(Full Title: Review of Obama’s Refugee Resettlement Program: Magnet for Middle East Refugees, Lucrative for U.S. Agencies)

Look what Obama did. He actively worked to destroy this country. Actively.

The last points in the list are very revealing of how American taxpayers are being abused.

–The program is rife with fraud and corruption at all levels. UN personnel often sell access to the program and once here refugees make false claims of family relationship in order to facilitate wider immigration. Government grant fraud is common among local refugee service providers.

–The refugee program has a significant impact on U.S. foreign policy. It also affects internal and foreign policies of other nations by allowing them to rid themselves of unwanted minorities or close their borders to asylum seekers in the knowledge that the U.S. will take them in.

Review = Refugee Resettlement Report: A Magnet for Middle East Refugees & Lucrative Business for U.S. Agencies

(excerpts from lengthy 2013 report)

The program has gradually shifted towards the resettlement of refugees from Muslim countries. Some individuals from Muslim countries are Christians or other minorities, but most are Muslims. In the early 90’s the percentage of Muslim refugees was near 0; by 2000 the program was 44% Muslim. The Muslim component decreased after 911, but today is back up to about 40% and is set to rise from here.

Membership in a U.S.-registered Islamic terrorist group is not a bar to entry on the program as long as the refugee was not a “direct participant” in “terrorist” activity

16. Refugees, successful asylum seekers, trafficking victim visa holders, “Cuban-Haitian Entrants” (which are mostly Cuban), S.I.V’s (for Iraqis and Afghanis) and other smaller humanitarian admission groups are eligible for ALL federal, state and local welfare programs 30 days after arrival.

Refugee access to welfare on the same basis as a U.S. citizen has made the program a global magnet.

The federal programs available to them include:

∙ Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) formerly known as AFDC ∙ Medicaid ∙ Food Stamps ∙ Public Housing ∙ Supplemental Security Income (SSI) ∙ Social Security Disability Insurance ∙ Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD) (direct services only) ∙ Child Care and Development Fund ∙ Independent Living Program ∙ Job Opportunities for Low Income Individuals (JOLI) ∙ Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) ∙ Postsecondary Education Loans and Grants ∙ Refugee Assistance Programs ∙ Title IV Foster Care and Adoption Assistance Payments (if parents are ⌠qualified immigrants – refugees, asylees, etc) ∙ Title XX Social Services Block Grant Funds

Welfare use is staggering among refugees. Welfare usage is never counted by officials as part of the cost of the program. Yet, when it is included, the total cost of the refugee program soars to at least 10-20 billion a year.

As some Americans are pushed off of time-limited welfare programs many refugees are going on to life-time cash assistance programs

Refugee resettlement is profitable to the organizations involved in it. They receive money from the federal government for each refugee they bring over. They have almost no real responsibilities for these refugees. After 4 months the “sponsoring” organization is not even required to know where the refugee lives.

There are 9 main major refugee resettlement organizations (Volags from “Voluntary Agency”) with approximately 450 affiliated organizations throughout the country; many are run by former refugees. Below are the 9 Volags that operate today:

– US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), – Lutheran Immigrant Aid Society (LIRS), – International Rescue Committee (IRC), – World Relief Corporation, – Immigrant and Refugee Services of America (IRSA), – Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), – Church World Service (CWS), – Domestic and Foreign Missionary Service of the Episcopal Church of the USA, – Ethiopian Community Development Center (ECDC),

Below are some of the sources of income for Volags:

$1,850 per refugee (including children) from the State Department. Up to $2,200 for each refugee by participating in a U.S. DHHS program known as Matching Grant. To get the $2,200, the Volag need only show it spent $200 and gave away $800 worth of donated clothes, furniture or cars. The Volag pockets 25% of every transportation loan it collects from refugees it “sponsors”. All Volag expenses and overhead in the Washington, DC HQ are paid by the U.S. government. For their refugee programs, Volags collect money from all federal grant programs – “Marriage Initiative”, “Faith-based”, “Ownership Society”, etc., as well as from various state and local grants.

The program is so lucrative that in some towns the Catholic Church has lessened support for traditional charity works to put more effort into resettlement. It uses collection offerings to promote the refugee resettlement program.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Precisely why the founders said he couldn’t be President.

Natural born citizen only.

Good Reasons.

Obama was brought into USA (and put into office) for the express purpose of weakening and undermining USA, our morals and values, our economy and jobs, and of course our defenses both overseas and inside our own communities

there is no surprise, it was obvious for all to see from the very start

(including Obama’s importation, at American taxpayer expense, of hundreds of thousands of IslamoNazi terroristas...into our very neighborhoods)

He got the support of a lot of liberal churches for this. I remember a few years ago, there were articles on FR when the feds were advertising for groups to take in refugees. They were getting paid a lot of money and they were relocating them to nice, crime free areas where they could do the most damage. We knew it was coming but were powerless to stop it, and it never got any press. At least it’s over for now. All of us should do what we can to send these refugees back home. We can set them up with nice, safe areas in their own countries.

Obama's views on immigration are less original than a planned extension of the deliberate effort to change America, clearly implicit in the Immigration law enacted by the Left in 1965. Opposition has been intimidated by the :politically correct" name calling bullies, whose domination of the discussion has been challenged by President Trump.

This is our chance to fight back. If we want to preserve any semblance of the America we have had, its heritage & Blessings, now is certainly the time to stand up.

Tactics For Victory.
