House Homeland Security Subcommittee to hold hearing tomorrow on Syrian refugee threat

Update June 24th:  The Center for Security Policy filed this report of the hearing.
This is a rescheduled hearing we had been waiting for, here, several weeks ago.

David Gartenstein-Ross of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies will testify tomorrow. http://www.defenddemocracy.org/

Rep. Peter King (R-NY) will preside over the hearing in the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence.  Those testifying about the security risk involved with admitting thousands of Syrians with little documentation include:

Dr. Seth Jones
Director
International Security and Defense Policy Center
RAND Corporation

Mr. Thomas Fuentes
FBI Assistant Director (Retired)

Dr. Daveed Gartenstein-Ross
Senior Fellow
Foundation for Defense of Democracies

It is disappointing that there is no present representative of the FBI as there was in an earlier hearing in February.   The FBI testified then that it was impossible to screen Syrians for security because there were no available records on who they really are.
Members of the Subcommittee are as follows.  If one of these is your representative in Washington, please contact him or her today and tomorrow and tell them no migration of Syrians (they are mostly Muslims) to your towns and cities should be permitted.
(To see where they have been resettled so far this year, go here. And, be sure to see our Youtube video here on the plan to admit 65,000 in the next 18 months or so!)
Members of the Subcommittee:

Majority

Peter T. King, New York, Chairman

Candice Miller, Michigan

Lou Barletta, Pennsylvania*

John Katko, New York

Will Hurd, Texas

Minority

Brian Higgins, New York, Ranking Member

William R. Keating, Massachusetts

Filemon Vela, Texas

* Barletta is an especially good immigration control advocate.

I know many of you think that 65,000 Syrians admitted to the US before Obama leaves office is a pipe dream of the federal refugee contractors , the Senate Jihad Caucus, and the UN/US State Department, but it isn’t.  It could happen, so you must speak up often and loudly!

You know all that low-income housing they are building in middle class American towns, and we are told masses of trailers are being spotted in rural communities—well, what else could they need all that government housing for?  Just saying!
Obama is surely planning to go out with a final blow to America!  And, he knows Congress is a toothless tiger!  This could be it!

Did your city 'welcome' Syrians in the first 6 months of 2015?

After studying the US State Department data base, here are the numbers of Syrians who were resettled in cities across the country.

Just think about it! The ‘humanitarians’ in the US State Department are ‘saving’ Syrians by placing them in places like Chicago and Baltimore! Are local African-American communities eager to ‘welcome the stranger?’ Are they searching for the joys of diversity? I doubt it! https://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/2015/05/03/baltimore-thousands-of-impoverished-refugees-poured-into-city-in-last-ten-years-fuel-for-the-fire/

There are some additional cities that received a smaller number of Syrians in years 2012, 2013, and 2014.

However, I think you can assume that, although the numbers are still small, these cities (which are getting them in 2015) are a good first indicator of where they would distribute 10,000-65,000 (if the Senate Jihad Caucus, the Obama Administration and the UN succeed).

These numbers are from 1/1/2015 to 6/15/2015 and were found at the Refugee Processing Center where the US State Department keeps data on incoming refugees.

Of the total number of almost 1,000 Syrians resettled in the US so far since the refugee flow out of Syria began in 2012, 93% are Muslims and most of those are Sunni Muslims.

Sudanese refugee killed in Kentucky wanted to go home to Africa

This is something you rarely hear about because those in the refugee industry don’t want you to know that refugees sometimes just want to go home to their homeland, to their own culture, when they find out that America can be a tough place in which to live. 
Apparently that was the case for Deng Manyuon shot last Saturday when he attempted to assault a police officer in Louisville, KY.   We reported the story here yesterday.

I can see a PR campaign now with a poster like this one and an 800-number with operators waiting to hear from unhappy refugees and other immigrants who want to go home, and want information on how to apply for the funding.

