Bowling Green, KY: More confirmation that refugee resettlement is not about humanitarianism, but about supplying cheap labor

08/19/2016 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

I had plenty of confirmation on my recent 30-day swing through cities and towns of the west and mid-west that it is industries looking to boost their bottom lines that drive most refugee resettlement in America.
It is food processing/meat packing, manufacturing, and the hotel industry that have discovered they can enjoy the cheap labor (while refugees continue to bolster their income with welfare*** of all sorts) at the expense of the US taxpayer and at the expense of the cultural and social upheaval communities experience.

Here is one more piece of news to support what I have been saying for years. And, remember as you read this that Bowling Green is Senator Rand Paul’s home town.
At one time, Paul was questioning the UN/US State Dept. Refugee Admissions Program. That was in the wake of the arrests and ultimate conviction of two Iraqi refugees found to be terrorists living and working there (so much for security screening!). He is nowhere to be seen on the issue now.
I want to urge all of you, as you to do your research on your refugee overloaded city (or city about to become a ‘welcoming’ city), to research the campaign contributions of your elected officials right down to the local mayor and council level. Find out their business connections and expose them!
And, don’t allow yourselves to get bogged down by the open borders Left trying to tell you that the driver for the seeding of your towns with diversity is a humanitarian desire to help the downtrodden of the world (tell them to help our own poor people first!).
From the Bowling Green Daily News (hat tip: Robin). What! Kentucky has no more Americans who want jobs?
You should know that the International Center is a subcontractor of USCRI, that is the same federal contractor working in Twin Falls, Idaho and wishing to start an office in Rutland, VT and Reno, NV.

Resettled refugees are being sought at a greater frequency to fill local jobs, Chris Kantosky, chief operations officer of The International Center of Kentucky told the Barren River Area Development District board on Wednesday.

“There are 650 open manufacturing jobs in Warren County alone,” Kantosky said. The International Center also has worked to help fill a 75-job need in Barren County, and within two weeks 50 of the jobs were filled by refugees, he said.

“They are coming to Bowling Green and Warren County because we have jobs, a great educational system, a low cost of living, the community is safe and there is an opportunity to excel,” said Kantosky, who has been working with refugees for the past 26 years.

[….]

A one-time allocation of $1,125 federal funds per refugee, or about $5,600 for a family, is used to finance resettlement logistics. The money needs to be spent in about 30 days to buy everything from a clock radio to beds, furniture and food to outfit the apartment selected for the refugees to stay. By the time the individuals reach the Nashville International Airport from their home country, they are a car ride away from a hot meal in their new home.

What Mr. Kantosky isn’t telling you in the previous paragraph is that his agency gets approximately another $1000 per head to spend on themselves!
Now this is incredible. I knew the contractors sat around in DC and divvied up the refugees as they came in (LOL! I envision many squabbles as they bid for bodies! But, has it come to this—a lottery!). So where are the real reporters at places like the New York Times and Washington Post—why aren’t you demanding entry to the weekly lottery meeting! I would like to know if any industry lobbyists are in those weekly meetings!
Bowling Green News continues:

Refugee resettlement locations are determined by a weekly lottery in the nation’s capital. “A refugee can only go back to their home country if their country is re-stabilized,” Kantosky said.

And, about this bit about not going home—many refugees who get here are unhappy and want to go home, but they are trapped because most can’t afford the airfare home. This is the part of this program that makes many of us think about slave labor!
Click here to see our extensive archive on Bowling Green and the many problems they have had there over the years in addition to the Islamic terror scare a few years ago. And, mosques are springing up everywhere to accommodate the growing Muslim refugee population.
***Most refugees are on welfare of some sort which makes anyone who employs them eligible for the federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit. An employer thus has a greater incentive to hire a refugee than some American who is struggling, but doesn’t want to be on welfare (including food stamps). A refugee’s salary is subsidized by the US taxpayer, while an average American’s job isn’t. I’ve wondered if Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was somehow involved in creating this system.
Any ambitious researchers out there who would like to dig deeper into this program which incentivizes hiring refugees and write a guest post, let me know! refugeewatcher@gmail.com

Polls: Most Americans do not want Obama to bring in Syrians and distribute them around the US

08/18/2016 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Donald Trump must continue to hammer this issue—the American people do not want to pay for, or worry about their security as the Obama Administration is nearly its goal of admitting 10,000 Syrian Muslims to the US by September 30th.
And, for those of you who think that will be it, it won’t be as Obama and Hillary are gearing up to make 2017 an even bigger year for bringing the third world to your town.
Before I give you this latest poll news, I need to make sure you all understand something that even I wasn’t fully wrapping my mind around. Although we write frequently about the 190 or so US resettlement offices (see list here), refugee placement is not restricted to the town where the contractor’s office is located, but in fact refugees are distributed in 100 mile radius circles around those offices and thus I will bet Syrians and other refugees (Somalis, Burmese Rohingya, Iraqis etc.) have been settled in thousands of American small towns over the years.
map Syrians this fiscal year
I just checked the US State Department data base (Refugee Processing Center) and see that 184 cities and towns (map: 38 states) have received Syrians in the last 11 months.
Here is the polling information from the World Tribune:

Americans are overwhelmingly against accepting a wave of Syrian refugees into the country, a new poll found.

Just 36 percent of U.S. voters support allowing the refugees to enter, according to a Chicago Council on Global Affairs poll released on Aug. 15.

The Obama administration is close to reaching its goal of allowing 10,000 Syrian refugees into the U.S. by the end of September.

Anne Richard, assistant secretary of state for the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, said earlier this month that 8,000 Syrians have already been re-settled.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has pledged to increase the number of Syrian refugees coming to the U.S.

Hillary Clinton: U.S. should take 65,000 Syrian refugees

The media has been mum about it, but a wise Trump campaign should find Hillary’s declaration last fall on Face the Nation and play it over and over again!

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Sunday that the United States should accept 65,000 refugees from Syria to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis created by the war there.

Here is my post on what she said. She was following the lead of the United Nations and the Senate Jihad Caucus (pushed by the resettlement contractors!) which called for 65,000 before Obama leaves office. See my June 2015 explanation (below) about where Hillary got the number 65,000! By the way, look for Obama’s even larger number at the UN pow wow in September.
My message is more urgent today than it was in June 2015!

Welcoming refugees? Will lawyers descend on your school system next?

08/17/2016 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Update August 19: “Not the school I deserve,” said refugee. Here.

This is a lesson for every town contemplating becoming a “welcoming” refugee resettlement site.

Are you listening Rutland, VT, Aberdeen, SD, Reno, NV, Missoula, MT, Charleston, WV and Fayetteville, Arkansas?
This news comes to us from “welcoming” Lancaster, PA (btw, it is in Lancaster that I first heard citizens, who asked questions about refugee impact, described as being in “pockets of resistance!”)

“Enriching us all” or is it bankrupting us all?

Apparently the Lancaster school system sought to deal with older, non-English speaking, refugees by placing them in an alternative school system, but lawyers for the ACLU and others will have none of it. So now the school district there will be in court all week defending their decision at taxpayer expense.
And, so much for your American kids getting a good education!
From Newsworks:

As many as 700 refugees are resettled each year in Lancaster, a high number for the city’s population. [This will happen to your town! Once they get a foothold the original 50 or 100 become 200, 500, 700 in one year!—ed]

Four of them are spending today in court, where they’ll testify in a lawsuit against the School District of Lancaster.

The suit alleges the district’s breaking the law by refusing to admit older teen refugees or automatically diverting them to an accelerated credit program. There, the case claims, they get an education inferior to what’s available at the local public high school (particularly when it comes to English language instruction.)

But attorney Sharon O’Donnell, who’s representing the school, says “the bottom line is whether the court can tell the [Lancaster] school board where to place students.”

Pennsylvania school code says residents between 6 and 21 years old are entitled to a free public education. At least one international treaty, the U.N.’s 1951 Refugee Convention, requires refugees to get the same public education as residents of countries where they’re resettled. [So we are being told that a UN treaty could govern our local school board decisions!—ed]

The lawsuit also alleges civil rights and federal Equal Educational Opportunities Act violations by the school, which O’Donnell refuted in recent court filings.

[….]

The lawsuit in Pennsylvania is similar to others filed in Florida and settled in New York this spring, and comes as refugee resettlement is expected to continue to rise.

[….]

The lawsuit’s being brought by a total of six student refugees, represented by a team of lawyers. Aside from Rothschild, they’re from the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia-based Education Law Center.

This is all the more reason to tell your Congressmen and Senators NO! when Obama wants more tax dollars next month.

Refugee industry goes in to high gear for Obama/UN big show; what do you do?

08/17/2016 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Yesterday we told you about the August 28th rally (the warm-up act) in Washington, DC to gin up media for the refugee industry as it pushes into the critical month of September and wants to be sure the money will be flowing their way to distribute larger than ever numbers of impoverished and questionably vetted refugees to your towns and cities.
(For new readers, the resettlement contractors*** are paid by the head to seed refugees, chosen by the UN, throughout America! They can’t do their work without YOUR money!)

summit_image_slider_graphic_0 — Deciding your town’s future at the United Nations!

Also, in September, Obama will send his last ‘determination’ to Congress on how many refugees we will take in FY2017.
Congress can decide to fund those numbers or not!
We can certainly blame lame duck Obama, but the real pressure must be on your Members of Congress!

