After visiting Lesbos, Illinois Senator Dick Durbin calls for 100,000 Syrians to be admitted to US

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

This is really not surprising news as Durbin has been the leader of the Senate Jihad Caucus for many months (he initially called for 65,000 Syrian mostly Muslim migrants to be admitted to the US last spring), so jumping to 100,000 is no surprise (and they mean to get this done before Obama leaves office).

Lesbos
‘Refugees’ on Lesbos. I wonder did Senator Durbin and the girls see any of these starving (!) Middle Eastern young men who had the foresight to bring along a selfie stick when they successfully invaded the Greek island of Lesbos. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3224305/Selfies-shore-Refugees-lifejackets-celebrate-beach-reaching-Greek-island-thousands-waiting-enter-Europe.html

 
What is a surprise is that although he sits on the Senate Immigration in the National Interest Subcommittee, he has no idea how the Refugee Admissions Program works—the UN is selecting our Syrians from their camps in the Middle East—we won’t be scooping up any of Europe’s excess migrants.  (With the exception of those landing on the island nation of Malta where we have been taking their illegal migrants off their hands since the Bush Administration—a wholly illegal operation btw!).
I wonder what the trip cost the US taxpayers for 4 Senators to travel to Europe.  Along with Durbin were Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).  
I mentioned the Senate women yesterday who are willing to jeopardize your security and put more financial costs on your states.
From the St. Louis Post Dispatch:

WASHINGTON • Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., is calling for the United States to take in 100,000 Syrian refugees, ten times the amount the administration of President Barack Obama said last month that the United States would try to accept in the coming year.

Durbin did not put a timetable on his call for 100,000, but said he came to the conclusion that the United States needed to do more to relieve the refugee crisis in Europe after visiting refugee camps in the Greek island of Lesbos over the weekend. He and Sens. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.; and Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., made the trip.

[….]

Durbin said the United States had a long history of accepting refugees but had taken in fewer than 2,000 Syrians since the civil war began there in 2011. He said that although the U.S. had been the largest donor of money and material for the refugee crisis, it should do more.

“I can tell from calls to my office there are families and there are churches and temples, synagogues, open to the notion of helping these people being assimilated into America, and that is what we have done in the past, and what we should do again,” Durbin said.

Apparently Durbin doesn’t know that the Obama administration has banned the word “assimilation.”
Again, I know you think it’s a waste of time, but it only takes a minute to call Durbin’s office and tell him (politely) how he is destroying America. Clearly he is getting calls from the friends of federal resettlement contractors. The more refugees they resettle the more money (your money!) they receive as they are paid by the head to resettle refugees. Here is a list of Durbin’s offices.
Although all of the citizens working in ‘pockets of resistance’ do need to focus on your local efforts, if your US Senators are members of the Senate Jihad Caucus, here, you should be letting them know what you think about bringing tens of thousands of Syrians to your towns.  Even if you think your Senators are useless, you must let them know this is not a freebie issue for them.

ACT for America launches citizen action campaign urging 18 mayors to re-think their demand for more Syrian refugees

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

We reported on the letter that 18 US mayors sent to President Obama here in which they told the President that 10,000 mostly Muslim Syrians for fiscal year 2016 (that began October 1) is too few.  They want 100,000!
ACT for America is calling on its members and supporters to send letters to the 18.  They cite the enormous cost of resettling that many refugees in addition to security concerns confirmed by the Director of the FBI (here) just last week.
Here they are:

Ed Pawlowski, Mayor of Allentown, PA
Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Mayor of Baltimore, MD
Martin J. Walsh, Mayor of Boston, MA
James Diossa, Mayor of Central Falls, RI
Mark Kleinschmidt, Mayor of Chapel Hill, NC
Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago, IL
Edward Terry, Mayor of Clarkston, GA
Nan Whaley, Mayor of Dayton, OH
Domenick Stampone, Mayor of Haledon, NJ
Pedro E. Segarra, Mayor of Hartford, CT
Eric Garcetti, Mayor of Los Angeles, CA
Betsy Hodges, Mayor of Minneapolis, MN
Bill de Blasio, Mayor of New York City, NY
Jose Torres, Mayor of Paterson, NJ
William Peduto, Mayor of Pittsburgh, PA
Javier Gonzales, Mayor of Santa Fe, NM
Francis G. Slay, Mayor of St. Louis, MO
Stephanie A. Miner, Mayor of Syracuse, NY

Stop U.S. Mayors from Importing Un-vetted Refugees

Dear ____,

18 mayors from around the country recently signed an open letter to President Obama, asking for even more refugees than the huge numbers his Administration has called for,  and most ridiculously of all, praising the current background check process. If you have seen the news lately, you’re probably aware that almost all refugees are now claiming to be from Syria and are throwing away their ID’s and passports from their country of origin.

Ask yourself: How is it possible to do a background check on someone from a war zone? How can you know the person’s true identity? What about people from the regions ISIS controls? Does the State Department call up ISIS and ask if the person is a terrorist? Is the State Department cooperating with Assad’s government to perform background checks? Any claim by the White House or the State Department that thorough screening and background checks are being performed on these refugees is a terrible joke.Unfortunately, it’s one with severe national security ramifications.

Further, with today’s rampant unemployment and low wages, why would we introduce even more competition against American workers for the few jobs that are being created? What will happen to American wages when there is even more competition for jobs?

What will happen to our schools? Budget cuts and teacher shortages are already hurting schools across the country. Are schools ready to accept thousands of additional students with no extra funding? Most of the students will not speak English. How will our schools afford or ever find qualified teachers in the various languages required to staff entire parallel systems of all the classes currently being offered? This will require massive budget increases that are just not available. The only possible way to fund this is to drastically siphon off resources from current students and lower the quality of their education.

