Amarillo balks at more Mideast refugees

As Texas officials spar with Obama administration lawyers over refugee resettlement, Amarillo is building Muslim “ghettos.”

Under federal refugee programs, the North Texas town has become home to more than 1,000 Mideast migrants – giving Amarillo the highest refugee ratio in the country.

“Our education system is overloaded with kids who can’t speak English. We have something like 22 languages spoken in our schools,” said William Sumerford, a local taxpayer activist.

City Commissioner Randy Burkett is considering a plan to halt further refugee settlements. Burkett could not be reached, but Mayor Paul Harpole isn’t optimistic about the city’s authority to push back.

“We’ve been a giving community, and it’s a huge disservice to bring in refugees in numbers that we’re not able to handle. We create small ghettos,” Harpole told Watchdog.org.

“A group of Somalis came in to say they had elected a mayor of their community,” Harpole related. “Then another faction claimed they had their own leader. We come to find out that rival tribes — slaves and masters — were being settled together.”

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission last month sued the federal government and the nonprofit International Rescue Committee, asserting the Refugee Act of 1980 requires Washington to “consult regularly” with state and local officials before resettling refugees.

The Justice Department responded that Texas was trying to exert veto power “over individual federal refugee resettlement decisions” by banning Syrian refugees.

“Federal law requires the Obama administration to work with Texas in the refugee resettling process,” Katherine Wise, spokeswoman for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, told Watchdog.org. “The response by the Obama administration makes it clear that it has no intention of cooperating with us.”

The situation heated up last week when two Iraqi refugees were arrested in Houston and Sacramento during an ISIS terrorism investigation.

U.S. House of Representatives photo U.S. House of Representatives photo SECURITY CHECK: Rep. Brian Babin’s bill to halt President Obama’s refugee program was buried in Congress. “This serves as yet another wake-up call to anyone who has doubts about the real and imminent threat we face from Obama’s dangerous and reckless refugee policies,” said U.S. Rep. Brian Babin, R-Baytown.

Babin in July introduced HR 3314 to suspend the refugee resettlement program pending a cost analysis by the Government Accountability Office and a national security risk assessment.

The FBI, the director of National Intelligence and the department of Homeland Security testified that they cannot fully screen the administration’s initial allotment of 10,000 refugees from Syria, Somalia, Iraq and other regions with high rates of terrorism.

The Republican-controlled Congress ignored Babin’s bill and approved a $100 million increase for refugee resettlement.

Detailed information about refugees is difficult, if not impossible, to obtain because the federal government runs its refugee program through faith-based contractors exempt from Freedom of Information Act provisions.

In Amarillo, Sumerford said local services are being stretched by refugees. Police say crime is a chronic problem in the resettlement enclaves. The city currently fields 911 calls in 42 different languages.

“Hospitals, welfare, police, you name it, are strained. That all comes back on our city budget,” Sumerford said.

Mayor Harpole said the city’s schools are particularly hard hit.

“We have 660 (refugee) kids who don’t speak English and the U.S. Department of Education says they have to be at grade level within one year. It’s a ludicrous requirement — they don’t even know how to use the bathroom,” Harpole said. Washington pays schools $100 per refugee student per year.

Commissioner Burkett is looking to pattern a refugee blockade after a League City ordinance. On July 8, that city voted to block child refugees by “any manner necessary.”

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is investigating whether League City is in compliance with nondiscrimination laws.

On Capitol Hill, Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama, blasted fellow Republicans for passing a year-end funding bill that enables the Obama administration to ride roughshod over local communities.

“The Omnibus approves — without conditions — the president’s request for increased refugee admissions, allowing him to bring in as many refugees as he wants, from anywhere he wants, and then allow them to access unlimited amounts of welfare and entitlements at taxpayer expense,” Sessions charged.

“This will ensure that at least 170,000 green card, refugee and asylum approvals are issued to migrants from Muslim countries over just the next 12 months.”

