It is all over the alternative media, so you’ve probably seen it (in more graphic detail) than The Guardian gives us. Here is The Guardian story which should be headlined: ‘Migrant situation in Sweden completely unsustainable, police resources strained.’
An employee at a refugee centre in Sweden has been stabbed to death.
Paris 2015! How about Sweden 2016! Prime Minister Stefan Lofven visits the bloody scene of the attack. More to come?
Police spokesman Thomas Fuxborg said the alleged assailant was a young man living at the centre for unaccompanied asylum seekers aged between 14 and 17in Molndal, near Gothenburg on Sweden’s west coast.
He did not give details about the suspect’s age or nationality but said the man had been arrested for murder. Swedish news agency TT said he was 15 years old.
The victim was a 22-year-old woman, and the motive was not immediately clear.
“These kinds of calls are becoming more and more common. We’re dealing with more incidents like these since the arrival of so many more refugees from abroad,” said Fuxborg.
The Swedish prime minister, Stefan Lofven, visited the area in the aftermath of the death.
The attack came as the national police commissioner, Dan Eliasson, requested 4,100 additional officers and support staff to help fight terrorism, carry out migrant deportations and police asylum facilities.

“Many of the problems we are now facing help to prove the point that Swedish police have long been underfunded and under-staffed,” Lena Nitz, the director of the police union, told TT.
“It is obvious that the migrant situation is a great strain. It has become clear that the situation is completely unsustainable.”
See our complete archive on Sweden by clicking here. It has always been my first choice guess for which country in Europe will fall first to the Muslim migration. By the way, next time you hear refugee contractors and the globalists talk about refugees bringing economic prosperity, ask if they have factored in the cost of crimes and the need for increased crime prevention (and the cost of imprisonment!).

I have to admit this is some great reporting at the Huffington Post.
It adds considerable detail to a dispute we knew a little about, but more importantly it is a window into the ‘souls’ of the ‘humanitarian’ refugee contractors. We have been telling readers for years that resettling refugees, and in this case taking care of the so-called Unaccompanied Alien Children, is all about MONEY. It is about competition between contractors and it is about the revolving door as contractors become political appointees then return to their former boss (the contractor) as recipients of lucrative government contracts.
This is a complicated story and I’m going to urge you to read it all, but here is what you need to know about a couple of the key players in this drama.
And, let me ask at the outset! Where is Congress?
Eskinder Negash (left) and Lavinia Limon (second from right).
Some of the players (we have many posts here at RRW on these characters, search their names): Lavinia Limonwas Bill Clinton’s head of the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) and now heads the US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI). Eskinder Negashwas a Vice President at USCRI before he was chosen to head the Office of Refugee Resettlement in the Obama Administration. Negash resigned suddenly in December of 2014. No one ever publicly explained his sudden departure. And, then eventually he returned to USCRI. Bob Carey is now the head of ORR (replacing Negash) and he comes to the government job from yet another contractor, the International Rescue Committee. And, although not mentioned here, the person in charge of refugees at the US State Department, Anne Richard, came to her perch there from, you guessed it, the International Rescue Committee. So, the IRC has two former employees heading the two major agencies involved with resettling refugees. But, that is a story for another day!
The arrival of tens of thousands of Unaccompanied Alien Children in the summer of 2014, and many thousands before and since, unleashed gobs of government grant and contract money to the same agencies (the nine big refugee contractors and two other newer contractors) not only for the care of the ‘children’ which they are pretending are legitimate refugees/asylum seekers, but also for their legal fees in their attempts to keep them here in America by transforming them into legal immigrants. The ‘children’ represent cold hard cash for non-government refugee contractors.
Which brings us to this incredible piece of reporting!
Of course, the spin here is that the children are suffering (and the legal system will be bogged down), but readers take note: this report raises questions about alleged corruption in the entire grants and contracts system run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement in the Dept. of Health and Human Services.
The tip-off that there is a problem comes when the Catholic Bishops get mad that USCRI is getting some boodle unfairly when they want the boodle!
Bizarre Contract Dispute Putting Thousands Of Migrant Children At Risk, by Ryan Grim, begins:
WASHINGTON — Thousands of unaccompanied minors who came across the U.S. border as part of the migrant crisis are at risk of being deported without due process, the archbishop of Miami has warned the Obama administration.
Although the law dictates that these children must be given legal services, recent moves by the Office of Refugee Resettlement have thrown that into doubt. ORR, which is an agency under the umbrella of Health and Human Services, awarded the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants a contract to represent the children. USCRI in turn planned to subcontract with a social services firm that employed zero attorneys at the time.
