Why are we importing Uzbeks in the first place?

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Here is a news account from a supposedly independent news outlet in Uzbekistan (UzNews) that suggests that the government of Uzbekistan (a Muslim government) has ‘set-up’ Uzbeks in the West as terrorists so they might clamp down on their own radical Islamists at home—huh?

Frankly, I don’t know what the reporter is getting at, I just want to know why we are resettling these troublesome people in the first place.   Why is the US State Department and maybe the CIA so hot to help these Uzbeks? We even airlifted some here (some against their will) because we were so eager to get them on our soil.

Fazliddin Kurbanov your friendly Uzbek “refugee” next door!

Just ten days ago we caught one relatively new Uzbek refugee in Idaho with bomb-making equipment.  Then, as UzNews tells us and we reported, another Uzbek threatened to assassinate Obama.  But, we didn’t know about the 2011 threats to Senator Joe Lieberman from an Uzbek in Philly, nor about the Uzbek “refugee” in Norway.

However, I’m wondering why our scribe at UzNews forgot to mention the Uzbek terror suspect arrested in Colorado back in January 2012, here.  The Denver Post intoned at the time in its coverage of the case against Jamshid Muhtorov who was arrested on his way to TURKEY:

It’s a complicated case that raises questions about the fine line between freedom fighter and terrorist.

Here is some of the UzNews story:

Today, Uzbek citizen Fazliddin Kurbanov will face a trial on charges of terrorism in Utah.

At a pre-trial hearing in Idaho Kurbanov pleaded not guilty. Human rights activist Surat Ikramov doubts his commitment to terrorist ideals.

Kurbanov was arrested on 15 May in Boise, Idaho. U.S. authorities have charged him with the illegal possession of an explosive device, conspiracy to support a terrorist organization, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, and the dissemination of information on bomb-making and weapons of mass destruction.

Before this incident, three other Uzbek citizens have been charged by authorities in Western countries with terrorism or attempting to kill high-ranking officials.

This shameful sequence of events started with Ulugbek Kodirov who was in the USA on an expired student visa. He was arrested in Leeds, Alabama, on 13 July 2011, in a sting operation when he attempted to purchase an M15 assault rifle from an FBI agent masquerading as a gun dealer.

He was charged with staying in the USA illegally and the illegal possession of firearms and grenades and repeated threats to kill President Barack Obama.

How many readers here remember this next incident?  The Uzbek threatened to shoot the Jew—Senator Joe Lieberman—in the face.   I had to search around for news about the case, and here is report at American Thinker in which the author says the whole thing was soft-peddled and largely kept out of the mainstream media.

Uznews continues:

The next incident involved Dmitriy Dyatlov who was arrested in Philadelphia in August 2011. He attracted the attention of security services by threatening to kill Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman.

Norway too!

Approximately six months later an Uzbek refugee, former police officer Alisher Abdullayev, was sentenced in Oslo. He and two accomplices were accused of having links to a terrorist organisation and preparing terrorist attacks.

Then here we have a “human rights activist” saying the poor fellows were set up!  I think these “human rights activists” are fronting for something! What?

Well-known Tashkent-based human rights activist Surat Ikramov, the leader of the Initiative Group of Independent Human Rights Activists of Uzbekistan, believes that Kurbanov and Kodirov can only be called terrorists with some difficulty.

Read the whole thing and see if you can make ‘heads or tails’ of it.

And speaking of Norway and its open door policy to Muslim immigration, Daniel Greenfield writing at Frontpage magazine told us on Friday that NORWAY LOSES $713,000 ON EVERY MUSLIM IMMIGRANT IT ALLOWS IN!  I’m guessing their terrorist Uzbek will cost them much more than that in the end.

Muslim immigration fraud: Let me count the ways!

Update May 30th:  The Blaze has much more on this case, thanks to Vlad Tepes blog (via twitter) for alerting us.

