It was only two days ago that I told you that “assimilation” is a dirty word in the lexicon of the Open Borders/Refugee industry. I also told you that we have admitted over 40,000 ‘refugees’ from the DR Congo (so far) with a UN agreed upon goal of taking 50,000.
(DR Congolese refugees are the largest ethnic group coming in under the Trump Administration. Only 3.8% are Muslim, if you are wondering.)
Now both posts serve as background for this stunner from Manchester, NH about a refugee from DR Congo who beat a woman (no mention if it was his wife) and was given a free pass by the legal system because he had come from a violent culture.
After reading the story here and here, I realized why the refugee advocates and officials have mentioned in the past that women from the DR Congo will need lots of (costly) mental health treatment.
Not just women and children!
And, we were led to believe that we were getting mostly women and children. I just checked the demographic data at Wrapsnet and was shocked to learn that men and women are pretty much equal in number and in fact in the 21-30 age group in most years, men arriving here out-numbered the women in that group!
Here is a bit from the story at ImmigrationReform.com (hat tip: Joanne):
Assimilation is one of the most critical aspects of any successful immigration system. It determines whether an aspiring migrant will be able to adapt to a nation’s values, laws, and culture. And no, this type of assimilation doesn’t mean that one must throw away all of the cultural heritage that makes a person who they are. Rather, it means that they must reconcile their heritage with the laws and values of the nation they wish to join.
A breaking story in New Hampshire highlights the importance of this concept. According to court records obtained by the New Hampshire Union Leader, a prosecutor dropped domestic violence charges against Augustin Bahati, a Congolese refugee, when she unilaterally decided “that he lacked the cultural competency to participate in the American justice system.” In essence, this means that the prosecutor determined Bahati was still so rooted in his old culture – where domestic violence is presumably acceptable – that he was incapable of being legally responsible for violating American domestic abuse laws.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), where Bahati is originally from, sexual abuse and domestic violence are commonplace. In fact, The DRC is often referred to as “the rape capital of the world.” Throughout the 20-year, ongoing civil war within the republic’s borders, the Brooking’s Institution estimates that as many as 48 rapes occur every hour, largely stemming from members of rival militias. In addition, there are very few laws on the books aimed at protecting women from spousal abuse.
This decision is highly troubling, especially since Bahati’s alleged crimes include “striking, pushing, grabbing, kicking and pulling out the hair” of a woman who was 27 weeks pregnant, according to the Union Leader. What the Manchester prosecutor seems to be saying, is that Bahati’s domestic abuse should be tolerated, because he is new to the United States and still acting according to the moral and legal standards of his native country.

Does your state ‘welcome’ refugees from the DR Congo?
Most states do. Only HAWAII, Delaware, West Virginia and Wyoming have escaped!
Since this big resettlement began in earnest in FY2013, we went back to that year (up to the present day) at Wrapsnet. 40,216 are living in your towns and cities. Only 9,784 to go to please the United Nations, but I have never seen one of these camp clean out projects end when they promised it would!
Tables and map
Did you write to ‘The Donald’ today???
Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to tell the White House what you think!
I bet this same prosecutor would also claim that ‘ignorance’ of the law is NO excuse for breaking the law... IF it so fit her prosecution. The ‘law’ business is going to destroy US.

DROPPED CHARGES DUE TO “CULTURAL INCOMPETENCY” DEMONSTRATES EXACTLY WHY ASSIMILATION IS VITAL

The American immigration system failed the alleged victims of Augustin Bahati before a prosecutor did, and that’s a shame. If we are unwilling to adequately vet immigrants and refugees by American legal and cultural standards, then we invite with open arms the trouble that is collapsing their home countries. Assimilation isn’t about imposing homogeneity, as critics often charge. It is about maintaining the core values that make this a nation that people want to live in. And, as the Bahati case indicates, it’s required to ensure public safety.
These days being a foreigner in America is better than being a citizen.
Sad.
Actually, them being “incompetent” should make it more important to get them off the streets. Treat them like any predator.
The sentimentality of these PCdiots is a dangerous indulgence.
If a citizen did what the Congolese did, not only would he have served time in jail, but would have lost his gun rights.
If this Congolese has a green card, he can buy guns.
We’re doooooooooooooooooomed!
PING
But it’s their “culture”! /S
Cultural competency should be requirement #1 for a person to even be considered for entry. Well, maybe #2 after making sure they’re not terrorists.
Should a woman not be entitled to the protection of the law simply because her assailant is culturally unfamiliar with US law?
Are her injuries less sever somehow because her abuser is from a violent land?
Is this man any less dangerous to NH citizens because his native culture is one full of violence?
If the refugees from this country are inherently violent perhaps they should not be released in to our communities.
Charles Manson lacked cultural competency.
We really need to stop the globalists’ idea that “refugees” should be moved to completely new continents. If said refugees really need to be taken out of their original countries, they should at least stay as close to home as possible. That both makes potential return more likely and keeps them within a closer cultural fit.
The idea that refugees need to win the lottery by being transplanted oceans away, where assimilation is not likely or possible, and costs are likely very much higher, is crazy.
I hope the next person this thug beats up is the prosecutor.
I'm half-tempted to suggest that perhaps all Christians should be deemed lacking in cultural competence to participate in the modern American justice system, which is so rooted in crimes against nature and nature's God.
But in seriousness, the judge's condescension is laughably ignorant and offensive to the very minority she is trying to protect.
Merkel basically used the same argument to airily dismiss refugee rapes and sexual assaults against German girls. “That’s their culture and we have to learn to live w/ it.”
Not likely.......seems to me the US immigration criteria also includes the positives an immigrant is bringing to our culture.
Having to accustom ourselves to THEIR culture of rapes and sexual assaults is not included in the bargain.
Obviously this was done to allow that criminal to stay in the U.S. These liberal activists masquerading as judges and prosecutors are now dismissing charges against immigrants both legal and illegal to halt their deportations under Trump administration.
Wasn’t all that long ago that people were put in homes or institutions if they were unable to ‘cope with the people around them’.
If they resorted to all out physical violence, there was a cell waiting for them either in a State run prison or Mental Institution, where the populace would be protected from the individual.
Now if the court was to deem him incompatible due to social upbringing, return him/her/it to a more comfortable environment.
But, in the ‘name’ of American Justice, I guess a case could be argued that we brought them here, somewhat against their will ie...Bringing someone from the Congo and relocating him/her/it to Minnesota or New Hampshire etc could be called somewhat ‘cruel’ or at least make it hard to adjust to your new surroundings when a loin cloth was suitable year round wear and one gets introduced to ‘long underwear’ and Parkas, then told to carry on like nothing has changed.
Well then, pass a law that forces all “refugees” to pass a Cultural Competency Test before being allowed into American society. ‘Course, the libs would howl at that, eh?