Texas Reps. Mike McCaul, R-Austin, and Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio, have also called for tightening or halting the Syrian refugee program.

Like so many meatpacking towns in America, federal refugee resettlement contractors*** got a foot hold there years ago (mostly working as ‘head hunters’ for the meatpacking industry) and have continued to pour third-worlders into Amarillo despite pleas by elected officials to STOP!

scroll down to Texas to see which Refugee Resettlement contractors are working there.

[Nextrush]

How politically powerful are the meatpackers?

Have they bought off the local and state Republicans to do a song and dance with lawsuits and blaming Obama while the cheap labor keeps flowing in?

The Republican-controlled Congress ignored Babin’s bill and approved a $100 million increase for refugee resettlement.

The Rep's bill would have halted refugee resettlement until a cost analysis and security review is conducted. Yet the GOP buries the bill and funds further resettlement. Why do we even bother?

People of Amarillo:

Your central socialist government and your state government are doing a Merkel on you! Don’t allow ANY of these filthy, illiterate rapists in your community!

Stand up for your rights!

If you don’t, heads will roll and daughters traumatized or dead. These animals have even raped 5-year-old boys!

Did I tell ya’ll about my new truck gun ? Its purpose built for defense against against domestic and foreign enemies specifically. Also bought me a brand new ranch hand bumper and a set of 14 ply iroc all terrain tires last week for the 1 ton pickup. Farm to market roads around here have more and more cows , herefords and angus getting out on the roads after dark and i’m afraid I may hit one on the way to work. Intercoolers on the cummins are expensive to fix. Gotta be careful........We’re expecting a dustin of snow today........

Ya’ll stay safe and out of Amarillo. Its not safe there from what I read. Obama is seeding conservative areas with criminal voters.

Texas officials need to mobilize the Bank Secrecy Act to examine Obama's foundations finances to determine if he is using refugee resettlement as a fund-raiser....at their expense.

REFERENCES The post-presidency Obamas have BIG plans.....get-rich-quick schemes ala the Clintons. Gonna cash in bigtime---through two Obama foundations (two that we know of).

Obama figures he needs two foundations to handle all the post-presidency tax-free money about to roll in.....six-figure honoraria, multi-million dollar donations, lucrative consultancies, and, untold riches from insider Mideast business deals.

=====================================================

FOUNDATION ONE---OBAMAS SISTER IS A BOARD MEMBER
OF OBAMAs BILLION DOLLAR CHICAGO LIBRARY SCHEME

Maya Soetoro-Ng is his sister and a specialist for the Matsunaga Institute for Peace. She is the cofounder of Our Public School, a non-profit that connects schools to their communities, and the co-creator of a peace education program implemented in schools and communities around Hawaii.

==================================================

FOUNDATION TWO---HIS KENYAN HALF-BROTHER HEADS THE MUSLIM FOUNDATION--named for their Muslim father. Obama Foundation Two was fast-tracked for tax exemption by Lois Lerner.

Kenya-resident, Malik Obama in Muslim dress, holds up
photo of his half brother Obama in Muslim dress (left),
taken during Obama's earlier visit.

Americans must demand to see fund solicitation letters coming out of Obama's tax-exempt presidential foundations and his Chicago library fund.

Are any of his WH comments used to forward his policy being regurgitated in fund solicitation latters?

Americans demand to know if US govt policy is being wrongly used....in an effort to raise tax-free money for the obamas.

======================================================

US TAXPAYERS PAY NOW---Obama collects later.

Obama's federal outlays (that we know of).:

<><> $150 billion to Muslim Iran in the nuclear deal,

<><> $2 billion funding to Malik's organization---the Muslim Brotherhood,

<><> $50 million to Malik/Barack's tax-exempt foundation in the form of a grant to Kenya.

<><> While the Muslim Brotherhood was in charge in Egypt, Obama (and Hillary) showered them w/ praise.....and billions of US dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes.

<><> Obama gave $90 million US tax dollars to wealthy oil-rich Muslim African Muslim countries.