Although this story isn’t about political refugee fraud as we recently witnessed in the Boston Bomber case, it’s about an alleged Lebanese terrorist getting into the US by marrying an American.

Remember last week I told you that the legal Muslim population of the US is growing by 100,000 a year mostly through the refugee program, grants of asylum, family reunification and the diversity visa lottery, but there are other ways as demonstrated by this alleged member of Hezbollah caught in Texas.

Here is the story from My San Antonio thanks to Joanne:

The FBI has arrested a San Antonio man on charges he lied to get into the United States and tried to get a sensitive Defense Department position.

Wissam Allouche, 44, appeared for an initial hearing Friday afternoon, and shook his head when U.S. Magistrate Judge Henry Bemporad read the charges leveled in a federal indictment. The judge ordered him held pending a bail hearing and his arraignment Tuesday.

“He allegedly tried to cover up his affiliation with Hezbollah,” said special agent Erik Vasys, spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio. “It is believed he was looking to secure a sensitive position with the U.S. government at some point.”

The indictment said Allouche had married a U.S. citizen and was going through the naturalization process. During that process, he reportedly lied when asked if he’d ever been a member of or associated with a terror organization, the indictment said.

There is more.  Read it all!  I looked for a photo of Allouche but couldn’t find one, if you see one send it my way.  Lacking the photo, I’ve illustrated this post with Hezbollah’s flag. The logo reads:  “Then surely the party of Allah are they that shall be triumphant.”

Since we are on the subject of Texas, the other day one of my alerts sent me to this very helpful write-up for an immigration lawfirm in the Lone Star State.  They have three offices scattered around the state with lawyers ready and eager to guide clients through the refugee/asylum process.  Actually their write-up is a pretty useful one for us as it summarizes what one must do to be considered a refugee or to be granted asylum.  I’ll bet those lawyers have their ears to the grapevine about border apprehensions and are right there to offer their services.

Amnesty International: Migrants are getting shafted around the world

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Funny, isn’t it that many of the countries cited by the London-based Amnesty International in a recent report (that you have to purchase to read) are Muslim countries.  Weren’t we told back in 2009, here, that Muslim charity toward the stranger is the root of refugee law to protect the migrants of the world today?  So how come some Muslim countries are listed among those treating migrants like dirt?

Here is the article, but I really would have liked to see the report.  I don’t see any mention here of how horribly Saudi Arabia treats asylum seekers.  I think groups like Amnesty are too chicken to take on the Saudis.  Or, there is a possibility that the Global Post when publishing this story left out Saudi Arabia because they fear the Saudis.

And, sheesh, why isn’t South Africa mentioned—the ‘rainbow nation’ is giving asylum seekers a hell of a time!

The countries mentioned for their maltreatment of refugees/migrant workers are:   Hong Kong, Jordan, Lebanon, Kuwait, Greece, Italy, Northern African governments especially Egypt and Libya.  Also, Sudan, Gabon, the Bahamas, and Ukraine.

Whatever the Bahamas are doing it can’t compare to Saudi Arabia!  But, then Amnesty has no fear of any Bahamian arriving in London to chop off some Amnesty worker’s head.

Australians lamenting the high cost of educating asylum seekers’ children

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

I have a pile of stories I want to post, just the run of the mill news about refugee problems around the world—you know the boring stuff.  I look on those stories now as a refreshing vacation of sorts from the daily diet of refugee/immigrant terrorist stories of late.   Here is one in my stack.

Children of the ever-growing tide of boat people arriving in Australia will cost the taxpayers $55 million over four years, here at the Herald Sun.

The Aussies say more kids are on board these boats, but from what I’ve seen most asylum seekers are young virile Muslim men.

But before I give you some of the story, something just occurred to me—at least in Australia they are having discussions on this topic. That’s just how it is in Canada too where it seems there is a daily dose of political back and forth IN THE MEDIA on the details of the problems and costs  those country’s face with their ever-expanding refugee and asylum systems.

In the US we aren’t even having a public discussion on the topic! 

