Testimony to the US State
Department from Sue in Kansas, by Ann Corcoran on May 22, 2016
Editor: I am still combing through my hundreds
of e-mails to find the testimony you sent to the US State Department in
response to the DOS request for public comment on the “size and scope” of the
UN/US Refugee Admissions Program for FY2017.
The day before
the deadline for submission of testimony I noticed (maybe you were all ahead of
me and noticed!) that the dates were wrong in the Federal Register. I
happened to see a comment sent by lawyers to the DOS asking that the comment
period be re-opened because citizens, who might like to have testified, didn’t
think the notice was for a comment period this year, but for last year. See
here.
Kansas Governor
Sam Brownback withdrew the state of Kansas from the federal refugee program
last month, however, that effectively gives the job of resettlement over to a
non-profit group in the state with no elected official responsibility. It was a
good first step, but without step 2 (filing a states’ rights lawsuit), it is
essentially meaningless.
From Sue: FR
Doc 2016-09267 FY 2016 U.S. Refugee Admissions Program U.S. Assistant Secretary
of State for Population, Refugees, and Migration Anne C. Richard
The U.S.
Refugee Admission Program is out of control. It wreaks havoc on local
communities – economically, socially and culturally. The program favors Islamic
peoples and others that have no respect for our customs, laws or citizens.
We the people;
we the taxpayers are funding these programs. It is our hard earned money that
is used to bring in thousands of immigrants at a time when our country’s
economy is at a breaking point. The immigrants, not Americans, are given
preferential treatment at every turn – housing, education, medical assistance,
food and employment.
There are
factions of these groups of people that are violent – towards each other and
everyone else. Domestic abuse is not uncommon and that spill out into our
communities in the form of rapes and murders against women and children. Strict
and time consuming protocols tie the hands of our police on all the federal,
state and local levels. Criminals go unpunished. If they are deported, they
make their way back into our country because the system is broken.
Each and every
immigrant needs to be thoroughly vetted before being allowed into our country.
The program, as it is now, is run more like a cattle business. Immigrants are
treated like cash cows by the local contractors which have made a business of
raking in federal dollars for their non-profit programs. This is detrimental to
many immigrants as well as to the local communities. The immigrants receive a
crash course in how to survive in America and then are cast out into the
community. Is it no wonder that some will turn to theft, drugs and other crime
to try and survive?
Professional
immigrants are also given preferential treatment. Foreign doctors, scientists
and other professionals are recruited into hospitals, research institutions and
business. They can bypass the strict requirements our own college students must
abide by. How can American students fairly compete within this infrastructure?
Public schools,
colleges and universities are not immune to the lure of federal dollars to
accommodate foreign born students. Rather than teach foreign grade school children
about our country’s history and culture, in many cases, the opposite is
happening. Our children are taught and indoctrinated into foreign cultural
beliefs. At a time when Christian values and faith are mocked and denigrated,
Islam is being promoted as a religion of peace. Make no mistake, I support
clear, unbiased education. Let the facts speak for themselves, but how can this
happen when Islam mandates a political correctness for themselves and not for
all others?
Throughout
American history, immigrants have assimilated peacefully into our culture. They
became Americans. The Islamic Nation will never assimilate into our culture but
instead, will expect Americans to be dominated by their customs and laws. We
cannot allow this to happen.
Books have been
written about the immigration problems facing our country. Numerous articles,
research and statistics are available that are beyond the scope of this comment
section. More public input is necessary to work through the many problems that
plague this program and are detrimental to our nation. Checks and balances,
outside the government agencies, are necessary. If the system cannot be fixed
to the satisfaction of the American people; perhaps it should be dismantled.
The money could be better spent on helping our own citizens who are in dire
need of it.
This is the
thirteenth testimony in our series leading up to the deadline for comments to
the Dept. of State on May 19th. Go
here for where they
are archived to see what your fellow citizens have said.
I intend to
keep posting testimonies, a few a day, until I have exhausted my long list! I
had no idea so many of you would respond to my offer! But, thank you for
your hard work!
