Advocates from across the country will gather at www.DCRally4Refugees.org, (funded by Soros) August 28, 2016 in Washington. They will call on the U.S. to provide additional resettlement (200 thousand plus) of Syrian refugees and greasing the skids for Obama's request to Congress for 2 Billion plus funding. Maybe we should give em a big welcome to DC.

TWIN FALLS, IDAHO — The victim’s mother heard her 33-year-old daughter “screaming and crying” as the mentally disabled daughter ran home Saturday afternoon after allegedly being trapped and sexually assaulted by refugee Mohammed Hussein Eldai. That’s just one of the heartbreaking details in a police report obtained exclusively by Breitbart News that sheds new light on this latest alleged refugee sex attack to hit this small southern Idaho city. Just as many Americans have begun to learn about the shocking early June attack on a five-year-old girl by three Muslim refugee boys who orally and anally penetrated the girl before...

The State Department revealed Tuesday the United States has accepted 8,000 Syrian refugees so far this fiscal year, admitting they could actually exceed President Obama’s goal of admitting 10,000 migrants from the war-torn Middle Eastern country by Sept. 31. Anne Richard, the assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Population Refugees and Migration at US Citizenship and Immigration Services, said during a press call last Friday:

Four refugees sent to Indiana by the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement in 2015 were diagnosed with active tuberculosis once they arrived in the Hoosier State, according to the Indiana Department of Health. Active tuberculosis (TB) is infectious, while so-called “latent TB” is not infectious. But 10 percent of those infected with latent TB develop active infectious TB. In 2015, almost 400 migrants with latent TB settled in Indiana, according to state records. The state’s TB rate had declined for the 54 years up to 2010, but is now increasing as more migrants settle in the state. “Tuberculosis is one...

Days before a family of six Syrian refugees was to arrive in Texas, the furniture and supplies for their apartment were ready. Local volunteers collected mattresses, toys and bicycles for two children. Syrians already settled here were prepared to welcome them and help them get acquainted with their new home thousands of miles from their war-torn homeland. [...] Refugees arrived this week in two cities in Texas and in Indiana, both states whose governors have said they reject Syrian refugees due to concerns they might pose a threat to public safety. A family of six refugees was settled Monday night...

Empowers the states to ensure the safety and security of their citizens by blocking the resettlement of refugees within their borders Sen. Cruz & Gov. Abbott Press Conference on the State Refugee Security Act of 2015 (Video) WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today introduced the State Refugee Security Act of 2015 (S. 2363) at a press conference in the U.S. Capitol where he was joined by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. The State Refugee Security Act will amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to permit the governor of a state to reject the resettlement of a refugee in...

The Service Employees International Union - fresh off its endorsement this week of Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton - is launching a multimillion dollar advertising campaign blasting GOP candidates for their "anti-immigrant attacks." The campaign will target Republicans like Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Jeb Bush, who have suggested rolling back the Obama administration's immigration policies. It is timed to run over the one-year anniversary of the president's controversial executive order allowing millions of illegal immigrants to live in the U.S. "One year ago, President Obama took historic action, standing up for all families striving to achieve the...

Hawaii Gov. David Ige says the state would welcome refugees from Syria with aloha. Ige said in a statement Monday that Hawaii and the U.S. have a long history of welcoming refugees affected by war and oppression. Ige spokeswoman Jodi Leong says it's too early to speculate on how many may come to Hawaii as the governor hasn't been contacted by President Barack Obama or his administration. The governor says "Hawaii is the Aloha State, known for its tradition of welcoming all people with tolerance and mutual respect." Ige says safety is his first priority. He says the U.S. accepts...

The mass-migration spectacle unfolding in Europe in recent months, preceded by news of destruction and mayhem committed by ISIS in Syria, has touched the hearts and consciences of Americans. Images of desperate, weary people trudging into Europe have prompted demands from faith leaders, members of Congress, refugee-resettlement contractors, and newspaper editorial boards for Americans to “do our part.” And by “do our part” they don’t mean we should send more blankets, food, and clothing. They mean “bring more Syrians to the United States.” It didn’t take a lot of arm-twisting to quickly convince the president to expand the annual refugee-admissions...

