The ‘kids’ (unaccompanied alien minors?) were from Iraq and Syria. Both received government-supported foster care from a couple known for their welcome to needy ‘kids.’

Of course we have to wonder if they were even kids when they got into the UK, but that’s a story for another day….
***Update***Daniel Greenfield at Frontpage magazine has more details, here.
Here is just one of many accounts today of what is going on with the latest UK Islamic terror investigation.
Two men who are believed to have been fostered by the same couple are being questioned by police over the Parsons Green bombing.
Police investigating the Parsons Green Tube bombing are questioning two suspects after searching three properties over the weekend.
An 18-year-old was arrested at Dover ferry port on Saturday morning and a 21-year-old was arrested at a fried chicken shop in Hounslow, west London, on Saturday night. Neither have been named.
Syrian refugee being questioned. Balding 21-year-old (!) was facebook friends with Penelope.
The younger man is suspected of planting the device, which exploded on a District Line train in London on Friday morning, injuring 30 people.
He and the other man, reported to be from Syria, are being questioned by police on suspicion of offences under the Terrorism Act.
Both men are believed to have spent time in the care of Penelope and Ronald Jones, who received MBEs [Member of the Order of the British Empire—ed] for services to children and families in 2010.
[….]
…. the 18-year-old who has been held is understood to be an Iraqi orphan who had moved to Britain when he was 15.
That is what the Daily Mail is suggesting, here. Ho hum, so what else is new!
But, what is so funny (not the terror attack), but the fact that Trump must have blurted out prematurely that Scotland Yard knew about this creep weeks before.
Video – London Bomb Update – Trump Was Right – 18-Year-Old Refugee Kid Was Known To Police
Then here is just a bit of the news:
The stunning turnaround in the British bombing story. The first tweet that President Trump sent out after being informed of the London bombing hinted that British police knew who did it. Trump received criticism from UK politicians for being ‘unhelpful’. We wonder whether anyone will apologize. It would seem that police and British politicians knew all along.
Trump will make his maiden speech to the UN on Tuesday. I wonder what he will say about Islamic terrorism here and in Europe. And, what will he say about our refugee admissions for the coming fiscal year (while we have so many hurricane homeless citizens)?
As said yesterday, police had arrested an 18-year old in the port city of Dover, suspected of plotting and carrying out the attack on the metro of Parsons Green which wounded over 30 people.
In the afternoon, a house in Surrey was raided. A house where an older couple takes in refugee children.
Ms Penelope Jones, 71 years old, and her husband Ronald, 88 years old, have raised 268 foster children in the house over three decades and the last eight of those have been refugees from countries like Iraq and Afghanistan.
Whilst there has been no official confirmation, the British press has puzzled all the pieces together.
The teen who did it seems to be a ‘problematic foster child’ who was arrested two weeks ago already near where the attack took place.
He was a refugee taken in by a foster family who has taken in many children like him in the past.
Addendum: Did you ever know anyone, maybe in your own family, with that brain/mouth connection? It goes like this: Whatever is most recently in the brain comes out in mouth within moments. Just saying!
So why is that significant? Never in the history of the Refugee Act of 1980 has a CEILING been breached. That happened because the US Supreme Court unconstitutionally changed refugee lawwhen it set exceptions to its concurrence that Trump did have the legal right to cap refugee numbers.
As we wait for the Presidential determination for FY18, I thought you might like to see how many refugees we have as of this morning and where they went. We broke through the 50,000 ceiling in July. 2,282 have been added since.
I’ve told you about David Milibandin many previous posts. He is the former UK Labor Party Foreign Minister (his brother is known in the UK as “red Ed”) who came over to New York to head up the fabulously wealthy International Rescue Committee where he is sucking down a salary of $591,846 annually.
David Miliband: Have I got a cool gig or what? Living in Manhattan, deciding which third world migrants will be seeded into American towns, hobnobbing with Hillary, schmoozing Soros, smacking down Donald Trump, weighing in on British politics and being handsomely compensated by American taxpayers! Wow!
