Refugee contractors begin
political pressure to up refugee numbers for FY19; they want 75,000, by
Ann Corcoran 7/10/18.
Another target is the Senate Appropriations Committee, which Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran sits on and which oversees spending.
We
would sure like more in Kansas says refugee contractor—the International Rescue
Committee (headed by moneybags Miliband).
The IRC is headquartered in Manhattan
where Brit David Miliband is pulling down an annual salary of nearly $700,000
as he places third world refugees in the heartland.
Here
is the first news I’m seeing of the nine refugee contractors beginning their
push to pressure the President to increase the ceiling for refugee admissions
for Fiscal Year 2019 which begins on October 1, 2018.
Long
time readers know that the President sets a CEILING for admission sometime in
September and “consults” with Congress, but Congress, although it has the power
to dole out money, has in the past just let the President pretty much do what
he wants to do.
By
demanding a ceiling that they know is unrealistic for this President, they will
use the President’s ultimate number (likely low) to bludgeon him in the media
yet again.
This
revealing story is from KMUW in Wichita,
Kansas:
Kansas Resettlement Agency Working To Increase Next Year’s
Cap On Refugee Admissions.
Under
then-President George W. Bush, the highest ceiling on the number of refugees
admitted into the U.S. was 80,000. Under Barack Obama, it was 110,000.
President Donald Trump set this year’s cap at 45,000. [The Administration is not required by law to reach the cap/ceiling!—-ed]
Of
course they don’t tell you that GW Bush might have set the ceiling at 80,000,
but in some years barely reached 30,000! The media here just wants to
make Trump look especially evil. They also don’t tell you that the
contractors wanted Obama to set a ceiling of over 200,000 in his last year and
he didn’t oblige them. But, you didn’t hear boo! about evil Obama!
They
get paid by the head, so numbers matter!
WMUW continues….“And based on the numbers so
far, we’re looking at less than half that many that we were told would be
allowed into the country,” says Harold Schlechtweg, the advocacy coordinator
with the International Rescue Committee in Kansas.

In
just a few months, Trump will set next year’s cap on refugee admissions into
the U.S. And Schlechtweg is working to influence what that cap is.
He’s
been meeting with community groups and members of the Legislature and Congress
to build support for refugees in the state. He says the IRC, along with eight other
resettlement agencies across the U.S., want to see the cap raised to 75,000 — the
same number they recommended last year.
“Kansas can absorb its share of that 75,000,” Schlechtweg says. “We can
absorb [them] in Kansas certainly and we think the country can absorb them.
We’re a country of 300 million people. We can clearly get 75,000.”
Under
then-Gov. Sam Brownback, Kansas withdrew from the federal refugee resettlement
program in 2016, citing security concerns. A separate agency, the Kansas State
Office of Refugees, was established to work with the U.S. State Department to
help settle refugees in the state via several resettlement organizations,
including the IRC. [Readers, it does no good to
‘withdraw’ from the program because the feds simply turn over resettlement to
one (or several) of these fake non-profit groups].
We think that he will listen if people at the grassroots level begin to
express support for refugees,” Schlechtweg says, “so that’s our strategy right
now is to build that kind of support very patiently.” The money matters!!!
“They
actually don’t make that decision, but they can provide some influence,”
Schlechtweg says. “We feel that we have to go out there and we have to make
that argument and then we feel the more people who are working with us to make
that argument then the more chances of success we will have.” More here.
Looking for something to do? Contact the White House and tell
the Prez what you think. WH contact is in upper right hand column here at RRW.
Here
(below) are the big nine ‘non-profit’ organizations that monopolize all refugee
resettlement in the US. I post these as often as I can because new readers need
to know that these quasi-government groups (funded with taxpayer dollars) are
also politically pushing for more immigration of all sorts in Washington—they
are not simply refugee advocates. The number in parenthesis is the percentage
of their income paid by you (the taxpayer) to place the
refugees 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%)
