Refugee Resettlement contractors find new House
bill “offensive” (blah, blah, blah), by Ann Corcoran 3/16/16
Of course, what
else do you expect. They will never admit that the UN/US Refugee
Admissions Program is flawed and should be reformed because their whole
livelihoods depend on it continuing exactly like it is with their phony
non-profit organizations almost completely funded by you, the taxpayer.
They want you to keep paying for their
‘religious’ charity, but leave them alone to run their ‘businesses’ and their ‘clients’ their
way—the way they have been since their hero Teddy Kennedy pushed the bill that
became the Refugee Act of 1980 through Congress.
I find it
“offensive” that as a taxpayer I pay McCullough’s salary! CWS CEO Rev. John L.
McCullough arrested at the White House in 2014 while protesting for amnesty for illegal aliens.
These are not ‘churches’ but are Leftwing community organizers. McCullough
pulls down a handsome six-figure salary partially funded by US taxpayers to do
his NO borders political activities.
I told you
about the bill they are all worked up about here,
yesterday, but it’s hard
for me to get excited about it because it strikes me as window dressing too
late in the legislative calendar to be meaningful. And, with Obama in the White
House there is no way it will ever become law. If by a miracle it passed
both the House and the Senate, would the leadership even have the guts to send
it to Obama, I doubt it.
It will be interesting to see if these same
Congressional leaders push any measure to reform the refugee program if Donald
Trump should be in the White House in 2017. And, at that point, do we want
the pro-cheap labor pushers, the water-carriers for the Chamber of Commerce,
Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, ‘reforming’ it when Trump will have the power to
cut it back himself?
All that said,
it is always fun to watch the contractors whine and moan as they did in a
conference call with reporters as we learned from CNS
News (emphasis is
mine):..during
a conference call with reporters on Tuesday, opponents of the legislation
called it “punitive” and “mean-spirited”, and claimed it would “dismantle the
U.S. refugee program.”
“It ties the
hands of the U.S. government to respond to humanitarian crises,” said Melanie
Nezer, vice president for policy and advocacy at HIAS (formerly the Hebrew
Immigrant Aid Society), who criticized provisions in the bill that would strip
refugee status from those who return to their home country and extends by two
years the time period for refugees to be eligible to apply for permanent
resident status “for no legitimate reason,” she said.
I find it
“mean-spirited” that Melanie Nezer wants to subject your community to refugees
from countries that hate us—she was among the first to demand Obama admit
100,000 Syrians this year in spite of an FBI warning. Nezer also objected to prioritizing “certain
religious minorities” which, she said, would “hinder our ability to take in
anybody.”
The bill “clearly discriminates against
Muslims as the intended target,” said Rev. John McCullough, a United Methodist
minister from New Jersey and president of Church World Service, which resettled 14,228 refugees from
sub-Saharan Africa in the U.S. in FY2014, according to its website.
Church World Service
head honcho, THE Reverend John McCullough finds it “offensive” that you,
citizens in towns across America, should have any say in who they seed into
your towns.
CNS
continues…..McCullough
told reporters that he finds it “offensive” that under the bill, states and
localities would be allowed to “determine who is welcome” instead of the
federal government.
“This is very
contrary to everything our country represents,” he said. “We have to call on
the moral courage of Congress to reject this anti-refugee legislative
proposal.” Continue
reading here. More
here on Church World Service.
P.S. Melanie Nezer
authored a report, here, which urged the Southern Poverty Law Center to go after this blog
(and me!) to try to expose us and silence us for disagreeing with her.
House immigration subcommittee set to mark-up
refugee reform bill tomorrow; why now? by Ann Corcoran on 3/15/16
It is my duty
to report on this bill being championed by Idaho Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho)
and Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte, but sorry I can’t get too excited about
it. And, although he is apparently a co-sponsor, why isn’t Subcommittee
Chairman Trey Gowdy (bff Open borders Marco) leading this effort? Hmmm…..
McConnell and
Ryan. Would we be better off with these two deciding how many refugees are
admitted to the US in the coming years? I’m still advocating for a complete
shutdown of the whole refugee resettlement apparatus!
Here is the press release from the House Judiciary Committee announcing
the mark-up of a bill that will likely go nowhere. I could be wrong, but at
this late stage in the legislative calendar and with an election coming up in
November, call me a cynic!
Does the
Committee want to make sure that the earlier Babin bill (which would
temporarily halt the program altogether) is squashed?
Are they trying
to calm down citizens in their districts who are clamoring for governors
(mostly Republican governors) to do something? In other words, is this a pat on
your heads with a ‘don’t worry, go about your business, we will take care of
you?’
And, let me ask
you, do we really want this particular pro-donor class (big business
establishment/Chamber of Commerce) Republican leadership making the
determination about how many refugees are admitted anymore than say a Trump
White House? Do you trust Rep. Paul Ryan and Senator Mitch (bring’em to
Kentucky) McConnell to set levels?
By offering fig leaves, are they attempting to
save the whole program which in my view (after 8 years of following this) needs
to be completely trashed!
And, does this
bill do anything to disrupt the flow of billions of taxpayer dollars to
unaccountable ‘religious’ non-profits who really call the shots on who is
resettled where in America? Someone correct me, does it do anything to give
them all the heave-ho?
Again, sorry to sound so cynical. I am
open to someone convincing me that this is going to do anything (other than
attempt to quiet the angry masses).
Oops! There is
one thing it does for sure. It causes the Open borders left and the Refugee Contractors (organized by their lobbying arm, Refugee Council USA) to go to their grassroots and fire
them up once again, see here. I enjoy seeing them aggravated,
but does stirring them up in this critical election year with a bill going
nowhere really help us?
Go here to see the press release (thanks
to all who sent it!).
That said, by all means though follow the lead
of groups like NumbersUSA pushing for you to contact your members of Congress.
You do want them to know that the issue is one that motivates and angers
you!