(The IRC is the wealthiest monetarily of nine federal refugee contractors, although we are told that the US Conference of Catholic Bishops handles a higher volume of refugees each year.)
Btw, if you follow Miliband even tangentially you will see he is still busy mucking around in British politics.
Here is some Lefty website called Death and Taxeson British national Miliband and that meany, Donald Trump:
“It’s not an exaggeration to say the very existence of refugee resettlement as a core aspect of the American story, and America’s role as a global leader in this area, is at stake,” David Miliband, president of the International Rescue Committee said.
I’m willing to give up our supposed “global leader” role, aren’t you? (But, wait, didn’t we just hear from Human Rights Watchthat Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon are the global leaders giving protection to refugees?).
Here is erudite reporter Tosten Burks at Death and Taxeson Trump White House aid Stephen Miller (LOL! this was my tip-off about the nature of this ‘magazine’):
During a meeting at the White House on Tuesday, Homeland Security officials proposed a 2018 cap of 40,000, the Times reports. Racist booger Stephen Miller has pushed for an even lower cap of 15,000, sources said. No final decision has been made.
This post is filed in my ‘Laugh of the day’ category, here.
They say their economy will flounder as they are having a hard time attracting American workers and apparently few Americans are willing to move to Minnesota.
At least this is all out in the open now—-immigration is not about humanitarianism and “American values,” but it is about importing laborers (including Somalis) that big companies don’t have to pay very well.
Seems to me that as more immigrants and refugees pour into Minnesota it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as Americans leave the state due to the tension and cultural upheaval evident in Minneapolis, Rochester, St. Cloud and other smaller burgs.
Minnesota’s increasing reliance on immigrants to fuel its work force can be seen at a unique neighborhood bus stop in Minneapolis.
A stream of workers, many of them Somali refugees, boards a private coach that will take them to the Amazon fulfillment center in Shakopee.
Amazon also arranges for the bus to shuttle workers back to their Cedar-Riverside neighborhood.
This scene plays out every day just outside the Shaqodoon job center. Last month, about 20 people a day — including those who speak little English — were being hired on the spot for packaging jobs and other tasks. They’re earning about $15 an hour or more, said Mohamud Noor, who runs the center.
“This is real,” said Noor, director of the Confederation of Somali Community in Minnesota and a candidate for the Minneapolis City Council. “It’s full-time employment with benefits, and it pays well.”
The state’s industry leaders say immigrants are needed to grow Minnesota’s economy and address a labor shortage. But calls for welcoming more immigrants come as the White House and others offer proposals for more restrictive immigrant policies.
[….]
Kevin Paap, president of the Minnesota Farm Bureau, said half of the state’s cows are milked by immigrants, including many who aren’t authorized to be in the United States.
“The consumer will have to recognize that the choice is very simple: You’re going to have to allow us to import our labor in agriculture, or you’re going to have to accept importing our food from other countries,” Paap said. [What a scare tactic—importing food!—ed]
I’m no economist, but there might be some other options: first, stop encouraging every kid to go to college with expectations of a 6-figure salary in a white collar job (and by doing so, keep them away from political indoctrination). And, why not a campaign throughout our school system to enhance the image of those working in blue collar fields (heck, have you tried to get a plumber recently!).
Next, pay wages that Americans will find attractive even if it means higher food prices. The reality is we are supplementing those migrant workers’ wages already through welfare. We pay one way or another!
Slow the flow of immigrants who have no intention of assimilating to Minnesota. Those refugees are causing tension and thus further depleting the available MN work force as Americans escape the state. (Gov. Dayton told native Minnesotans to get out!)
Or, consider this, maybe economies in some locations do not need to keep growing especially if growing means more migrants who need housing, food, schools, roads and Walmarts to accommodate them.
Donald’s test could come today!
You can bet that if Donald Trump comes in with a Fiscal Year 18 determination of more than say 10,000-15,000 truly needy persecuted refugees (announcement today?) then you know Paul Ryan, the Chamber of Commerce and some huge global corporations got to him!
