Bill launched to halt refugee resettlement (Syrian Muslims)
WND ^ | July 31 2015 | LEO HOHMANN

Posted on 08/01/2015 6:43:45 AM PDT by Whenifhow

A Texas congressman has introduced legislation that would halt the resettlement of United Nations-certified refugees in the U.S. pending a full study on the program’s impact on the nation’s economy and national security.

Rep. Brian Babin, R-Texas, introduced the Resettlement Accountability National Security Act, or HR 3314, which places an “immediate suspension on allowing immigrants into the United States under the refugee resettlement program, until the Government Accountability Office (GAO) completes a thorough examination of its costs on federal, state and local governments.”

According to US government data, nearly 500,000 new immigrants have come to the U.S. under the resettlement program since President Obama took office – with the state of Texas and its taxpayers taking in more than any other state.

Almost all of America’s refugees are selected by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres.

After they are assigned to the U.S., the DHS and the FBI are responsible for screening them for connections to foreign terrorist organizations. FBI Counter-terrorism Deputy Director Michael Steinbach testified before Congress in February that it is impossible to screen refugees from a “failed state” like Syria, where the U.S. has no boots on the ground and no access to reliable law enforcement data. Somalia has similarly devolved into chaos.

Corcoran also notes the irony that a union organizer would be leading the protest in Minnesota against those seeking to turn off the refugee spigot.

“We believe that Lutheran Social Services is literally acting as an employment agency for the large meat-packing companies operating in nearby towns and in need of an abundant supply of cheap labor,” Corcoran said. “Why American union workers don’t get it is beyond me.”

...the administration plans to take in thousands from Syria and is continuing to admit about 800 a month from Somalia.

Resistance growing in South Carolina, Idaho, Minnesota

A public backlash against the refugee resettlement program has sprung up in recent months in several communities, including Spartanburg, South Carolina; Twin Falls, Idaho; and St. Cloud, Minnesota. The refugee resettlement industry, which includes legions of immigrant rights advocates, lawyers and community organizing groups funded by George Soros, the Rockefeller and Ford foundations, among others, churned out a document in 2013 on how to deal with so-called “pockets of resistance.”

The document, authored by the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, one of the nine government contractors doing resettlement work, advised refugee advocates to research the backgrounds of local people who oppose resettlements and turn them over to the Southern Poverty Law Center for public shaming as “racists” and “anti-Muslim” bigots. This strategy has already been employed to varying extents in Spartanburg, St. Cloud and Twin Falls as residents have become organized and started demanding answers about how many refugees will be arriving, from what countries, and what the social and economic impact will be on school systems, job markets, health care and housing.

It doubt resistance will go far. Obama seems to get his way with congress every time. They just pretend they don’t hear the American people.

I believe all the “refugees” and illegals should be forced to move to blue states. They’re the sorry @#%& %^**(#$ that allow such things to happen. Send them all to Massachusetts, Oregon, California and Minnesota. See how long it is before they realize what idiots they are.

OPEN THE BOOKS OF SANCTUARY CITIES NOW---ACTION PROJECTS---(1) find the banks that handle sanctuary city municipal finances; (2) find sanctuary city insurance carriers; (3) find the number of identities illegals use to ride the gravy train; (4) find sanctuary city agencies' fraudulent use of tax dollars.

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


DO THIS NOW---CONTACT CONGRESS HERE
:
http://www.contactingthecongress.org/

DEMAND CONGRESS SEND YOU THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

HOW DO SANCTUARY CITIES DISPERSE FEDERAL TAX DOLLARS?

<><> How many tax dollars were allocated "to protect Americans from illegal felons"?

<><> How many tax dollars were spent "to secure and manage our borders," and "reduce the number of illegal immigrants and amount of contraband getting into the United States"?

<><> How many tax dollars were spent to "enforce and administer immigration laws"?

<><> How many tax dollars were spent "to provide safe and secure detention of illegal immigrants in federal custody if they are a flight risk or a public safety concern"?

INCONVENIENT FACTOID: All of the above are the excuses
DHS Secy Johnson uses for his bloated $42 billion budget.

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

REFERENCE--Homeland Security seeks $41.2 billion budget for 2016
February 4, 2015---By BioPrepWatch Reports

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson announced a $41.2 billion budget request Monday for the 2016 fiscal year.

