I’m so sick of hearing that as the population ages we have to tolerate more and more immigration from the third world. Heck, that thinking is what is destroying Europe. And, I am sick of us being on the defense.
How about a national campaign to encourage young American couples to have more babies! Why not!
If you are my age, you know we college students were beaten over the head with the idea that we dare not over-populate the earth and we dutifully (many of us!) did what we were told, all the while, the whole system was geared for people with lower educations to have MORE babies (encouraged by the welfare system).
Let’s stop the madness. How about rewards for the well-educated to have large families! (Oh, I can hear the screaming and gnashing of teeth from the Left now!).
Maybe there is some (brave!) private foundation out there willing to promote such a campaign!

Letters to the editor on Syrian 'refugees!' An example of what you can do!
We just mentioned a letter to the editor in Syracuse, NY that has stirred debate there about the mayor’s plea for the resettlement of more Syrian (mostly Muslim) refugees for that city.
Now, here (below) is a Letter to the editor from Montana in response to a cartoon featured at the Bozeman Daily Chronicle on September 22, 2015.
This is an excellent short letter that hits all the points you should be making where you live. People ask me all the time, what can I do? This is something you can do!
The issue is hot and this is your time to respond to any mention of the Syrian invasion about to arrive on American shores (and into your towns). In some ways, the outrageous demands (100,000, not properly screened, Syrians in one year) of the Hard Left (No Borders!) Resettlement Industry (quietly backed by RINO politicians looking for cheap immigrant labor for their big business donors), should be looked on as a blessing as Americans are waking up.
Please write letters to the editor in response to anything you see in your local papers on the issue. The media (even Fox News I’m sorry to say!) itself is not going to give us a fair report, so you need to educate your fellow citizens. ***Update*** Be sure to check with your paper for the word count permitted!
From the Bozeman Daily Chronicle:
It’s astonishing how much is wrong with the editorial cartoon concerning putative Syrian refugees that the Chronicle printed on Sept. 22. (The cartoon shows Uncle Sam idling in a motorboat labeled “USA” and telling “Syrian refugees” swimming nearby to tread water while we run background checks on them.)
First, refugees are officially defined as people who have a “well-founded fear of persecution,” but being caught in Syria’s civil war, while obviously hazardous, isn’t persecution. So such people aren’t actually refugees.
Second, most of them aren’t Syrians, either! As the Wall Street Journal reported (“Migrants Pose as Syrians to Open Door to Asylum in Europe,” Sept. 12), there’s a brisk trade in stolen and counterfeit Syrian passports. As few as 10 percent of this human tsunami may be Syrians; some come from as far afield as Afghanistan.
Further, if these were predominantly people fleeing a war zone, they wouldn’t be 69 percent men (primarily men in their 20s), as reported by the UN Refugee Agency. Instead, most of these people are simply illegal immigrants from all over the Mideast and Africa who are using the chaos in Syria as cover to exit their own dysfunctional countries and move to the gravy-train welfare states of Western civilization.
And what about those background checks? Well, the FBI admitted to Congress that it can’t confirm identities or investigate histories of most people arriving from the strife-torn Mideast. For an explosive example of what this means, recall Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Chechen “refugees” who bombed the Boston Marathon.
So Europe should decline these faux refugees. The U.S. should too, especially considering that more than 90 percent of recent Mideast “refugees” here use food stamps and nearly 70 percent collect cash welfare.
Finally, your editors shouldn’t choose cartoons to publish based on uninformed sentimentality.

Incidentally Montana doesn’t have a refugee resettlement program at the moment, but efforts are underway there by the Lefties and their big business pals to get something started there. See our post here in June.
Petition to the White House: Bring in 65,000 mostly Muslim Syrians to live permanently in US!
Editor: I know some of you who have subscribed to RRW don’t like getting too many e-mails in one day, but honestly this issue is reaching a fever-pitch and we must at least try to keep up with the news being driven by the events in Europe and the uptick in lobbying activity by Obama’s federal refugee contractors as they push for massive numbers of refugees, especially Syrians, to be admitted to the US in fiscal year 2016 which begins on October 1 (in a few short weeks). As a subscriber you will be getting more e-mails that are directly generated by wordpress. Also, if you are a longtime reader and think we are repeating too much information, keep in mind that we have hundreds (yesterday thousands!) of new readers every day and they need to be brought up to speed. ***Update*** If you would like to keep up with more news that interests me, but I can’t post, follow me on twitter, here @refugeewatcher.
Here then is additional confirmation that the nine major federal refugee contractors*** are going warp speed to press the Obama Administration to bring 65,000 Syrians to the US in the closing months of the Obama Administration. I know the number 65,000! sounds like insanity (and it is), but remember these are hard left NGOs that are working to change American communities by colonizing them with third world ‘diversity’ and to top it off they are paid by the head to do it—by you, the US taxpayer!
They need to get as much done as possible in case a certain Republican is elected in 2016.
Yesterday we told you about the International Rescue Committee David Miliband’s press release pushing for 65,000 (and remember the UN is picking the Syrians from their camps and that so far of the 1,400 or so we have admitted since January 2012—95% are Sunni Muslims). The percentage jumps to 97% for this year. They are not clamoring to save Christians!
