Former Rep and Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann tells us what has happened to Minnesota

Even after the (told you so!) attack at St. Cloud’s Crossroads mall last Saturday night, the first instincts of elected officials in Minnesota is to rally around the Somali Muslim population to protect their sensitive feelings.
In an interview with World Net Daily, Bachmann does not hold back!  (St. Cloud was part of her district during the years she was in Congress and trying to get her fellow members to wake up to Islamic supremacism and the infiltration of the Muslim Brotherhood throughout the Administration in Washington, DC.)
From Leo Hohmann at World Net Daily:

Minnesota’s St. Cloud community is still reeling from Saturday’s knife attacks that injured 10 people and caused panic at the Crossroads Center Mall on Saturday, a day that police chief William Anderson said changed the city forever.

I hope I am still around to see Bachmann vindicated one day and John McCain shown to be the traitor who protected Huma Abedin and the Muslim Brotherhood’s infiltration of our government.

But did it?

The city of 67,000 people sits 65 miles northwest of Minneapolis. It has been pummeled with Muslim refugees, mostly from Somalia, for more than a decade, and its citizens have been brow beaten into a form of politically correct submission to Islam, says former Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn.

“I would say that this attack did wake people up in the sense that this was real and it happened in our backyard and people are aware of it. But Minnesota is a state where we have been marinated in political correctness for quite some time, and the pushback against any type of conservatism is extremely intense. So people have no fight left in them,” Bachmann told WND.

To say anything negative about Islam immediately gets you branded a bigot, a xenophobe, a racist or an “Islamophobe,” she said. It doesn’t matter that Islam is not a race or that the term “Islamophobe” was invented by the extremist Muslim Brotherhood as a tool to cast Western Muslims as victims of oppression.

By the way, if Hillary and her chief aide Huma Abedin make it to the Oval Office we are finished, but I don’t need to tell you that!
You might want to visit our top post over the last few days—it is from 2015—about how Lutheran Social Services of Minnesota is responsible for seeding St. Cloud with Somalis.

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be Jihadists….or we will deport you too!

We have focused our attention on the vetting process for refugee resettlement, maybe because that is easier to see, easier maybe to get a handle on, but most of the recent successful terror attacks in the US have been committed by those 3-year olds we  raised up after we ‘welcomed’ their families to America. How do you vet against those?

mohamed-osman-mohamud
In 2014 Mohamed Osman Mohamud was sentenced to 30-years for plotting to blow up a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland, OR. He came here as a small child.

When I say “we,” I mean the US taxpayer.  We put roofs over their heads, we fed them, we treated their medical problems and sent them to school and college, and what came out at the end, not an upwardly mobile young man, but a killer for Allah.
So we can vet the refugees coming in all we want, but its the next generation that has turned to the teaching of Islam for their guidance.
Both of the terrorists last weekend (in NY/NJ and MN) came to America as small children, as refugees and asylees.
And, who can forget the Boston Bombers—the Tsarnaev brothers.  But, I bet you have long forgotten the Somali Christmas tree bomber and the evil creep who killed some of our military men in Chattanooga.  (I’m not bothering to list all of the Minnesota Somalis who either already left the country to join the international jihad or are in prison for trying to leave.)
All came as children who grew up supposedly assimilated and then said s**** the good life, I want to kill infidels.  How do you screen against those?
Do you remember when Obama went to the Philippines in 2015 and sneered at American ‘fears of 3-year olds?’
 

 
(There is actually a longer version of this same speech where he sneers at the idea of bringing in only Christians but could not find one that could be inserted easily here.)
Let’s be honest, if it weren’t for the vast numbers of Muslims being admitted through the refugee program we wouldn’t be talking about all of this.  We still couldn’t economically afford the unsustainable numbers Obama and the Republicans in Congress are admitting from all corners of the world, but Islamic terrorism would not be our major fear.
As far as I know, no 3-year-old Christian refugees have grown up to attack us (to bite the hand that fed them) in the name of their faith.
Face it! The only possible solution is a moratorium on Muslim refugees (and other legal immigrants) coming to the US from certain parts of the world, because yes, we have a legitimate (proven) fear of 3-year-olds.
An aside:  You know how we could expose the young jihadists living in our communities. If we had a law on the books to deport all immediate family members of a convicted Islamic terrorist and anyone else connected to that terrorist who could be proven to have known about his/her intentions—best friends, Imams, etc.  Imagine how quickly some of these potential jihadists would be turned in in advance!

