I can’t possibly write an all-encompassing post about all the feedback I’m getting from concerned citizens who are hopping mad that their Republican governor foolishly (and prematurely) jumped on the bandwagon to accept more refugees for their states just so the nine federal contractors*** could get their requests for MONEY into the US State Department ASAP.
Here are the 19 Rs who have thumbed their nose at the President’s effort to rein-in the UN-driven Refugee Admissions Program.
The first wave of governors to pander to the Left are marked in orange, and the second wave is in hot pink.
If your governor hasn’t caved yet, keep up the pressure. Florida, Georgia and Texas are the big targets for Open Borders Inc.
Last night John Binder at Breitbart published a letter from Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson to his legislators who want answers.
Since most of the governors are completely unfamiliar with this 4-decades-old program, we can only assume that someone is feeding them talking points like those in the memo Binder published.
Go here to read it all.
Exclusive: Memo Reveals How GOP Governors are Pitching Refugee Resettlement to Opponents
I want to just focus on a couple of points in the governor’s attempt to explain himself. First this:
Refugees are eligible for 36 months of case management assistance and financial assistance when they first arrive through a combination of federal and private funds, which Canopy manages. They do not receive any other special financial assistance aside from typical public assistance available to other low-income Arkansans (Medicaid, SNAP, TANF etc.). 100% of refugee households have seen reductions or terminations of this public assistance because of income within the first 6 months of arrival in the state.
LOL! They don’t get any public assistance other than Medicaid, SNAP (food stamps), TANF, etc! What is the etc.?
100% have seen reductions in their welfare use? Where is the data governor? Or is the governor just parroting what the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service SUBCONTRACTOR is telling him.
I also want to bring to your attention this section of his talking points memo.
Who will be placed in Arkansas?
African nations and those countries in which the United States has engaged in military actions and cooperating nationals are at risk.
I would be asking the governor which African nations? Somalia? And, then he is lumping the Special Immigrant Visas (mostly from Afghanistan and Iraq, but possibly soon Syria) in with the regular refugees. I told you here that the Trump administration is predicting 10,000 SIVs on top of the 18.000 regular refugees for 2020.
And, get this! According to the Funding Guidance I’ve been yakking about for days, we will be taking another 10,000 SIVs from Iraq and Afghanistan (maybe Syria!) in the 2020 fiscal year. That is over and above the 18,000 ceiling that the President determined for the year.
The FY 2020 ceiling for refugee admissions established by the President, after consultation with Congress, is 18,000. In addition, applicants should include 10,000 Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) recipients in their planning. Applicants should assume similar admissions and recipient numbers for performance periods beyond FY 2020.
Note that last bit—the contractors should expect similar numbers beyond 2020.
One more thing, don’t miss LIRS getting direct payola from Tyson Foods!
Starting later today (I hope), I’m starting a new series of posts I’ll call ‘Knowledge is Power’ to go back for many new readers and help you get up to speed on how the UN/US Refugee Admissions Program operates and how you can find out more about your state’s involvement (or lack of involvement) with the program.
***For new readers these (below) are the nine federally-funded refugee contractors that operate as a huge conveyor belt monopolizing all refugee placement in America.
And, they do not limit their advocacy toward only legal immigration programs, but are heavily involved in supporting the lawlessness at our borders.
The question isn’t as much about refugees per se, but about who is running federal immigration policy now and into the future?
(I plan to say this once a day from now on!)
I continue to argue that these nine contractors are the heart of America’s Open Borders movement and thus there can never be long-lasting reform of US immigration policy when these nine un-elected phony non-profits are paid by the taxpayers to work as community organizers pushing an open borders agenda.

Start with Health Care. Many of them come with children, aren’t independently wealthy, and have medical conditions.
Do they pay “out of pocket” – or maybe the question is out of whose pocket – for their exams, treatment, etc.
Even if they are employed, the places they are employed at usually don’t provide very good plans.
Do they cover XDR Terburculosis?
Of course if they go to the ER, they will be treated, at least until the Hospital closes due to bankruptcy.
The USA takes in millions from Mexico, Central, and South America. We should not be required to take in those from Africa who will not assimilate into our society. We do not make Europe or the rest of the World take refugees from Mexico, Central, and South America.
The only reason to do this instead of respecting the sovereignty and the will of American citizens – using our own money to destroy our nation and culture – is because you hate our way if life and want it destroyed.
Well, we hate you back. That is OUR MONEY. We are a Christian nation, majority white and peaceful, hard working people. You are importing ignorance, filth, laziness, foreign religion directly adverse to our way if life and our culture if self reliance. WHY? Because they hate us
Be sure to tell your elected officials how you feel, even if they ignore you. They need to know!
We have enough refugees to last a lifetime! Governors are elected to govern there states, not add more for the people to contend with! Citizens come first!!!!
