International Rescue Committee says US businesses
need more low wage workers, by Ann Corcoran 6/24/18.
Why must US taxpayers subsidize big business?
Employers in industries like hospitality, manufacturing and meatpacking are facing labor shortages without new arrivals eager for work experience that doesn’t require English-language fluency, the IRC report says.
I’ve
never thought this was a good argument to be pushed by the supposed
‘humanitarians’ receiving millions from the US taxpayer to place refugees in
hundreds of US towns and cities, but they are doing it in the age of Trump.
Report was released on World Refugee
Propaganda Day. https://www.rescue.org/report/unwelcome-state-refugee-resettlement-america
Hurting
most from the slowdown in the arrival of fresh grunt laborers (aka refugees),
according to a new report from the International Rescue Committee headed by
former British Labor Party official, David Miliband, are employers in key U.S.
industries—including
manufacturing, hospitality and meatpacking!
If
those industries can’t fill their labor needs, maybe they need to raise wages! And,
besides why is it the taxpayers’ duty to subsidize globalists like the BIG MEAT
giants by supplying them with third world laborers while paying fake
humanitarian groups, like the IRC, gobs of money to sign them up for welfare to
supplement those meager wages before moving on to the next fresh batch of
paying clients.
Here is
one of several news stories the IRC Report has generated. It is from
the San Diego Union-Tribune, but
rerun in my local newspaper (the paper whose lack of interest in the refugee issue in 2007 caused me to begin writing this
blog).
SAN DIEGO — With the flow of refugees into the U.S. at a trickle, many
who work with new arrivals worry that the low numbers will have a lasting impact
on economies, schools and families in places like San Diego, where many used to
resettle.
The
International Rescue Committee, a resettlement agency with offices in the San
Diego area, released a report this week detailing what it has seen around San Diego
Country since arrivals fell to the lowest numbers the program has seen since it
began in 1980.
Since
President Donald Trump initiated the first travel ban, refugee arrivals
plummeted across the country. So far in fiscal 2018, the U.S. has resettled 14,331
refugees, less than a third of the 45,000 ceiling set by Trump.
Donna Duvin, executive director for the IRC in San Diego, said her
office gets calls at least weekly from area employers asking if there are new
arrivals looking for work.
“In
the past, we would call them and ask for placements,” Duvin said. “Now
employers are calling us seeking potential employees.”
Duvin
noted that many San Diego jobs are also tied to assisting refugees and worried
that organizations would shrink if arrivals don’t increase soon. [She may be worried for her job, but are the fat cats at the top of the
IRC worried too?—ed]
He
said he’s constantly hearing from fellow restaurant owners about the trouble
they’re having finding line cooks or dishwashers. “There’s a lot of competition
for labor, and it’s hard to find good help,” Knab said.
“The
refugee community has been a place where we have found good employees who are
committed and contribute in a positive way.” [And, are desperate and willing to work for cheap wages!—ed] More here.
And,
this (below) is news I don’t mind repeating until I am blue in the face! For
new readers see my David Miliband file here, and go here for
dozens of stories about meatpackers changing the heartland.

cat salaries at the International Rescue Committee, from a recent IRS Form 990:
See chart on original article. It lists a dozen six figure salaries of IRC
“executives” from $141,593 to $671,749. Doing
well by doing good (for the globalists)!

It is clear that the
US welfare system subsidizes minimum wagers. Removing welfare eligibility from
non-citizens would clean up this mess and save $384 billion a year. Welfare
immigrants would move back to their home countries and we would have an extra
$384 billion to build a wall to keep out the drug gangs. Meat Packers would
have to use some of their corporate tax cuts to raise wages.