There are numerous other infrastructure problems this refugee resettlment scheme will bring related to traffic, power, sanitation, housing, crime, and healthcare. This has clearly not been thought through very well.

It is merely a cheap ploy by these mayors to grab votes without regard for the multitude of problems it will inflict upon the citizens of their cities.

It’s time to stand up for our communities and hold these elected officials accountable for their foolish actions. Shame on them.

We’ve provided an email with talking points for you to send to these mayors. (You only have to do it once and it will go to all of them.)

Netherlands' NIMBYs: Dutch Jews do not want Middle Eastern refugees housed near them

More invasion of Europe news…..

HIAS: We want 100,000 mostly Muslim Syrians for the US.

In my view they are being sensible, unlike the US federal resettlement contractor, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (bring in 100,000 Syrians!), that is happily resettling Muslim refugees in your towns and cities.
Go here to see where HIAS works near you.
From the Jewish Press :

(JNi.media)”The Jewish community of Amsterdam says it is worried about the proposed refugee shelter in Amstelveen-Noord, a suburban town in the Amsterdam metropolitan area, NL Times reported. Local residents were informed on Monday night about the new shelter, which will house 400 refugees, mostly from Syria and Iraq. The proposed location is an office building less than half a mile away from Buitenveldert, a neighborhood of Amsterdam which is considered the city’s modern Jewish quarter, with a Synagogue, Jewish schools, nursing homes, shops and kosher restaurants. Buitenveldert is also the largest Jewish community in the Netherlands.

Buitenveldert
The Jewish neighborhood of Buitenveldert is less than a half a mile away from the proposed asylum center for Syrian refugees.

The Dutch Central Jewish Board is concerned that there will be unpleasant, if not dangerous incidents because of the close proximity of the new shelter to Jewish homes.”

However, here  they can’t resist being politically correct:  We are o.k. with war refugees, just not in our neighborhood!
Jewish Press contined:

“Let there be no doubt that the Jewish community is overwhelmingly for the reception of war refugees, but we have major concerns”, chairman Ron van der Wieken said on Monday. “These people come from countries such as Syria and Iraq, who traditionally take an extremely harsh tone against Jews. These people are largely brainwashed to hate Jews. You should not underestimate it.”

Invasion of Europe news….

70% of supposed ‘refugees’ arriving in Germany are men!

Here come the men! Rep. Steve King had a suggestion in Iowa yesterday: https://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/2015/10/14/cair-blasts-rep-steve-king-for-comments-on-middle-east-refugees/

 
This is news from last week that we didn’t get to, from Reuters (emphasis is mine):

Germany’s police union and women’s rights groups accused the authorities on Tuesday of playing down reports of harassment, sexual assault and even rape at refugee shelters because they feared a backlash against asylum seekers.

[….]

…. police union chief Rainer Wendt said he believed that authorities in Germany’s federal states, which are responsible for housing asylum seekers, were playing down the problem of assaults on women in the shelters.

“It is understandable that there is the desire to calm things down politically,” Wendt told Reuters. But he, along with women’s groups, believed that ignoring the problem would be counterproductive. “There is a lot of glossing over going on. But this doesn’t represent reality,” he said.But police union chief Rainer Wendt said he believed that authorities in Germany’s federal states, which are responsible for housing asylum seekers, were playing down the problem of assaults on women in the shelters.

With men accounting for about 70 percent of asylum seekers, other groups across the country have demanded gender-segregated accommodation and safe zones for women.

At least 800,000 asylum seekers are expected in Germany this year, and Chancellor Angela Merkel’s popularity has fallen with polls showing many voters believe she is taking too soft a line on allowing them into the country.

CAIR blasts Rep. Steve King for comments on Middle East refugees

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

King put forth a sensible alternative to bringing Iraqis and Syrians to the US (and thus adding them to our welfare rolls).

Let them fight for their own country or go to Saudi Arabia!

Rep. Steve King
Here is the story at the Des Moines Register:

An organization representing the rights of Muslims in the U.S. has criticized U.S. Rep. Steve King for comments the Iowa Republican made Monday about refugees fleeing Syria.

Speaking at a rally in Sioux City with U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, King chastised the idea that the U.S. would accept Syrian Muslims, saying they would be unable to assimilate into the country.

“I can’t find models of the folks that, let’s say do the hajj to Mecca, I can’t find models where they’ve assimilated into the broader culture and civilization wherever they’ve gone,” said King, a U.S. representative.

In a statement Tuesday, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, called that statement a “bizarre claim.”

Every sensible person viewing the photos of the invasion of Europe thinks the same thing as King expresses below—why aren’t these fighting-age young men at home fighting for their country?

At the rally, King also said refugees should be trained to defend the countries they are fleeing.

“So, I say instead, the refugees that come out of Iraq and come out of Syria: first, I’d train them and say ‘go back and defend your country.’ Give them uniforms … but if you can’t get them to do that then send them to Saudi Arabia where they have the air-conditioned tents at Mecca. Those tents are not busy for 11 months out of the year and they would assimilate into that culture like a hand into a glove,” King said.

Of course, commonsense is not in vogue these days, and the Muslim ‘refugees’ are participating in the Hijra (CAIR is smoothing the way)—the migration encouraged by Mohammed to bring Islam to the land of the infidels.  97% of the Syrians being admitted to the US are Muslims.
As refugee resettlement continues unabated, you know that one day CAIR hopes to have enough voters in Iowa to get rid of King and others like him.  Young patriots—have more babies!
Take a minute and contact Rep. Steve King and thank him for his forthrightness.  Click here and call one or all of his offices.
