“I want to be a doctor”

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

      Yikes!   A couple of months ago a Muslim refugee proclaiming his wish to be a doctor would have made us feel all warm inside about what America can do for the downtrodden.  Not so today in the aftermath of the UK Islamic “doctors of death” failed terror plot.   Remember the riddle, “those who would save you, will kill you.”

     The Detroit News is reporting today on the first little group (in the new wave) of Iraqi refugees to arrive in the US.    They are a Christian family of 5 (good so far), another family of 8 (religion not specified) and 25-year-old Ismaail Ahmed Hamed formerly of Baghdad and more recently Turkey.

     “I want to be a doctor,” said Mr. Hamed, a Muslim without family.   He refused to tell the reporter whether he was Sunni or Shiia as he headed off to his apartment in Dearborn (aka Dearbornistan).

     As you research the refugees in your city or town, observe how many are single men.  The refugee industry loves to get those heartwarming stories with photos of adorable kids and grateful moms, but a large number of refugees coming into the country are men without families. 

Trumping up persecution charges

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

      Read the article this week by Thomas Allen at VDare (http://vdare.com/allen/070730_vietnamese.htm) 

“Why More Vietnamese Refugees–Thirty Years After the War?  Because There’s Money In It, Stupid”

     The article caught my eye because two of my children are Vietnamese and my daughter just returned from spending 7 weeks visiting her extended Catholic family.  She reports that she saw no persecution of anyone for religious reasons and that everyone openly  displayed symbols of their faiths, whether Catholic or Buddhist.   Now that is not to say there isn’t some persecution going on, but isn’t there some everywhere?   As for those who were politcally persecuted for helping America, they are old men and women now.

    She also reported that although poor by American standards, people’s lives were improving from when she was last there nine years ago.

      So, who are these refugees we are now so eager to add to the refugee program?   My guess is that either they are riff-raff, or they are just the sort of people who should stay in Vietnam to rebuild the country—smart, energetic, entreprenurial, pro-democracy individuals.  

      Could it be about the perpetuation of the refugee industry entrenched in the federal bureaucracy and tied to NGO contractors?   See Allen’s piece at VDare and decide for yourself.

Muslim Refugees to Maryland

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

     According to numbers we just recieved from the US State Department, Maryland beats the national average in the resettlement of Muslim refugees.     From 2002 through 2007 (to date) Maryland has been the resettlement destination of 1,556 Muslim refugees out of a total refugee pool of 3,979.   Muslims thus represented 39% of the refugee population for those years.    The national average from 1990 to 2003 was 15%, with  peak year 1999 (44%).   (We have not obtained national averages for more recent years.)

      The statistics received from WRAPS (Worldwide Refugee Application Processing System)*, indicated that of the remaining 2,423 refugees in that time period 22 other religions were represented.     This group of refugees hailed from 42 differant countries.   

      My home county (Washington Co.) received 125 Muslim refugees out of 168 total refugees since 2004 when resettlement began in earnest.    That puts us at 74% Muslim refugees resettled.

      *  What is WRAPS?  Here is what they say at their website  http://www.wrapsnet.org/

The Refugee Processing Center (RPC) is operated by the U.S Department of State (DOS) Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) in the Rosslyn section of Arlington, Virginia USA. 

. . . . .

At the RPC and at Overseas Processing Entities (OPEs), an interactive computer system called the Worldwide Refugee Admissions Processing System (WRAPS) is used to process and track the movement of refugees from various countries around the world to the U.S. for resettlement under the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP).

Try contacting WRAPS and find out what is happening in your state or city.  E-mail help@wrapsnet.org  and see what response you get.  Then let us know!

Iraqi Christians should be moved to the head of the line

     Iraq’s Christians are being wiped out.   The Islamic government that we have helped establish in Iraq is not protecting them and consequently thousands have been killed, driven from the country as refugees or forced to convert to Islam to save themselves.   

     A representative of the State Department told us, we take Iraqis of all religions into the Refugee Resettlement program.  It’s frankly insane.  It is multiculturalism uber alles.   There are plans to bring 25,000 refugees into the US in the next two months and we are wasting spaces on the likes of Malta’s 200 illegal immigrants (see our post on July 26th)—those are likely Muslims from North Africa who have sneaked into Malta.

     Reform of Refugee Resettlement is imperative and one place to start is with focusing on bringing our friends to America and not our mortal enemies.

British fleeing the UK

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

     Atlas Shrugs has a warning for us from the United Kingdom—-the British are leaving their ancestral home  in droves to live abroad due to the unbridled immigration that the government there has encouraged over recent years.  

  “Ironically, the main reason for these people leaving the UK is the over-stretching of services caused by inbound immigration to the UK. “

     Read the whole post here and take heed.  Where will we go one day?   According to Mark Steyn, we are already America Alone.
