Biden: It is 62,500 Refugees Again, Maybe!

Will your town be targeted?

If you are feeling whiplash over the Biden teams’ Refugee Admission plans, join the crowd.

I don’t have the time or energy to go back over the flip-flop-flipping the White House has been doing over the last few months on the decision to raise, not raise, and now raise the refugee ceiling from the level President Trump had set for Fiscal Year 2021 which ends on September 30, 2021—a mere 5 months away.

The No Borders wing of the Democrat Party went crazy when for a brief few hours on April 16th, Biden said he would leave the refugee ceiling at the Trump-set level. That was Biden’s grievous error! https://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/2021/04/17/biden-harris-make-a-hash-of-refugee-plan-infuriate-their-friends/

But, for new readers here is one recent post about the mess the administration stepped in when they dared to leave the ceiling/cap for refugee admissions for the remainder of the year at the Trump level—15,000.

Looks like the administration, in its latest iteration, has listened to refugee contractor Mark Hetfield who told the Biden team to “set the damn cap.” 

He explained it is a cap and likely won’t be reached, but that Biden/Harris must send their virtue signal around the world!

It was heard loud and clear yesterday by the United Nations which chooses most refugees admitted to the US and applauded the decision.

Somalis who live in one of the world’s largest UN refugee camps—Dadaab in Kenya—will soon be arriving in Anytown, USA. Trump had slowed the movement of certain groups of refugees to America.

Here is what CBS reported on the new Biden plan.

Biden increases refugee cap to 62,500 after backlash

President Biden has increased the refugee admissions cap to 62,500 for the current fiscal year, after keeping the historically low Trump-era cap of 15,000. But Mr. Biden also admitted in a statement on Monday that the administration will not reach that cap this year.

The Biden administration faced intense backlash from liberals, immigration advocacy groups and religious groups alike after announcing last month that they would keep the Trump-era level of 15,000 refugees for the time being, despite an earlier pledge to quadruple admissions of immigrants escaping war and violence. The White House said Monday that they would increase the cap this month.

“Today, I am revising the United States’ annual refugee admissions cap to 62,500 for this fiscal year,” the president said in a statement. “This erases the historically low number set by the previous administration of 15,000, which did not reflect America’s values as a nation that welcomes and supports refugees. The new admissions cap will also reinforce efforts that are already underway to expand the United States’ capacity to admit refugees, so that we can reach the goal of 125,000 refugee admissions that I intend to set for the coming fiscal year.”

We are raising the ceiling just for show and to get the crazed Leftwing Refugee Contractors*** off our backs!

But Mr. Biden also said in his statement that the U.S. will not reach 62,500 admissions and a cap is just that — a ceiling.

“The sad truth is that we will not achieve 62,500 admissions this year,” the president said in his statement. “We are working quickly to undo the damage of the last four years. It will take some time, but that work is already underway.

Have you noticed that not only on the refugee admissions, but with the southern border that they have decided on the perfect propaganda message to cover their screw-ups.  Blame it all on Trump!

Now what?

Based on comments from readers, I see that many of you still don’t know that the invaders at the southern border are not refugees that will arrive under the legal refugee admissions ceiling. Don’t worry too much about that for the moment.

Biden/Harris are out scouting for new locations to place either group of migrants (aka new Democrat voters).

Just know that no one in Washington is going to help you if your town/city/county is going to be a relocation site for legal refugees or illegal aliens.   See my post about Winchester, Virginia

A reader yesterday asked me how she could find out if she lived in a target town?  I have no way of finding out….However!

Pick up the phone!

I told her she must call her local elected officials at the city or county level and ask them if they have been alerted by the federal government or a federal resettlement contractor if they have been targeted.  

Get other like-minded people to do the same, the more the better!  And, if the answer is yes, yours is now a target town, you will have to get to work organizing locally against it.

I know that isn’t what you want to hear, but that frankly is all there is—you making the most political noise you can make against Biden and the Democrats working to change America by changing the people.

For four years, we all sat back and let Trump take care of us.  He did a mostly good job, but here we are—back to square one—local organizing by hard working citizen activists asking local elected officials:

Don’t we have an obligation to care for our own poor and homeless first?

 

***In case you are new to RRW, here are all of the nine contractors that have monopolized all refugee distribution in the US for decades.

They worked to ‘elect’ Biden/Harris and lobby for open borders.  As taxpayers you pay them millions annually to change America by changing the people.

Two of the contractors, the USCCB and Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service are also paid to find locations for the Unaccompanied Alien Children.

Americans Last! is their motto!
