The Obama Regime Has Been Using An American Foreign Good-Will Program To Unbalance Local U.S. Demographics By Col. Tom Snodgrass (Ret.), Right Side News
The fall of Saigon to the communists in 1975 immediately created hundreds of thousands of Indochinese refugees. These displaced non-communists were resettled in America through an ad hoc U.S. Government Refugee Task Force. As a result of this chaotic resettlement experience, Congress passed the Refugee Act of 1980 to standardize the resettlement services for all refugees admitted to the U.S. Since the U.S. has begun the present refugee resettlement efforts in 1975, over 3 million refugees have been resettled the U.S.
It is this 1980 Refugee Act that now provides the legal basis todays U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) which Obama is using to impose foreign populations by the hundreds and/or by the thousands on U.S. communities that have not been consulted by the federal government about such mass relocations, nor have they prepared the physical resources to accommodate the unwelcome foreign influxes imposed on them by the Obama regime.
Under the current USRAP, the U.S. Congress is supposed to be consulted by the president to agree to the numbers of refugees, the designated sources of incoming nationalities, and the resettlement processing priorities each year. To date the Congress has not disputed or challenged presidential priorities and plans that are carried out by the State Departments Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (BPRM) in conjunction with the Office of Refugee Resettlement in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the security office in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Simply put, Congress has been derelict in fulfilling their legislatively mandated responsibility to rigorously monitor this program that has significant impact on communities which are at the mercy of unaccountable program bureaucrats through no choice of their own.
Not only does the congress exercise no authority over this massive and pervasive program, the U.S. Governments BPRM, HHS, and DHS bureaucracies are not even directly involved in the actual selection of refugees coming to America. Instead, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has been choosing up to 95% of those who are to immigrate to the U.S. as refugees! Consequently, it is the UNHCR, in fact, that is dictating and determining much of U.S. immigration policy.
The nine main major refugee resettlement organizations or Volags (from Voluntary Agency) are sustained financially by the receipt of over $4,000 per each refugee from the federal government. Consequently, the private Volag contractors have a financial incentive to maintain or increase the number of refugees they process each year, instead of allowing the number to decrease. The major nonprofit Volags are either religiously affiliated organizations like the US Conference of Catholic Bishops and Church World Service, or private charitable organizations like the International Rescue Committee and the Immigrant and Refugee Services of America. Of course, the nine major refugee resettlement organizations further subcontract to their approximately 450 affiliated local organizations throughout the country to provide logistical relocation services for the refugees.
Unsurprisingly the program is racked with fraud and corruption at all levels. UNHCR personnel sell admission into the program to prospective foreign candidates. Additionally, government funding fraud is commonplace among local refugee service organizations. There are no government oversight audits for money disbursed to the Volag contractors. And, because the refugees are eligible for Medicaid medical assistance, Food Stamps, Public Housing, Supplemental Security Income, Social Security Disability Insurance, Assistance for Developmental Disabilities, Child Care and Development, Independent Living Program, Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, Postsecondary Education Loans and Grants, Refugee Assistance Programs, Title IV Foster Care and Adoption Assistance Payments, and Title XX Social Services Block Grant Funds, refugee welfare use is staggering and the accompanying inevitable fraud have been rampant.
Welfare costs are never counted by officials as an expense of the program. Yet, when welfare costs are included, the real price of the refugee program for U.S. taxpayers approaches at least $10-20 billion per year. Furthermore, permanent and intergenerational welfare dependence has been permitted to become an integral feature in the living patterns of some refugee groups.
Nor is USRAP necessarily good for the U.S. foreign policy aims, since the program diverts monetary resources from assistance on the ground to those very countries which carry the main burden of refugee crises. According to the estimate of Refugee Resettlement Watch:
Ironically, the money the U.S. spends bringing one refugee to the U.S. could have helped 500 individuals overseas in countries where they currently reside . . . 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.
The danger USRAP poses to the U.S. was clearly explained in an article that appeared in the New English Review:
The US RAP is a virtual Trojan Horse facilitating immigration under the Islamic doctrine of Dar al Hijra- immigration that constitutes civilizational jihad. This is the subject of a book by former Islamic jurist and convert to Christianity, Sam Solomon, and co-author E Al Maqdisi, Modern Day Trojan Horse; The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration accepting Freedom or Imposing Islam? The authors drew attention to the Islamic imperative behind migration allegedly attributed to the prophet Mohammed:
Migration cannot be ended as long as there is kufr (unbelief) or as long as there is an enemy that resists (kenz al Umak 4627). In other words, as long as there are communities out there that are non-Muslim, where Islam is not regarded as a supreme system, then jihad must continue.
Hence, Mohammed made it clear that migration is a duty that needs to be upheld forever or until the earth has submitted to the Islamic hegemony.
The authors note that the hadith (alleged sayings of Mohammed) demand that Muslim migrants not assimilate and remain separate adhering to Sharia advancing the cause of Islam:
In other words: no integration with the host country. Now if ones entry visa or livelihood is based on showing some kind of integration then it must be in appearance only and temporary until the Islamization objective is achieved.
Also, the Muslim refugees relocated to the U.S. through USRAP are not screened for HIV or TB. In the U.S., half of the TB is found in the foreign-born population. Nor are the incoming Muslims vetted as to their jihadist beliefs and commitment.
Conclusion
The USRAP is not just a refugee resettlement program; it is in reality the open gate to the Islamic jihadist invasion of the U.S.
I’ve been looking into this for months. What surprises me is the difficulty in finding out where these people are being sent. No one, no website, seems to list the destination towns for these resettlements.
Youre right. Lets just stick with the Permanent Political Class. Theyve done well by us so far.
Thats TRUMP... he does business with them..
Works very well with democrat traitors or republican traitors.. he don’t really CARE..
Their money is both green.. Crony Capitalists are like that..
Amen, bro!
The Cult of Trump Hatred lives.
You need to head on over to Breitbart and do some serious thwacking. Trump just won the Breitbart August users poll in a big way. Perhaps if you peddle your Trump hate there, you can change some hearts and minds.
You really need to seek help for your extreme TDS.
This is confusing and misleading.
Congress has nothing to do with this. All the relevant decisions are made by UNHCR.
You really need to seek help for your extreme TDS.
I don’t hate Trump just don’t want him as President..
TRUMPS verbally writing Checks he cannot Cash..
UNLESS he was ..you know.. an EMPEROR..
