Everyone has forgotten about the 4 year African
family reunification MORATORIUM that began in 2008, by Ann Corcoran 2/6/17
Someone reminded me that in all of
the yakking about the power of the President when it comes to determining which
refugees (how many and from where) entering the US, the US State Department in 2008 halted
all family reunification (the so-called P-3 program) from Somalia and a few
other African countries. Why?
Random DNA testing found widespread
FRAUD. The so-called family members were lying about who was family! They were making up “ghost children.”
Over 20,000 African ‘refugees’ are
believed to have entered the US fraudulently in a period beginning in October
2003 and ending when the fraud was uncovered in 2008. They claimed family
relationships that were found to be false.
We first saw the news at the Wall Street
Journal in 2008, here. Then we followed the drama as the refugee
contractors (among others) tried to stop the State Department from requiring
DNA tests for all family reunification.
Here is a post I wrote in 2015 with several important links to follow to understand what
happened leading up to the FOUR YEAR moratorium on Somalis being able to apply
for their ‘family’ members to join them in your home towns! For
ambitious readers, click here for one of my earliest posts in 2008 with updates. Be
sure to read the fact sheet published by the DOS at the time (you will see it
in its entirety here).
In recent years, applications to the
P-3 program have been overwhelmingly African – primarily Somalis, Ethiopians
and Liberians accounting for some 95% of the P-3 applications.
Then this:
The rate of fraud discovered varies
among nationalities and from country to country, and is difficult to establish
definitively as many individuals refused to submit DNA samples. We were, however,
only able to confirm all claimed biological relationships in fewer than 20% of
cases (family units). The remainder contained at least one negative
result (fraudulent relationship) or refused to be tested.
This is what I said based on the
numbers: 95% of immigrants using this program are from Africa. 36,000
alone came in the years since 2003 and as high (or higher!) than 80% of those are
most likely here illegally.
As far as we know none of the
fraudulent entrants were identified and removed. The President through his Department of State
does have the power to selectively block certain ethnic groups from entering
the US. I followed the issue closely and I never saw the mainstream
media question the Administration’s right to stop these groups of so-called
‘refugees.’
