on their own! And, notice the word “orphan” isn’t being used. This is what I learned in Lancaster:
In 2012, 14,700 kids arrived in the US without parents and in 2013 the number is expected to be 20,000.
Thanks to Creeping Sharia for tipping us off about this story at the Muslim Link:
It has been nearly six months since the U.S. Government launched the Action Plan on Children in Adversity at the White House. [here is a link to the Obama Administrations Action Plan—ed]
[….]
The Action Plan represents the first-ever whole-of-government strategic guidance for the U.S. Government’s international assistance for children.
[….]
The Joint Council on International Children’s Services, a Virginia-based NGO has been working for decades on the pillar of advocating for children in family care – especially for those around the globe who may be growing up on the streets or in orphanages or other institutions.
[….]
In the greater Washington DC area, government agencies identify refugee youth overseas (often living in camps outside of their country of origin) who are eligible for resettlement but who do not have a parent or a relative in the US. Due to their age (under 18), these children are placed into the Unaccompanied Refugee Minors program and receive refugee foster care services and benefits. [Ahhhh! What about a parent or relative right there in the camp?—ed]
One of these benefits is placement in a compatible home with matching ethnicity, language, and religion where possible. The placing agencies are always seeking families to volunteer to help these teens by providing a home as they are receiving schooling (which may have been interrupted in their country of origin or while they were living in a camp) and be involved with their case-specific programs with an aim to helping them achieve eventual independence by their early 20s.
So we could see a youth of 17 or 18 (who says he has no parent) plucked from a refugee camp for Syrians brought to the US to be “adopted” by an American Muslim family and then when he turns say 21, he just becomes one more alien on the path to US citizenship who will also be able to bring in his family who will surely be ‘discovered’ at about that time!
And, to top it off, the family who “adopts” the teen gets paid by you—the American taxpayer—to care for the child! Some racket! And, look who is here—LIRS and the USCCB (getting paid to make the arrangements)!
The two leading placement organizations, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services and the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, are especially keen to work with the Muslim community in our area since it is likely they could find matches for many of the children enrolled in the program. Specialized training in helping these children adjust to their new life and situation is a part of becoming involved as is a background check. Financial support for participation is provided. [Yippee! They will get paid for their “charitable” work!—-ed]
I sure hope LIRS and the USCCB are doing some really good screening of American families—sure would hate to hear about a sexual abuse charge or a slavery charge (wasn’t it only a week or so ago a Saudi woman was charged with keeping aliens as slaves?)

Have a look at a recent Form 990 for Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services, page 9. They had income in that year of $31,653,748 and, of that, you, the taxpayers of America, gave them $30,376,568. Their CEO makes $204,186 in salary and benefits. (Doing well, by doing good! Hartke’s bio is here.)