I want you toread it all. It is complicated, but oh so juicy!
Did USCRI get the contract because Negash was the head of ORR? Is this why Negash resigned so suddenly back in December of 2014? Shouldn’t there be a law that contractors cannot move in and out of government positions where they are in a position to award grants and contracts to their former bosses? Where is Trey Gowdy (chairman of the committee responsible for refugees in the House of Representatives)? Does he know about this? Is his committee investigating? If you are as outraged as I am by the allegations raised in the Huffington Post story, please send the article to your member of Congress and US Senators and demand they get to the bottom of this because after all it is YOUR money!
We told you yesterday at American Resistance 2016! that the Obama Administration is ILLEGALLY expanding the Refugee Admissions Program and we urge members of Congress to get on the stick to stop them! Where are you Trey Gowdy?

But, even as Obama’s State Department seeks to involve the United Nations in choosing Central Americans (and not just the ‘children’ now but whole families) as ‘refugees’ destined for your towns, the southern border invasion of illegals is underway and if the rate of arrival for the first three months of FY2016 continues throughout the fiscal year, 2016 will see an even greater arrival rate than the disastrous 2014 summer!
For new readers: our interest in the Unaccompanied Minors issue is because some of the same federal resettlement contractors that resettle refugees get paid to take care of the ‘children’ too. We have a very large archive going back many years on the issue. Since they were originally referred to as ‘Unaccompanied Minors’ that is how those posts arearchived here.
Here is apress release from the US Customs and Border Protectionwebsite that must have been released since January 1 (but I see no date). It begins:
“Out of an abundance of caution, the Office of Refugee Resettlement at HHS has begun a process to expand its temporary capacity to house unaccompanied children. This is a prudent step to ensure that the Border Patrol can continue its vital national security mission to prevent illegal migration, trafficking, and protect the borders of the United States.
As we have highlighted over the last few months, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) have noted an increase in the number of unaccompanied children (UAC) and family units apprehended along the southwest border. The entire administration has been closely monitoring these current trends and coordinating across the whole of government to ensure an effective response to any changes in migration flows.
That is a stunning downplay of the numbers they then present!
Scroll down to the tables and see especially this one:
Numbers below reflect Fiscal Years 2009-2015, FY 2016 (October 1, 2015 – December 31, 2015)
Note that the last number (for 2016) reflects ONLY three months (from Oct. 1 through Dec. 31), the first three months of FY2016. Let’s take Guatemala for instance: 17,057 illegal aliens arrived in the US in the whole of FY2014, yet in the FIRST THREE MONTHS of FY2016, 6,474 have already arrived. That is one quarter of the fiscal year. Do the math! If that rate continues, over 25,000 will arrive in FY2016 from Guatemala alone!
Check the numbers for the three Central American countries and see that the numbers could be greater in 2016 than in 2014. No wonder the Obama Administration has announced its new illegal expansion of the Refugee Admissions Program! Are they desperate to head off the new invasion in this all important Presidential election year?
Someone please tell Donald Trump! Fuel for his fire!
Are they all seeing the window (doors!) open in Obama’s last year in office?
Barack and good ol’Joe: 2016 is our year to get it done—to flood America with impoverished migrants and thus to change America by changing the people! As a Senator, Joe Biden was (with Ted Kennedy) one of the architects of the Refugee Act of 1980.
This is a story I didn’t get around to last week the morning after Paris, but clearly written before BP (before Paris). It is from the Los Angeles Times(hat tip: Joanne) and says that numbers are increasing again at our southern border and that possibly a new surge is on the way. Here is a bit of what that article says:
The number of families illegally crossing the southern U.S. border has more than doubled over the same period last fall, prompting concern about a new surge of migrants from Central America.
Many more unaccompanied children are also crossing, with 4,476 apprehended in September — an 85% increase over that month in 2014, according to new Border Patrol data.
[….]
The concern among immigration officials and advocates is that the situation is building up to a repeat of the unprecedented influx on the southern border in 2014, when more than 68,000 unaccompanied children and as many families crossed illegally, mainly into Texas.
Here come the Syrians!
However, the big news yesterday and this morning is that Syrians may be among the OTMs (Other than Mexicans) headed to the US. I’m guessing that half of the third-world is eyeing the window of opportunity as Obama heads into his last full year in office figuring they need to make the move now in case an immigration restrictionist Republican like Trump heads to the White House at the end of the year.
2016 could well be the most critical year to CLOSE our borders. Could we get the minutemen back in business???
We have two stories now about Syrians headed to America.