<><> the billions missing from the Obamacare scam.

<><> Michele talked about teaching girls, then Obama sent her off to oil-rich Muslim Quatar w/ $73 million US tax dollars to teach girls.

The Bank Secrecy Act should be mobilized----to follow the paper trail and determine how the Obama Foundations monies changed hands; to determine the scope and dimension of collusion in sub rosa deals and who might be personally profiting.

<><> L/E needs to examine the Obama Foundations bank accounts.

<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer of funds from one account to another, and/or wire-transferred offshore;

<><> To cover their tracks, fake invoices might be created to show that money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate purposes.

<><> Financial schemes scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of funds for insiders personal use and/or for redistribution schemes.

===============================================

NOTE WELL Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes.

The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.

Shady banking transactions could be prosecuted under the (1) Bank Secrecy ACT, (2) RICO, and, (3) the Hobbs Act.

=============================================

<><> L/E should get ahold of: (1) copies of the Obama Foundations checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including snail mail, e-mail, mobile devices, cell phones, (8) contracts, (9) loan agreements, (10) other account books or official records.

L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.

<><> L/E should scrutinize bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.

<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures, or campaign finance;

Tax fraud may also be a factor, facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from legal bank accounts into personal accounts, or redistribution schemes.

<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support and luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel....... and gifts from luxury outlets.

FBI TIPS PAGE--YOU MAY REMAIN ANONYMOUS ---https://tips.fbi.gov

SUBJECT: Collusion, conspiracy, bribery
IN RE: financial irregularities
REFERENCE: govt fraud, falsified documents, wire transfers, accounting fraud, etc.

NARRATIVE Taxpayers demand to know the scope and dimension of multiple conspiracies to collude in sub rosa deals to personally profit and/or to facilitate redistribution schemes.

OF INTEREST TO LAW ENFORCEMENT The FBI should interrogate Obama Foundation officials for evidence of multiple schemes to falsify official documents to further fraudulent schemes, and the filing of official documents that were falsified. The FBI should investigate any and all official documents submitted by the Obama Foundations for falsified entries.

Crimes might include--govt fraud, conspiracy, collusion, falsifying official documents (a felony), money laundering, tax evasion, extortion, theft, misuse of public facilities.

Examinethe Obama Foundations tax returns with a fine-tooth comb.....particularly entries for interest income.

“On Capitol Hill, Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama, blasted fellow Republicans..”

HOORAY Sessions!

But what is meant is, that the legislature of the United States are vested with the great and uncontrollable powers of laying and collecting taxes, duties, imposts, and excises; of regulating trade, raising and supporting armies, organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, instituting courts, and other general powers; and are by this clause invested with the power of making all laws, proper and necessary, for carrying all these into execution; and they may so exercise this power as entirely to annihilate all the State governments, and reduce this country to one single government. And if they may do it, it is pretty certain they will; for it will be found that the power retained by individual States, small as it is, will be a clog upon the wheels of the government of the United States; the latter, therefore, will be naturally inclined to remove it out of the way. Besides, it is a truth confirmed by the unerring experience of ages, that every man, and every body of men, invested with power, are ever disposed to increase it, and to acquire a superiority over everything that stands in their way.

Why isn’t this an act of SEDITION (conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch.) It is not just encouraged trouble it has done it.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission last month sued the federal government and the nonprofit International Rescue Committee, asserting the Refugee Act of 1980 requires Washington to “consult regularly” with state and local officials before resettling refugees.

In Amarillo, Sumerford said local services are being stretched by refugees. Police say crime is a chronic problem in the resettlement enclaves. The city currently fields 911 calls in 42 different languages.

We have 660 (refugee) kids who don’t speak English and the U.S. Department of Education says they have to be at grade level within one year. It’s a ludicrous requirement — they don’t even know how to use the bathroom,” Harpole said. Washington pays schools $100 per refugee student per year.

Target practice anyone?
