Refugee placement in the US continues to be a
clandestine operation with no local voter control, despite the fact that these
refugees ruin these communities.
Judicial Watch sues Department of State for failure to respond to FOIA request on Obama secret selection of new resettlement sites, by Ann Corcoran 6/20/18.
Long
time readers will remember that for a couple of years we were on a hunt to
reveal the forty plus new resettlement sites the US State Department was
quietly targeting for placement of the huge flow of refugees they expected in
the waning years of the Obama Administration (and planning ahead for the
Hillary years to come!).
Obama State Department’s guide for
community organizers to teach them how to set up new resettlement sites in
their unsuspecting communities. I only discovered it by chance.
We
were able to identify some sites in various stages of planning just because
local newspapers reported that their town was being chosen (or might be
chosen), but there
was never any official release of information from the DOS.
Thus, Judicial Watch went to
work to try to uncover the list and the criteria being used to select new
sites.
In December 2016 this is a list I
had put together from various news reports: Below are new
sites we have identified so far of the supposed 47 the Obama Administration is
(or has been) trying to get established.
One of the first things the Trump Administration must do is to make all
of this information public information. Here are some of the sites we have
identified so far by just keeping an eye on local news reports in 2015 and
2016:

2016!)

Judicial Watch wants
to know more! Why
is that important? Besides keeping the State Department accountable, you know
and I know that when Trump is no longer President, the deep staters and the
refugee contractors will go right back to their previous ways (including
identifying prospective new resettlement sites) UNLESS Trump makes permanent
changes through legislation to the US
Refugee Admissions Program.
One
place to start will be to make it the law that local citizens will no longer be
kept in the dark in the development and planning process for these sites.
Press
release from Judicial
Watch on June 18, 2018:
(Washington, DC) — Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit in the United States District Court
for the District of Columbia for records on sites that were considered for the
resettlement of refugees in the United States during the last two years of the
Obama administration. (Judicial
Watch vs. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:18-cv-01244)).
Judicial
Watch filed the lawsuit after the State Department failed to respond to a
February 23, 2017, FOIA request seeking:
~All records reflecting the
locations within the United States that were considered as possible sites for
refugee resettlement under the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) in 2015
and 2016.
~All records reflecting the
criteria used to determine suitability of locations as refugee resettlement
sites in 2015 and 2016.
~All records reflecting the names
of local organizations promoting any of the locations identified above for
consideration as refugee resettlement sites.
In
October 2016, Judicial Watch made public 128 pages of documents it obtained
from the mayor of Rutland, Vermont, showing a concerted effort by the mayor and
a number of private organizations to conceal from the public their plans to
resettle 100 Syrian refugees into the small southern Vermont town. The mayor
and resettlement organizations shrouded the plan in such secrecy that not even
the town’s aldermen were informed of what was taking place behind closed doors.
The aldermen eventually wrote to the U.S. Department of State protesting the
plan and opened an investigation into the mayor’s actions.
The
State Department says it currently works with nine nonprofit organizations to
resettle refugees. Those nonprofits have about 315 affiliates in 180
communities throughout the U.S. Go

more and to follow JW links.
We
know the Obama Administration didn’t believe in transparency, but we expect
more of Trump’s State Department, so we assume the information will be
forthcoming!
Here
(below) are the big nine ‘non-profit’ organizations that monopolize all refugee
resettlement in the US. The six ‘religious’ contractors are part of the
politically active Religious Left. They worked with local Inter-faith
groups to secretly set up new resettlement sites in the heyday of the Obama
Administration.
Truthfully
readers, there will be no lasting reform of the refugee program in the US until
this contracting system is abolished. The President can reduce numbers
for a while, but these nine (and their hundreds of subcontractors) receiving
the majority of their funding from taxpayers and then acting as Leftwing
community organizers (holding rallies, ginning up bad publicity against the
President) must go and that will require Congress to rewrite refugee law.
