The EU tried to pawn off 100,000 Syrian refugees on
Brazil (the land of zika) by Ann Corcoran 6/18/16
Doesn’t sound
like it would have been a very humanitarian thing to do! And besides
isn’t Brazil in deep economic doo-doo? But who knew this was in the works! (No
longer in the works!)
From
Telesur: Acting President
Michel Temer suspended all talks with the EU over resettling refugees in
Brazil.
The unelected
coup government of Brazil, led by Michel Temer, suspended all talks with the European Union
Friday over resettling Syrian refugees in Brazil, ending the “open arms
for refugees” policy of President Dilma Rousseff which was put in place in
2013.
BBC Brazil was
informed by two people involved in the negotiations over accepting refugees
that the suspension was ordered by the new Minister of Justice, Alexandre de
Moraes, and sent to advisors and diplomats at a meeting this week.
The refugee plan was initiated under the
administration of former Justice Minister Eugene Aragon in 2013. Brazil sought to
obtain international resources to house about 100,000 people fleeing the conflict
in Syria over a five year period.
The government
of suspended President Rousseff was hailed by international aid organizations
over its readiness to provide a home for thousands of Syrian refugees who are
facing a strong tide of xenophobia and racism in Europe. (Maybe they were just
looking for some cold hard European cash!)
The article
goes on to say that the UN High Commissioner for Refugees was in on it too. We
have a small archive on South America and refugees, click

They have overloaded San Diego with refugees and now they
are boo-hooing!, by Ann Corcoran on June 19, 2016
Of course this
whine-fest is for one of two reasons (or both at once!). The Refugee
Resettlement Industry wants more of your money for programs (welfare, housing,
medical care etc.) and because San Diego and other big cities have foolishly
been so “welcoming” and consequently overloaded, that the industry now has a
big excuse to resettle refugees to small (newly targeted) cities throughout
America including Reno, NV, Rutland, VT, Charleston, WV, Ithaca, NY,
Fayetteville, AR and Missoula, MT (more?).
International
Rescue Committee is one of 4 major resettlement contractors responsible for
overloading San Diego! They are the same agency opening up shop in Missoula, MT

When the Refugee Act of
1980 was debated in
Congress in the late 1970’s, its chief sponsors, including Ted Kennedy and Joe
Biden, promised America that the program was not meant to bring more POVERTY to
our cities. Well, that is exactly what it has done and is increasingly
doing as Obama is now upping the numbers more and more each year. (He
will have one more shot for FY2017 to say how many come and unless we elect
Trump in November, there is no one with any guts to pull back on Obama’s last
determination! And, surely Hillary will just be an extension of Obama and the
wimps in Congress will do nothing).
From the San
Diego Union Tribune (hat tip: Joanne) where we learn that San Diego County gets 3,000 refugees
a year!
Refugees who are resettled in San Diego County
often face overwhelmingly high housing costs, poor living conditions, emotional
distress and limited access to health care, according to a new report by the Partnership for the
Advancement of New Americans. [And,
the do-gooders never ask themselves if they are really doing humanitarian work
for refugees or only to make themselves feel better!–ed]
The community
organization in City Heights surveyed an estimated 500 refugees and their
children in 20 neighborhoods in the county. Participants represented about 13
countries in Africa and Asia. Data in the report focused on refugees from East
Africa, Thailand and Burma because the organization has deep ties in these
communities and limited resources to expand the research, according to group
leaders.
Among the
findings outlined in the preliminary report: Poor English proficiency and
little to no education poses a significant barrier for employment East African
refugees earn a mean monthly household income of $1,774, while migrants from
Burma and Thailand earn a mean monthly income of $1,216. Only 24 percent of
East African men and 35 percent of East African women reported having a
personal physician. About half of East African participants said they hadn’t
had a routine checkup in the past year. [So
we don’t know if their latent TB is becoming active TB—ed] There is much
more, continue