The big propaganda show itself will occur at the United Nations on September 19th and 20th.

Here is the information released by the United Nations:

The UN General Assembly will host a high-level summit to address large movements of refugees and migrants, with the aim of bringing countries together behind a more humane and coordinated approach.

This is the first time the General Assembly has called for a summit at the Heads of State and Government level on large movements of refugees and migrants and it is a historic opportunity to come up with a blueprint for a better international response. It is a watershed moment to strengthen governance of international migration and a unique opportunity for creating a more responsible, predictable system for responding to large movements of refugees and migrants.

When and where?

It will be an all day event on Monday 19 September 2016 at the UNHQ in New York.

[….]

Is there a related event on 20 September 2016?

Also on the margins of the General Assembly, on 20 September 2016, the United States President Obama is hosting the Leaders’ Summit on Refugees, alongside co-hosts Canada, Ethiopia, Germany, Jordan, Mexico and Sweden, which will appeal to governments to pledge significant new commitments on refugees. While the Leaders’ Summit will focus on refugees, not migrants, the General Assembly High-Level Summit will address large movements of both. The two events will complement one another.

Will you let the United Nations change your American towns?

For all of you working hard to save your towns (and I’ve met many of you on my swing through the heartland over the last month), this is it! You have to direct all of your efforts from now and through September at pounding Congress on this issue. Use the problems you are having where you live as the inspiration and the catalyst for your anger.
Your member is still at home until after Labor Day (see calendar). Find them in their districts! Tell them what you think! Tell your Senators too!
And, while you are directing your community organizing (yes, you are community organizers!) to halt all of the funding for the UN/US State Department Refugee Admissions Program, you must work to get Hillary defeated.
This UN stunt is geared to help Hillary! Obama and the United Nations are counting on a Clinton presidency to continue (and expand!) the work they are beginning on August 28th!
Note to all I talked to in my travels, you still need to work locally to regain control at your local elected official level and get rid of some the mayors who have been ‘captured,’ but at this moment there is only one major goal…

….don’t let Congress fund Obama’s 2017 resettlement goal which surely will come in at the 100,000 to 200,000 level.

***These are the federal resettlement contractors. Is your church working with the UN and being paid with taxpayer dollars to bring poverty and poorly screened refugees to your town? Time to speak up on Sundays (by the way, evangelicals are not off the hook because World Relief is an evangelical organization!) So-called religious charities are in red.

Drudge headline: Soros promoting worldwide refugee crisis as "new normal"

08/16/2016 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Invasion of Europe news……

We have been writing about George Soros’ role for years in directing and manipulating the worldwide refugee crisis, but now thanks to leaked e-mails (and one important memo, so far) we are seeing the extent of it. Soros is a power-hungry one-worlder who also likes money and I feel some sympathy for the refugees who are used as pawns and the naive do-gooders who think his interest and greedy global corporations’ interests are driven by humanitarianism. What a joke!

Jonathan-Soros-David-Miliband-and-George-Soros.jpg&MaxW=640&q=100 — George Soros (right) getting an award from the International Rescue Committee (David Miliband center). The IRC is one of the nine major US refugee resettlement contractors. On the left is Soros’ son Jonathan. Soros as you know is a Hillary pal.

Here is the breaking news today at Drudge (from the Daily Caller):

A leaked memo from left-wing financier George Soros’s Open Society Foundations argues that Europe’s refugee crisis should be accepted as a “new normal,” and that the refugee crisis means “new opportunities” for Soros’ organization to influence immigration policies on a global scale.

OSF program officer Anna Crowley and program specialist Katin Rosin co-authored the May 12 memo, titled “Migration Governance and Enforcement Portfolio Review.” The memo focuses on an OSF program called the International Migration Initiative, which aims to influence immigration policy.

The nine-page review makes three key points: OSF — which doles out millions to left-wing causes — has been successful at influencing global immigration policy; Europe’s refugee crisis presents “new opportunities” for the organization to influence global immigration policy; and the refugee crisis is the “new normal.”

There is also a story at Breitbart, here, about Soros’ role in helping to improve the image of Somalis throughout Europe.
Click here for some of our earlier posts where we wrote about Soros’ advocacy work in Norway, Finland and Sweden on behalf of Somalis.
There is more here about other mega-wealthy businessmen who are in Soros’ camp looking to assure the free flow of cheap labor across borders everywhere. Their only impediment is you!
About the photo! Just think about it, those creeps (yes creeps) including David Miliband, the former BRITISH foreign secretary, are deciding the future of American states like Montana! (The IRC is about to open an office in Missoula.)
There is only one way to begin to try to save America from the inevitable fate facing Europe—help Donald Trump become the next President of the United States.
