Omnibus brings 300,000 more Muslim Visas a year
Congress Votes To Fund Nearly 300,000 Visas For Muslim Migrants
In One Year
(Breitbart) –
The House passed Rep. Paul Ryan’s $1.1 trillion omnibus spending
bill, negotiated with Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). A majority of House
Republicans voted for the measure, which fully funds Obama’s refugee
resettlement operation, all Mideast immigration programs, Sanctuary Cities,
Obama’s continued executive amnesty for DREAMers, and the resettlement of
illegal aliens within the U.S. interior.
In perhaps a display
of loyalty to Ryan, three-fifths of the Republican conference supported his
legislation, and even gave him a standing ovation following the bill’s passage.
In passing
this legislation, the House has approved funding for the issuance of
nearly three hundred thousand visas to migrants from Muslim countries in
the next year alone.
Ryan’s bill accomplishes
this migrant surge by fully funding every U.S. immigration program currently in
existence, as well as funding the President’s expansion of the refugee program
through Syrian migrant resettlement.
The most recent
available data published by the Department of Homeland Security shows that in
2013, around 118,000 migrants from Muslim-majority countries were
permanently resettled within the United States on green cards, as well as
approximately 40,000 refugees and asylees from Muslim countries. Additionally,
according to data from the State Department, in 2013 the U.S. voluntarily
admitted approximately 123,000 temporary migrants from Muslim countries as
foreign students and foreign workers.
On top of those
autopilot admissions, which will be funded throughout all of 2016, the
House is also funding the President’s plan to add another 10,000 refugees from
the Muslim country of Syria. As a result, Ryan’s House-passed omnibus will
bring in nearly 300,000 Muslim migrants in the next 12 months alone, including
roughly 170,000 who will be permanently resettled within the country.
In a December 3rd letter to administration officials, Sens. Sen. Jeff
Sessions (R-AL) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) explained that the
permeant resettlement of 170,000 Muslim migrants will be on top of
the already huge inflow of temporary Muslim migrants:
Congress is days away
from consideration of an omnibus year-end funding bill that would set the
U.S. on an autopilot path to approve green cards, asylee, and refugee
status to approximately 170,000 migrants from Muslim countries during the next
fiscal year. In addition to that would tens of thousands of temporary visas for
entry and employment, and the entire sum is added to the rest of the annual
autopilot green card, asylee, refugee, and foreign worker flow.
This means that
next year, the U.S. will admit more than two Muslim migrants for
every one Iowa Republican primary voter.
Reports have
documented how the admission of large flows of Sharia-sympathetic Muslim
migrants has posed several assimilation challenges for the nation. For
instance, Equality Now issued a report detailing how Muslim
migration has put half a million U.S. girls at risk of suffering Female Genital
Mutilation.
Similarly, Aayan Hirsi
Ali has documented how honor violence and honor killings have
become prevalent throughout the nation. Hirsi Ali has explained
how the number of honor violence victims is only “likely to rise in the years
to come” since “immigration trends over the last ten years, show a significant
increase in the number of people moving to the United States from countries
with high-honor violence rates—notably Somalia… as well as Iraq.”
Moreover,
a September 2015 Congressional report found that Minnesota,
which has the largest Somali population in the country, also has the largest
number of radicalized individuals who have attempted to take up arms and join
ISIS in the fight against the West.
Yet many members of
Congress do not seem aware of these reports. For instance, in an October
interview with Congressman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Breitbart News asked Jordan
if he thought visa issuances to Muslim countries should be reduced, citing
the fact that in his home state of Ohio, which has a large Somali population,
more than 20,000 girls are at risk of having their sexual organs cut from their
bodies.
Jordan’s response
was, “In Ohio? Wow.” Jordan could not say whether he would support curbs to
Muslim immigration declaring,” I’d have to look at that closer. I have not
looked at that particular.”
Yet in addition to
funding visas for nearly 300,000 Muslim migrants, Ryan’s omnibus bill also
funds the expansion of the H-2B guest-worker visa, which according to
immigration attorney Ian Smith will disproportionately “hurt America’s most
vulnerable workers” such as black workers, single women, the elderly, and
first-generation immigrants. This provision– tucked 700 pages into the
bill– resuscitates and expands a controversial provision of Sen.
Marco Rubio’s Gang of Eight immigration plan to increase guest-workers.