When is the last time you saw an article in a major national publication outlining the cost of educating asylum-seeking children? 

How many of you even have a rough idea of how many asylum seekers are granted asylum (like the Tsarnaevs) in the US each year?

I follow the press from Canada and Australia and can assure you these discussions are happening at least weekly if not more frequently.  Here in the US the media must have decided such topics are verboten! Verboten!  Verboten!

Back to the news from Australia:

EDUCATING asylum seeker children will cost more than $55 million over four years amid a record number of minors arriving on boats.

The Opposition has accused the government of cutting university funding while spending millions on meeting the educational needs of asylum seeker children with more than 3000 arriving so far this financial year.

How refreshing is this—they even have an opposition immigration leader!

Opposition Immigration spokesman Scott Morrison said the the costs of educating children had to be met but he blamed the bill on a blow out in boat arrivals.

“While Julia Gillard is actually cutting funding to schools and universities, she is providing an education revolution for asylum seekers arriving on illegal boats,” he said.

“Labor’s budget blowout on asylum seekers of more than $10 billion, includes the federal government paying for the full education costs of students who have arrived by boat.

“Given the record number of children coming on boats, it is not surprising that these costs are so high.”

[….]

Meanwhile, the government revealed the arrival of two new asylum boats carrying 150 people yesterday.

More than 2300 people have arrived so far this month.

Here are some statistics for US asylum seekers granted asylum in 2011.

Of all the individuals granted asylum in 2011, 54 percent (13,484) were granted asylum affirmatively, while 46 percent (11,504) were granted asylum defensively.

An additional 9,550 individuals outside of the United States were approved for asylum status as immediate family members of principal applicants. [The Tsarnaev boys would have been in that number, whatever it was back in about 2002—ed]

So that amounts to close to 35,000 in one year.  Gee, wonder what that costs us to educate the kids?  And, those are just the ones granted asylum, what about those who are still in the pipeline waiting for approval or who have never identified themselves or been caught yet.

By the way ‘granted asylum affirmatively’ means they got here and asked for asylum, and ‘defensively’ means they got here illegally, got caught and are in removal proceedings and asking for asylum.

Update for comparison:  News from burning Stockholm reports that Sweden approved 44,000 asylum seekers in 2012!  Most are from Muslim countries. Yikes, no wonder they are suffering!   Imagine what those kids are costing the welfare nation.

In 2012 alone, Sweden accepted 44,000 asylum seekers, up by nearly 50 percent from a year earlier.

Steve Sailer is all over the Chechen ‘refugee’ fraudsters

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Steve Sailer writes at VDARE and elsewhere, including at his own blog iSteve.

From day one, when we first became aware of the fact that Chechen asylees were responsible for the first successful major Islamic terror attack on American soil since 9/11, Sailer has been on the story.

Chicks digged those Chechens. Go figure!

Here is a post from yesterday (hat tip Fjordman via Twitter) where Sailer pulls together the sorry tale of the lives (and deaths) of the  Tsarnaev-Todashev mixed martial artists—their lying to get into the US and their Muslim misogynist attitudes about women.  I think you will find it as informative (and amusing) as I do.

Tsarnaev-Todashev story has immigration fraud written all over it

Some excerpts here to encourage you to read the whole thing!

Sailer:

From the Boston Globe:

In 2008, the US government granted Todashev asylum, a protection granted to foreigners with a credible fear for their safety in their homelands ­because of religious, political, or other specific forms of persecution.

But Reuters reports that Todashev’s father is a government official in Grozny whose father is in tight with the All-Time Champ Chechen Ramzan Kadryov.

[….]

We hear a lot these days about immigrants’ “American Dream,” but the Chechen Dream appears to be to have some babe support you. Do you think these guys were big hip-hop fans back in the old country?

[….]

Why is it okay for various violent Chechens to just up and move to my country because they think it’s a better place to practice hurting people?

Good question!  Read it all, there are lots of still unexplained twists and turns in this story.
