Crisis on the border predicted ten years ago!

Center for Immigration Fellow, Don Barnett, predicted (in 2004!) the “crisis” we are now seeing before our eyes as tens of thousands of illegal alien minors (mostly male teenagers) are flooding our border and are being treated as asylum seekers and refugees.

Don Barnett: Time for refugee program to come out of the shadows! http://trib.com/opinion/columns/barnett-time-to-bring-refugee-program-out-of-the-shadows/article_b3e35008-b3e1-5552-b0cc-7b72b6ccec5d.html?comment_form=true

There is so much news this morning on the “invasion of America” that I almost don’t know where to begin. So we will start at the beginning—in 2004 during the Bush Administration!

Barnett wondered at the time:  Is the U.S. government an active participant in human smuggling operations?

Here is Barnett in a backgrounder for the Center for Immigration Studies:

When the old Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) was reorganized as part of the new Department of Homeland Security (DHS), it lost one of its immigration enforcement functions.

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), part of the Department of Health and Human Services, is now in charge of custody, identification, and release policy for “unaccompanied minors” caught trying to cross the border or caught in the interior.

ORR likes to remind its contractors that their mission is no longer “just about refugees.” The federal agency is a social services agency which dispenses grant money and manages benefits and services for a range of entitled immigrants that now extends well beyond those who come over on the U.S. refugee program. Its clients are eligible for all forms of welfare, but, as well, there is grant money from virtually every program the federal government has ever created (including funds from the tobacco settlement and the president’s “marriage initiative”), to be managed for successful asylum seekers, “Cuban/Haitian entrants,” and holders of “Trafficking” and “Battered Women” visas—all of whom need merely get themselves to U.S. shores with the correct label to qualify for ORR care.

Read it all, it is everything you need to know about the origin of this tragedy for America.  It took frankly an evil Administration (using children for their political gain) to bring us to this place ten years later.

#ActOfLove—what a joke!

M.D.: Deadly diseases crossing the border with the ‘refugee’ “children”

Dr Elizabeth Lee Vliet reporting at World Net Daily (emphasis is mine):

A flood of illegals has massively surged at our southwestern borders. The economic impact of medical care, education and incarceration for illegals forced on taxpayers is bankrupting Arizona.

Why are such swarms entering the U.S. illegally NOW, particularly children? Newspapers in Mexico and Central and South America are actually describing U.S. “open borders,” encouraging people to come with promises of food stamps or “amnesty.” It is textbook Cloward-Piven strategy to overwhelm and collapse the economic and social systems, in order to replace them with a “new socialist order” under federal control.

Carried by this tsunami of illegals are the invisible “travelers” our politicians don’t like to mention: diseases the U.S. had controlled or virtually eradicated: tuberculosis (TB), Chagas disease, dengue fever, hepatitis, malaria, measles, plus more. I have been working on medical projects in Central and South America since 2009, so I am aware of problems these countries face from such diseases.

A public health crisis, the likes of which I have not seen in my lifetime, is looming. Hardest hit by exposures to these difficult-to-treat diseases will be elderly, children, immunosuppressed cancer-patients, patients with chronic lung disease or congestive heart failure. Drug-resistant tuberculosis is the most serious risk, but even diseases like measles can cause severe complications and death in older or immunocompromised patients.

The “unaccompanied alien minors” are going to cost America dearly, read it all.

See also our Health Issues category with 223 previous posts about refugee and migrant diseases, mental health issues, and policy discussions.   In my view, it won’t be worries about terrorism or the cost of social services involved with more immigration, but the fear of one’s children acquiring a deadly disease from a schoolmate that will finally cause Americans to wise-up on the subject of unfettered immigration.

Church groups ship illegal “children” deeper into US; House Judiciary Committee to hold hearings

Invasion of America…..

The church group story is no surprise, it is exactly what they did in the “Sanctuary Movement” more than three decades ago.  The story at InfoWars (hat tip: Cathy) is worth checking out.  Based on the number of comments the news has gotten there—over 3,000 comments at this time—the message about who is driving the invasion (the Religious Left!) of our Southern Border is getting much wider distribution.