Now we see that another contractor, US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI), has started a White House Petition asking Obama for 65,000 Syrians!
Time is of the essence! Obama will be sending his annual “Determination Letter” (for FY2016) to Congress for consultation in a few short weeks. Congress usually rubber stamps whatever the President asks. You must make sure they don’t rubber stamp it this time!
Here is the White House Petition (no mention of persecuted Christians!):
Resettle Syrian Refugees in the U.S
By the end of April 2015 , the UN estimated 6.5 million people had been displaced in Syria, while more than +4 million refugees had fled to countries such as Lebanon (1.2 million), Jordan (608,000) and Turkey (1.75 million) and thousands more in Europe.
Germany expects to accept 800,000 asylum seekers this year, four times more than in 2014 and more than any other EU country. The US has so fare admitted less than 1000 Syrian refugees.
United States of America; the most powerful nation, the largest economy, and the champion of democracy and human rights should stands for its values .
The International Rescue Committee has argued for the U.S. to accept at least 65,000 refugees.
We are asking the President and the government to pledge to resettle at least 65,000 Syrians by 2016.
As of this writing they have 10,180 signatures and hope to reach 100,000 this month!
See our petition here.
Citizens concerned about what is being done to their communities are only asking for a say in how much resettlement they get, while the contractors are looking to virtually double the number of needy people to be “seeded” into unsuspecting towns. (In recent years, Obama has admitted about 70,000 refugees each year from all over the world, 65,000, of course, would nearly double the number for FY2016).
For our thousands of new readers, here (below) are the nine major refugee contractors that like to call themselves Voluntary Agencies but are largely paid by the US taxpayer to colonize American towns. These nine phony non-profits (quasi government agencies!) are choosing the towns where Syrians will be resettled.
If you are affiliated with one of the six (in red) so-called faith groups, it is time to ask what the h*** are they doing to America in your name!
- Church World Service (CWS)
- Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC)
- Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM)
- Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS)
- International Rescue Committee (IRC)
- US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI)
- Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services (LIRS)
- United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)
- World Relief Corporation (WR)
One final thing! This is a list of USCRI subcontractors around the US. Note they are the contractor operating in Twin Falls, Idaho. This petition tells you exactly what USCRI has in mind for your town—-hundreds, perhaps thousands! of Syrians for each of them! You need to look at the list!
On second thought, one more thing! Go here to the list of 190 or so refugee subcontractors around the US. If your town or city is on the list, or even within 100 miles of any of these offices, you are a target!
Contact local elected officials and do some preemptive community organizing and demand that your community have a say in the secretive resettlement process.
I put the word “permanently” in the title of my post because I think some new readers think that we take refugees on a temporary basis. Make no mistake! If the civil war in Syria ended tomorrow and the pipeline of Syrians was fully open, the resettlement would go on for years and all those getting in would be US citizens in short order.
Sign the petition! Demand local approval for refugee resettlement
It has been just over 24 hours since we told you about the petition, here, to demand transparency from the federal government and a local role in decision-making involving the “seeding” of refugees to towns large and small across America.
I am happy to report that as of this minute there are already 695 who have signed the petition and a quick look at the interactive map reveals that it looks like most US states are represented, plus we have 4 who have signed it elsewhere in the world—2 in Europe and one each in Australia and South Africa. So, for our readers abroad, please consider signing the petition as well!
(If you click on the little circles the map expands to allow you to see how many from each state have signed already.)
Go here to see who has signed (you can remain anonymous if that makes you more comfortable), but please consider signing.
The federal refugee contractors are getting worried! How do I know, come back later! I am out of time right now to post more. ***Update*** HIAS goes on the attack!
Sign the petition! Demand local approval for refugee resettlement
Update: When I signed earlier this morning I was #58 and just a few hours later we are at 247. So, please help spread the word!
A petition is circulating at GoPetition that asks you to tell elected officials at all levels of government that decisions, to “plant” third worlders in your towns and cities, rest with the local citizens and the local elected government and not with edicts from Washington.
The petition is here. And, if you would like to join the national grassroots effort to protect your communities from colonization, go here.
To my knowledge, this is the first time anything like this is being organized on the national level!
Here is a portion of the description of the problem from GoPetition:
The federal Refugee Resettlement (RR) program is operated today by the Global Left, the UN, Islam, and religious frauds. The goal is to Change America by Changing its People.
As a result, we are drowning in refugees who are destroying our Constitutional freedoms, overburdening our welfare system and posing a genuine national security threat.
Will you as an American citizen stand up and fight this national suicide via LEGAL IMMIGRATION?
By signing this petition, you are telling your Governor, Congress and state representatives:
• I will not tolerate giving my tax dollars to secretly “planted”, unvetted refugees that would otherwise go to aid poor families in my community.
• I demand you do your job by representing the Will of The People rather than the Resettlement industry that may be funding your campaigns.
Continue here. If you feel more comfortable, you can be anonymous, but please sign it!
Go here to see who has already signed. And, check out the very cool interactive map that will hopefully be filled in by thousands of you signing the petition.