Munyoun’s is not the first case I’ve heard of.   I had a back-and-forth discussion a few years ago with Iraqis who found that America’s streets were not paved with gold and they wanted to return to Iraq.  But they were unable to get the money together needed for a move back to the Middle East. Even airfare was too much for out-of-work refugees.  Honestly it’s almost like slavery, they’ve been brought here largely to supply big business with cheap labor or as voters for the Democrats and can’t go home!

Is it time for a Repatriation Fund?

In fact, reader CW suggested in January that a new contractor (call it “Repatriation Services”) could be incorporated and it would apply for federal grants for airfare and start-up money for immigrants and refugees who want to go home, to their own culture.
Israel is doing something like that now and offering start-up funding for Africans to voluntarily repatriate.
From WDRB.com (hat tip: Robin):

LOUISVILLE, Ky (WDRB) — Thousands of people have watched the video.

It shows LMPD Ofc. Nathan Blanford and 35-year-old Deng Manyuon at the corner of 4th and Oak in Old Louisville on Saturday.

When Manyuon walks away, he grabs a flag pole and charges back at Blanford, wildly swinging the flag pole.

Blanford shoots Manyuon twice, killing him.

For those who knew Manyuon, the video is tough to watch.

“It’s really painful,” says Matur Reclow, chairman of the South Sudanese Community of Kentucky.

Since his death, we’ve learned Manyuon was one of the “Lost Boys of Sudan”.

He came to the U.S. in 2001 amid his country’s civil war. Reclow says Manyuon had hopes of getting an education and having a life here.

[….]

“He didn’t have mental problems but was depressed and give up the life,” he said.

They made a deal in the hospital that day that if Manyuon would try to get back on track, Reclow would arrange a one-way ticket for him back to Sudan for a fresh start in his home country. He says Manyuon wanted to escape his life of homelessness and alcoholism in Louisville.

The idea of a “Repatriation Fund” is a serious one and it would save taxpayers a bundle.  Surely a few thousand dollars of airfare and a little cash to get started back home would be small in comparison to years of welfare payments and medical care.
In fact, if such a fund had existed right along with the resettlement program all these years, Deng Manyoun might be alive today.

Sudanese refugee shot and killed in Louisville; why are we colonizing America with people like this?

Update June 17th:  He had wanted to go home to Africa, here.
You’ve probably already seen the news here at WND , but thanks to reader Robin for sending this AP story posted at the Daily Journal about the Sudanese refugee shot by police on Saturday as he attacked an officer with a flag pole.

Deng Manyuon, a refugee first resettled in Nashville ended up killed by a police officer in Louisville, KY when he threatened an officer with a metal flag pole. So much for the screening of refugees we hear so much about. I guess they are not screened for mental illness!

Everywhere I travel in America, people tell me some story about how hard it is for a decent/educated/deserving European or Canadian to get into the US as an immigrant, yet here we are taking the mentally ill from Africa who will never benefit from a life in a first world country.
By the way, note that the USCIS would not discuss his immigration status (even after he is dead?).  One more story for Ann Coulter’s ‘Adios America’ where she very meticulously (and humorously) discusses the secrecy the media tolerates (promotes!) when reporting on the immigration status of criminal aliens.
You see, reporting about immigrant criminals does not fit the message the Leftwing media wants you to get! However, I am starting to see a change, and at least this AP reporter used the “R” word!
From the Daily Journal:

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky — Deng Manyuon stood in the middle of an intersection on a 33-degree morning in March 2013, wearing just shorts and a T-shirt and shouting at passing cars.

The Sudanese refugee, “manifestly under the influence of alcohol,” then kicked a police officer in the rib cage, according to court records. Officers subdued him safely that morning.

But on Saturday, he swung a 7-foot flagpole at Louisville Metro Police Officer Nathan Blanford and the officer shot him dead, sparking a debate in the city about officers’ use of deadly force and their sensitivity when dealing with the mentally ill or intoxicated.

Court records that chronicle Manyuon’s seven years in Louisville describe a troubled man with mental illness and alcoholism, who routinely lashed out at the officers who tried to rein him in.