Drudge is reporting that militia groups are being called up, here.

Drudge posted this photo today to highlight all the news of the youthful “asylum seeking” invaders from Central America.

 

Meanwhile, Chairman Bob Goodlatte has announced that the full House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing this coming Wednesday (the 25th) on the “crisis” calling it an Obama Administration-made disaster.   Goodlatte wants some answers from the Dept. of Homeland Security.

Here are the details about time and place and a list of those who will testify.

I don’t really have time to digest a couple of reports for you on how we got to this horrific place, but know that the laws that set the invasion in motion were laws signed by George Bush.  See Migration Policy Institute here and then here are 13 “facts” about the situation.  Keep in mind that those two sources lean Left.

Charles Krauthammer who has been squishy on immigration told Greta last night that the only solution is to send them back at the border.   Yup!

Migrant invasion of Europe continues every day, mostly Muslims

The number of “refugees” worldwide may have dropped in the last couple of decades, but the number “welcomed” in Europe has increased.

This is what the Mediterranean tide brings in on a daily basis.  Al-Hijra anyone!

 

‘New Europeans’ rescued at sea after launching from Libya.

 

Syrians, Afghans and Somalis top the list!  From AP at FoxNews:

BRUSSELS – The European Union’s statistical agency says more people were granted asylum across the 28-nation bloc last year mostly because of a high influx of refugees fleeing the war in Syria.

Eurostat said Thursday the number of accepted asylum seekers rose by 17 percent to 135,700 in 2013 from 116,200 a year earlier, meaning about one in three applications was accepted out of a total of 462,000.

The biggest group of refugees that were granted asylum were some 36,000 Syrians, a quarter of the total, followed by about 16,000 Afghans and 9,700 Somalis.

Sweden, with 9.6 million inhabitants, was the most generous country in accepting asylum seekers, granting protection to 26,400 people, followed by Germany, the EU’s most populous nation, which accepted 26,100 people. France took in 16,200, and Italy 14,500.

If you haven’t treated yourself to some light (LOL!) summer reading, how about The Camp of the Saints (along with Al-Hijra)!

See the Department of Homeland Security’s annual flow report for 2012 (the most recent one we could find) that summarizes the numbers and where they come from of US refugees and asylees.   The Office of Refugee Resettlement told us that in 2013 we took about 143,000 refugees and asylum seekers (all are eligible for welfare goodies).

Oklahoma town expects economic boon as federal refugee workers move in!

Just keep it up!  “Refugee” will definitely be a very bad word when/if the Obama-generated crisis on the border is ever resolved.

Invasion of America continues….

Mayor Fitch: Yippee! Federal money and federal workers headed our way!

Check out this story by Ryan Lovelace who has been writing some good stuff at National Review Online (hat tip: Paul).  Emphasis is mine:

Oklahomans expect an economic boom as a result of the flood of illegal immigrant children the federal government has begun sending their way.

The Department of Defense has loaned the facilities at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, to the Department of Health and Human Services to house approximately 600 unaccompanied alien children, according to the Department of Defense. Local officials expect the surrounding community to reap the rewards.

“They’re talking about $1.2 million impact for the Lawton-Fort Sill community within the first 30 days,” Lawton Mayor Fred Fitch told KSWO 7 News.

Lawton will roll in federal tax dollars/federal workers and the “children” will all be good kids (as long as they are confined)!

The Oklahoman reports the ratio of federal worker to child at Ft. Sill will be one federal worker per every two children. Based on that ratio, the area could expect approximately 300 federal workers. An HHS factsheet indicates such workers would include representatives from the Office of Refugee Resettlement within HHS’ Administration for Children and Families. The kids will be kept in a 200,000 square foot building and kept under 24-hour supervision. Fitch insisted to KSWO that the children will not be allowed to leave the confines of the post and that the influx of children will not have any adverse impact on the local community.
