That sentiment that got the Open Borders pushers undies in a wad, is a sentiment expressed from time to time over the years at Refugee Resettlement Watchespecially as it relates to Somalia.
Why indeed aren’t the well-educated (on the US taxpayer’s dime) and know-it-all Somalis in America going back and doing anything for Somalia and their fellow Africans? The controversy surrounding Trump’s remarks and Omar’s own in-your-face style have gone a long way to educate Americans about Somalis in the US. Keep her talking! The excuse now of course is the terrorism there thanks to Al-Shabaab, but long before the Islamic terrorists Somalis couldn’t govern themselves because clans squabbled among themselves and corruption was rampant.
The United Nations is finding out the hard way that few want to go to that mess of a country as they try to repatriate Somalis from their huge camp, Dadaab. Periodically the Kenyan government threatens to close it because they say it is a hot bed for terrorist organizing and recruiting. (The US State Department plucked Socialist Rep. Ilhan Omar from Dadaab.)
I’m posting this storyto show that Western nations no longer have much interest in ‘welcoming’ Somali refugees to their countries—are they just too much trouble?
UN: Fewer refugees willing to leave Dadaab for Somalia
Insecurity in Somalia is diminishing the numbers of refugees willing to return home from the Dadaab camps in Kenya, the United Nations said recently. Over 200,000, mostly Somalis, live at Dadaab
A total of 84,230 Somalis have taken part in the UN’s voluntary return programme since its inception five years ago. So far this year, fewer than 1400 have gone back to Somalia under UN auspices.
[….]
The Dadaab head count stood at 210,472 at the end of June. That represents a decline of only 84 persons over the past three months.
This is the part I wanted you to see! Of course up until the Trump presidency we had admitted over 140,000 Somalis to America as refugees. A vast number of those came to us from this UN camp. That number doesn’t include all of the other ways Somalis ‘found their way’ here.
Canada and Sweden will take the most this year from Dadaab!
The quota for transfer of Dadaab residents to other countries stands at 975 individuals for all of 2019. Canada is set to receive the largest share of Somali refugees (350), followed by Sweden (300), Australia (200), United Kingdom (75) and the United States (50).
There is thus little chance that the Dadaab complex will soon be emptied of refugees — unless they are forced to leave. But the Kenyan government has pledged to respect the rights of refugees, including safeguards against involuntary repatriation.

See my previous posts on Dadaab here, and don’t miss the story on UN corruption there. New American Ilhan Omar posts are here.
If you have been following the controversy swirling around the charge that Rep. Ilhan Omar might have committed fraud by marrying her brother, there might have been a fraud committed years before that even. Omar or Elmi? Hmmmm….
Back in 2008 I began a series of reports on the so-called P-3 program that permits already resettled refugees in the US to apply to bring in ‘family’ members.
All of that was chronicled at Refugee Resettlement Watch that WordPress suspended.
However, here John Binder writing at Breitbart sums up the State Department scandal and points to an important report by a former ICE attorney who says of the fraud that tens of thousands of Somalis got into the US and once the fraud was revealed there there were no repercussions for the cheaters.
“This was staggering irresponsibility, possibly the biggest blunder in immigration history.”
A refugee program that allowed foreign relatives of already-arrived foreign refugees to the United States was halted, altogether, more than a decade ago due to mass fraud among applicants.
This week, Powerline blog’s David Steinberg suggested that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) entered the U.S. in the mid-1990s as a third-priority, known as P-3, refugee — that is, a refugee who is admitted to the country due to their ties to an already-resettled refugee. Steinberg’s report also claims that Omar committed immigration fraud when she falsely entered the country as a member of the “Omar” family that had already resettled in the U.S.
In 2008, after thousands of foreign nationals had entered as P-3 refugees, the program was halted by the *Bush administration* due to mass fraud wherein the State Department, through DNA testing, was able to confirm family relations between the program’s applicants in less than 20 percent of cases. Overall, about 87 percent of P-3 refugees’ family relation claims turned out to be fraudulent.
BTW, guess who opposed DNA testing for family reunification?
If you guessed the nine federal resettlement contractors—groups like the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service and so forth, you would be correct!
Why? They claimed that the definition of ‘family’ is different in African culture and we should respect their ideas of family.
Binder continues….
Charles Thaddeus Fillinger, a former federal immigration official, has detailed the enormous fraud that has occurred among P-3 refugees in his 30-page policy paper, calling the program “the greatest refugee fraud crisis in modern times.”
More here.
Here is a screenshot of the opening page of Fillinger’s treatise on the massive fraud perpetrated mostly by Africans for possibly decades.
I am so glad to see that this era of fraud has not been swept under the rug. Interesting that it would take a scandal swirling around a member of Congress to help bring it to light.
I had to laugh when I saw a guest on Fox Newsyesterday say that Rep. Ilhan Omar (or whatever her name is) did it right by entering the US legally!
Wonder if we can go back and identify the thousands of immigration cheats. Just dreaming!
See all of my previous posts on Rep. Ilhan Omar by clicking here.
Surely you have all seen this news, but as I started to pull my round-up together for last week (yes, I am late!), I realized I need to post this more prominently even if most of you have seen the latest installment of Ilhan’s exciting life. And, I am posting it because she casually mentions that she followed Muslim law when she married hubby number one. This is how Sharia creep works! Many people will just say ‘well, okay.’ (See my postyesterday.) Omar celebrating with husband number one (and now number three). In between she allegedly married her brother.
Diversity is beautiful alert!
Thanks to all of you who alerted me to this news from Little Mogadishu, Minnesota.
The frightening incident occurred last Friday evening at a light rail station near the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. University of Minnesota light rail station I’ve said it many times, but someone needs to make a quality documentary film about how Minnesota is being changed by an expanding Somali population originally seeded by the US State Department and ‘religious’ charities paid by the taxpayers to place large numbers of UN refugees there.
Then take that documentary on the road!
We have been cleaning out UN refugee camps in Kenya for decades and now are seeing the fruits of that foolishness.
I expect Minnesotans think that most of America knows what is going on there, but I am telling you that average Americans (like those in Maryland where I live) have no idea there are even some Africans from a place called Somalia living there, let alone that they are causing such chaos.
Hah! Maybe in some ways it’s good that the very vocal Ilhan Omar is representing a portion of the state in Congress. She is helping educate the rest of the country!
Anyway, back to the hammer-wielding Somali teens which reminded me of the Lewiston city park attack by Somali teens in June of 2018 that resulted in the death of a white man. But apparently no injuries were reported in the Minnesota rampage. Continue reading “Minnesota: Somali Teens Attack Bystanders with Hammers and Pipes, Mainstream Media Mum”→
Update! The mother is changing her story, says there might have been a “cultural misunderstanding.” See here.
Will keep an eye on this…..
Reports so far are sketchy, but last night a mother who was packing a fire arm was able to stop what appears to be a kidnap attempt involving her 5-year old daughter. Mohammad Fathy Hussein Zayan is under arrest after he allegedly grabbed the young girl by her hair and attempted to drag her away from her mother. Mohammad Fathy Hussein Zayan, 54, of Egypt was arraigned Monday night.
