Refugee Industry lobbyists want to talk to Trump
transition team, by Ann Corcoran 12/4/16
As we have reported on several
occasions already, they are worried of course about the implications for their
futures with Trump in the White House.
The UN/US Refugee Admissions Program is built on massive amounts of
federal dollars going to nine major refugee contractors (to
be precise they have grants and contracts with the US State Department and the Office of Refugee
Resettlement in HHS) to place refugees in hundreds and hundreds of American
towns and cities.
Naomi Steinberg, RCUSA Director:
Closing refugee resettlement would “feed into narratives spread by ISIS that
the U.S. is anti-Muslim.” So, we are trying to make ISIS happy with us?
When I read articles like this from
Lansing, Michigan about how every one in the resettlement industry is worried
that the US will be diminished in the eyes of the world, that ISIS will have a
recruiting tool (ISIS would be angry because we are not letting in Muslims!),
or that many refugees will not be able to bring their extended families to
America, I
look for any reference made to the issue of their funding.
Usually there isn’t any—no mention of the
fact that Catholic Charities or whichever agency it is, would have to close
offices and eliminate staff if their per head payment for refugees, and their
grants from ORR stopped coming.
It would be hard for me to list all
the reasons I continue writing and educating about the Refugee Admissions
Program, but near the top of the list is the fact that there are
millions of your tax dollars going to supposed ‘religious’ charities and they
never mention it. They pretend, when speaking to reporters who don’t know better, that
their work is completely charitable and driven purely by humanitarian
zeal. It is a big lie!
‘Humanitarianism’ is a fabulous cover for
all sorts of other goals like bringing in cheap immigrant labor for BIG MEAT,
etc., or bringing in reliable Democrat voters, or stirring tension in
communities by shoving diversity down the throats of Americans who don’t want
it. Or, in some sort of sick leftist assuaging of guilt, showing Muslims how
loving and open-minded we are by bringing them to your towns by the thousands
and putting them on welfare!
Stacie Blake, right, fielding
questions from angry citizens in Rutland, VT in June where her agency, USCRI,
had been quietly working with the mayor to bring 100 Syrians to the small
city.
Sorry, I’m getting off track, but
remember all those things as I tell you that the resettlement industry has a
lobbying consortium in Washington, DC—Refugee Council USA—and they want to meet with the Trump team. They have
a transition document they would like to present to Trump. By the way, in
August we reported that
RCUSA, never satisfied with the number we admit, wanted 200,000 refugees admitted
in FY17.
Near the end of the Lansing State Journal story
we learn this: “Yes, we look forward to speaking to the Trump transition
team. … We don’t know exactly what the president-elect is planning on doing,”
said Naomi
Steinberg, director of Refugee Council USA, a coalition of refugee
resettlement groups that has reached out to people close to Trump.
She said that while much of the Trump campaign’s rhetoric was “deeply
troubling and deeply inaccurate,” the community still wants to work with him
and explain the broader value of welcoming refugees. [If there is inaccuracy
about the program the fault lies with the feds and the contractors because of
the incredible secrecy that has surrounded the program for decades, and
continues today!—ed]
Closing off the U.S. from refugee resettlements, she and others said,
would break humanitarian commitments made by the West, feed into
narratives spread by ISIS that the U.S. is anti-Muslim and poison
relationships with key military allies. [Military allies like Turkey? So we have to take in
tens of thousands of Middle Eastern Muslim refugees to please Turkey?—ed]
“The idea that America would no
longer lead on this issue is unfathomable,” said Stacie Blake, a spokeswoman with the
U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, an advocacy and resettlement
organization in northern Virginia. “We’ve been fielding calls already from
individuals very worried about whether their adult child, their sibling,
(their) mother will be able to join them as planned.”

federal resettlement contractors that like to call themselves VOLAGs (that is
short for Voluntary Agencies, which they definitely are not!):
