Pittsburgh, PA Mayor Peduto: Bring us Syrian Muslims!

11/02/2015 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

The Mayor of Pittsburgh, PA is one of 18 mayors who recently wrote to Obama asking the administration to admit 100,000 Syrians to America in the coming year. By the way, 97% of those admitted in FY2015 were Muslims, not persecuted Christians.

bill-peduto-is-inaugural-speaker-for-feds-michael-f-moran-speaker-series — Not concerned about security warnings, Pittsburgh Mayor Peduto “welcomes” Syrians to the city where they need more diversity we are told!

Here is a story at Triblive.com:

Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto is committed to providing safe harbor for Syrian migrants, despite security concerns raised by top government officials.

Peduto recently joined 17 mayors from across the county urging President Obama to accept more than his proposed number of 10,000 Syrians this fiscal year. The mayors said they would work to find space for refugees in their cities.

[….]

Peduto said he has asked four resettlement agencies — Northern Area Multi-Service Center in Sharpsburg, Jewish Family and Children’s Services in Squirrel Hill, Downtown-based Catholic Charities of Pittsburgh, and AJAPO Refugee Immigration Services in the Hill District — to determine whether Pittsburgh has space for 500 Syrians.

What! He only wants 500 of the 100,000 he is begging Obama for? It seems to me that if 18 mayors ask for 100,000 that means that each of their 18 cities gets 5,555! All of you in pockets of resistance should be saying, send our allotment to the 18! Including to Baltimore!

Get the facts straight!

The government pays about $1,100 per refugee to house, feed and provide basics for the first three months, Mugwaneza [Kheir Mugwaneza, director of the Northern Area Multi-Service Center’s refugee program] said. After that, they must be employed and start paying bills on their own, he said.

They aren’t telling readers that when the refugee gets the $1,100 per refugee the resettlement contracting agency gets about $800 dollars per refugee and that the agency’s job is to get the refugees signed up for all forms of welfare! Get them their healthcare, housing and sign the kids up for school. See here.
Now look at this! How many times are we told that refugees are self-sufficient in 3-6 months! What! Without jobs!

It’s tough to find entry-level jobs for refugees and even harder to find housing. Few landlords are willing to accept families who have no immediate income, said Leslie Aizenman, director of refugee and immigrant services at Jewish Family and Children’s Services.

She said refugees help rebuild downtrodden city neighborhoods and attract young residents looking for residential diversity, Aizenman said.

I bet those young inner city African American residents are eagerly anticipating the arrival of diversity, competition for jobs and housing!
There is more, continue reading here. I wonder why the reporter never mentioned that Peduto and the other 17 mayors specifically said Obama should bring in 100,000?

UNHCR has almost 20,000 Syrians picked out for us, lists our resettlement commitment as "open-ended"

11/01/2015 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Thanks to reader Sheila for sending this UN High Commissioner for Refugees “pledge” list (dated the 7th of October) for Syrian refugees. Note that the UNHCR has chosen 19,646 Syrians for us and has listed our commitment as “open-ended.”
So why isn’t the Obama Administration’s pledge of 10,000 listed here? Why “open-ended?”
I urge you to also visit an earlier pledge list (from December 2014) by clicking here.
Who is running the show? As of December 2014 they already had over 9,000 selected for us!

Clarion Project: 13% of Syrian refugees support ISIS

11/01/2015 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

This should be no surprise!
From The Clarion Project (Hat tip: Diana):

refugee camps in Turkey — The survey was done among Syrian refugees in Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan which is exactly where Syrians destined for America are coming from.

A poll published in November 2014 by the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies found that 13% of Syrian refugees have positive feelings towards the Islamic State terrorist group. The data should raise questions about the risks posed by the acceptance of Syrian refugees into the United States.

The poll surveyed 900 Syrian refugees equally split between Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan. The think-tank found that 4% expressed a positive opinion of the Islamic State (ISIS) and another 9% expressed a “somewhat positive” opinion of the terrorist group. Another 10% only view the group negatively “to some extent.”

97% of the Syrians admitted to the US in FY2015 were Sunni Muslims.
Director of the FBI James Comey told Congress recently that we cannot properly screen them.
Here are the states where Syrians have been resettled this month (the first month of the 2016 fiscal year).

Swedish Foreign Secretary: Sweden will collapse

More on what were the most important posts for readers here at RRW last week….

marching from Denmark to Sweden — Middle Eastern migrants march from Denmark to Sweden

From the Daily Mail:

The Swedish Foreign Minister has claimed her country is facing collapse due to the mass influx of refugees*** as the migrant crisis deepens.

Margot Wallstrom has said that Sweden cannot cope with taking in refugees at its current level, without it affecting services.

She says that Stockholm will now have to pressure the European Union in a bid to force other member states to share the burden of those coming from the Middle East, mainly Syria.

It is expected that Sweden will take in around 190,000 migrants by the end of 2015. In the first nine months of the year, more than 73,000 people applied for asylum in Sweden.

And Mrs Wallstrom said in an interview: ‘I think most people feel that we cannot maintain a system where perhaps 190,000 people will arrive every year – in the long run, our system will collapse.

Continue reading…
It will collapse then because there is nothing going to stop the invasion. All predictions are that tens of thousands will continue to go unimpeded to “welcoming” Sweden.
Will Sweden need sex education classes too as the mostly men arrive?

***By the way, according to the UNHCR, 53% of the migrants are Syrians, but the other 47% come from all over the Middle East, Asia and Africa, see here.

Did your state get Syrian Muslim refugees in October? Kentucky still number one!

10/31/2015 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Update November 1: The UNHCR has picked nearly 20,000 Syrians for us, says our commitment is “open-ended” here.
The Obama Administration says they will resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees in the US in FY 2016 which began October 1. Here is a map showing where the first 187 Syrians have been placed (as of today). Two weeks ago, it had been only 51 (see here), but Kentucky is still the number one destination (here with 26).

Of the 187 admitted to the US this month, 183 are Sunni Muslims. There were 3 Catholics and 1 Christian. That is 98% Muslim. Last year the percentage of Muslims in the Syrian flow to America was 97%.
Go here to the Refugee Processing Center to see where I am getting the information.
If Obama wants to get 10,000 in here in one year, they will surely have to step this up. I expect the slow start involves the problem they are having doing the security screening. He will have to get almost 900 a month in here to make his quota.
If you missed my report on the UNHCR talk in Washington on Thursday, here, then you missed his explanation about why the Christians weren’t coming in any great numbers—he says they are not persecuted by the Assad regime so they aren’t refugees in need of resettlement. I guess ISIS doesn’t count as a persecutor!
Will Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul say anything about the colonization of Kentucky? I won’t hold my breath!