In wake of Islamic terror attacks in 3 states, Obama goes to the UN to pitch for more Muslim refugee admissions

First, I’ll admit I haven’t read one article yet this morning about the Obama refugee extravaganza on the “margins” of the United Nations General Assembly today.
But, this one yesterday at Politico makes it very clear that those Islamic terrorists—the Somali in Minnesota and the Afghan in New Jersey—have complicated his mission.

antonio-guterez
Just when I thought the former UN High Commissioner for Refugees had gone off to lay on a Portuguese beach somewhere, I see that the Socialist Antonio Guterres is now one of the top contenders to replace the outgoing UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. I followed Guterres lackluster leadership as UNHCR for years here at RRW. LOL! Ki-moon’s term ends on December 31, maybe they can keep it open for a month and give Obama a shot at the top job! http://indianexpress.com/article/world/world-news/portugals-ex-premier-antonio-guterres-emerges-as-frontrunner-to-succeed-un-secretary-general-ban-ki-moon-2930134/

Why? Because the average American has been so kept in the dark about how the refugee admissions program works and how there are myriad other LEGAL methods for migrants from terror-producing countries to enter the US, that they don’t give a damn about which program is which and the Islamic terrorists’ methods of entry—they just want it stopped!
If there is one action taken for decades that is now coming back to bite the refugee advocates in the a** it is the secrecy that has surrounded the refugee program from almost its beginning in the 1980’s and continues through yesterday as angry citizens everywhere are trying to get the basic information out of local resettlement contractors about who is coming to their towns and how many will it be.
You likely noticed, in my previous post that I was rather unenthusiastic about spending my day trying to figure out if the NY/NJ Afghan bomber is a refugee or not, it is because it is almost irrelevant. We are letting too many in to the US across the board and the average American knows that!
Here is the Politico story that caught my eye.
I guess those Islamic terrorists weren’t reading the press releases from the Obama Administration or they might have had the good sense to wait until AFTER Obama’s big pitch today before they launched their attempted killing spree!

UNITED NATIONS — The New York-area hunt for an Afghan-born bombing suspect cast a pall on this week’s gathering of international leaders at the U.N. General Assembly, a session U.S. President Barack Obama plans to use to rally support for helping the world’s refugees.

Instead, the search for and eventual capture Monday of 28-year-old Ahmad Khan Rahami gave a fresh talking point to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who wants to dramatically curtail U.S. admissions of refugees and other immigrants and who has criticized his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton’s more welcoming stance.

“I just saw that and wanted to weep,” a U.S.-based refugee advocate told POLITICO as news spread of the manhunt. “Trump is going to be all over this bullshit.”

And he was.

[….]

It was not immediately clear how Rahami reached the United States, or whether he even arrived as a refugee. But activists acknowledged that such nuances would likely get lost in the debate this week as terrorism will likely become an even more prominent issue than it already is.

Yup! Continue reading Politico whine, here.

Is the New York bombing suspect a refugee?

I don’t know. Maybe someone has already dug out the immigration information for Ahmad Khan Rahami (and I will be pleasantly surprised).
But, I woke up this morning and figured you would be wondering so I needed to at least address the fact that I don’t know, and am not going to spend a lot of time trying to figure out which of many LEGAL programs his family might have used.
***Update*** Here is a report that says he came as a child in a family that sought asylum here, so that makes him a refugee. The asylum process is the other half of the Refugee Admissions Program and the difference is that in the case of asylum, the migrant gets in here on his or her own steam, usually illegally, and then applies for asylum.  Clearly, if he is now a citizen, his father/family were approved political refugees. The other type of refugee we usually write about is chosen abroad and flown here.

