Baltimore: Crime/murder rates up, police force
shrinking, and we are told refugees are bringing boom times. Posted by Ann

Of course
consider the source of this glowing tale of how Baltimore’s economy is on the
mend thanks to the large numbers of refugees and immigrants helping to
revitalize the community. The fluffy story is being peddled by non-other
than Think
Progress (think George Soros and John Podesta!).
But, first
don’t miss the news
from Reuters just two days
ago about how Baltimore can’t find enough policemen for a dwindling force while
the murder rate skyrockets, one reason Baltimore is in deep trouble.
Does it ever
occur to the social engineering geniuses in the refugee resettlement
industry/open borders movement that social unrest in inner cities could be
coming from forcing ethnic diversity on a struggling African American
community? Do the American citizens see the special treatment refugees
receive and does that cause some of the simmering anger to explode? (Remember we
learned here that rioting
blacks targeted the Arab-owned stores in those riots last year.)
Here is the Think Progress story that begins with the usual warm and fuzzy
tale of a refugee ‘making it’ in Baltimore. (Don’t forget our news from
yesterday about the storytelling propaganda
campaign being spearheaded by the UN’s ‘The Hive.’)
We know from
our research that refugees receive special grants and other loan programs that
allow them to purchase homes and businesses—programs not available to the local
African American community. Refugees also have special auto purchasing programs
funded by you.
Some local politicians see refugee
resettlement as a way to revitalize their cities and to harness talent and
skills for entry-level jobs that many native-born Americans may not necessarily
want to do. [What is this, ‘may not necessarily want to do?’ Might they necessarily
want to do it if wages were higher? Aren’t wages depressed when large numbers
of low-skilled refugees move in?—ed]
Baltimore Mayor
Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has seen the value in resettling refugees in her town.
Foreign-born workers earned about $1 billion in wages in 2011, with immigrants
holding more than 27,000 jobs. They also own 21 percent of the city’s businesses,
about three times more than the native-born population, a Baltimore City
government report found. Beyond Baltimore, many other cities have found that
resettling refugees could help grow the economy by allowing refugees to buy
homes, learn English, and eventually become citizens. [Think Progress of course does not report on how much the immigrants
take from the community in social service costs, school expenses, and certainly
the criminal justice system!—ed] Continue
reading here. So the star of
this story came to the US after being an illegal alien in Malta!
Switching
subjects! This is the first time I have seen a media reference to the
fact that ever since the Bush Administration the US State Department has been
scooping up aliens/ economic migrants who came to the island nation of Malta
from North Africa ILLEGALLY and presto-chango declaring them refugees! I’ve been writing about this subject for
almost nine years, this is just one
recent post.
Do you know
that when someone lands in Europe (for example) and asks for asylum that they
are to be granted asylum in the first country in which they land (or rejected
for asylum). But, the George Bush State Dept. changed all that for Malta.
We now take hundreds of Malta’s illegal aliens/ economic migrants off
their hands and transport them to America!
So, the star of Think Progress’s story was not
a real refugee. He was
an alien who got to Malta and was living there for several years before, as he
says, he chose to come to America!
WTH! (See
here, he was not a refugee!)
Admitted as a
refugee to the United States in April, G.T., who asked for his real name to be
withheld because he still has family back in Eritrea, didn’t always have a life
this consistently American. He spent nine months trudging through Eritrea to
Sudan, then another four months to Libya. From there, he took a perilous
journey by boat to Malta, where he worked for three years and four months.
While his own journey to Malta happened a few years before the European Union
began facing a crush of refugees from Africa and the Middle East, his trek was
hardly different from the one undertaken by millions of refugees traveling
across the Mediterranean Sea.
In Malta, G.T. was happy “when I heard that
there was a chance to go to America. Everyone knows that America has good
opportunities,” G.T. told Think Progress in a phone interview. “That’s why I
prefer to choose to come here.
Endnote: Think Progress ironically illustrates its story with a photo of
Baltimore’s Inner Harbor which was created when some very rich and powerful
developers, working in collusion with elected officials, condemned the homes
and apartments of many of the city’s poor (including African Americans!) to
develop the Inner Harbor. So poor people got the shaft and the supposed
champions of the poor at Think Progress are apparently too dumb to know. One more
reminder that ‘humanitarianism’ is only the cover used by the rich and powerful
to line their pockets.
