Syracuse, NY letter to editor: help me with
Catholic Charities fuzzy math, by Ann Corcoran, 8/15/18.
I’m happy to report on a
letter-to-the-editor at Syracuse.com because
I had meant to post on the original article that generated this reader’s letter
and never got around to it.
Letter-writer George Checksfield is referring to an article, here, in
which we learn that the State of New York is plugging the “hole” created by
lost federal revenue for Catholic Charities (from you really,
the taxpayer).
He
wants to know why does a private group like this need taxpayer dollars to hold
on to employees they don’t need.
In 2014, Syracuse’s Holy Trinity
Catholic Church became a mosque and these Catholic Charities refugee pushers
don’t even get what is happening to them.
The
mainstream media rarely makes the connection clear to the average taxpaying
citizen reading a story like this that there is a direct relationship between
the number of refugees being brought in and Catholic Charities of Onondaga
County (this one and many others throughout the US) budget.
Their payments from the feds are based on how many refugees the agency
places. It is a per refugee head basis and so big families
bring in bigger bucks to CC (sorry for the zillionith time I’ve repeated
that!).
When
the President reduced the number of refugees being admitted to the US, it
caused all these federal contractors to see their budgets shrink.
Below
is a screenshot of Mr. Checksfield’s letter.
But,
do not miss the nearly 30 comments, virtually all negative toward Catholic
Charities that have been sent in to Syracuse.com.
They want to be ready to go when Trump is gone!
That is why you must push the Trump Administration to reform the law before 2020—so that the refugee industry can’t go back to the same old flawed model!

I took notice in the original article that
the primary reason the State of NY was sending money to keep the resettlement
agencies afloat is that they all expect the Trump reductions in number to end
and they want to go right back (as quickly as possible!) to doing what they did
for the 35 years before Trump came along!
Good
for Mr. Checksfield for asking this question and good for Syracuse.com for publishing it! (And the
comments, here).
More
of you should do this—-write letters to the editor when you see a warm and
fuzzy refugee story that bashes the President! Educate your fellow
citizens!
