New York: Are "Vulnerable" Immigrants more Important to Catholic Charities than Vulnerable Babies?

I guess Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York was too busy cozying up to Governor Andrew Cuomo for money for its Pro Bono legal services in defense of illegal aliens to bother pushing too hard to save late term aborted babies!

New website connects pro-bono lawyers with immigrants in need of help

 
After relating stories about several illegal aliens (oops! “undocumented”)….
 

immigrant New York
New York’s “vulnerables!”

These undocumented immigrants are all in need of pro-bono legal help and their cases are being advertised on a new web portal run by the state’s Liberty Defense Project and Catholic Charities to connect them with volunteer immigration attorneys.
The new website funded by the state brings attention to Catholic Charities, which has placed 105 pro bono cases with more than 230 volunteer attorneys throughout New York. Every volunteer receives expert legal training to file applications for asylum-seekers, crime victims, juveniles or individuals trying to reunite with family members.

In New York, no “liberty defense” for this new American!

The new website is funded by Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Liberty Defense Project, launched in 2017, which provides free legal help to immigrants across the state through Office for New Americans locations.
The program has provided more than 25,000 services to immigrants, according to a press release. A quarter of the immigrants in detention who received representation under the program have been released and reunited with their families.

More here.
Again, that new website that seeks to link free lawyers to illegal aliens (aka New Americans) in need of help to stay in the country is being funded by New York state taxpayers!  See Liberty Defense Project!

question markWhat can you do?  If you live in New York and especially if you are Catholic, you must let Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York know what you think!

What do these Two Men have in Common? Accusations of Unwanted Sex Act

You would have to be living under a rock not to have heard about the salacious allegations being leveled against Virginia’s Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax.

However, only a small audience in and around St. Cloud, MN have heard about charges being filed for a similar sex act, which Bill Clinton once famously said did not count as sex.
Fairfax and 18-year-old Abdisalan Mohamed Abdi must have been under the same assumption.
From KNSI Radio (hat tip: Bob):

POLICE: MAN SEXUALLY ASSAULTED GIRL

(KNSI) – A young man is accused of forcing a 13-year-old girl to perform a sex act on him in St. Cloud.
Police say 18-year-old Abdisalan Mohamed Abdi was in a relationship with the girl.

Abdisalan-Abdi
New American! Abdisalan Mohamed Abdi

According to the criminal complaint, police began investigating in January.
The girl told police she was in a car with Abdi in July 2018 in St. Cloud when he asked her to perform a sex act.
According to the complaint, the girl said “no,” but Abdi then forced her.
Investigators say the girl had told Abdi she was 13.
He’s been charged with two counts of 3rd degree criminal sexual conduct.

 
I guess one will get his day in court, the other will face his voters (and the Democrat Party)!
What more is there to say other than YUK!

Canada: After Terror Arrests, Trudeau's Muslim Immigrants Fear Backlash

Yup, once again, it is the ‘community’ we must protect and shelter from backlash.
Three days ago Reuters reported the news of the arrests, here.
 

trudeau diversity heart
More ‘New Canadians’ on the way!

 
But, immediately the Christians who helped resettle the Muslims joined with a local Imam and others (and the media!) to be sure the public gets the message—this has nothing to do with Islam.

It is election year in Canada!

The stakes are high for Prime Minister Trudeau who made a big show of inviting tens of thousands of Syrians to Canada and chose a Somali man as his Immigration Minister.
Maybe they are protecting Trudeau as much as the Muslim ‘community.’
Below are a few snips from the CBC backlash story:

Community leaders work to head off anti-Muslim backlash as Kingston terror arrests wind up political debate

Community leaders are working to calm fears and find ways to prevent an anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant backlash in the wake of two arrests related to an alleged terrorist plot in Kingston, Ont. — yet the probe already has touched off a political debate over security screening for refugees.
Islamic community groups, mental health workers and police officers met earlier today to discuss their concerns about the broader community implications after the RCMP’s national security team charged one youth with two terrorism-related offences and arrested an adult male named Hussam Eddin Alzahabi in connection with an alleged plan to detonate explosives at an undisclosed location.

Bronek Korczynski (see his bio!)  http://peacequest.ca/about-us/who-are-we/

Alzahabi, who was released late today, is originally from Syria and came to Canada with his family in 2017 through a private refugee sponsorship program after living in Kuwait for 10 years. [prime example of refugee fraud because this guy was living in a safe country—ed]
Bronek Korczynski, who led the family’s sponsorship through Our Lady of Lourdes church, said the community groups that met today will attempt to head off rumours and spread the message that the alleged offences have nothing to do with Islam.
[….]
Mohamed Bayoumi of the Islamic Society of Kingston told CBC there could be an anti-Muslim backlash in the community because of the arrests, and said the group must work to ensure that does not happen.
[….]
Korczynski said he also fears the arrests and publicity surrounding the alleged terrorism case could spark unnecessary concerns about immigration.
“This certainly doesn’t suggest in any way, shape or form that Canadians shouldn’t remain open to support newcomers, whether they’re immigrants or refugees,” he said.
The backlash fears come as the political debate over immigration heats up again.
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer, who has accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of maintaining lax control over the border and immigration system, attempted to assign some blame for the developments to the Liberal government.
 

It is a big story, there is much more here.

question markI’m thinking that Canada is way worse off than we are in terms of political correctness and denial! What do you think?

Is Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar a Poster Child for Refugee Fraud?

