They anticipate the immediate arrival of the promised 125,000 refugees to America. But, heck I am thinking that they don’t even need more immigrant voters when they can just make up any needed votes by distributing millions of ballots in key cities!
I’ll report as the refugee contractors come in with expressions of joy over the media’s pronouncement of a Biden/Harris victory.
See yesterday’s post–Over 27,000 from Muslim ban countries in the pipeline for immediate resettlement.
After a tense nationwide wait since Election Day, HIAS congratulates President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
Mark Hetfield CEO of HIAS
“The election of Joseph Biden marks a return to (American) values, an acknowledgement that refugees and immigrants have always been a benefit, not a burden to our great country,” HIAS President and CEO Mark Hetfield said in a special video message.
“HIAS looks forward to building back better the U.S. refugee resettlement program in partnership with the U.S. government, and to restoring America’s rightful place in the world as a leader for people seeking asylum and for human rights,” Hetfield continued, “but we also do need to acknowledge that the closeness of this election and the incredible level of support that both candidates received, demonstrates that America remains a highly polarized and divided country.”
Biden has a proven track record of standing for refugees, Hetfield said in a written statement. As a Senator, Biden co-sponsored The Refugee Act of 1980, which codified the U.S. refugee resettlement program and asylum system.
Biden also has made a number of promises to undo some of the anti-immigration policies of the Trump administration.
“Mr. Biden has pledged to return to normal and resettle 125,000 refugees a year in our country; to end the harmful Remain in Mexico policy that has stranded thousands of people at our Southern border; and to reunite the 545 children still separated from their parents as a result of the current administration’s practice of taking children — including babies and toddlers — from their asylum-seeking parents,” Hetfield said in the statement.
I have ahuge archive on HIAS as they were a leading US taxpayer-funded ‘non-profit’ working tirelessly from before Trump won the White House to defeat him.
With 70 million Americans now on record to oppose Biden/Harris and their plans to open American borders, no doubt HIAS will have a harder time placing refugees in certain US towns and cities (assuming Biden and Harris are actually legally certified).
“Biden could immediately raise the refugee admissions goal for the coming year.”

Salivating right out in the open, the refugee contractors lobbying arm tells Voice of Americain a post election story that Biden will lift Muslim ban and over 27,000 refugees from countries that hate us are actually in a pipeline ready to move to the United States.
US Cuts Refugee Admissions, Creating Doubt for Tens of Thousands of Applicants
After reporting on the historically low number of refugees that the Trump Administration has admitted to the US and the low number set for this fiscal year (FY2021) that began October first, we hear this:
The new ceiling (15,000), down from 18,000 the previous fiscal year and far lower than the 84,000 refugees admitted in 2016, will remain in effect at least until January and possibly beyond, even if there is a transition at the White House. [Keep reading—ed]
Humanitarian organizations told VOA the number of Syrian, Somali and Yemeni refugees already referred for resettlement in the U.S. was almost double the number established by the cap.
More Ilhan Omars coming our way!
As of October 27, nonprofit groups confirmed that 27,023 individuals were in the “pipeline” for resettlement in the United States, pending security checks.
The breakdown among the countries was 12,924 from Somalia, 14,084 from Syria and 15 people from Yemen, according to two humanitarian organizations.
Then this….
The duration of the notice (Fy2021 Presidential determination) could depend on who occupies the White House in January.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden vowed during the campaign to raise the refugee admissions ceiling to 125,000.
Sarah Seniuk, advocacy and communications manager at the Refugee Council USA, said Biden could “immediately raise the refugee admissions goal for the coming year. In preparing to leave office, [President Barack] Obama had set for [fiscal] 2017 at 110,000, and upon his inauguration, [President Donald] Trump lowered the number down to 45,000.”
We reportedway back in June that Biden has promised to raise the refugee admissions ceiling to 125,000 if elected President. That annual number beats anything Obama ever did.
Trump wants to protect the American worker first and foremost!
That is the gist of the news from an Epoch Timespiece published a couple of days ago. (Hat tip: Judy)
Trump to Tighten Immigration, Entry Standards if Reelected, Senior Adviser Says
President Donald Trump’s administration, if he is reelected, will toughen its stance onimmigrationand entry into the United States with the aim of protecting the wages and safety of Americans, a senior adviser to the president told NBC Newsin an interview on Oct. 29.
Stephen Miller, who noted that his remarks were being made only in his capacity as campaign adviser, said Trump’s second-term immigration agenda would involve “raising and enhancing the standard for entry” into the United States and cracking down on illegal immigration, including by tighter restrictions on work visas, stricter visa application screenings, banning “sanctuary cities,” and limiting the number of people granted asylum.
He said the measures would be accomplished through a combination of executive actions and legislation.
“In many cases, fixing these problems and restoring some semblance of sanity to our immigration programs does involve regulatory reform,” Miller said. “Congress has delegated a lot of authority … and that underscores the depth of the choice facing the American people.”
Then I got a chuckle out of this story at the South Seattle Emerald, published yesterday:
It is all about how Stephen Miller is a racist hatemonger. Citing a book published in August entitled, ‘Hatemonger: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and the White Nationalist Agenda’, we learn all about how racists/white nationalists are created.
‘HATEMONGER’ EXAMINES STEPHEN MILLER, THE EXTREMIST AT THE HEART OF TRUMP’S WHITE HOUSE
As the COVID-19 pandemic raged through the world in the spring, Trump’s senior advisor Stephen Miller saw it as a unique opportunity to implement his extreme anti-immigrant policies, according to investigative journalist Jean Guerrero, whose new book,Hatemonger: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and the White Nationalist Agenda, was published in August.
COVID-19 allowed Trump and Miller to fulfill their dream of closing the U.S. Mexico border to asylum seekers; before the pandemic, federal asylum law made this impossible. They could now suspend refugee resettlement and the processing of green cards, slowing legal immigration under the guise of protecting American jobs.
[….]
Drawing on documents and over 150 interviews, Guerrero’s book covers Miller’s upbringing and his rise through right-wing media and into the White House, becoming Trump’s trusted advisor.
Miller hasn’t yet achieved his wish list on immigration policy. But as Guerrero explores in Hatemonger, it aligns alarmingly with that of white nationalists.
Now here is my favorite part:
In high school, Miller was mentored by conservative radio host Larry Elder and right-wing extremist David Horowitz. Drawn into Horowitz’s worldview, Miller “saw this country as a white-forged masterpiece, unfairly demonized by brown hordes,” Guerrero writes.
So we are told that Miller was mentored by a white nationalist named Larry Elder! Did Guerrero think her readers are too dumb and might not have a look at a picture of Elder?
All I can say is the Open Borders Marxists are scared to death! Four more years of Trump and Miller will make their heads explode. Fingers crossed!
