US Refugee Admissions Program is secretive,
elected officials are not given information, Posted by Ann Corcoran on March 4, 2016
This is a
subject we have talked about many times on these pages and it appears here
again in a short story about the Obama Syrian refugee resettlement plan at Breitbart.
I’ve been
fascinated with the Somali Muslim colonization of Greeley, CO for years. So
when I saw that a county commissioner there recently complained about the
refugee program, I was reminded of this post I wrote almost two years ago: https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2014/04/21/if-sayyid-qutb-could-see-greeley-now/

Huston begins: President Barack Obama
has been quietly pushing new plans to bring thousands of additional Syrian
refugees into the country, despite the concerns of state and county officials
and the outrages committed by welfare-dependent migrants in Europe.
But, before I
get to the important part, we posted the chart mentioned here last night
(perhaps Breitbart
is the original source of the chart?) about which cities received refugees in
FY2015.
Huston says
this: A chart made earlier this year with information culled from the
Refugee Processing Center, an agency of the U.S. Department of State, shows where Syrian refugees have already
been placed in the U.S. That is not accurate. It is a listing of
all resettled refugees from all countries for FY2015. Syrians were only
a tiny fraction.
Now this is the part
of the Breitbart story that caught my eye!
A Greeley, CO
county commissioner says they are not informed of arriving refugees! However,
federal law says local governments must be consulted! Yet, this is
one of the most common complaints we hear—local elected officials and citizens generally
are completely left out of the information loop. Why? Because the contractors
know that if they were completely open about what they are doing, people would
object!
A lack of communication on the placement of
migrants also exists. In Greeley, Colorado, Weld County Commissioner Sean
Conway recently noted, “Many times we don’t even know that relocation is taking
place until it’s going on.”
Visit this handy list and see that it is Lutheran Family Services Rocky Mountains (formerly ‘of Colorado’) that is
resettling refugees in Greeley. I must say that the Lutherans are turning out
to be among the most egregiously secretive of the federal contractors when it
comes to being open and honest with local communities.
In fact it was
this same agency that had hoped to open a new office in Casper, Wyoming whose
leaders complained that the word got out to the public there prematurely before
they could get their propaganda machine in place. See post here almost two years ago.
Note to Commissioner Conway! You have a right to something the
contractors call an “R &P Abstract.” We have written about this important planning
document on many previous occasions. So call up the Greeley office of Lutheran Family Services and demand the abstract for FY 2016.
It will tell
you how many refugees they plan to drop off in Weld County this year and will
list all the welfare/medical/ educational goodies you have available in your
community for the “new Americans.”
For new readers
we have written extensively on Greeley, Somalis and meatpacking. Click here for years of background posts. The Lutherans have been supplying
local meatpackers with cheap immigrant laborers for years. Is there a
‘Pocket of Resistance’ forming in Greeley? I would like to know!

In
earlier days, counties had to approve immigrant admission to their counties. Those counties who had major projects going
on, like building railroads, mining coal or working in factories requested
immigrants to enter their counties. Once
they arrived, many railroad builders followed the railroad construction through
to other counties. Coal miners and factory workers could stay with the mines or
factories. They were free to go wherever they could afford to go.
The idea
was that immigrants would need to live in counties and would need to be
self-supporting and get jobs to support themselves. When immigrants had family members, they
would sponsor their immigration and the immigrant would live with those family
members until they could afford to move to a place of their own.
