A quick review of some critical
refugee numbers for this fiscal year, it isn’t just Syrians that should
concern you, Posted by Ann Corcoran on June 17, 2016
As you know the
Obama Administration is aiming to bring in 85,000 refugees from around the world (many
religions and nationalities) this fiscal year (FY 2016 ends on September 30th).
So what do we
know about thousands of Rohingya Muslims we are now picking up throughout this
region of the world? No data bases there either! No criminal records to search.

And, yes,
refugee resettlement supplies a small portion of the million or so ‘immigrants’
of all stripes we admit every year.
Our focus here
at RRW is primarily (obviously) on the refugee portion or as the feds like to
refer to them—humanitarian
arrivals, which along with the refugees include a number of
different categories of legal and
illegal migrants (see a description
here) that the
federal Office of Refugee Resettlement takes responsibility for.
There has been so much news about the Syrian,
mostly Muslim, refugees entering the US this fiscal year and I wanted to see
how those numbers compared with some other Muslim-sending countries (again this
is for refugees!), and so I
checked the State
Department data base for this fiscal year (which began on Oct. 1, 2015) and
up to June 15, 2016.
This is what I
found (I did not check every country) and I want to emphasize that we really
can’t properly vet any of these people especially the devout Rohingya Muslims
coming from Burma that have been scattered throughout South East Asia.
Afghanistan (1,455) virtually all Muslims
Burma (8,693) with 2,102
of those being Muslims (this is very new, we only in the last year or so
admitted large numbers of Rohingya Muslims)
Iraq (5,781), 4,722 of those are Muslims (mostly Sunni but a
large number of Shiites as well).
Somalia (5,956) all Muslim and we pick them up around the world!
Syria (4,328) virtually all Muslims
There are also
many Muslims from other Middle Eastern and African countries coming, I just
checked the major ethnic groups.
Again! Security
screening any of these refugees is almost impossible and certainly won’t stop
the 2nd
generation jihadi killers.
So, as you
freak out over Syrians, consider that they aren’t the only Muslim ‘refugees’
being spread out through America this year.
P.S. One day the Rohingya will be on the
national news, so anyone
interested in learning more about them can visit our Rohingya Reports category, here. It goes back to 2008 and has
188 posts in it!
