Good ol’ Joe: I have a great relationship with Somali cabbies in Wilmington

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment
I am so cool, I have Somali friends! And, there are an awful lot of them!

Update February 19th:  O.K. Delaware residents can rest easy today.  Fact checkers give ol’ Joe four pinocchios when they couldn’t find a single Somali cab driver in Wilmington.  And it is no wonder because you can count on two hands (at most!) the number of refugees resettled in Delaware every year!

Update February 18th:  I see this morning that Joe’s Somali comments are being reported widely as somehow another of Biden’s racial gaffs, however, not one of the reports I have seen have made the connection that Somalis are in America thanks to Biden, Kennedy and Jimmy Carter when they opened widely the refugee pipeline to America in 1980!

It is so scary to realize who we have running our government with Obama not seeing the exponentially growing worldwide trend of Islamic brutality, and now here is VP Joe Biden telling us about his new found pals in the Wilmington, Delaware Somali ‘community.’

Of course this is on the eve of the sure-to-be-wimpy ‘Countering Violent Extremism’ pow-wow that will probably gloss over the problems emanating from the Somali ‘community’ of Minneapolis where since at least late 2007 Somali ‘youths’ we gave refuge to have said s**** you America and have headed off to jihad training around the world.

And, probably poor ol’ Joe hasn’t made the connection that he and his former Democratic mob boss in the Senate—Sen. Ted Kennedy, authors of the Refugee Act of 1980—are responsible for the growing Somali community in Wilmington and across the country.

You know what is funny?—Delaware has only ever resettled a tiny number of refugees (did Joe make sure that the number stayed small?).  But, these Somalis are secondary migrants who were resettled elsewhere in America and are now spreading out (colonizing!) as the Islamic Doctrine of Immigration tells them to do and Joe’s hometown is fair game!

LOL!  I bet Joe is popular with them because they know exactly what they are doing to America and Joe hasn’t a clue (kind of like when some kids play a trick on a doddering old man)!

From the Business Insider (hat tip: Robin):

Vice President Joe Biden says he’s quite popular with the Somali community of Wilmington, Delaware. If you want proof, he suggests you should talk to some local cab drivers.

“If you ever come to the train station with me, you’ll notice that I have great relationships with them because there’s an awful lot of them driving cabs and are friends of mine. For real,” Biden said Tuesday at a summit on violent extremism, according to video posted by The Washington Post.

Biden made his remarks while noting the large number of East African immigrants in Minnesota.

“In Minneapolis-€“Saint Paul, we’re working to build relationships with the East African immigrants who have made your city their home. As the same folks, Somalis, who have made made my city of Wilmington, Delaware, [their home] on a smaller scale,” he said. “It’s a large, very identifiable Somali community.”

For new readers:  The US State Department, thanks to former Senator and now VP Biden, has resettled well over 100,000 Somalis to America in the last couple of decades—last year the number bumped up to 9,000!   There had been a little slowdown starting in 2008 when the State Department discovered the massive fraud perpetrated by mostly Somalis claiming they were related to Somalis who got in previously.  A moratorium on family reunification was in place for several years.

After promising 9,000-10,000 Syrian refugees this year, US State Department revises numbers downward

For months, State Department spokesmen (we will bring as many as our Iraqi commitment—20,000? a year) and women (processing 5,000 now, 10,000 plus annually going forward) have been bragging that finally the US was in high gear to start resettling the thousands of mostly Muslim Syrian refugees that the UN has chosen for us.

State Department Spokeswoman Jen Psaki putting a happy face on the announcement that the US must necessarily revise downward its Syrian refugee admission predictions.

Well, this is embarrassing, they are now saying maybe 2,000 tops! this year. The UN and the resettlement contractors*** must be hopping mad!

However, to listen to State Department daily briefer Psaki, you wouldn’t know that just a couple of days ago the FBI testified in Congress that THEY CANNOT PROPERLY VET SYRIAN REFUGEES BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION ON THEM.  See our post here yesterday.

From PJ Media yesterday:

The State Department said the number of refugees admitted from Syria is expected to increase despite concern voice in a House Homeland Security hearing this week that the program is a “huge mistake.”

Press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that 524 Syrians have been admitted as refugees since the uprising against Bashar Assad’s regime began in 2011.

“We’re likely to admit 1,000 to 2,000 Syrian refugees for permanent resettlement in fiscal year 2015 and a somewhat higher number that is still in the low thousands in fiscal year 2016,” she said. “I don’t have anymore details on where. There’s obviously an entire process that is undergone.”

Psaki defended the process as keeping in standing with the United States’ “long tradition of welcoming refugees, many of whom have fled unspeakable horrors and persecution.”

“There has been longstanding bipartisan support for this in Congress. And certainly I think if we look at the crisis in Syria and the unspeakable horrors that many people in that country have gone through, what many people have called for is support for more refugees, which certainly we are open to,” she added.

Refugees are admitted “in a way that is safe and consistent with our national security interests” in a process that “can take months, if not longer.”

They want you to think it is safe anyway!

*** Contractors:

 

US lacks intel to adequately screen Syrian refugees (no kidding!)

