Kentucky refugee numbers
dip, drop, dwindle, by Ann Corcoran 4/2/18
This is what I wanted you to see! Despite the low number of arrivals, Mbanfu told the center’s partners it is going to ask for permission to resettle 440 refugees next fiscal year.
This is what I wanted you to see! Despite the low number of arrivals, Mbanfu told the center’s partners it is going to ask for permission to resettle 440 refugees next fiscal year.
The center was previously granted permission to resettle that amount before Trump took office. If the Trump State Department does not head this off now, they face another refugee industry anti-Trump media blitz come September.
We know that, so why am I posting yet
one more “plummet”
story that the
refugee industry has fed the media?
Because in this story we see the
beginning of the strategy
for Fiscal Year ’19 which I mentioned here the other
day.
Right on cue they have begun the PR push for pre-Trump levels of refugee
admissions.
From The Messenger: International Center of Kentucky faces dwindling refugee
arrivals. Albert Mbanfu, the center’s executive director, met with community
partners Thursday to discuss resettlement issues. Mbanfu said after the meeting
that the center is experiencing a slowdown but that the federal government
isn’t saying why. (Learn about Stakeholder meetings, here.)
Mbanfu is presiding over a Stakeholders
meeting that includes school and health officials,
etc. These meetings are supposed to be open to the public, so all of you should
be finding out when they are held and request to be present. After all, as the
taxpayers paying for all of this, you are the biggest stakeholder of all!
The Messenger continues….In light of this [discussion about Trump slowdown.—ed], Mbanfu said the center has been asked to rework its
budget. He said in a follow-up interview that the center has made cuts and
reduced staff.
“A year and a half ago we were at about
30 and right now, full- and part-time staff, we are down to 22, and there are
still plans to reduce that further,” he said of the agency’s employees.
During the meeting, Mbanfu also
discussed plans to scale back funding for refugee resettlement agencies across
the country.
“Beginning Oct. 1 [Fiscal year ’19 begins that day.—-ed], not all of the refugee resettlement
agencies will be open,” he said. “Many will close their doors.”
Mbanfu said the center’s volunteer
agency, the U.S.
Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, is working on a proposal to keep its affiliated agencies
open. More information should be available in August or September, he said.
I have to laugh. I’ll bet some of
those officials which have to cope with large numbers of refugees in the
schools and health system are keeping their fingers crossed that 440 won’t be
coming next year! The
strategy is taking shape!
Apparently, the strategy is for all
three hundred or so subcontractors (of the nine major contractors) to
prepare Abstracts for the coming year as if
President Trump wasn’t even there. They know he won’t go for Obama-level
numbers, but they plan to use their request for high numbers in the inevitable
media agitation campaign.
Those Abstracts go to the US State Department
(as a basis for next year’s determination) and if the DOS was smart they would put
the word out right now that they won’t entertain any Abstracts that come in at
Obama-era levels. They
could even put out a percentage. For example an Abstract must come in at
say 25% of its FY18 submitted level.
(They will get one anyway, but at least
the contractors won’t be able to use their submitted Abstracts in the process.)
BTW,
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
has never lifted a finger to reform the refugee program. At one point, after
those Iraqi refugee terrorists were caught in his home town,
Senator Rand Paul took a stand against
the program, but quickly shut down his criticism. I think KY is one of those states that
welcomes cheap refugee labor for BIG CHICKEN! and for the Chamber of
Commerce.
Wouldn’t you like to know what ol’ Mitch
and Rand are telling Trump behind the scenes about refugee resettlement!
For new readers, these (below) are the
nine federal refugee contractors that have been driving more refugee
resettlement for over three decades. The program will never be reformed
as long as these fake non-profits are funded with taxpayer dollars and are
permitted to wage political organizing/agitation campaigns.
The International Center of Kentucky works for the US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, a contractor which has a
checkered past (in Kentucky too!).
The number in parenthesis is the
percentage of the nine VOLAGs’ income paid by you (the
taxpayer) to place the refugees, line them up with (low paying) jobs in food
production and cleaning hotel rooms, and get them signed up for their services! From most recent accounting, here.
Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC) (secular)(93%)
International
Rescue Committee (IRC) (secular) (66.5%)
US
Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) (secular) (98%)
