As we move Africa to America, where are all the
refugees from the DR Congo being placed? by Ann Corcoran on 10/7/16
Since I was just telling you that we (the Department of State) jumps
when the UN says ‘jump!’ I thought it might be a good time to show you
the numbers of refugees we are now taking from the DR Congo after Asst.
Secretary of State for Population, Refugees and Migration, Anne Richard
(formerly a VP at federal resettlement contractor International Rescue Committee)
agreed
here in 2013 to take 50,000
refugees from the DR Congo off the UN’s hands.
Civil wars in Africa
produce refugees that the UN determines must be moved to the West—especially to
the US. Once we get the 50,000 Congolese placed in your towns, watch for the
big lobbying push for large numbers from South Sudan.
By the way, the
Republicans did this too when the UN wanted to clean out its Bhutanese camps on
the border of Nepal and then Bush Administration Asst. Secretary Ellen
Sauerbrey agreed to invite 60,000 Bhutanese to the US over a five year
period—they are still coming!
Here
in 2014 we learned the
Bhutanese numbers to the US were up to 80,000. But, surprise! Some of them want
to go home.
Since fiscal year 2012, we have placed 33,212
from the DR Congo in all but five states (see map below).
The vast
majority are Christians of some sort, but there are 1,240 Muslims in the
bunch. In FY2012 we resettled 1,863, but by FY2016 we took 16,370 in one
year. Expect 2017 to be even higher as the drive is on to get as many refugees
in to the US as possible
before Obama leaves office.
Our interest in
reporting the Congolese numbers was stimulated by the mysterious
death this week of an 8-year-old Congolese boy at
O’Hare Airport. His family was bound for Texas.
These are very
poor people, mostly with limited educations, who will need a couple of generations
of care by the US taxpayer before they can return anything to the US economy. Early
reports are that the
women are especially traumatized and will need costly mental health treatment.
Here is where
the Congolese (DR Congo) refugees have been placed between FY2012 and FY2016
(inclusive). Map from the Refugee
Processing Center. Hawaii got zero (didn’t fit on the map), but it rarely gets any anyway.

I suspect that
these Africans are surplus and their government has fomented a war to move
these herds to American grasslands.
I’m sure that many
herds were moved at the request of global industries who paid the dictator to
clear the land for their mining, drilling, forestry, agriculture, hunting and
other operations.
I suspect that
African governments long ago got kickbacks from pirates who were harvesting
slaves from anti-government agitator groups as far back as 1600.
