Office of Refugee Resettlement threatens
governors, says they can’t discriminate against Syrians. Posted by Ann Corcoran on November 28,

The way to
solve the latest argument by the Obama Administration and the NO borders gang
is to defund
all refugee resettlement in the upcoming ‘omnibus’ and not single-out the
Syrians for special treatment.
First
Reema (from Jeh Johnson) and now this as the
administration pulls out all the stops to get those 10,000 mostly
Muslim Syrians resettled in your towns.
All of this activity demonstrates that the
UN/US State Department Refugee Admissions Program is in the greatest crisis it
has ever faced in 35 years since Senators Ted Kennedy and Joe Biden, among
others, sent the bill to Jimmy Carter for his signature.
The revolving door!
We wrote about
Carey, at the IRC in 2013, out stumping for Syrians to be admitted to the US.
Unfortunately, but no surprise, all links back to what Carey said have been
removed and the IRC doesn’t allow you to check their employees list either.
What are they hiding? https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2013/09/04/ircs-bob-carey-the-syrians-are-coming-soon-because-we-are-going-to-make-it-happen/
Before I get to
ORR chief Bob Carey’s letter to governors, a little background on the revolving
door for new readers (also go
here to our recent
fact sheet for general overview of program):
The UN High
Commissioner for Refugees chooses most of our refugees. The US State
Department admits them and Homeland Security screens them (as best they can).
The State Department PRM (Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration)
contracts with nine
supposedly non-profit group contractors to resettle them through about
312 subcontractors (at one point the State Department was throwing the number
350 around) to most US states. PRM is overseen
by Anne Richard who was a former vice President of contractor—International Rescue Committee.
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) is in
the Dept. of Health and Human Services and is the major dispenser of your money to the
contractors through myriad federal grants.
The present
director of ORR is Robert Carey who came over from one of the nine contractors
(wait for it!)—International Rescue
Committee (IRC)—where he served as a vice President. His
predecessor at ORR was Eskinder Negash who had come over from another
contractor the US Committee for
Refugees and Immigrants.
Negash has
since returned to a perch at his former employer—US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI). Are you still
following me? Negash’s boss
at USCRI, Lavinia Limon, was Bill Clinton’s director of ORR before she left to
become President of USCRI. LOL! did you get that!
Both Carey and
Anne Richard came from the International
Rescue Committee headed by BRITISH former foreign secretary David
Miliband, bff Clinton,
Soros and Samantha Power. (We have an extensive
archive on Miliband,
brother of Britain’s “Red Ed.”)
Contractors enter
government and become the dispenser of your tax dollars and then they leave
government when administrations change and become the recipients of your tax
dollars—and around and around they go!
Back to the Bob Carey letter to governors (remember he is relatively new at ORR
and was pulling down a six-figure salary from the IRC before becoming the big
shot now threatening governors).
In April of
this year, Carey moved from his job with super-wealthy contractor, IRC, and
into the government where he dispenses your money to his former employer.
Shouldn’t there be a law? http://www.acf.hhs.gov/blog/2015/05/an-interview-with-bob-carey-orrs-new-director
The Obama administration has warned states to
comply with federal efforts to resettle Syrian refugees in communities around
the U.S. or else find their states subject to enforcement action.
In a letter this week, the Office of Refugee
Resettlement threatens states concerned about resettling Syrians with punitive
responses if they refuse to accept the refugees. ORR explains that states may not refuse
ORR-funded benefits for refugees on the basis of religion and national origin.
“Accordingly, states may not
categorically deny ORR-funded benefits and services to Syrian refugees,” ORR Director
Robert Carey wrote in the letter. “Any state with such a policy would not be in
compliance with the State Plan requirements, applicable statutes, and their own
assurances, and could be subject to enforcement action, including suspension
and termination.” I’m afraid of
overloading you, but beware of termination because the feds and contractors may
well make your state a Wilson-Fish
state, if it isn’t already. They
would like nothing better.
The agency also
pointed to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibiting discrimination for
federally funded assistance benefits. Refugees are immediately eligible for welfare and
other benefits upon admission to the U.S.
“Thus, it is not permissible to deny federally
funded benefits such as Medicaid or [Temporary Assistance for Needy Families]
to refugees who otherwise meet the eligibilities requirements,” the letter
reads. “ORR is committed to ensuring that all refugees receive assistance and
services vital to achieving their potential in the United States and becoming
self-sufficient, integrated members of our communities.”
If nothing else
comes out of this, we are pleased to say that the American taxpaying public is
being educated about the huge costs this program places on our welfare
system—nationally and locally! The contractor’s job is to get refugees
their welfare benefits and then they move on to the next paying batch of
refugee CLIENTS.
Nine major
federal contractors which like to call themselves VOLAGs (Voluntary agencies)
which is such a joke considering how
much federal money they receive:
