The ISIS, Taliban terrorist eradication program in
Afghanistan includes a separate refugee program that needs to stop.
Regular refugee numbers don’t tell the whole story;
thousands of Afghans getting in to US each year in separate program, by
Ann Corcoran, 9/3/18.
They
are called Special Immigrant Visa holders (SIVs for short) and they
supposedly helped the US in some way (or they could have helped an NGO!),
sometimes as interpreters. They and their immediate family members are
welcomed to the US and treated with the same package of goodies refugees
receive.
Also,
we are told that the resettlement contractors are paid (by you) to place them
as well, and those funds we’ve heard are helping to keep the contractors from
completely going belly-up!
(See
my post yesterday about
the number of regular refugees admitted this fiscal year, the number is
relatively low, but the SIV number is not! 2,196 Muslims were admitted as
regular refugees, but add to that 9,166 Afghan Muslims in the last 11 months!)
Yesterday US General Austin Miller took
over NATO command in Afghanistan. We have been there for 17 years. Here
is what I want to know? If we continue to bring to America the tens of
thousands of Afghans who willingly helped us, won’t only the worst of the worst
be left in the country? http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/09/02/us-general-assumes-nato-command-in-afghanistan.html
I’ve
reported on these numbers previously, see here.
And, I told you here that
supposedly the Pentagon is fighting to keep the number high so they can offer
tickets to America as incentives for ‘helping’ us as interpreters etc. In
fact, some are not even at the interpreter level!
Know
that since FY07, we have admitted 9,884 regular refugees from Afghanistan, but a whopping 51,507 were admitted in addition
via the Special Immigrant Visa program.
Unfortunately
I don’t know how to get it all on one page. Go here (then click on Cumulative Arrivals by
State for Refugee and SIV – Afghan FY07 -FY17 as of August 27, 2018 ) and see the whole table which
tells how many went to each state. (BTW, I think that should read
FY07-FY18.).
California, Texas and Virginia! Will it ever end??? How long do we need to referee the various Islamic factions who can’t get along with each other???
California tops the list with 20,487 Afghans placed there.
Texas is second with 8,327 and surprisingly Virginia is third with 7,840.
Those numbers include both refugees and SIVs from FY07 to August 27th (FY18).
Total since FY07 is 61,391. 9,884
regular refugees and 51,507 SIVs from Afghanistan. Virginia is the 7,840 number
you see. That huge jump in FY17 to 16,866 does represent a Trump year
since he presided over a little more than 8 months of that year.
