SAN DIEGO (TheBlaze/AP) — Homeland Security buses carrying migrant children and families were rerouted Tuesday to a facility in San Diego after American flag-waving protesters blocked the group from reaching a suburban processing center.
The standoff in Murrieta came after Mayor Alan Long urged residents to complain to elected officials about the plan to transfer the Central American illegal immigrants to California to ease overcrowding of facilities along the Texas-Mexico border.
Ireland is bottom of the European league table when it comes to offering asylum to refugees – including those from war torn Syria – according to a new report.
[….]
The Eurostat report says: “The three largest groups of beneficiaries of protection status in the EU28 in 2013 remained citizens of Syria (35,800 persons or 26 percent of the total number of persons granted protection status), Afghanistan (16,400 or 12 percent) and Somalia (9,700 or 7 percent).
[….]
Ireland allowed only 150 out of 840 applicants asylum status while 55 others received interim permission to remain in the state.
The figures put the country at the bottom of the league along with the Baltic and some south-eastern European states.

Isn’t this great, the Dept. of Homeland Securty has a handy little “infographic” to help you understand the steps involved in taking care of the “children” (3/4 are teenaged boys) coming across the US Southern border by the thousands. You pay for all of this and there is no mention here about sending any home.
The asylum courts are so clogged that they will be fully grown men before they get a court date (step 5), if they ever get one.
We are going to have a lot of posts in the coming days about whether your town or city will be involved in Step 3 below.
For new readers, see all of our posts (going back several years) on “unaccompanied minors” by clicking here. See especially Don Barnett’s prescient reportof ten years ago. It took a President like Obama to take a Bush do-gooder policy and turn it into an invitation to invade America.
There is a chart making the rounds (several people have sent it to me) which supposedly shows the “origins” of “refugees” admitted to the US. Although the text makes it clear that the numbers are for those granted “asylum” in the US (yes, they become refugees, aka asylees, for the purpose of getting their goodies), but to call them “refugees” is confusing.
A refugee is generally considered to be someone the UN selects abroad and is admitted into the US by the State Department after some initial screening. A successful asylee is someone who got to the US on his or her own steam and then asked for asylum and were subsequently granted refugee status.
So why do the “unaccompanied minors” from Central America need lawyers? Because they are going to be applying for asylum (although most are economic migrants, not legitimate refugees). http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-Texas/2014/06/05/Leaked-Images-Reveal-Children-Warehoused-in-Crowded-US-Cells-Border-Patrol-Overwhelmed
Also, the chartdoes not tell us what the time frame is for the numbers or where the author got them—are the numbers for 10 years, 5 years, one year???
Regular readers here can quickly see that the numbers are wrong if we are talking about “refugees” admitted by the US because leading that list in recent years are Iraqis, Burmese, Bhutanese and Somalis.
We don’t admit Chinese “refugees” in any great number. This year (see stats here) for example in the same period that we took 32 Chinese “refugees” we have admitted 11,660 Iraqis.
Since the chart making the rounds lists Chinese “refugees” as over 65,000 it is clearly attempting to show “asylees” or “asylum seekers” (those who have not yet been granted asylum). Those Chinese asylum seekers got in here through either illegal means or overstayed a visa (also illegal!).
By the way, most Chinese asylum seekers are frauds! Remember this story from last February?
In fact, another bunch of frauds are the “unaccompanied kids” from mostly Central America who got in here illegally and are going to be seeking asylum. If approved they will be refugees with all of the social services and rights available to a US citizen (except voting, but they will be doing that too!). See our fact sheet for what refugees and asylees (those granted asylum) are eligible to receive.
Here is the government’s Annual Flow Report for 2012 which helps further make the distinction between “refugees” and “asylees.” (Don’t ask me why they don’t have 2013 available, but I bet it’s because their “asylee” numbers are a chaotic mess or so over-the-top that they don’t want you to know!).
The leading military hawks in the US Senate—McCain and Graham—lecturing us about how we must control borders in the Middle East with bombs and guns, are virtually welcoming an invading army to America!
Graham and McCain: A joke or treasonous? http://grumpyelder.com/2013/08/mccain-graham-as-popular-in-egypt-as-they-are-in-america/
And, they are on the same page with the open borders refugee lobbyists in DC.
Here is a story (making my head explode!) that you have probably seen already over the weekend. From Reuters(hat tip: Robin):
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Some leading members of the U.S. Congress are calling on the Obama administration to consider launching an emergency refugee program for Central American children as one way to address a rapidly escalating humanitarian crisis at the southern border with Mexico.
The US refugee program was never intended to give permanent shelter to people fearful of crime in their home country just because that country wasn’t capable of protecting its citizens from domestic abuse and gang violence.
For years (we have been writing about it), the open borders lobbyists and the contractors have been attempting to expand the definition of “refugee” to include just about anyone who wants to get to America. Legitimate do-gooders who care about legitimate refugees should be incensed!
Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona, told Reuters on Thursday that establishing refugee application programs in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, where domestic abuse, gang violence and poverty are rampant, is the “key” to defusing the growing U.S. border crisis.
[….]
McCain and other members of Congress – both Republicans and Democrats – say that a refugee program could help discourage minors from making the perilous journey north alone. At the same time, it would give some of them a legal way to flee the three nations, which rank among the top five countries with the highest murder rates in the world.
Lobbyists for the refugee contractors approve of the McCain/Graham proposal!
The lobbying arm for the humanitarian industrial complex and the refugee resettlement contractors*** thinks McCain and Graham are on the right track! Be sure to see our report on the Refugee Council USA which was primarily set up to lobby and help protect the 501(c)3 status (and government grants) of the resettlement contractors.
“Some sort of in-country or regional processing (of refugee children) is one of the suggestions we have been making,” said Kristen Aster, associate director of the Refugee Council USA.
She said the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees could get involved in the coordination, given that children from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras might have to flee their native countries quickly and travel to a neighboring one once they apply for refugee status. The United States or other Central American countries could be their final destinations.
See also the Daily Caller, which reports that Graham (generally joined at the hip with McCain) is in on the concept:
South Carolina U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham – who, like McCain, backs immigration reform – is considering the idea of an emergency program as well.
There is only one sure-fire way to stop the invasion—airlift them (3/4th are teenaged boys!) back immediately to their respective capitals and tell the governments to find their families while threatening to cut off all foreign aid (not dump more of our taxpayer dollars into dysfunctional hell-holes where it will be squandered by corrupt politicians!).
See our entire archive(spanning several years) on the ‘unaccompanied minors’ nightmare for our nation. And, see Diana West last week—‘Saving the border when the cavalry isn’t coming’here.
