Trump Administration Officials: Refugee Admissions for FY2020 Could be Zero

“Refugee backers….worry that the doomsday scenario — taking numbers down to zero — could debilitate the resettlement program for years to come.”

(Politico)

 
I had planned to immediately this morning jump on the Rep. Ilhan Omar (Somali refugee) marriage scam story, but need to tell you about this breaking news first.

Church World Service which receives millions in federal grants and contracts to place refugees in your towns and cities is crying the blues…..

 
A little background….
Every year at this time various administration agencies and the federal resettlement contractors (also called incorrectly ‘charities’) get together to plan for the coming fiscal year and how many refugees should be admitted and from where.
The State Department then in conjunction with the White House prepares the Presidential Determination that is sent to Congress in September for consultation with various committees.  However, it is the President who has the power under the Refugee Act of 1980 to set the CEILING for the coming year.
One step in the process that has now been missing for years is the “scoping meeting” which for many many years was held in May or June and it was an opportunity for the public to weigh in with views on the scope of the program.  Longtime readers of Refugee Resettlement Watch may recall that for a number of years during the Obama Administration those of us with concerns about the program swamped them with comments.
That opportunity for public comment was dropped and the Trump Administration has never revived it.  
So here we are again the annual squabble over numbers of refugees for the coming fiscal year has begun (FY20 begins on October 1, 2019).  Previously I saw that the nine federal contractors (Church World Service is one of the nine) who are paid to place the refugees are again pushing for 75,000.
Not happy with what they learned last week from the Trump team, they have leaked to Politico and surely other news outlets to vent and to stir up their minions to put pressure on Congress and the White House so they can continue to be paid to change America by changing the people.

And, get this! Heritage Foundation is on the side of more refugees rather than less!

Michelle Malkin Calls Out Lutheran Refugee Contractor as Anti-Trump Political Agitator

“Will a single American elected official please stand up and challenge the continued public funding of this subversive religious racket?”

(Michelle Malkin)

 
Refugee Resettlement Watch may be down temporarily, but thankfully patriots with bigger megaphones have taken up the call to educate Americans about the supposedly ‘religious’ charities that live off of us—taxpayers—in order to promote an Open Borders agenda.

Thanks to reader Richard for tipping me off to Michelle Malkin’s recent column about Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service‘s leading role as an anti-Trump community agitation group (while they collect millions in federal grants and contracts from the Trump Administration)!

After Terror Bust, Pittsburgh Mayor Peduto Says he is Keeping the Welcome Mat Out for Syrian Refugees

All refugees actually.
But, of course, they are not resettled in the better (wealthier) neighborhoods!

The ‘woke’ Mayor Peduto

 
Thanks to a reader for sending the mayor’s declaration reported here at Frontpage magazine, but there is more as the mayor who in 2015 asked then President Obama for 100,000 Syrians to be admitted to the US.
Legacy church
The alleged target was not rich white Americans!

See my post yesterday on the terror bust.
A Syrian refugee resettled in 2016 was arrested for plotting to bomb a poor “multicultural” church that was the church home for African migrants from Nigeria according to several news accounts.  
I wouldn’t even be bothered telling you about Mayor Peduto’s defense of refugees that have swamped ‘welcoming’ Pittsburgh in recent years if it weren’t for the fact that Peduto was one of 18 mayors who penned a letter to President Obama in 2015 insisting that the US must take in 100,000 Syrians in 2016.  Obama was proposing 10,000. Text of the letter is here.

Syrian Refugee Arrested Yesterday in Plot to Bomb Pittsburgh Church

ISIS has not gone away as this story confirms and ISIS is an inspiration for refugees like this young man who was ‘welcomed’ to Obama’s America and then returned that welcome with plans to kill us.

Looking for a photo that most of the US media is not showing? Go to the UK Daily Mail!

Of course the story will likely be a flash in the pan for the media and then disappear completely unnoticed unless people like you, my dear readers, make sure it doesn’t!
Denying the power of the Islamic imperative, the refugee industry media machine will likely simply say the poor naive ‘youth’ was set-up by the FBI.
Below is one of many news accounts this morning.
One important takeaway is that he allegedly wanted to bomb what he described as a “Nigerian church” in order to help his “ISIS brothers” in West Africa.

Are we bringing Islamic third world battles to American neighborhoods? You betcha!

One Hundred Congolese Illegal Aliens End Up in Buffalo, NY

“These are not people who are wasting time with the system….”

(Anna Mongo, Jericho Road Community Health Center)

 
So, what does Ms. Mongo mean by that?
She means, although she dare not say it, that there is a LEGAL process by which legitimate refugees from the DR Congo are getting into the US right now (by the thousands), yet this bunch was financed by someone to rush our southern border.

WHO?

Why is no investigative reporter finding out who is paying for the invasion?
Tell me that these poor migrants from Central Africa flew to Brazil and walked up from there through many countries, did not ask for asylum in any of them, and then stormed across our border.

Congolese to Buffalo
I call bullshit on this!  It is nearly 5,000 miles between Brazil and the Texas border. These people did not walk from Brazil carrying babies!  https://buffalonews.com/2019/06/18/sudden-influx-of-congolese-arrive-at-buffalo-shelter-for-asylum-seekers/

 
“It is beyond maddening!”