One of the most maddening things one observes when following the US Refugee Admissions Program is that the word “refugee” has been so bastardized by the Left that it has no real meaning.
Everyone on the move in the world is not a refugee!

ilhan omar image
There is a story circulating that Omar has a book deal in the works worth as much as $250,000. The theme will likely be ‘Refugee’ girl makes good!  Will she mention that immigration mess with her brother/hubby?  https://face2faceafrica.com/article/somali-american-congresswoman-gets-publishing-deal-worth-up-to-250000

To be a legitimate refugee one must have a credible fear of being PERSECUTED if returned to the country of one’s persecution—in Omar’s case Somalia. 
Yet, time and again, we see refugees popping “home” to take care of unfinished financial business, like selling a house, visiting grandma, or carrying money back in suitcases!
Where is the fear?
In case you are one of those Americans (there are many because I’ve heard from them!) who were under the impression that refugees go home when the conflict (or whatever) that allowed them to come live here is over, you are misinformed.
‘Refugees’ are here permanently!
No wonder when the average American learns even the most rudimentary bits of information about the UN/US Refugee Admissions Program shock turns to sneering disgust. 

We are being played!

Yesterday, PJ Media published a lengthy and detailed expose’ on newly elected Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar that is worth reading.  Did you know that Nancy Pelosi will allow her to sit on the Foreign Relations Committee!
You need to read it all, but for my purposes, the information about her trips to Somalia put a lie to her fear of persecution that supposedly was the reason she and her extended family are here in the first place.
PJ Media (hat tip: Paul):

Any significant involvement by a U.S. citizen in Somalia’s election process would likely raise eyebrows at America’s intelligence agencies.
On December 20, 2016, just a few weeks after her election to Minnesota’s state legislature, Ilhan Omar was in Mogadishu with then-President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, a favorite for re-election. He reportedly invited her to appear with him prior to the election taking place.
Omar likely met at least one other Somali presidential candidate on her trip. According to a speech by her soon-to-be husband Ahmed Hirsi, Ilhan had just flown from Nairobi to Mogadishu on a plane with former Somali Prime Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, known as “Farmaajo” (“Cheese”).
Farmaajo — a U.S. citizen who, inconceivably, had boarded that plane as a Buffalo, NY, cubicle employee of the New York Department of Transportation — was the eventual surprise winner of Somalia’s presidency on February 8, 2017.

Much, much more here.
This post is filed in two categories: immigration fraud and politicians as frauds!

question markWe should have a law that says if a country becomes safe enough to visit on business and pleasure, then the ‘refugee’ is obliged to go home and improve their own country! (I can dream!)  Right?

 
 

Nevada Governor Announces his Desire for Office to Make "New Americans" Feel Welcome

“So, they will feel there is an office within the state that recognizes their contributions and that they are a part of our state and also of the country.”

Francisco Morales, a Sisolak spokesman

 
I would say the Governor’s timing stinks as Fox News reports this morning that the police in Carson City are about to file murder charges against an illegal alien from El Salvador.

Sisolak’s New American!

I don’t see the story posted yet, but a Fox & Friends reporter says that Wilbur Martinez-Guzman pawned jewelry belonging to two of those murdered earlier this month.
From the Nevada Independent (Emphasis is mine):

Sisolak Unveils Details of Proposed Governor’s Office for New Americans

This story has been edited for brevity and clarity and translated from Spanish.
In an inaugural State of the State address that touched on the economy, education, taxes and school security, Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak also announced a smaller but notable initiative — the creation of a center in Las Vegas that will help the immigrant community better adjust to American life.

Democrat Governor Steve Sisolak

Francisco Morales, a Sisolak spokesman, said that the Governor’s Office for New Americans is expected to open its doors in October if funding is approved. Sisolak’s budget calls for an administrator and one support staffer, at a cost of $184,000 in the 2020 fiscal year and $205,000 in the 2021 fiscal year.
Morales said the office will have its headquarters in Southern Nevada, within the governor’s office at Grant Sawyer State Office Building, located on Washington Avenue, near Las Vegas Boulevard.
“The focus will be on helping people blend in to our society more easily and learn about all the services and benefits our state offers,”  [Services of course is welfare!—ed] Morales said in an interview during the Cafecito with Luz and Michelle radio show. “So, they will feel there is an office within the state that recognizes their contributions and that they are a part of our state and also of the country.”
Morales said the plan is to combine efforts with non-profit organizations that provide assistance to the immigrant community, such as the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada, Casa del Immigrante Foundation, and the UNLV Immigration Clinic. [Joining forces means helping those non-profits get their hands in taxpayers’ wallets!—ed]
“The goal is to try to centralize services and to serve as a source of information people can trust. I think sometimes people are afraid, they’re shy when it comes to approaching their government and that’s why we want to create an office where they’ll feel comfortable,” he said. “And to have people who speak Spanish, people from the community.”
 

More here. The governor especially says they want to help the DACA kids get their benefits too.
Wouldn’t it be something if Wilbur Ernesto Martinez-Guzman was a DACA darling.

Pay attention to the vast increase in the number of times you see the phrase “new Americans.” 

That is what the Open Borders Left calls immigrants of all stripes (legal and illegal) and by controlling the language they control the narrative and wipe out any opportunity to make the distinction between legal and illegal entry in to our country.
The Left also uses the word “refugee” very loosely because they want you to think that anyone on the move anywhere in the world is a legitimate refugee.  An asylum seeker is not a refugee until they have been granted refugee status.
You, obviously should continue to use the phrase “illegal alien” if you know someone is here illegally. If the illegal alien is a criminal you might also tag them with the “new American” phrase to mock the Left.
I  generally use the word “migrant” when I don’t know the immigration status of someone or some group.

question markWant something to do?
Watch for it—the “new American” verbiage—and try to set the record straight whenever and wherever you can! Don’t let the Left control our language with their politically-correct mumbo-jumbo!
