I was traveling yesterday and had no time to post or even read much, so I missed posting this important article by Leo Hohmann at World Net Daily about how Kansas City Mayor Mark Holland bragged about how KC is being changed by changing the people (where have we heard that before!).
See the WND article here. Drudge picked it up and helped it go viral!
And be sure to see the 3,048 comments (as of this writing).

By the way, one of the driving forces behind changing Kansas has been BIG Meat (the meatpackers) looking for cheap immigrant labor. You will find many posts in our Kansas archive about that.

Germany being overrun by refugees, police say they can't process them all
Invasion of Europe news…..
From Deutsche Welle:
Police in Bavaria admit they don’t have the resources to fingerprint all newcomers. In the first half of the year, almost 180,000 people – many from Syria and Iraq – applied for asylum in Germany.
Border authorities in Bavaria have given up trying to take the fingerprints of all the refugees entering the country, reported “Der Spiegel” on Monday.
The revelations came as officials acknowledged that close to 180,000 people claimed asylum in Germany in the first half of the year.
Quoting an unnamed senior police union official, the magazine said that up to 300 people were able to cross the German-Austria border each day without proper registration due to a lack of resources.
Local media reported that around 45,000 people have entered the country this year without being properly processed by authorities.
Gaddafi’s revenge?

Africans fastest growing immigrant group in America
So says The Economist in an article entitled: ‘Building Afromerica.’
This is an article meant to put your mind at ease by suggesting that a large percentage of the Africans arriving in America are well-educated and live in the suburbs when they get here, thus not adding to inner-city poverty.
We don’t believe that is the case for the refugee portion of the flow (so far!).
However, if Obama gets his way, more will be in suburban towns, see here (educated, or not! impoverished, or not!).
I’m posting this because it includes a statistic I was interested to see—the percentage of legal Africans arriving as refugees and those arriving via the Diversity Visa Lottery.
If you don’t know about the so-called ‘Green Card Lottery’ you need to learn about it!
The Economist:
Relatively few Africans are illegal immigrants (those who are have almost all overstayed their visas). Instead, they have particularly benefited from the Refugee Act of 1980, which brought more refugees to America, and the Immigration Act of 1990, which created special diversity visas, issued by lottery, for people from under-represented countries. According to analysis by the Pew Research Centre, 28% of legal African immigrants who arrived between 2000 and 2013 came as refugees; 19% of them arrived on diversity visas. For all legal immigrants, the equivalent figures were 13% and 4%.
We learned in the first year of writing this blog that one reason the refugee resettlement program shifted to include large numbers of Africans was revealed in a 2007 report:
According to Heidi Boas in her lengthy 2007 paper entitled, “The New Face of America’s Refugees: African Refugee Resettlement to the United States:”
….several of the individuals interviewed for this paper identified the Congressional Black Caucus as one of the most influential groups advocating over the past decade for increased African refugee resettlement to the United States.
Back to The Economist…..
So what legal programs admit the other 47% of Africans? I would like to know!
Then there is this….
African migrants stand out from American-born blacks. Indeed, on most measures, they have little in common but their colour.
And, that is why there are conflicts when Somalis especially are resettled by federal contractors into African-American neighborhoods naively assuming (we can only guess) that since they are the same color they should all just love each other! Not!
Invasion of Europe News: Germany and France agree to take thousands of 'refugees,' but still a drop in the bucket
Most other European countries have (no surprise!) not stepped up.
When you look at this article in Deutsche Welle see if you think it looks like it is purposefully deceptive to German readers.
So, just say they divvy up 40,000 (already in the pipeline) so-called asylum seekers right now, yet they readily admit that 80,000 more have arrived just this year. Who gets the additional tens of thousands?
And, btw, Germany has been saying they will take in 35,000 Syrians (to great cheers from the UN and the human rights industrial complex). Is that number in addition to this latest promise to take 12,000 boat people this year?
Furthermore, what is going to stop another 80,000 from arriving next year? Will Germany take 12,000 of those?
Unless they stop the boats as Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott told them here in April, Europe is finished!
Deutsche Welle:
Germany and France have voluntarily agreed to take in some 21,000 asylum-seekers to help the EU deal with the Mediterranean migrant crisis. Other European countries have failed to reach an agreement in Luxembourg.
Despite commitments from Germany and France, the ministerial meeting held in Luxembourg on Thursday was unsuccessful in reaching the overall 40,000 target.
German Interior Minister Thomas De Maiziere and his French counterpart Bernard Cazeneuve announced at the summit that Germany would accept 12,100 whereas France would take 9,100 refugees.
People fleeing war and poverty in North Africa and the Middle East are seeking refuge in European countries, with most of the people turning up on the shores of Italy and Greece or being rescued at sea. Some 40,000 Syrian and Eritrean asylum seekers are currently camped in Italy and Greece, whereas another 20,000 are outside the EU.
[….]
Some 80,000 migrants have arrived in Italy since the start of the year.
The European Commission had pushed for a mandatory quota system to divide migrants among EU states, but many European leaders rejected the proposal.
Germans who want to see Germany survive better start asking for some clarification of the numbers!
And, wouldn’t it be ironic if Poland, which has refused so far to take any ‘refugees,’ survives and Germany doesn’t.

Obama Administration diversifying neighborhoods with HUD money
For those of you wondering why your middle class, largely white, town is getting low income housing, it is all becoming more obvious that Obama is using the federal piggybank to ‘encourage’ the racial and economic diversification of your towns.
I don’t want to have to become a housing expert, and since Stanley Kurtz already is, I don’t have to be. Please see his latest at National Review.
Light bulbs going off!
Of course this all helps us tie in the push to bring third world refugees to more and more towns and cities. Your local government officials are probably in on this as is the local Chamber of Commerce as they see dollar signs for their developer cronies and more power for themselves.
Kurtz at National Review two days ago:
Today, HUD Secretary Julian Castro announced the finalization of the Obama administration’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule. A front-page article preemptively defending the move appears in today’s Washington Post. The final rule is 377 pages, vastly longer than the preliminary version of the rule promulgated in 2013.
AFFH is easily one of President Obama’s most radical initiatives, on a par with Obamacare in its transformative potential. In effect, AFFH gives the federal government a lever to re-engineer nearly every American neighborhood — imposing a preferred racial and ethnic composition, densifying housing, transportation, and business development in suburb and city alike, and weakening or casting aside the authority of local governments over core responsibilities, from zoning to transportation to education. Not only the policy but the political implications are immense — at the presidential, congressional, state, and local levels.
The vast majority of Americans don’t want this forced integration!
This brings us to politics. As noted, AFFH is a largely unacknowledged attempt to force economic integration on every neighborhood in America. Yet in a recent Rasmussen poll, 83 percent of respondents said it was not the government’s job to diversify neighborhoods by income level, while only 8 percent say that this is an appropriate task for government. Now you know why the Obama administration and a compliant press corps have kept this initiative quiet.

Fighting back!
The forces arrayed against you are pretty frightening and formidable. Do not despair! Please revisit this post from ten days ago where we reported on what Daniel Greenfield told you—that you are guerrilla warriors now—and as such you must throw shoes into the the machinery of government at every opportunity. For most of you, this will be at the local level.
If you want to preserve your middle class American lifestyle for your children and grandchildren, please get involved! Find those little places in which to throw shoes! Develop ‘pockets of resistance!’
Greenfield:
Just obstruct any liberal initiative, policy or program in your community. Tie it in redtape!