Manyuon, alternatively spelled Manyoun in records, was in and out of jail and downtown homeless shelters, and was a familiar presence on the streets around the Old Louisville intersection where he was killed Saturday.

He spoke Dinka, a language of southern Sudan, according to court translation records. He struggled to communicate in English, his friends said.  [He lived here since 2001 and could not speak English!—ed]

Manyuon fled war-torn Sudan in 2001 and settled in Nashville, according to Bart Weigel, communications director for Catholic Charities of Louisville, which offers resettlement services to refugees.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services declined to discuss his immigration status, citing privacy concerns.

It all started here on Saturday:

On Saturday, Manyuon allegedly attacked a stranger on the street, grabbed her purse and threw it, then punched her in the face.

There is much more, read it all.
By the way, Louisville is turning into a big resettlement site including a leading site for Syrians.  See our Louisville archive here.

Hillary's Burma problem: Rohingya refugees on the loose

Editor’s note:  This issue of Rohingya refugees coming to the US in large numbers is on par with the Syrian refugee lobbying push!  Watch for it!
I have a boatload of information on Burma (Myanmar) I should have been posting, but I’ve been dragging my feet simply because it is so much information.  Hillary’s announcement (not really, she had already announced) that she was (surprise!) running for President of the US over the weekend, forced me to at least mention this nugget.

Hillary and Aung-San-Suu-Kyi-and-Clinton_full_600
Hillary thrilled to meet Aung San Suu Kyi in 2012. Hillary must not have heard about Suu Kyi’s great transgression—not supporting the Rohingya cause in Burma! Photo: http://www.asiastudies.de/?p=148

Longtime readers know that we have followed the issue of Rohingya refugees for nearly 8 years (see our Rohingya Reports category) mostly because of our concern that there would be a big PR campaign to bring this most fundamentalist ethnic Muslim group to America, and there is!
We are bringing them and a big media push is on to bring many thousands more!  I recently looked at the number of refugees who are getting out of Burma (Buddhist leaders want Burma to be a Buddhist nation) and being brought to your towns and cities—-over 12,000 Burmese Muslims so far!

So the Buddhists of Burma want to keep Burma as a Buddhist nation and it is our responsibility to take in the expelled minorities!  Why?

Hillary had been bragging that during her reign as Secretary of State she was working her magic diplomacy on the Burmese government and getting them to calm down.  Guess that didn’t work out so well as all the news is about the thousands of Rohingya getting into boats and sailing to Malaysia and Indonesia so they can be picked up by the US and brought to rural America!
By the way, the famous human rights activist, Aung San Suu Kyi, released from house arrest in Burma after 15 years, is not taking up the Rohingya cause much to the consternation of groups that comprise the human rights industrial complex.  (See our many posts on that subject here).

The Podesta Group sent to Burma to help save Hillary’s legacy! 

From the Washington Free Beacon (hat tip: Cathy):

As Myanmar backslides into religious conflict, a lobbying firm founded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman is working to rehabilitate its image.

The Southeast Asian nation inked an $840,000 contract in March with the Podesta Group, founded by Clinton campaign chief John Podesta and his brother Tony. The firm will work to “strengthen the ties between … Myanmar and United States institutions,” according to its contract.

That could involve meetings with members of Congress, the White House, reporters, and policy groups, according documents filed with the Justice Department’s National Security Division.

The liberalization of Myanmar was once seen as one of Secretary of State Clinton’s few success stories. However, recent humanitarian crises have drawn stern rebukes from top U.S. officials and human rights organizations.

The United Nations’ Human Rights division on Wednesday condemned the country’s government for jailing an activist who spoke out against state-sanctioned violence against the country’s Muslim Rohingya minority.

“Rather than prosecuting individuals, who brazenly call for the Rohingya to be killed, for hate speech and incitement to violence, the authorities have jailed a peaceful advocate who dared to question the misuse and manipulation of religion for extremist ends,” the United Nations wrote.

Surrounding countries now face a refugee crisis as tens of thousands of Rohingya flee the country.
