Bowling Green, KY: More confirmation that refugee
resettlement is not about humanitarianism, but about supplying cheap labor,
by Ann Corcoran

I had plenty of confirmation on my recent
30-day swing through cities and towns of the west and mid-west that it is
industries looking to boost their bottom lines that drive most refugee
resettlement in America.
It is food
processing/meat packing, manufacturing, and the hotel industry that have
discovered they can enjoy the cheap labor (while refugees continue to bolster
their income with welfare of all sorts) at the expense of the US taxpayer and
at the expense of the cultural and social upheaval communities experience.
Kantosky is the
COO of the International Institute of Kentucky. He must have told the BGN
reporter that they are choosing which refugees come to which city by a weekly
lottery system in Washington, DC. Photo at Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-kantosky-b12445115
Here is one
more piece of news to support what I have been saying for years.
And, remember as you read this that Bowling Green is Senator Rand Paul’s home
town.
At one time,
Paul was questioning the UN/US State Dept. Refugee Admissions Program.
That was in the wake of the arrests and ultimate conviction of two Iraqi
refugees found to be terrorists living and working there (so much for security
screening!). He is nowhere to be seen on the issue now.
I want to urge
all of you, as you to do your research on your refugee overloaded city (or city
about to become a ‘welcoming’ city), to research the campaign contributions of your
elected officials right down to the local mayor and council level. Find
out their business connections and expose them!
And, don’t
allow yourselves to get bogged down by the open borders Left trying to tell you
that the driver for the seeding of your towns with diversity is a humanitarian
desire to help the downtrodden of the world (tell them to help our own poor
people first!).
From the Bowling
Green Daily News (hat tip: Robin). What!
Kentucky has no more Americans who want jobs?
You should know
that the International
Center is a subcontractor of USCRI, that is the same federal contractor working in Twin
Falls, Idaho and wishing to start an office in Rutland, VT and Reno, NV.
Resettled
refugees are being sought at a greater frequency to fill local jobs, Chris
Kantosky, chief operations officer of The International Center of Kentucky told
the Barren River Area Development District board on Wednesday.
“There are 650
open manufacturing jobs in Warren County alone,” Kantosky said. The
International Center also has worked to help fill a 75-job need in Barren
County, and within two weeks 50 of the jobs were filled by refugees, he said.
“They are
coming to Bowling Green and Warren County because we have jobs, a great
educational system, a low cost of living, the community is safe and there is an
opportunity to excel,” said Kantosky, who has been working with refugees for
the past 26 years.
A one-time
allocation of $1,125 federal funds per refugee, or about $5,600 for a family,
is used to finance resettlement logistics. The money needs to be spent in about
30 days to buy everything from a clock radio to beds, furniture and food to
outfit the apartment selected for the refugees to stay. By the time the
individuals reach the Nashville International Airport from their home country,
they are a car ride away from a hot meal in their new home.
What Mr. Kantosky isn’t telling you in the
previous paragraph is that his agency gets approximately another $1000 per head
to spend on themselves! Now
this is incredible. I knew the contractors sat around in DC and
divvied up the refugees as they came in (LOL! I envision many squabbles as they
bid for bodies! But, has it come to this—a lottery!). So where are the
real reporters at places like the New York Times and Washington Post—why aren’t you
demanding entry to the weekly lottery meeting! I would like to know if
any industry lobbyists are in those weekly meetings!
Bowling Green News continues: Refugee resettlement locations are determined
by a weekly lottery in the nation’s capital. “A refugee can only go back to
their home country if their country is re-stabilized,” Kantosky said.
And, about this
bit about not going home—many refugees who get here are unhappy and want to go
home, but they are trapped because most can’t afford the airfare home. This
is the part of this program that makes many of us think about slave labor!
Click
here to see our extensive archive on Bowling Green and the many problems they
have had there over the years in addition to the Islamic terror scare a few
years ago. And, mosques are springing up everywhere to accommodate the
growing Muslim refugee population.
Most refugees
are on welfare of some sort which makes anyone who employs them eligible for
the federal Work
Opportunity Tax Credit. An employer thus has a greater incentive to hire a
refugee than some American who is struggling, but doesn’t want to be on welfare
(including food stamps). A refugee’s salary is subsidized by the US
taxpayer, while an average American’s job isn’t. I’ve wondered if Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was somehow involved in creating this system.
Any ambitious
researchers out there who would like to dig deeper into this program which
incentivizes hiring refugees and write a guest post, let me know!
