Russian news outlets have been reporting that there are hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who have sought asylum in Russia over the last two months.
They say 140,000 have crossed the border into mother Russia for protection in the last two weeks.
Russian President Putin sure does know how “refugees” on the move can ring the medias’ bells. He knows the drill! Just follow the news on Syrian refugees to know what I mean!
News stories emanating from Russian state media this past week raise a serious question. Is Russia creating a fake refugee crisis in the Ukraine to justify its military intervention in the region?
No one has actually seen the refugees. Read it all. I have no time for more this morning.
It is really no surprise, most of the local print media will do this—cave in to Washington and the ruling elites on immigration of any sort with an emotional plea not based on facts—even if the citizens are violently opposed. Seven years ago the local paper where I live did the same thing, but there is no longer a refugee program here.
Gov. Matt Mead: So much a fan of big government he invited the US State Department and the UN to Wyoming?
See our previous coverage of how a Republican governor of Wyoming is begging the feds (the US State Department and the UN) to bring refugees to the only state in the nation that was wise enough to stay out of a program in dire need of a complete overhaul.
From the Casper Star-Tribune(Editorial Board: Wyoming should welcome refugees):
Wyoming must do more to welcome refugees. They are looking to escape the direst of circumstances, from torture to genocide to human trafficking, and we are missing out on the opportunity to help resettle them for everyone’s benefit.
Excuse me while I roll on the floor laughing:
It’s not about welfare. It’s about help in times of horror.
Members of a nongovernmental agency pick up refugees from the airport and take them to an apartment stocked with donations. Refugees begin learning the language, and their children are enrolled in school. They start with food stamps, but for most refugees, government support begins to diminish after eight months. Within four months, they must have jobs. In fact, they’re even required to repay the cost of their plane tickets.
A program would take no state money. The federal government would funnel resettlement money through Wyoming agencies and a nongovernmental organization.
We have thousands of posts on these pages spanning nearly seven years that demonstrate how Wyoming is being sold a bill of goods—won’t cost the state a dime, what a joke!
Why any Republican in his or her right mind would invite the feds to take more control of their state is something I can’t fathom.
Update March 8th: See VDARE for more on this story and how you can help!
This is very good news! Two weeks ago we told you of the thousands of Somalis deported from Saudi Arabia as it attempts to un-diversify itself, and now it appears they will get a warm welcome in Mogadishu.
Time to rebuild the once beautiful Mogadishu. http://borgenproject.org/mogadishu-sees-rapid-growth-and-development-as-somali-diaspora-returns-home/
Surely our critics think I’m being snarky, but I am not—many of these returning Somalis have gained skills that can now be put to use repairing their country. And, surely al-Shabaab will not have the numbers to defeat the returnees if those returning have a backbone!
Saciid Qorsheel, Minister of Land & Air Transport of the Somali government talked to the press at Mogadishu’s international airport and declared that the government is pleased to support the deportees returning to the country.
The Minister said at the airport that they are ready to prepare tents for the immigrants being sent back from foreign countries so they can have somewhere to seek refuge within their country.
“We will provide full accommodation for the deportees.” Said Saciid Qorsheel, Minister of Land & Air Transport
Recently, Somali immigrants have been deported from many countries and returned to the capital city Mogadishu, especially the ones coming back from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
I’ll be watching for the squawking from the UNHCR which will surely oppose a large return to Somalia because it undercuts their work of continuing to spread Somali “refugees” throughout the west!
Remember back in January the post about Somalis plotting in Indonesia about how to break into Australia, here— just give them a plane ticket to Mogadishu! Put them to work!
Remember last fall that the big show-offs in Sweden opened their doors to any and all Syrian asylum seekers who could get there (the announcement came when Obama was visiting)!
Now, according to the Wall Street Journalthey can’t handle it and like typical liberals are whining that others need to do their share. Emphasis below is mine.
Last September, Sweden became the only European Union country to offer permanent residence to Syrians fleeing their devastated homeland. Now, strained by its own generosity, it is losing patience with what is calls a lack of solidarity from its European brethren.
Crybaby Tobias Billstrom wants to punish European countries for not pulling their weight!
“Nine member states in the EU today receive 90% of all asylum applications annually but those nine states are starting to, well, become fed up,” Tobias Billström, Sweden’s immigration minister, said in an interview. He’s asking the European Commission to punish countries for failing to pull their weight in receiving asylum seekers in accordance with the bloc’s laws.
[….]
Since Sweden’s announcement, immigration has spiked and is now at its highest levels since the wars in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s. This year, the country’s migration experts expect 59,000 people to seek asylum there, with 23,000 of them seen coming from Syria.
Meanwhile, Italian and Greek authorities estimate more than 20,000 Syrians crossed their borders into the EU last year. Of those, a mere 1,100 applied for asylum there, according to European Commission data.
It is a strain on Sweden, especially since there is a housing shortage which pushes the price up for everyone. I guess the Swedish economic geniuses didn’t see this coming!
For Sweden, the growing influx of asylum seekers strains authorities tasked with providing education, child care and other support. One major challenge is securing housing for asylum seekers as Sweden faces a housing shortage.
LOL! The ‘refugee star’ of the story paid 16,000 Euros (about $22,000) to people smugglers to get him to Sweden, and he said this:
“What I like about Sweden’s approach is that you get support during the first years.” [Welfare from day one of course—ed]
Sweden with its open door policy on immigration and its world-renowned social safety net has been our ‘canary in a coal mine’ for years. Go here for our complete archive.
Somalis congregate in Somali cafe in Ft. Morgan where 1/3 of the labor force at Cargill is from East Africa according to Aljazeera. http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2013/9/27/the-somalis-of-fortmorgancolorado.html
We’ve been following the ups and downs of the Somali migration to Ft. Morgan for several years. The mass migration to the town began in 2008 right after the big blow up in Greeley when Somalis demanded special prayer times at a Swift meatpacking plant there. A lot of the Somalis were fired and moved on to Ft. Morgan to work for Cargill. Here is one poston the move.
We have a whole category about the conflict starting in 2008, here.
Ft. Morgan political leaders have knocked themselves out trying to send the politically correct message that diversity brings strength, but every once in awhile they have a flareup by some who don’t want the ‘change’ being brought to their community by BIG MEAT.
Senator Sessions says we need to slow down that change for everyone’s sake. By the way, it was Senator Sessions who called out the meatpackers as major lobbyists behind the so-called ‘Comprehensive Immigration Reform’ bill as it passed the Senate.
KUSA – They left Somalia and other parts of eastern Africa to escape unpredictable violence, but now Fort Morgan police say the town’s refugee community is being victimized because of their race and heritage.
In the past week and a half, multiple cars have been vandalized, left with broken windows and spray painted with racial slurs.
“Get out of town. Go back to your country,” said Khadar Ducaale, of what was written. “It’s been very frustrating, at the same time, it’s been scary. We don’t know who is responsible.”
“We left our home country back in Africa for lack of security and instability, “said Abdi Wahab, whose car windows were broken. “It feels like we might be having the same problem we left our countries for now.”
There are hundreds of east Africans who’ve been given refuge by the U.S. government to live and work in Fort Morgan. Many work at the Cargill meat plant. They said vandalism to their vehicles has happened several times in the past. 9News reported on eight cars hit in 2011.
[…..]
Fort Morgan Police said they believe the car windows were shot out by a BB gun. A town spokesperson said a hate crime investigation is underway, but there are no suspects.