This is a map from the Refugee Processing Center showing where nearly 10,000 Afghan refugees have been resettled between FY 2003 and up until September 1, 2016. http://www.wrapsnet.org/Reports/InteractiveReporting/tabid/393/Default.aspx

 
It is not as simple to figure out how Afghans got here as it is with the Somalis.  The Somalis we know are probably 95% (higher maybe) refugees admitted through the UN/US Refugee Admissions Program, but Afghans have gotten in here over decades through many legal and illegal avenues.
By the way, when I opened RRW just now I see that our old post about Lutheran Social Services of Minnesota being responsible for the large number of Somalis in St.Cloud went viral overnight.  You might want to have a look at it if you’ve never seen it, or have forgotten it.  Click here to see all about LSS of Minnesota and St. Cloud.
People who have never paid attention before are starting to ask—how the h*** are we getting so many Muslims admitted to the US?
Back to Rahami:
CNN has a rather lengthy discussion about his activities as an adult, see here, this morning. And, I did see in one report yesterday that he really hates gays!  But, like with so many other Islamic terrorists, the federal government is going to hold tightly any information on the immigration history of the terrorist’s family.
I do know that Elizabeth, NJ (Rahami’s home town) is one of three major resettlement sites in New Jersey and it is the International Rescue Committee that is placing more Muslims there. (The IRC is the same federal contractor operating in Missoula, MT now.)

Enterprising reporters might call the IRC in Elizabeth and ask if the Rahami’s are one of their families.
Or, maybe Senator Sessions could wring it out of the USCIS for his hearing tomorrow.
I did find this interesting article on how Afghans can get to the US.  It’s a how-to guide in English.  The article mentions using the Diversity Visa Lottery:

The easiest way is to enter the Diversity Immigrant Lottery. Each year approximately 50,000 green cards are issued to foreigners chosen randomly from a computer program.

If more Americans understood how that works there would be as much outrage as there is now about refugees. But, I’m not going there now because I have many more interesting things I want to post today.
So, as soon as someone finds out how this particular terrorist’s family got here, let me know and I’ll post it (it could years from now before we find out!).

Congress rushing to get Continuing Resolution done so they can beat it out of town

So, time is of the essence to call your member of Congress and tell him/her to follow the appeal laid out in the Babin/Brat letter.
Tell your member to call the leadership and urge them to cut the funds for refugees from terror producing parts of  the world.

UNITED STATES - MARCH 19: House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., right, whispers to House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., during the House Republican leadership media availability after the House Republican Conference meeting in the basement of the Capitol on Tuesday, March 19, 2013. (Photo By Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call) (CQ Roll Call via AP Images)
Majority leader McCarthy and Speaker Ryan have the power to save your town from becoming the next St. Cloud, MN, but will they lift a finger! https://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/2016/09/19/st-cloud-somali-jihadist-one-of-nearly-150000-somalis-admitted-to-us-in-refugee-program-in-over-3-decades/

The key leadership in the House who should be hearing from their fellow Republicans (and from you) are:

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan

Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy

Rep. Hal Rogers (Chairman of the Appropriations Committee)

Again, your member should call those three and tell them to cut the funding for refugees coming from terror-producing regions of the world (I would tell them to halt the whole program to be reviewed when a new Administration arrives in Washington).
The timing could not be better in light of the Somali terror attack in St. Cloud yesterday and it is looking like an Afghan, legally admitted to the US, might have been responsible for the attack in New York and the failed attack in NJ over the weekend.
We promised to give you the full list of those who bravely signed on to the Babin/Brat letter, they should be commended and urged to hang tough. (All Republicans in Congress were presumably given an opportunity to sign this letter last week and unless listed below, they obviously failed to do so.)
(Prime targets for your appeal should be to the House Freedom Caucus. Everyone of them should have signed the Babin/Brat letter.  Those who did sign are listed below.) ***Update*** I’ve compared the lists for you, go here to see House Freedom Caucus members who haven’t supported Babin/Brat.