Cloward
and Piven full steam
ahead! Using the poor to bring on the revolution! See our San
Diego archive. You might find it interesting
to know that there were some important Islamic terror trials there in recent
years.
Texas taking new approach to holding the line on refugee
resettlement…by Ann Corcoran
6/19/16
…..Feds expect Texas
to take 25% more refugees in FY2017—a whopping 11,020—and Texas is saying NO!
Texas is the
number one state in the nation for refugee resettlement (the goal is to turn
red states blue!) and frankly I believe it got that way because previous
governors weren’t paying attention, but that is water under the bridge so they
say.
The Texas
Commissioner is corresponding with BARBARA DAY, the Domestic Resettlement
Section Chief at the DOS Bureau of Population Refugees and Migration. She is
the person in charge of resettling refugees into your towns and cities. Day is
also an example of the revolving door between federal contractors and the
agencies from which they get their federal funds. Day came originally from
Lutheran Social Services of SD and then to a perch at headquarters—Lutheran
Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS) —before getting her present position at
the US State Department in 2005. There really should be a law against this
contractor/ federal agency revolving door! LIRS gets over 90% of its funds from
the federal government. http://2001-2009.state.gov/documents/organization/77949.pdf
You probably
saw the news that Governor Abbott’s recent
lawsuit was dismissed. But, what the Abbott administration is doing now bears
watching.
We’ve told you
before (here) that states
must submit a plan to the federal government each year about how the program
will be run in the state. They can get away with not renewing the plan if
nothing has changed. Most plans are just rough bureaucratic blue prints (that
they probably don’t follow anyway). But, back in April of last year, I wanted
you to get yours mostly to send a signal that you were watching.
Now we see that Texas
is taking this plan seriously and is attempting to use it to keep the US State
Department from increasing the numbers to be sent there.
(BTW, a
reminder! When hundreds or thousands (like in TX) of refugees have been
resettled and the State Dept. is working to bring in their extended family
members you can see how the numbers
will mushroom exponentially. The DOS wants to get the relatives into the
same towns (or at least nearby) where their family members have been placed
(seeded!). This is why I say in ‘Ten
things your town needs to know’ that once they open an office
and bring in the first refugees, your town is cooked!)
AUSTIN – The federal government wants Texas to
accept more than 2,000 additional refugees this year. Texas’ response: No thank
you.
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission
is putting the federal government on notice that the state will refuse to take
in more refugees than it did last year and will accept only those who do not
pose a security risk.
Texas on Friday submitted to the U.S.
Department of State a 2017 state plan for refugee resettlement, rejecting the
federal government’s proposal to increase the number of refugees moving to the
Lone Star State by 25 percent.
“Texas
continues to have concerns about the safety of its citizens and the integrity
of the overseas security and background vetting process of the federal
resettlement program,” Executive Commissioner Charles Smith wrote in a letter
to the U.S. Department of State. “Americans face an undeniable terrorist threat
that is imported through new manipulations of our national security protocols
each day.”
According to
Smith’s letter, the federal government is proposing to place 11,020 refugees in
Texas during fiscal 2017, an increase of 25 percent over the projected fiscal 2016
figure. Smith
wrote that the proposed funding is insufficient, as well, and concludes the
state could accept a maximum of 8,605 refugees. It is unclear how many refugees
have been placed this fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. [One could easily find out how many
refugees have been resettled in Texas this year until just a few days ago.
It appears that the Dept. of State has removed its data
base that
reporters have been using for months from public view.—ed]
Rewriting their plan to add security
requirements for the feds! Smith sent his letter and the state’s 2017 plan for handling refugee
settlements in response to an email from Barbara Day, chief of domestic resettlement
for refugee admissions at the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration in
the state department. According
to Smith, the letter to Day outlined the agency’s plan to boost the number of
refugees settling here, although the Texas commission could not produce the
letter late Friday.
Texas will
accept only refugees who can be certified to Congress that they do not present
a security threat, according to Texas’ 31-page version of a resettlement plan
that would take effect in the new fiscal year that begins Oct. 1. According to
the proposal, the FBI must certify to the Department of Homeland Security and
the Director of National Intelligence that potential refugees have received a
background check sufficient enough to determine whether the individual is a
security threat, and may only be admitted to the U.S. after all three agencies
certify to Congress the individual is not a threat. Very interesting! Continue

complete archive on Texas here.
More on Barbara Day…. Here she is working with National
Immigration Forum (Soros!) honcho and Muslim rights activist Ali
Noorani where they are teaching Wilson-Fish
grantees how to craft a positive message about refugees to make them more
accepted in reluctant communities. And, you can watch
her here explain how
wonderful the refugee program is.
