Midway through fiscal year 2016, how is Obama doing
with his refugee surge? by Ann Corcoran, 413/16
Editor’s
note: I’ve been away for several days and so am terribly behind on the
refugee news. I was in Albany to receive an award from the NY State
Federation of Republican Women—their Woman in the Forefront award. It was
quite an honor! And, I took the occasion for a mini-vacation to visit
family and friends. Now back to work!
Yesterday, Leo Hohmann at World Net
Daily reported that
in order for Obama to reach his goal of placing 10,000 mostly Sunni Muslim Syrians in your towns by the end of the fiscal year (Sept. 30, 2016)
he has to get them security and health screened and distributed at the rate of
358 per week. See Hohmann’s excellent report here.
So I thought I would have a look at how Obama is doing with the
increased number of all refugees to be admitted.
In previous years Obama set the
ceiling on refugee admissions at 70,000, but this year it is 85,000 from around
the world with 10,000 of that number being Syrians. It appears he and his
team at the US State Department are way behind.
Checking the data as of yesterday
(12 days past the midway point in the year which was March 31), we have admitted
30,632 which leaves 54,368 to go.
To reach that goal in a
little over 5 months we are looking for an arrival rate of nearly 10,000 a
month! Yikes! Will your town be a new
resettlement site?
Before I get to the top states, we
reported that they are going to have to find new ‘welcoming’ cities (such as Ithaca, NY and I heard they were back in my county seat trying to
make inroads there where the program was halted for mismanagement in 2007).
Watch for efforts being made in your towns and cities to get a federal
resettlement contractor office open.
They will be scouting towns/cities with cheap subsidized housing which I
think is probably their major limiting factor.
Here are the top ten states for
resettlement in FY 2016. Remember these are only resettled “refugees” not
the much larger category of migrants you pay for which are now called by the
feds “humanitarian
arrivals” whose
total number is ranging around 200,000 a year now.
Texas (2,826)
California (2,816)
New York (1,742)
Ohio (1,452)
Washington (1,412)
Arizona (1,363)
Michigan (1,265)
Pennsylvania (1,163)
North Carolina (1,129)
Georgia (1,104)
And the next three (all over 1,000)
are Florida, Illinois, and Minnesota.
I am sure it didn’t escape your
attention that Washington, DC has received zero as has VP Joe Biden’s Delaware
(and it isn’t the size of the state because tiny Rhode Island got 111 so far
this year). Remember ol’ Joe was one of the Senators, along with Senator (don’t
bring them to Hyannis) Ted Kennedy, who created this program over 35 years ago.

Polls
show close to 70% of US citizens oppose the “refugee” invasion, yet we hear
very little from “our” Congress about diverting refugees back to their home
countries. We cannot keep these people, because they do not assimilate and will
insist on Sharia law. We will have to
send them all back. We need to stop all
UN funding and use it to pay for this debacle. We will need to keep Congress under Republican
“control” this November and fire all the Liberals we can. But we also need to replace the rest of our “big
spending” Liberal Democrats and Republicans in 2018.
