Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society hires grassroots organizer to get American Jews' minds right

02/08/2016 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Her job is to organize the American Jewish community to “welcome the stranger,” in this case Muslims from the Middle East and Africa (because they have run out of Jews and Christians to resettle).

The Times of Israel has a very lengthy story on their new Vice President Rabbi Jennie Rosenn. I encourage you to read it because it is very informative, but was virtually impossible to snip for some reason.
Rabbi Rosenn’s job is to try to bring around the American Jewish community to support Muslim refugee admission to the US. The article says that some Jews (understandably!) got skittish after the Paris and San Bernardino terrorist attacks.
And, then they have to counter the likes of us (bigots, racists and nativists).
Here are just a few things new readers need to know about the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (they want to be called HIAS):

In 2013 they received a grant from the JM Kaplan Fund to write a $35,000 report about us.
They advocate sending the goons at the Southern Poverty Law Center after us! Click here.
They lobbied hard for so-called “comprehensive immigration reform” (aka Gang of Eight bill) in the Senate.
In 2014, they re-branded and dropped the word “Hebrew” from their title and are known only as HIAS or HIAS Inc. now (what was that all about?).
Here we learn that they don’t want money and supplies for Syrians, they want the American Jewish community to lobby for more refugees to be brought to America.
They want 100,000 Syrians in here by the time Obama leaves office!
HIAS (no friend of Netanyahu) blasts Israel for attempting to close its borders and deport illegal aliens, here.
As one of nine major federal resettlement contractors*** they receive millions of your tax dollars every year to do this work. From USASpending.gov: Under the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society they received just short of $135 MILLION from the US taxpayer since 2007, and then when you search HIAS there is another $59 MILLION there in grants and sub-grants.
They could not be doing this work without YOUR money.

Syrian refugees only trickling in; slow pace must be a question of security

02/03/2016 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

In September of last year the Obama Administration announced that the US would take in 10,000 Syrian refugees in the 2016 fiscal year. This fiscal year runs from October 1, 2015 until September 30, 2016.
That decision touched off a firestorm of opposition from governors and grassroots citizens concerned about security in the wake of the Paris terrorist attack and subsequent San Bernardino slaughter.
According to State Department data bases, only 841 have arrived through January 31st (4 months into the fiscal year). We can only assume that security screening is responsible for the snails pace.

Coming to a town near you!

Here is where they went (top 5 in red):

Arizona (43)

California (103)

Colorado (19)

Connecticut (33)

Florida (59)

Georgia (16)

Idaho (1)

Illinois (45)

Indiana (18)

Kansas (2)

Kentucky (50)

Maryland (10)

Massachusetts (7)

Michigan (93)

Minnesota (8)

Missouri (8)

Nevada (5)

New Jersey (18)

New York (23)

North Carolina (20)

Ohio (54)

Oregon (9)

Pennsylvania (69)

South Carolina (2)

Tennessee (6)

Texas (66)

Utah (12)

Virginia (6)

Washington (21)

Wisconsin (3)

The vast majority of 841 are Sunni Muslims!

Of the 841 admitted this fiscal year, here is the breakdown of the others: Catholic (3), Christian (1), Greek Orthodox (1), Orthodox (2), and other religion (1).
They have a long way to reach Obama’s goal of 10,000 mostly Muslim Syrians by Sept. 30th!

Senate Homeland Security Committee worries about Canada's Syrian refugee flood

02/03/2016 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

The plan by new Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau foresees 25,000 Syrian refugees to arrive in Canada by the end of the month. US Senators worry that they cannot be thoroughly vetted and ask that since we share an over 5,000 mile border could the massive influx pose security threats for us?
The Committee will hold a hearing this morning at 10 a.m. (see here).
Here is the news at Channel News Asia:

WASHINGTON/OTTAWA: Canada is proceeding with plans to take in 25,000 Syrian refugees, but the country’s background-vetting programme is under scrutiny by a U.S. congressional panel, with a hearing set for Wednesday, amid lawmaker concerns about U.S. security.

The Senate Homeland Security Committee has questions about the Ottawa government’s intake of refugees by the end of February and the possibility that violent militants could mix in and cross the long, largely porous U.S.-Canada border.

At the public hearing, senators will question U.S. and Canadian experts and a U.S. Border Patrol officer on Canada’s “fast track” resettlement programme. Canada’s government turned down an invitation to send a spokesperson to the session.

“We have been in frequent touch with members of the U.S. administration who are satisfied with what we are doing … if the U.S. Senate wants to engage in these activities, that is their right, of course,” John McCallum, Canada’s immigration minister, told reporters on Tuesday.

Initial inquiries show Canada’s background checks on refugees are less rigorous than the 18- to 24-month vettings done by U.S. authorities before letting any Syrian refugee set foot on American soil, congressional aides said.

Canada’s new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has already delayed his government’s program. It had targeted resettlement of the 25,000 by the end of 2015. Now the target is February.

By the way, Canada’s plan could affect states like Montana that share long borders with our neighbor to the north.
We have a huge archive on Canada, this is our 170th post on their problems with refugees. Click here. Be sure to note that Trudeau was at Davos recently with the other globalists.