The expansion of the
H-2B program seems to confirm previous Breitbart News reporting, which observed that a Ryan
Speakership would mean the desires of 9 in 10 Republican voters to
reduce future immigration growth would be trumped by donor class’ desire
to increase immigration.
As Breitbart News wrote prior
to Ryan’s election as House Speaker: House conservatives
would have as much, if not more, to fear from Ryan as Pelosi in terms of
striking a deal to advance amnesty and immigration-expansions on the House
floor… Conservative lawmakers will be blocked from any attempt to advance
legislative campaigns to curb immigration or to coordinate any public messaging
designed to give voice to the concerns of working class Americans whose
schoolhouses, jobsites and emergency rooms have been transformed by massive
immigration.
However, on Thursday
morning Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), a member of Ryan’s leadership team,
sent out a WHIP alert to Congressional legislative staff, touting Bob Goodlatte’s visa
expansion program. Goodlatte, who serves as Chairman of the House Judiciary
Committee, has been a long-time supporter of importing more foreign workers
into Virginia.
Scalise–
in praising Goodlatte’s proposal which Mark Levin
has said will hurt black Americans filling blue-collar jobs– said
that quadrupling H-2B visas will help employers suffering from so-called
“worker shortage”. However, the data contradicts Scalise’s claim.
As Sen. Sessions
has highlighted, the Economic Policy Institute has documented how, “wages
were stagnant or declining for workers in all of the top 15 H-2B occupations
between 2004 and 2014,” and “unemployment rates increased in all but one of the
top 15 H-2B occupations between 2004 and 2014, and all 15 occupations averaged
very high unemployment rates… Flat and declining wages coupled with such high
unemployment rates over such a long period of time suggest a loose labor
market—an over-supply of workers rather than an under-supply.” In his sales pitch to
the Republican Conference, Scalise failed to mention that the U.S. has admitted an
unprecedented 59 million immigrants since 1965, which has transformed the
nation demographically, socially and economically.
This influx was the
result of a Ted Kennedy-backed bill, which lifted Calvin Collidge’s
immigration caps and opened up American immigration visas to the entire world.
In the four decades following the enactment Coolidge’s immigration caps, there
was no immigration growth at all in the United States, indeed
U.S. foreign-born population underwent four decades of decline.
However, just three
days before Steve Scalise was born, the Kennedy-backed bill was signed into
law, resulting in an explosion of America’s foreign-born population from
9.6 million in 1965 to 42.4 million today. Census data shows that every three
years, as a result of Kennedy’s immigration rewrite, the U.S. adds another
immigrant population the size of Los Angeles.
When Scalise was born
fewer than 1 in 20, U.S. residents were foreign-born. Today, that figure
is rapidly nearing 1 in 7, and will rise to never before seen highs in coming
decades if a pause or reduction to visa issuances is not enacted. Yet
Scalise apparently believes that the unprecedented pace of foreign worker
arrivals is not high enough.
Perhaps the greatest
political irony surrounding the House’s passage of the Omnibus may be that
Paul Ryan was able to get away with what Rep. John Boehner
(R-OH) never could– namely, the decision of the House Freedom Caucus to
support Paul Ryan has enabled the donor class to lock in President Obama’s
immigration policies for his final year in office in a way that would otherwise
never have been possible.
As Talking Points Memo reports: The
rabble-rousing conservatives who were such a problem for former Speaker John
Boehner (R-OH) are giving new House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) the benefit of the
doubt on the year-end funding package…Some of the House’s most conservative
members credit Ryan’s honeymoon period or their desire to skip town for the
holidays for smoothing the path for them not to stand in the way of a deal…
Under Boehner, 11th hour budget negotiations all but guaranteed
intra-party fireworks in the GOP conference… But this time, members are
giving Ryan a break, at least in part in hopes of making a dash for the holiday
exit.
Talking Points notes that many
of the most vocal critics of John Boehner seemed eager to Ryan. For
instance, Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) told Talking Points that Ryan “passed the test in terms of
process and openness. He passed with flying colors.”
The nine founding members
of the House Freedom Caucus include Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep.
Scott Garrett (R-NJ), Rep. John Fleming (R-LA), Rep. Matt Salmon
(R-AZ), Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI),Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), Rep. Mick
Mulvaney (R-SC), Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), and Rep. Raul Labrador
(R-ID).
All nine of
them voted for Paul Ryan as House Speaker.
The House Freedom
Caucus is composed of 36 Republicans who scores range from A to D. The
legitimate conservative Tea Party caucus was disbanded by Boehner.