The budget would improve the unity of effort at the department, Johnson said, focusing on “harmonizing DHS business processes.” Along with the budget, a new Common Appropriations Structure was also submitted to Congress, which would standardize financial planning, programming and budgets for all DH agencies, Johnson said.

There are five areas the department focuses on each year, and the budget is in alignment with those five missions, Johnson said.

<><> The first mission is to prevent terrorism and enhance security in the country by implementing security for the land, air and at sea.

<><> The next mission is to secure and manage the country’s borders, and reduce the number of illegal immigrants and amount of contraband getting into the United States.

<><> The third mission includes enforcing and administering immigration laws and providing safe and secure detention of illegal immigrants in federal custody if they are a flight risk or a public safety concern.

<><> The fourth mission deals with safeguarding and securing cyberspace, which impacts economic security. The 2016 budget would invest in technology and staff to reduce cybercrime and improve the security of federal network defenses

<><> The fifth mission, Johnson said, is to strengthen national preparedness and resilience so the country can prepare and respond to any type of disaster.<><> Johnson said before Congress approves any funding for the next fiscal year lawmakers should approve funding for the current year.

“The President’s FY 2016 Budget provides the resources necessary for the Department of Homeland Security to further strengthen our efforts to fulfill our wide-ranging missions, while also being agile and vigilant in the face of ever-evolving threats and recent world events,” Johnson said. “But prior to acting on the FY 2016 Budget, I urge Congress to fully fund DHS for the rest of this fiscal year, as the current continuing resolution is disruptive, creates uncertainty, and impedes efficient resource planning and execution.”

I am with Suzie Que, put them all within Federal jurisdiction. They have NO RIGHT to place them within the States. For that matter, WTH are we doing bringing in people at the behest of the UN?

Send troops? Wouldn't it be cheaper and more cost-effective in the long run if we sent troops and planes to the Middle East to wipe ISIS from the face of the earth? I think so.

Notice how places like Massachusetts seems to always escape having refugees and illegals dumped on them?

They gave us that old decaying teddy kennedy clown who is responsible for so many of our immigration problems. So I say we should dump them on Massachusetts.

Also, Obama wants to put ghetto blacks in good neighborhoods. Massachusetts doesn’t have many. I say we send them there.

What a great, long-overdue bill.

Can we make it retroactive?

Don’t know about retroactive, and suppose things could be different in a new white house 2017.
It is important to note that Obama wants the illegal immigrants to be “deemed” refugees, so this bill is definitely a plus, if it gets passed.

Whenifhow is the resident expert on the subject. Let's all heed W/I/H's input.

<><> REFERENCE Obama amnesty granted 500,000 Social Security numbers to illegals / FR Posted by Whenifhow
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/apr/15/obama-amnesty-granted-more-500k-ssn/

And this---we find earlier that Obama's providing tax-paid legal services IF the US tax dollars stop rolling in.

<><> REFERENCE--U.S. to Spend $2 Mil on Attorneys for Illegal Alien Minors. Obama's initial $2 million seed money will flow through the so-called Justice AmeriCorps, a group launched last summer by the DOJ Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). .....according to the DOJ grant announcement. “Grants will enable grantees to enroll lawyers and paralegals to serve as AmeriCorps members providing direct legal representation and other legal services to illegals...."

<><> NOTE Lawyer participation in this program is grounds for immediate disbarment under the US doctrine called "clean hands." "Clean hands" is a legal term meaning US justice is not dispensed to anyone who has committed an offense against the law....such as jumping the border.

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

ACTION NOW---GET FULL FINANCIAL DETAILS ON FEDERAL FREEBIES TO ILLEGALS----ASK YOUR SENATOR/CONGRESSMAN TO GET YOU THIS INFO ASAP. All tax monies expended must be explicitly detailed and published in the Congressional Record or Federal Register.

We have no business importing refugees of any flavor or description into this country. Let Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and all the other rich arab countries do it.

I’m tired of this country being treated as the trash heap for all the refuse in this world. The UN can make Iceland, Ireland, Scotland, and all those other countries take these muzzies. Better yet, make them go to Russia.
