Three articles at WND on migrant crisis in Europe and spillover to the US; is it time to demand a moratorium?

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Leo Hohmann at World Net Daily has been doing the best, most detailed, work by far of any American journalist in chronicling the actions of the US Refugee Admissions Program with a critical eye.  Checking our archives I see that we have posts about Hohmann’s indepth research into the UN-driven refugee program beginning at least as early as the summer of 2014.

A petition making the rounds very reasonably demands that decisions to resettle refugees in American towns must involve local citizens in the decision-making process. As of this morning 2,351 of you have signed it. In light of the news coming from Europe in just the last few days, and that the push is on for an astounding number of Syrian Muslims to be admitted to the US beginning 4 weeks from now–65,000-100,000!–maybe it is a moratorium we should be demanding! Are we being too nice, too reasonable in the face of a death blow to America which is what 65,000 would be? http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/no-refugee-resettlement-without-local-ok.html

This past week he produced three articles which easily serve as tutorials on what is happening in Europe as the invasion there reaches new and frightening heights and links it to activities in the US in certain ‘pockets of resistance’ where citizens are demanding and expecting answers about what the federal government and its nine hand-picked resettlement contractors (which monopolize all decisions in the US on refugees) have planned for your towns.
I urge all of you, especially new readers, to read all three important pieces, at least one of which was featured on the Drudge Report.  Then sign the petition. ***Update*** in addition to Hohmann’s reports urging readers to sign the petition, I see an American Thinker writer is also urging readers to sign, here.
Because Hohmann has written extensively on the topic, each article links back to previous news and thus is very useful to new readers who want to quickly catch up on the issue of the century!   Why do I say that?  Because what we (and Europe) do about migration right now will determine whether Western Civilization lives or dies—it is that simple.
As they say, we are blessed to live in interesting times.
Read these three articles at World Net Daily:

Muslim hordes causing chaos in Europe

Hungary-style refugee invasion fears in US

ISIS Smuggler: “We will use refugee crisis to infiltrate the West”

Petitions!

The resettlement contractors started a White House petition (less than a week ago) urging Obama to admit 65,000 Syrians to the US in FY2016.  They have 35,477 signatures to date! (how many Syrians and others in the Middle East have signed?)
Just a reminder! Of the thousand or so Syrians we have admitted to the US in 2015, 97% are Muslims (data at the US State Department).  That number will not change much going forward because the UNHCR is picking our refugees from their camps housing Muslim, mostly Sunni, Syrians!   We are not saving the Christians! 
And, I see they have a new petition posted Thursday to lift the ceiling from the usual 70,000 refugees a year from all countries to 140,000 for FY2016 (which begins in 4 weeks).

Is it time for us to start using the ‘M’ word—moratorium!—because our national security is at risk!

Martin O'Malley on the bandwagon: US should take 65,000 Syrians in 2016

Martin O'Malley
As Mayor of Baltimore, O’Malley encouraged diversity as thousands of impoverished refugees were deposited there among Baltimore’s American minority poor. https://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/2015/05/03/baltimore-thousands-of-impoverished-refugees-poured-into-city-in-last-ten-years-fuel-for-the-fire/

It has really been an unbelievable thing to watch—how Leftist politicians the world over are falling all over themselves to invite mostly Muslim Syrians (no mention of the persecuted Christians by O’Malley, or any of them for that matter!) to permanently move into western countries and American communities.
Here (at CNN) former Open Borders Governor of Maryland and 2016 Democrat Presidential candidate Martin O’Malley sings the 65,000 Syrians song.  He was moved he said by the now discredited propaganda story of the dead toddler on the beach (facts be damned!).

Washington (CNN) Martin O’Malley wants the U.S. to welcome at least 65,000 Syrian refugees by the end of 2016.

“I support the call from humanitarian and refugee organizations for the United States to accept at least 65,000 Syrian refugees next year,” he said in a statement Friday. “If Germany — a country with one-fourth our population — can accept 800,000 refugees this year, certainly we — the nation of immigrants and refugees — can do more.”

Syrian refugees are flooding Europe following the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Syrians due to ethnic violence in the Middle East. The migrant crisis has engulfed Europe, leading many to ask whether the U.S. would take refugees from the continued fighting in Syria.

O’Malley said the number of refugees the U.S. is scheduled to accept next year is insufficient.

Amazing to watch.  All reason is thrown to the wind. I always wonder if there were Romans who saw the fall of Rome on the horizon.

NY Times notices Senate "jihadi caucus" promoting large scale Syrian resettlement

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

I love it!  Apparently we did have an impact by getting a response out quickly when 14 US Senators we dubbed the “Jihad Caucus” wrote to Obama demanding he open America’s doors to 65,000! (mostly Muslim) Syrians.

Amy Klobuchar
Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar is a member in good standing to the Senate Jihad Caucus promoting the resettlement of 65,000 (mostly Muslim!) Syrians to the US in 2016!

Here is the NY Times yesterday, but of course they don’t link where they got that phrase (“jihadi caucus”) here, and they don’t mention who the critics are or quote any of us!  Why? I believe it is because the NYT doesn’t want more Americans to find us!:

WASHINGTON — In late spring, with the war in Syria grinding into its fifth year amid an ever-deepening humanitarian catastrophe for millions of refugees, 14 United States senators wrote a letter to President Obama urging that at least 65,000 of the displaced Syrians be allowed to resettle in the United States.

Critics denounced the idea, saying it would open the nation’s borders to potential terrorists, and some even branded the authors of the letter as the “jihadi caucus.”

