We are
still taking ‘refugees’ from safe countries, by Ann Corcoran, 10/13/18.
Every so often I check out
the Processing Country data at
the Refugee Processing Center (Wrapsnet) maintained by the US State Department.
More frequently I report to
you about the nationalities entering the US, but processing country data is
very different.
From processing country
data, we learn in which countries supposed ‘refugees’ are processed in to the
US, but we don’t learn where they came from before they arrived in that
country.
I first became aware of this
about ten years ago when I noticed that illegal aliens, who arrived by boat at
the tiny island nation of Malta in the Mediterranean, were being sent to the US
as refugees. (See my explanation of refugees vs. asylum here yesterday.)
What!!! Malta
is a safe country in the EU, anyone arriving there claiming to be a refugee by
seeking asylum must apply there, not be packed off to the US.
I have a huge file on Malta where this legally questionable movement
of mostly Africans to your towns was put in place during the administration of
George W. Bush and continues through today.
We are doing the same with
Israel and South Africa where migrants get in to those countries from elsewhere
(seeking asylum) and we help those governments out by taking some of their
excess off their hands.
Heck, we have our own problem
on our southern border where illegal aliens cross by the tens of thousands and
then ask for asylum.
Are we going to ask Malta,
South Africa and Israel to take a few of our excess asylum seekers?
(Don’t laugh!)
Here (below) is the end of
the fiscal year data table for Processing Country. I’m posting this now
because it will disappear by the beginning of November.
Again, just so you know we are
not taking Maltese people, South Africans or Israelis to America, the numbers
represented here are people
from elsewhere who got in to those three countries and are
unwanted by those three countries.
Notice the numbers for
Papua New Guinea and Nauru.
Those are the Australian rejected asylum seekers we are taking off Australia’s
hands in the same possibly illegal manner.
There are probably other
questionable processing countries above, but the three I have highlighted are
countries which I have followed closely over the years.
The Trump
Administration could stop this possibly illegal use of the refugee admissions
process in a heartbeat if they wanted to! Congress would not have to be
involved!
If you haven’t noticed, I
have a link in the right hand corner of RRW for the White House contact
information. Please take time to express your opinion to the President.
