Testimony to the US State Department from John
in Indiana, Posted by Ann Corcoran on May 29, 2016
Editor: Yes! I know there are
many more! I am still
sorting my e-mail in search of the testimony you sent to the US State
Department in response to the DOS request for public comment on the “size and
scope” of the UN/US Refugee Admissions Program for FY2017.
The day before
the deadline for submission of testimony I noticed (maybe you were all ahead of
me and noticed!) that the dates were wrong in the Federal Register. I
happened to see a comment sent by lawyers to the DOS asking that the comment
period be re-opened because citizens, who might like to have testified, didn’t
think the notice was for a comment period this year, but for last year. See
here.
From
John:
Ms. Anne Richard
Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees and Migration
US State Department

RE: FR 2016-09267
Dear Ms. Richard:
I have to believe that you do not realize the havoc you are creating
across our great nation, or certainly you would take steps to alleviate it.
Your actions are resulting in overcrowded schools with resources
stretched beyond the breaking point.
Your actions are causing communities to go nearly bankrupt because
their resources are not sufficient to manage the multiple problems and needs of
these new people.
Your actions are creating danger in the communities because these new
people cannot obtain substantial work and hence are resorting to criminal
activities.
Your actions are resulting in increases in unemployment among American
workers because these new people are forced by necessity to work for
substandard wages when they can find jobs.
Your actions are allowing the growing group of Islamic people to become
even larger with the possible potential for Shari’ah to be instituted in parts
of our country, a system of life that is totally at odds with our nation of
freedom.
I could go on and on but I am sure that you are receiving many comments
from other concerned citizens and are becoming aware of what we are worried
about. We are simply not able to absorb the masses of people you are trying to
bring into our communities. We have plenty of problems in our cities and towns
and our money and talents should be directed to them.
Let the other countries deal with their problems and
let us deal with ours. We are not, and should not be, the savior of all
nations. If America is to survive as a sovereign country this massive and
ill-advised immigration program must stop.
Yours with worry and concern,
This is the
eighteenth testimony in our series leading up to the deadline for comments to
the Dept. of State on May 19th. Go
here for where they
are archived to see what your fellow citizens have said.
I intend to
keep posting testimonies, a few a day, until I have exhausted my long list! I
had no idea so many of you would respond to my offer! But, thank you for
your hard work!
Testimony to US State Department from Adrienne
in California

Editor: Yes! I am still combing through my hundreds
of e-mails to find the testimony you sent to the US State Department in
response to the DOS request for public comment on the “size and scope” of the
UN/US Refugee Admissions Program for FY2017.
The day before
the deadline for submission of testimony I noticed (maybe you were all ahead of
me and noticed!) that the dates were wrong in the Federal Register. I
happened to see a comment sent by lawyers to the DOS asking that the comment
period be re-opened because citizens, who might like to have testified, didn’t
think the notice was for a comment period this year, but for last year. See
here. It
is not selfish to put America First!
To PRM from
Adrienne,
States should
have final control over resettlement activities within their state borders.
Until there is evaluation of and FULL DISCLOSURE of the costs and other impacts
associated with resettling the thousands of refugees, I am strongly opposed to
continuing the Refugee Admissions Program for 2017. The program should be
suspended or put on hold until the costs and impacts have been revealed to the
American public.
Schools are
overburdened, with some now having 75 different languages. The education of our
children will be impacted as teachers try to address the additional language,
learning and emotional difficulties inherent in refugee children.
There was a lot
of information that should have ben a red flag to those “vetting” the
San Bernardino killer.
In addition to
the burdens to the American people in more ways than just increased taxes,
fewer jobs, and less care for our Veterans and Seniors, there is a danger in
not properly vetting people from areas where there is a predominant ideology to
destroy those who do not believe as they do.
I live not far
from San Bernardino, where this ideology was espoused by terrorists who killed
people who had just given him and his wife a baby shower! Isn’t this much like
the good will extended to refugees as they settle in other towns? There was
evidence from the wife’s Facebook page that she had pledged allegiance to ISIS.
Certainly we
need to take the time to ensure that each individual refugee has a clean past. The vetting
process MUST NOT be shortened to anything less than the 18-24 month standard.
The responsibility to protect American citizens falls upon your department.
Please do not let us down.
It is not selfish to put America first,
because only when we are great can we lend a helping hand to those in need.
This is the
seventeenth testimony in our series leading up to the deadline for comments to
the Dept. of State on May 19th. Go
here for where they
are archived to see what your fellow citizens have said.
I intend to
keep posting testimonies, a few a day, until I have exhausted my long list! I
had no idea so many of you would respond to my offer! But, thank you for
your hard work!
P.S. I should
have mentioned it, but I have been adding photos and other images just to jazz
up the plain text, I hope you all don’t mind!
