Former
State Department employee: virtually impossible to vet refugees, by Ann
Corcoran, 8/28/18.
Adding a knowledgeable and
experienced voice to the on-going debate in the White House on possible refugee
admission numbers for FY19, don’t miss Mary Doetsch writing at the Daily Caller yesterday
on the question of security screening of refugees.
FAILURES IN REFUGEE VETTING PROCESS LEAD TO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IN OUR
HOMETOWNS
Sadly, these cases are simply the tip of the iceberg. As a Refugee Coordinator who covered the Middle East, Africa, Russia, Europe and Cuba for eight years, I had first-hand knowledge of country conditions and political realities, and I saw and read hundreds of fraudulent refugee claims.
Sadly, these cases are simply the tip of the iceberg. As a Refugee Coordinator who covered the Middle East, Africa, Russia, Europe and Cuba for eight years, I had first-hand knowledge of country conditions and political realities, and I saw and read hundreds of fraudulent refugee claims.
As refugee contractors —
who make money on every refugee they resettle — break into hyper-lobbying mode
to demand that the Trump administration resettle “at least 75,000” in the
coming fiscal year, the recent lies and criminal activity of five refugees who
were resettled via the fraud-laden U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) are,
once again, being willfully ignored.
Four improperly deemed
“refugees” were charged with murder, lying to gain admission into the United
States, and immigration benefits, among other crimes, while a fifth was charged
with attempted murder.
In each case, the approved
refugee likely would have been subjected to the much-touted, though often
feckless, “enhanced vetting” that advocates say both ensures the legitimacy of
the refugee claim and protects U.S. security interests. Nonetheless, at least four
of the five successfully lied their way through what advocates claim is the
“most vetted” interviewing process, duping refugee officers with their
fabricated stories.
Disturbingly, the majority of
refugee claims are ultimately approved, despite serious questions regarding the
applicants’ reliability and truthfulness, often based solely on their
testimony.
Despite claims that
refugees are subject to the most intense scrutiny prior to resettlement into
the United States, the bottom line is that in countries with ill-functioning
governments or where no reliable data exists, it is virtually impossible to vet
refugee candidates.
Read it all here. Moratorium!
And, if you haven’t told the White House what you think about how many
refugees could be admitted to the US beginning October first, do it now.
I’m saying zero until the
refugee program is completely reformed by Congress!
