Another month with small numbers of paying
customers for the refugee contractors, by Ann Corcoran 5/1/18
Month
number seven of fiscal year 2018 ended last night, and from the contractors
point of view, it was another dismal one for agencies collecting a per head
payment for refugees they place and ‘take care of’ for only a few months.
April’s total was 1,607 which is below average for the previous six
months (average 1,758 for previous months this FY).
It will be interesting to see what
happens with the Refugee Program and those SIVs now that a couple of serious
hardliners are in place. CAIR recently called Pompeo an “Islamophobe.”
I know for many of you this is 1,607 too many, but believe me this is
catastrophic for those NGOs that got fat and lazy on budgets as much as 99%
supplied by the US taxpayers.
In
September of 2017, President Donald Trump (the President has the complete
authority to set the cap for the coming year), set the FY18 cap/ceiling at
45,000. At the present rate he will likely just pass the 20,000 mark for
the year. There is no legal
requirement that he reach the CEILING he set!
The total admissions for the regular refugee program for this year are
now at 12,156. (However, 8,480 Special Immigrant Visa
holders/families from Iraq and Afghanistan must be added to that. They are
paying customers too!)
Top
five ‘welcoming’ states are Ohio (902), Texas (896), New York (737), California
(697) and Washington (692).
(So
much for Texas withdrawing from the program!)
Bottom
five ‘unwelcoming’ (not including territories) states are Mississippi (2),
Washington, DC (1), West Virginia (1) and Hawaii which wants a whole lot of
them (0), and Wyoming which has never joined the program (0)! In a few days
more data will be available at Wrapsnet (Refugee
Processing Center) on nationalities and I’ll give you a rundown then (less work
for me now!). Somalis trickle
in….
However,
since one especially anxious reader wanted to know how many Somalis have been
admitted this fiscal year, the answer is 222. 74 of those went to Minnesota and
the remaining were scattered across 24 other states. How long will it take them
to migrate to MN?
One
thing I haven’t mentioned for a while is the fact that refugees can move
wherever they wish in America, even right away. In refugee industry lingo it is called
“secondary migration” and Minnesota is always the top destination state for
secondary migrants.
Contact the White House and
tell the Prez what you think—it will take only a few minutes and every little
bit helps. Contact link in the top right hand column at RRW!
I
post the contractor list almost every day because I want new readers to know
exactly who is responsible for driving the US Refugee Admissions Program (in
addition to the UN!).
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 (welfare)! 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%)