Uh! Oh!  Watch for Obama announcement when Pope is in town (September 23rd!).  Remember this Pope effectively invited the invaders to Italy, here. Remind me! How many are housed at the Vatican? And, one of the nine major resettlement contractors is the US Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Within the Obama administration there has been intense discussion about additional action, including the possibility of a major announcement tied to Pope Francis’ visit to Washington this month. But beyond providing additional funds, experts on refugee issues say, the United States’ options are limited.

No mention that it was the Refugee Council USA that got that letter put together and are mentioned in it.  RCUSA is the contractors’ lobbying arm in Washington.  Klobuchar talks like it was something she thought of all by herself.

Senator Amy Klobuchar, Democrat of Minnesota, who signed the letter urging Mr. Obama to accept more Syrian refugees, said there was little attention then, other than from critics, but that the photographs of recent days seemed to raise awareness.

[….]

Eric P. Schwartz, a former assistant secretary of state for population, refugees and migration, who is now dean of the Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota, said presidential leadership would help drive public response.

[….]

Increasing the number of Syrians granted asylum by 50,000 on an emergency basis would also help, he said, by sending “an extremely powerful signal to Europe and to the world.”

Schwartz, also a protege’ of George Soros is Anne Richard’s predecessor and was Obama’s first pick to head the refugee effort in the US State Department when he took office in 2009.  You can learn all about “one-worlder” Schwartz by clicking here.
So, not surprisingly, the NYT reporter, DAVID M. HERSZENHORN, has interviewed a tight little circle, all of whom are orchestrating the push to admit 65,000 Syrians to the US, but quotes none of the critics—typical!
Below for your amusement are the 14 Members of the Senate Jihad Caucus led by Senators Dick Durban (D-IL) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN):

Al Franken (D-MN)

Patrick Leahy (D-VT)

Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)

Patty Murray (D-WA)

Robert Menendez (D-NJ)

Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)

Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH)

Christopher Coons (D-DE)  LOL! Delaware hasn’t taken a refugee in a couple of years!

Tim Kaine (D-VA)

Edward Markey (D-MA)

Sherrod Brown (D-OH)

Mazie Hirono (D-HI)  LOL! Last I looked Hawaii took a whole 7 refugees last year!

 

Lutherans call for 200,000 refugees to be admitted to US in 2016 including 100,000 Syrians

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

A reader has just alerted us to yet another federal refugee contractor, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS), one-upping the other two contractors we have reported on, here and here both demanding that Obama admit 65,000 Syrians in FY2016.  We thought those were outrageous demands!

Linda-Hartke-square-headshot-for-blog1-290x300
Linda Hartke, CEO of LIRS, sent out the urgent e-mail to their members. LIRS is approximately 97% funded with your tax dollars! https://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/2015/01/16/how-much-of-your-tax-dollars-are-the-federal-refugee-resettlement-contractors-receiving/

But get this…..
LIRS wants 100,000 Syrians!  Either they are completely insane or they know Obama is on the edge and needs a little push! Maybe if they say 100,000, Obama will settle for 65,000!
Here is what our reader says was in his e-mail alert:

“Refugees fleeing Syria need you.

I am asking you to join us with three simple actions that can make a real difference:

Act – In response to this global refugee crisis, the largest since World War II, you can urge the President and Congress to increase the annual refugee admissions goal, or “Presidential Determination” from the 2015 number of 70,000 to 200,000 for 2016 and prioritize receiving 100,000 Syrian refugees in this number.

Click here to send to urge President Obama and Congress to increase the number of refugees resettled this year and to prioritize Syrians.

We’ve been telling you about the importance of the timing on all this right now with the “Presidential Determination” due to be sent to Congress for “consultation” within a couple of weeks.  The escalating migrant crisis in Europe isn’t helping either.
This will be a great test for the Republicans running Congress—will they once again rubber stamp what Obama wants?

National Welcoming Week part of PR campaign to soften public up for 65,000 Syrians

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

I don’t think it is any coincidence that community organizers at Welcoming America have chosen mid September to put on “welcoming” events across the country.  They know that this is the month when Obama will tell Congress how many refugees will be admitted in FY2016 which begins October 1st.

Red Green axis
In his book describing the agenda to erase America, James Simpson goes into greater detail about the insidious community organizers at ‘Welcoming America.’

As we have been writing ad nauseum over the last few days, the federal contractors and 14 US Senators (we call them the Senate Jihad Caucus!) want an emergency plan from Obama to open our normal refugee flow of 70,000 (all nationalities) and add another 65,000 Syrians nearly doubling our usual refugee admissions for the year.

You better check out this public relations plan, here at Welcoming America (hat tip: Dick).

Find an event near you during Welcoming Week. Maybe you will find a way to counter the impact—perhaps letters to the editor in your local paper about the strain of bringing in over 100,000 impoverished and culturally diverse people will have on your local communities.
Welcoming America says,

During the week of September 12-20, 2015, Welcoming America and its partners across the country will host National Welcoming Week, a nationwide event that will highlight the contributions of immigrants to American communities. Throughout the country, these events will bring together immigrants and U.S.-born community members in a spirit of unity.

This is all part of Obama’s plan to change America by colonizing your towns and cities with third world immigrants.
I first learned about Welcoming America in June of 2013. Originally funded with start-up money from one of George Soros many groups, they also receive grant money from the Office of Refugee Resettlement (from you that is!).  We were told at that meeting in Lancaster, PA that Welcoming America had been hired by the feds to try to push back against growing “pockets of resistance” (their words!) where citizens were beginning to question the wisdom of bringing more poverty to America.
James Simpson in his book, ‘Red-Green Axis—Refugees, Immigration and the Agenda to erase America’, goes into greater detail about the players and the funders involved with Welcoming America.
