Afghan special immigrant visa (SIV) holders and
families enter US in high numbers, by Ann Corcoran 6/12/18.
The total number of Afghans admitted to the US, 60,623, above is from FY07 to the present. Less than 10,000 were determined to be refugees.
Share this: Maryland
and Virginia are in the top five welcoming states…I’ve
been told that the flow of these ‘special’ immigrants are helping to keep
federal money flowing to the resettlement contractors as they are treated as
refugees (but not counted as part of the 45,000 ceiling set by the President
last September) and as such, the contractors are paid by the head for their
work in resettling them.
Just
now I checked Wrapsnet to see what those numbers looked like. I’ve written
other posts on the topic before, here,
so this is an update.
Prior
to FY14 we admitted small numbers of the people that supposedly helped us in
some capacity in Afghanistan, but the number began to skyrocket in FY14.
The
top year so far, 16,866 Afghan SIV arrivals, was in President Trump’s first
year in office. Top states for
Afghan resettlement (regular refugees and SIVs) from FY07 to the present were
California (20,171), Texas (8,229), Virginia (7763), Washington (2,898) and
Maryland (2,745).
Here
are the nine federal refugee contractors. They have been complaining as their
regular paying client numbers (refugees) have declined, but it seems they have
some taxpayer supplied funds coming in with this huge push to bring in Afghan
‘interpreters’ and their families.
The
original Refugee Act of 1980, that
set up this monstrosity, envisioned a public-private partnership that over the
years has almost completely morphed in to a federal program.
The
number in parenthesis is the percentage of their income paid by you (the taxpayer) to place the refugees (SIVs
too) and get them signed up for their services (aka
welfare)! From most recent accounting, here.
· Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC) (secular)(93%)
· International Rescue Committee (IRC) (secular) (66.5%)
· US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) (secular) (98%)