Idaho citizens defeat proposed resolution in support of refugees

01/22/2016 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Increasingly city and county governments are making themselves heard on the issue of UN/US State Department refugee resettlement for their communities. We told you here recently about Craven Co. North Carolina considering a resolution opposing more refugees. And, then here in Montana, the Missoula County Commission opened the door for the resettlement of third-worlders from the Middle East and Africa.
In Idaho, a heated public meeting of the Sandpoint City Council in Bonner County in the far northern reaches of the state resulted in the withdrawal of a resolution to support refugee resettlement to the community.

The federal government and their paid resettlement contractors (listed here) will be quick to say that local governments have no right to say whether refugees are seeded there or not. However, they do frequently say they will not place refugees where the refugees would be “unwelcome”
If Congress was doing its job there would be a major movement to rewrite the Refugee Act of 1980 (or scrap it all together) in order to give local communities a say in what happens to their counties, cities and towns. I predict there will be increasing tension in towns across America on the controversial issue.
And, it’s not just about the prospect that Islamic terrorists might be in the refugee stream, there are very serious economic costs involved as refugees (as a special immigrant class) are able to access most forms of welfare available only to American citizens. They also add to the shortage of low income housing often pushing poor and disabled Americans to the back of the line.
From Boise Weekly:

Sandpoint City Council members voted Wednesday night to withdraw a resolution supporting refugee resettlement, bringing an end to a heated, month-long controversy.

Cheers erupted from the audience when newly elected Sandpoint Mayor Shelby Rognstad asked the council to withdraw the resolution from consideration. A measure meant to counter statements from Bonner County commissioners and Sheriff Darryl Wheeler opposing the resettlement of refugees, the resolution was intended to restate Sandpoint’s commitments to human rights, according to Rognstad.

“This resolution has only served to divide us and this community,” said Rognstad, as he requested the withdrawal. “That saddens me.”

Once again, anti-refugee activists turned out in force to oppose the resolution and, once again, the council meeting procedure was punctured by applause and shouts. When Rognstad called for order, the crowd responded with catcalls.

There is much more, continue reading here.
We have an extensive archive on Idaho, learn more by clicking here. Both Boise and Twin Falls are already large resettlement sites.
Be sure to learn more about Jan Reeves who is responsible for refugees going to Idaho. He was a 2013 Obama Champion of Change, see here.

‘Humanitarianism’ is a cover for big business drivers of more immigration.

For citizens of Idaho and everywhere being confronted with this issue, please be sure to investigate and find out what large industries are driving the resettlement where you live. Big business including BIG MEAT, Chobani Yogurt, and other manufacturing companies are looking for cheap immigrant labor and the federal resettlement contractors act as ‘head hunters’ for them.
The big business pays low wages and the remainder of the refugee family’s support comes from the taxpayer via welfare, education and medical care.
Also, find out which elected officials are receiving campaign donations from those companies. Expose them!

So-called 'Unaccompanied alien children' numbers are on target to surpass Invasion 2014

01/18/2016 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

We told you yesterday at American Resistance 2016! that the Obama Administration is ILLEGALLY expanding the Refugee Admissions Program and we urge members of Congress to get on the stick to stop them! Where are you Trey Gowdy?

UAC Brownsville — From Brownsville, TX in 2014. Are they gearing up for a new wave in 2016? Photo: http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2014/06/05/leaked-images-reveal-children-warehoused-in-crowded-us-cells-border-patrol-overwhelmed/

But, even as Obama’s State Department seeks to involve the United Nations in choosing Central Americans (and not just the ‘children’ now but whole families) as ‘refugees’ destined for your towns, the southern border invasion of illegals is underway and if the rate of arrival for the first three months of FY2016 continues throughout the fiscal year, 2016 will see an even greater arrival rate than the disastrous 2014 summer!

For new readers: our interest in the Unaccompanied Minors issue is because some of the same federal resettlement contractors that resettle refugees get paid to take care of the ‘children’ too. We have a very large archive going back many years on the issue. Since they were originally referred to as ‘Unaccompanied Minors’ that is how those posts are archived here.

Here is a press release from the US Customs and Border Protection website that must have been released since January 1 (but I see no date). It begins:

“Out of an abundance of caution, the Office of Refugee Resettlement at HHS has begun a process to expand its temporary capacity to house unaccompanied children. This is a prudent step to ensure that the Border Patrol can continue its vital national security mission to prevent illegal migration, trafficking, and protect the borders of the United States.

As we have highlighted over the last few months, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) have noted an increase in the number of unaccompanied children (UAC) and family units apprehended along the southwest border. The entire administration has been closely monitoring these current trends and coordinating across the whole of government to ensure an effective response to any changes in migration flows.

That is a stunning downplay of the numbers they then present!

Scroll down to the tables and see especially this one:

Numbers below reflect Fiscal Years 2009-2015, FY 2016 (October 1, 2015 – December 31, 2015)

Note that the last number (for 2016) reflects ONLY three months (from Oct. 1 through Dec. 31), the first three months of FY2016. Let’s take Guatemala for instance: 17,057 illegal aliens arrived in the US in the whole of FY2014, yet in the FIRST THREE MONTHS of FY2016, 6,474 have already arrived. That is one quarter of the fiscal year. Do the math! If that rate continues, over 25,000 will arrive in FY2016 from Guatemala alone!
Check the numbers for the three Central American countries and see that the numbers could be greater in 2016 than in 2014. No wonder the Obama Administration has announced its new illegal expansion of the Refugee Admissions Program! Are they desperate to head off the new invasion in this all important Presidential election year?
