US refugee contractor Miliband says EU countries
must step up and take more refugees, by Ann Corcoran 4/4/18
Before
I tell you about ‘Moneybags’ Miliband’s proposal for his home country, the UK,
and for the whole of Europe, this article gives me an opportunity to clarify
something the No Borders gang doesn’t want you to understand.
If
you are saying Europe is already taking in hundreds of thousands of “refugees,”
how can they take more? Know that the over a million migrants, which have
descended on Europe in recent years, are not “refugees” until they have had
their asylum claims adjudicated and have been determined to be truly persecuted
people in need of refugee protection. The vast majority are illegal aliens/economic
migrants!
The
next time someone on the Left (or a politician) says we must do our share
because Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon are doing so much more, remember this: the migrants in those countries are
temporary. They will not become voting citizens as our admitted refugees will
be!
The
people Miliband is talking about are “refugees” mostly identified and
registered with the United Nations and who will become permanent residents when
they are admitted. Many live in UN camps in the Middle East, Asia and
Africa. It is (mostly) from that pool that the US has taken its
10,000+ over the last 6 months (see yesterday’s post).
For decades, without a doubt the US has taken the lion’s share of the
refugees the UN has identified and wants to distribute to the West.

Here
is The Guardian story with this headline: David Miliband
calls for leadership on refugee resettlement in the EU. It could be
sub-titled: Miliband
takes a whack at Trump!
David Miliband has called on the European Union to bring half a million
refugees to Europe over the next five years, which would mean providing homes
for almost 10% of the world’s most vulnerable refugees each year.
Under
the targets proposed by the International
Rescue Committee (IRC),
of which Miliband is chairman, the EU would commit to increasing targets of
European resettlement schemes to take in 108,000 refugees every year for five
years from refugee camps and communities in countries such as Jordan, Turkey
and Lebanon.
In 2017, 65,000 refugees were resettled worldwide, a third of the
number resettled the previous year (189,300). The EU provided resettlement places
for 23,000 refugees – or 1.9% of those eligible for resettlement. Under the
target being called for by the IRC, the EU would resettle 9% of eligible
refugees.
Let’s
stop for a minute and look at the numbers. I used the calendar year data
at Wrapsnet and see that in
2017, the US resettled just over half (51%) of the refugees resettled by the
whole Western world—33,368 (of the 65,000). Pew Research tells us that in
2016 the US share was also 51%, but get this….from Pew:
In 2016, for example, out of approximately 1 million eligible refugees
identified by UNHCR, an estimated 189,000 were resettled worldwide, with more
than half (51%) of these ending up in the United States. Between 1982 and
2016, the U.S. admitted more than two-thirds (69%) of the world’s
resettled refugees, followed by Canada (14%) and Australia (11%).
So
for nearly a quarter of a century the US was, by far, the most ‘welcoming’
country in the world! Yeh! Miliband is right—other countries need to pick
up the slack now. Time for the US to take a breather!
The Guardian continues….Miliband said Europe
had been “playing catch up” with the refugee crisis as it dealt with large
numbers of people [illegal
aliens!—ed] arriving
and claiming asylum over the past few years, but now had an opportunity to
“become a proactive player” on this issue.
“Europe
needs to recognize that this refugee crisis around the world is not going away
and Europe needs to have a proactive policy which includes the option of
refugee resettlement for a portion of the most vulnerable who are identified as
qualifying for refugee resettlement,” he said.
Miliband: Europe must lead because Trump isn’t!
Miliband said the need for Europe to provide world leadership had increased
after the Trump administration announced last year it would slash the US
resettlement target from 110,000 places in 2017 to a maximum of 45,000 places
in 2018. The US has traditionally taken the most refugees through
resettlement programs of any country.
Calling
Hungarian PM Victor Orban! Pay attention to Soros and Miliband! However, the calls are likely to face
opposition from some member states, which have refused to share the
responsibility of refugee hosting across the EU.
Last year, the European
commission began a legal case against the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland
for refusing to participate in a program that relocated refugees that had
arrived in Greece and Italy.
Under the IRC’s proposal, all EU member
states would be required to set a target for refugee resettlement,
proportionate to GDP and population. Most countries would have to dramatically expand their
resettlement programmes to meet this target. More here.

CEO David Miliband, pulls down an annual salary package of $671,749 (doing well

Humanitarian work pays well, if you can get it! If so, you can
catch “Moneybags” live at the Greenwich Library later this month: Talk on
refugee crisis -David Miliband, president and CEO of the International Rescue
Committee, will be interviewed by Lori Esposito Murray from the Council on
Foreign Relations in a talk titled “Refugees and the Political Crisis of Our
Time.”
This
conversation will take place in the Greenwich Library Cole Auditorium at 7 p.m. April 19. Miliband was a member of the
British Parliament before taking charge of the IRC, which conducts humanitarian
relief operations in more than 40 war-affected countries and refugee
resettlement and assistance programs in 28 U.S. cities. Murray is an adjunct
senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, an adjunct professor at the
University of Connecticut, and president emeritus of the World Affairs Councils
of America. Space is limited. Register at http://www.greenwichlibrary.org.

These are the nine federal resettlement
contractors which are hired by the federal government to take care of refugees
resettled in the US, but spend much of their time doing community
organizing and No Borders political agitation work against the sitting
President of the US.
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.
