Refugee resettlement becomes major issue in
Election 2016; death blow to Hillary? Ann Corcoran on August 20, 2016
Putting a proposal for the resettlement of
hundreds of thousands of third-worlders, including large numbers who come from
countries that hate us, squarely in front of the voters in the weeks before the
November election could make or break a 2016 presidential candidate.
Obama’s
September UN gambit comes as a huge political risk for the Hillary camp and her
friends at the Refugee
Council USA *** because by placing the hot topic so
clearly before the public it could be like waving a red cape before a
bull. Hillary has already said she
wants 65,000 Syrians admitted
in one year and
the public is overwhelmingly against ‘welcoming’ any more!
Early
polling already indicates that the vast
majority of Americans do not want more Syrian refugees brought to their towns.
Will the Obama UN propaganda stunt serve to wake up even more Americans to the
nature of this program? We think so.

CouncilUSA which is a consortium of open border groups including the nine major
federal resettlement contractors. RCUSA lobbies Congress and the Administration
for more money for their goal of changing America by changing the people. RCUSA
will be busy on the Hill reaching out to Republicans who hold the purse strings.
Politico (a progressive leaning news outlet
aimed at putting news in Congressional office waiting rooms) has published a
story that is worth mentioning here, not so much for what it says, but for what
it implies.
Reporter Nahal
Toosi tells us much we already know, but what interested me most is the mention
(a hint really) of the fact that by pushing for more than a doubling of
refugees to be admitted to the US in 2017, the resettlement industry will be
front and center in Election 2016.
By advocating
so strongly with a
rally next weekend and then the Obama
UN shindig in September,
will the industry become fully exposed to an attack from Trump as Americans
increasingly begin to understand how secretive this program has been and how
much they are shelling out to bring poverty and possible insecurity to their
hometowns, not to mention the maddening fact that most refugees immediately
receive all welfare available to Americans including SSI for the elderly and
disabled?
It is remarkable to me
that the more than 3-decades-old refugee program could make or break an
American presidential candidate—and it could if Trump makes the most of
Obama’s UN stunt and Hillary’s on-the-record support for 65,000 Syrians to be
admitted to the US in one year!
Here
(below) are some snips from Politico that interested me. The refugee industry wants to
nearly triple the number of refugees admitted to the US to 200,000. They are
urging Obama to make that determination in September, the month when presidents
by law send their refugee wish list to Congress.
The average
number of refugees admitted throughout most of Obama’s presidency has been
70,000 per year. [Editor note: there is a lot of confusion
about numbers. We are discussing only those refugees admitted through
this one program and not considering the tens of thousands of successful asylum
seekers and another 100,000 or so unaccompanied alien children the
administration refers to as “humanitarian
arrivals.” This 200,000 also does not include the hundreds of thousands
entering through myriad visa programs.]
Politico (emphasis is mine): Some are calling on Obama to admit at least 200,000 refugees from
around the world, including tens of thousands of Syrians, through the U.S.
refugee resettlement program and other routes. That’s effectively twice as many
total refugees as the Obama administration has planned to accept in the fiscal
year that starts Oct. 1.
Obama also is
preparing to host a Sept. 20 international summit on the world’s migration
crisis, a meeting in which he is expected to urge other countries to double
their intake of refugees. The gathering will be held on the sidelines of the U.N. General
Assembly in New York City, just weeks before the end of a U.S. presidential
campaign in which Republican nominee Donald Trump has made refugees an
incendiary topic.
Shannon
Scribner, a top official with Oxfam America, said her sense is that, despite
pressure from activists, Obama is unlikely to go beyond 100,000 total refugees.
One reason is that Congress controls the funding for the refugee resettlement program, and
Republicans could kill any request for more money, she noted.
Trump has
embraced the backlash against refugees in Europe, too — openly rooting for the
British exit from the EU and comparing Clinton to Angela Merkel, the German
chancellor who has emerged as the symbol of the continent’s initially welcoming
stance toward the Syrian influx.
Obama likely
will use the daylong summit in September, which will come on the heels of a
similar U.N. summit, to push for more out-of-the-box efforts to help the
world’s refugees.
“This could be one of the great Trojan
horses,” Trump said of the refugee program. He has also accused Clinton of
wanting to spend “hundreds of billions of dollars to settle Middle Eastern
refugees in the United States” — a claim that independent fact checkers have
debunked — and dinged her repeatedly for calling last September for the U.S. to
admit 65,000 properly screened Syrian refugees, a 550 percent increase over
Obama’s figure. [The only error in
Trump’s comment is the word ‘hundreds,’ leave that out and Trump is correct—this
will cost US taxpayer BILLIONS!—ed]
The September
summit gives refugee advocates another chance to boost momentum for their
cause. Some
groups are hoping in particular to rebuild trust in the refugee program among
Republicans, with outreach efforts on Capitol Hill.
At the same time, the
summit could re-ignite the partisan debate, especially on the presidential
campaign trail. Help re-ignite the
partisan debate! Here is what you need to
remember: in the next 10 weeks, you have to make as much political noise
as you can about the UN/US State Department Refugee Admissions Program where
you live!
You must work
hard to get your concerns and the controversy out to the media in whatever way
you can! That means all media! If you can’t get to your local
Leftwing controlled newspaper, find other avenues to reach your fellow citizens
even if you have to hand out fliers at the county fair!
And, then this is key! Get your ‘noise’ to
your Senators and Members of Congress. Your House members are all up for
election and THEY CONTROL THE PURSE STRINGS. I know you are saying to me
that your Member is a chicken or worse. That doesn’t matter, make their
lives miserable! They are home now until right after Labor Day.
Find them! Go to their offices, picket the office if necessary, meet them at
the local county fair, attend any townhall they hold and hammer them on this
one issue!
Afterall, Politico is
telling us that the Open Borders Refugee Industry is going to be hitting
Republican offices on Capitol Hill because they know that the only way they can
win is to get Congress (Speaker Paul Ryan!) to fund 200,000 or more refugee
arrivals! You must out
maneuver them! Remember: They need your money to change America!
Here are the
members of the Refugee
Council USA (federal resettlement contractors being paid by the head to
place refugees in your towns are in red, they have a vested financial interest
in bringing in ever larger numbers of refugees):