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

While I was distracted over the last two days (here), some of our readers were on top of the news.  Thanks to reader Joanne for spotting this story about why the Syrian refugee flow to America is only a trickle.  I am still puzzled why the UN and its “humanitarian” cheering squad are not squawking at Obama over the hold-up as they went absolutely nuts when George Bush did the same thing in his Presidency about Iraqis.

So, when Asst. Secretary of State Anne Richard went to Berlin recently and made promises, she jumped the gun?

By the way, the foolish German government says Germany will take 30,000 Syrians!  (can anyone say “death wish!”)

From Newsmax:

Michael Steinbach, assistant director of the Counterterrorism Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)

 US authorities are facing a difficult task screening Syrian refugees for potential extremists because of a shortage of intelligence from the war-torn country, officials told lawmakers Wednesday.

Michael Steinbach, assistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, said the US government had data and intelligence to draw on when it performed background checks on refugees from Iraq in recent years but in the case of Syria, there was “a lack of information.”

“The difference is, in Iraq, we were there on the ground collecting, so we had databases to use,” Steinbach told the House Homeland Security Committee. [And they still let in the Kentucky Iraqi refugee terrorists!—ed]

“The concern is in Syria, the lack of our footprint on the ground in Syria, that the databases won’t have the information we need,” he said.

“You are talking about a country that is a failed state, that does not have any infrastructure so to speak, ” he said.

Washington has decided to let in more Syrians displaced by the civil war and announced plans in December to review about 9,000 refugee cases referred by the UN refugee agency.

US officials told AFP on Wednesday that nearly 11,000 cases referred by the UNHCR will be examined. [Once again an admission that the UN is picking our refugees!—ed]

[….]

Lawmakers at the hearing voiced dismay at the possibility that some of the male refugees heading to America could be potential jihadists.

The US was already working to stop foreign fighters from returning to America and admitting large numbers of refugees “would be a federally sanctioned welcome party, if you will, to potential terrorists in the United States,” said Michael McCaul, Republican chairman of the committee.

Such a move would be a “huge mistake,” he said.

Here is a thought to solve the problem and keep us safe—stop all Muslim migration to America starting with the large numbers of Muslim refugees we are resettling in 180 cities across the country!

RRW does Fox and Friends this morning….

Yesterday I got a call from Fox asking me to appear on Fox & Friends today and I agreed.  It was a first for me.  I realized how hard it is to say much in a few minutes.   Here is the clip of my interview (thanks to our friend Brenda Walker at Limits to Growth who posted it).

http://video.foxnews.com/v/4048062668001/new-plan-allows-relatives-of-illegal-immigrants-to-enter-us/?playlist_id=940325739001#sp=show-clips

Asked what my biggest problem with the expansion is, this is what I said:

My biggest problem is the lawlessness coming from the White House on this particular issue. I followed the refugee program for the last seven years; this is a major jump in expansion of the program. I also think that immigration is our existential threat in this country, both the numbers and who we are bringing in.

We previously reported on the Obama Administration’s expansion of the refugee program, by magically transforming poor kids in three Central American countries into “persecuted” refugees, here and here.

Tomorrow we promise to be back to our normal posting schedule.

Obama expands refugee program with plan for Central American children

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

And their children and their children!

The “children” won’t need to ride in on top of a train. We will be flying them in just as we do refugees from around the world. http://www.tucsonweekly.com/TheRange/archives/2015/02/09/immigration-officials-announce-an-in-country-refugee-parole-program-for-central-american-minors

Neil Munro at The Daily Caller today reported on the expansion of refugee resettlement to include what essentially involves the US State Department going to three Central American countries and bringing back the “kids.”

Oh, yeh, they say their “legal” parent in the US has to apply for them, but effectively we are picking them up.   And, the contractor racket continues because applications can only be filed with refugee contractors listed here.

The Daily Caller quotes us:

President Obama’s new border security plan is being expanded to allow illegals in the United States to bring their children, their adult children, their grandchildren and even step-parents into the United States.

Obama is opening “a whole new pipeline for legal migration,” said Ann Corcoran, editor of Refugee Resettlement Watch. Once the new program is established, future officials can expand it to include more economic migrants from more poor countries, she told The Daily Caller.

I’m asked all the time, what can be done?  This is pretty much it:

The program is being run in cooperation with federal contractors, such as Catholic Charities, said Corcoran. Those contractors will lobby Congress to keep the program funded until the public elects pro-American legislators to Congress, she said.

Ethnic groups will also support the program, partly because it allows new economic migrants quick access to the many federal welfare and aid programs that are normally off-limits to illegal immigrants.  [They want to be declared “refugees” to get the welfare goodies! The kid will anchor the whole family!—ed]

I’ve been writing about the ‘Invasion of Europe,’ but sad to say, we are there now too!  The Invasion of America is well underway. Can we stop it in time?

Our previous post on Obama opening the “refugee” flood gates for the “children” is here.

If you wonder why government leaders in those countries (which will be losing their children) don’t seem to care if the next generation is leaving, it is because of remittances baby!  They want the money, money, money the migrants send home.

***Update***  International Business Times mentions RRW too, here.
