If you want to (really) do something? Call your
Member of Congress! by Ann Corcoran 6/13/17
Tell him or her that you want the Refugee
Act of 1980 scrapped
and the program defunded because it has been a boondoggle for supposed ‘religious’
charities who secretly place refugees (chosen first by the United Nations) in
your towns while their salaries/offices/travel and lobbying you pay for with
your tax dollars! They spend your money while putting your security in jeopardy!
President Trump can’t protect you all by
himself. You need to let Congress know that the UN/US Refugee Admissions
program must be defunded!
Every day I get comments and e-mails from readers
with a plea tell me what I can do! I’ve told you this before
many times you must make your members of Congress lives miserable no matter who
they are Left, Right or Center! Clearly Donald Trump can’t do this
alone! It is Congress that must change the law and it is Congress that
appropriates the money.
And, I don’t want to hear you say—they
don’t listen! Enough of you obviously aren’t demanding that they listen. Guess who knows the value
of Congress—-the refugee industry lobbyists and the contractors spending your
money! They are all calling
Congress this week because they get it!
World Refugee Day is
June 20th and in advance of that the industry has gone into high gear with a
grassroots lobbying campaign—-“stand with refugees” is a euphemism for give us
more money to move more third world poverty to American towns!
See the e-mail I just received (below).
Before you read it, I must emphasize that one call from you won’t change a
thing, you need to call again and again. Stand outside their district
offices too if necessary, visit their offices in Washington, DC make your
presence known!
This is what the refugee contracting industry
is telling their members to do (probably by the tens of thousands), so you need
to make sure Congress hears your side of the story too! This is from World
Relief (Evangelicals!)….
Tennessee: World Relief accused of not taking care
of their refugees, by Ann Corcoran 6/14/17
When refugees were initially being
placed in the county where I live (now more than 10 years ago), our community’s
first impression was that the ‘Christian’ resettlement agency—the Virginia
Council of Churches—was basically dropping off a couple hundred refugees,
placing them in deplorable housing, and then not providing them with some of
their basic needs.
I wanted to know what sort of
program was this. Did the government allow this? But, of course as we
know now, nine major federal resettlement contractors (including World Relief)
are federal government contractors who oversee a network of over 300
subcontractors. The nine sign
agreements with the US State Department laying out what services they will
provide refugees in their care. Indeed the contractor is paid by the head for
each refugee it is assigned.
Over the years, we have reported on
many cases like this one being made in Tennessee that the contractor is not
fulfilling its end of the bargain.
From The Tennessee Star: During the March “Murfreesboro Muslim Youth” (MMY) meeting
soliciting help for refugees brought to Rutherford County by federal
resettlement contractor World Relief, it was disclosed that goods and services
that the government paid for were not provided to the new refugees.
Abdou Kattih has been an outspoken
critic of efforts by the legislature to keep Shariah law out of TN and to rein-in
the refugee industry in the state.
According to Abdou Kattih, founder and president of MMY, were it not
for his organization, special emergency needs such as getting medical care for
the refugee who arrived with a broken jaw or simply providing household
essentials and even clothing, would not have been addressed, explaining they
had taken care of “someone that does not have literally anything but the
clothes they had off of last month.” Melissa Sohrabi, who merged her
group “Roots for Refugees” with MMY, was more direct in detailing the
deficiencies of the government contractor in this talk she delivered in March:
“There is
an expectation of what should happen and there’s reality of what really does
happen. Why didn’t World Relief give them a table and chairs? Why didn’t they
bring them a couch? What’s going on? Not
only did it not happen but if it did happen, those families are charged for
every belonging, every item that is donated to World Relief, the family is then
charged for, for having it delivered to them.”
World Relief (WR), based in
Baltimore, is one of nine national refugee resettlement organizations that sign
a “Cooperative Agreement” with the U.S. State Department to receive federal
funding to resettle refugees. This is taxpayer money allocated for each refugee
brought to a community; the funds are split between the refugee and the agency.
In addition, the resettlement agency is required to provide the goods and
services as detailed in the signed agreement.
Between fiscal years 2016 -17, WR
was paid over $40 million by the federal government to resettle refugees in
communities where they operate local offices which also receive federal funding
through grants administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services. Continue reading here.
One of several things that came to
mind when I read this, is something I have been wondering about for some
time. Five of the nine resettlement contractors are ‘Christian
charities’, one is Jewish and three are secular.
They all eagerly resettle Muslim
refugees, but I have wondered when will some Muslim charity demand to get in on
the federal gravy train? Laying the groundwork in this story?
Here are the nine federal
contractors that monopolize the US Refugee Admissions Program:
·
Ethiopian Community Development
Council (ECDC) (secular)
·
International Rescue Committee (IRC) (secular)
·
US Committee for Refugees and
Immigrants (USCRI) (secular)
