Agency will defy governor, bring Syrian refugees to Indiana

Wish TV ^ | 11/23/2015 | Jim Shella

[Dr. Marten]

Syrian refugees will continue to relocate in Indiana despite the governor’s order to close the borders until new security measures are in place.

Exodus Immigration, the largest relocation agency in the state, believes that the governor does not have the authority to stop the immigration of Syrian refugees.

It has plans to relocate 20 or so Syrian refugees to Indiana in the coming months and it is going ahead with those plans.

[Nextrush]

Blaming the media is a nice diversion from the fact that people in this forum and other places were led to believe the Republican governors were ‘getting tough’ when the truth is they weren’t.

[Neoliberalnot]

“Amazing how Obama is using Syrians not only to provoke world war 3, but also to start civil wars across europe and the usa simultaneously”

Thank you for seeing the truth. Every time Barack insane Obama does another act of evil, so many freepers start attacking republicans that oppose him. By ripping up BOs only opposition, they fall prey to another demrat rat trap and have good people eating their own.

Yep. they want to eliminate all boarders. Trump just said he'll bring them back on steroids! Just poking a little fun.

[PIF]

We are told by the government that it takes 18-24 months to vet these people, yet here it is only a few months into this so called crisis and already the government is bringing them in ... unvetted it would seem by their own regulations.

[Principled]

Exodus ...who are its owners and offivpcers and what are home addresses?

Also, arrest them for human trafficking as they enter the state. Jail them. Force hem to hire attorneys and for in jail for a while.

[Principled]

Trump goes up another 6%

He draws not only GoPro republican but also from dems. He wins in a landslide.

[driftdiver]

“I can’t explain it, but it seems to me that both the DNC and RNC (DRNC) both want to eliminate all boarders through the world. “

Agenda 21 and they are both supporting it.

Close down the immigrant resettlement group for violating state law. Take their administrators into custody if necessary.

[SunkenCiv]

Excellent ideas!

[Ann Archy]

They would like that....No put them next to a PIG FARM!!! Or a SLAUGHTERHOUSE!

The refugee agencies want the money that comes with this program, and it is very lucrative for them: https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/refugee-resettlement-fact-sheets/

Excerpt on the funds they receive:

“22. 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:

a. $1,850 per refugee (including children) from the State Department.

b. 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.

c. The Volag pockets 25% of every transportation loan it collects from refugees it “sponsors”.

d. All Volag expenses and overhead in the Washington, DC HQ are paid by the U.S. government.

e. 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.”

Note that nonprofits also receive a lot of money from federal grants. They’re very happy to continue screwing you over while patting themselves on the back for using your money to work at their relatively easy jobs.

This Hoosier is fighting mad.

Stay that way:

But in 2007 and as recently as last July, federal prosecutors in Dallas filed court documents linking the Plainfield, Ind.-based Islamic society to the group Hamas, which the U.S. considers a terrorist organization

Exodus ...who are its owners and offivpcers and what are home addresses?

Typhoid and Q Fever will do that. And if just one of them has Ebola....