The first is here, from AFP at Yahoo.news, about 5 Syrians detained in Honduras with fake passports and the second one, here, at Breitbartclaims eight Syrians crossed into Texas recently. They will all likely be asking for asylum. Illegal aliens? Economic migrants? Refugees? Asylum seekers? Asylees?
A quick primer on terminology….
We all know what illegal alien is, that is everyone here who has either crossed a border without permission or over-stayed a visa. Economic migrants is a term used for those illegal aliens who are on the move to find a better life. They are NOT refugees. Refugees (US bound) are selected abroad mostly by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and our US State Department. We fly them here and a resettlement contractor gets them comfy with all their taxpayer-funded goodies and puts them on the track to US citizenship. This is the group we are arguing about now while discussing Syrian resettlement. Refugees must have proven they would be persecuted for race, religion, political persuasion, or because they belong to a particular group—like being a homosexual—if they returned to their home country. We have been taking around 70,000 a year in recent years from many areas of the world. Asylum seekersare those who get in here legally with a visa or illegally and then ask for political asylum using the same claims of persecution that refugees have used. The only difference is that asylum seekers get here on their own while we fly in the refugees (defined above). There is a legal process the asylum seekers must go through to prove they would be persecuted if we deported them. The vast majority of those flooding Europe will be seeking asylum while we expect most are really economic migrants. By the way, Obama wants the ‘unaccompanied alien children’ crossing our borders as illegal aliens to be ‘refugees’ through the asylum process. Asylees are those granted legal asylum, legal protection. We grant asylum to somewhere in the vicinity of 30,000 asylum seekers a year. Often times those seeking asylum through our system are free to move to a location in the US where they have a relative even before their case is adjudicated. If given permission to stay, asylees can avail themselves of all the welfare goodies available to “refugees.” And, they are often referred to as “political refugees.” The Tsarnaev family of Boston Bomber fame were successful asylum seekers. A reader suggested last night that we should get in the habit of referring to those who are here to stay as refugees/asylees. And, I think that is a good idea.
When the Leftwing No Borders gang (including the resettlement contractors***) claim that no refugee has committed a terror act they are parsing words. A large number of refugees and asylees have been convicted of terror-related (most before the act was actually committed!) and other horrific crimes. Have they forgotten the Kentucky Iraqi refugee terrorists and the Boston Bombers (asylees are refugees just as much as those admitted in the regular resettlement program)?
See crimes here. And, don’t forget the Idaho Uzbek refugee terror case!
*** The nine major federal resettlement contractors determining the futures of your cities and states like to call themselves VOLAGs (short for Voluntary agencies)—a joke considering how much federal money they receive(some of it to care for those unaccompanied alien children crossing the border). They all lobby for amnesty for illegal aliens while being funded mostly by you, the taxpayer:
Julia Hahn at Breitbarthas another excellent story with details about the impact on America of refugees, asylees, and this time those Unaccompanied Alien Children who are given over to the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement. The majority of the ‘children’ spread throughout the US were teenage boys. Here is her story from this week (trying to post a few things from afar when I catch a few free minutes):
Illegal aliens who show up at the border have been resettled all across United States of America instead of being detained and deported, as Donald Trump recently called for in his new immigration plan.
According to data from the Justice Department obtained by Breitbart News, 96 percent of Central Americans caught illegally crossing into the country last summer are still in the United States. Now Breitbart News has learned exclusively that a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from a pro-security group about the cost of this operation is being stonewalled.
In January of 2015, the Immigration Reform Law Institute, on behalf of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), filed a FOIA request to discover the cost of accommodating the tens of thousands of illegal unaccompanied minors who came across the border encouraged by President Obama’s 2012 executive amnesty for illegal youths.
The FOIA letter made five requests of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency: that the federal agency detail (1) the costs of building of family detention centers; (2) the costs of apprehending, processing and detaining unaccompanied minors; (3) the costs transporting, transferring, removing and repatriating unaccompanied minors; (4) the costs related to ICE’s representation of government in removal procedures involving unaccompanied minors; and (5) the number of instances where objections to the return of unaccompanied minors were raised by the governments of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
The federal agency, however, refused to answer many of these questions– instead only partially answering two of the five requests.
There is more, continue reading here.
All of our coverage of the ‘unaccompanied minors’ catastrophe is here. ‘Unaccompanied minor’ was the earlier terminology used for the ‘children’ and we have followed the issue for years so everything we’ve written is archived using that term. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops and Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service are two of the nine major refugee resettlement contractors who are paid to help care for the ‘children.’