Muslim invaders are arriving in cities and towns across America, with many more to come. Perhaps you’ve seen your town transformed. If not, you soon may. It’s call “refugee resettlement” which is code for transplanting entire communities from hellholes in the Middle East to once beautiful towns and neighborhoods across America. There are many things we all need to know to ward off this systematic destruction of our communities, and indeed our country. Below you will find vital information, including ways to take action. First I will explain some of the factors that impact how invaders wind up where...

A century ago the Rust Belt was the country's industrial heartland, with cities like Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Detroit innovating manufacturing processes that drew, among others, large numbers of European and Latin immigrants. When industrial decline eliminated well-paid blue-collar jobs, entire families of new Americans left for more foreign-friendly metropolises to find better work opportunities and living conditions. Today, many of these once-dominant industrial cities are taking steps to attract immigrants and refugees as a way to reverse a half-century of population decline. Welcoming groups in Cleveland, Dayton, Detroit and St. Louis promote immigrant integration within the region, while public officials...

President Obama and his rancid leftist allies have subjected America to a blizzard of lies. Nothing that leaves his mouth even remotely parrots the truth, but typically stands truth on its head. The propaganda infrastructure spanning media, Hollywood, non-profit institutions and the halls of academia then erects a virtually impenetrable wall of disinformation to advance the lie. They have just foisted on us a “deal” with Iran that threatens to create a holocaust, the likes of which America, and perhaps the world, has never seen. As Iran chanted “death to America” and “death to Israel,” this “deal” somehow skirted the...

I cannot get a straight answer to the question “What is the cost to settle a ‘refugee’ (typically a family of ‘refugees’) and make them part of our society. I mean a real total of processing abroad, transportation, living allowances, translation services, medical treatment, supplementary income, and others. Data 20 years old and way under-valued by now is at http://www.utexas.edu/lbj/uscir/respapers/efc-feb97.pdf. That would include: 1.) initial costs and ongoing by the Fed (report estimates $8600/year for healthcare alone) 2.) initial costs and ongoing by the States 3.) initial costs and ongoing by the charities (personnel, shelters, advisors – all are costs...

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...

BEIRUT (AP) — An international aid group has called on the United States to resettle 65,000 Syrian refugees before the end of 2016. David Miliband, the President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee, tells The Associated Press that the whole international community shares responsibility for the consequences of the Syrian civil war. Miliband, a former U.K. Foreign Secretary, says the U.S. has traditionally taken half the world's registered refugees who resettle in third countries and that the United Nations says it wants 130,000 refugees from Syria resettled in the wealthier countries of the world by the end of 2016....

Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), two lawmakers who are part of the gang of eight immigration bill, are unaware of the administration's willingness to accept thousands of Syrian refugees into the United States. Rubio, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, told Breitbart News, “Well this country has a long history of asylum and taking people who are fleeing oppression. On the other hand, given the nature of the Syrian conflict, like any asylum seeker, that they be carefully vetted. That’s my initial take. It’s the first I’ve heard of it.” Jordan, Turkey, and Lebanon have taken...

The Washington Times reported Sunday that “the Homeland Security Department has granted legal status to 99.2 percent of all illegal immigrants who have applied under President Obama’s new non-deportation policy for young adults, according to the latest numbers released Friday.” It’s another giant middle finger to the American people by the Obama administration, endangering national security and guaranteeing higher unemployment. Supporters of this policy, according to the Times, “say the high rate makes sense given the motivated pool of youngsters, known as ‘Dreamers’ because of the Dream Act legislation that would give them full citizenship rights.” Yes, the motivated pool...

A non-profit nation of hundreds of taxpayer funded 501(c)(3)s has grown up around refugee resettlement in the U.S. A recent government-sponsored study finds "U.S. resettlement communities are awash with ECBOs that exist in name only but provide little meaningful assistance." ("Practitioner Lessons from Ethnic Community Self-Help Programs," ISED Solutions, August 2009) Some of the ECBOs (Ethnic Community Based Organizations) apparently exist only to bring in grants and contracts for themselves. But this will not be mentioned in the flurry of meetings, memoranda, and recommendations around an initiative to "help restore the capacity of the US Refugee Program to serve increased...

WINDHOEK (Reuters) - Namibia's land minister has warned the country's white farmers that laws may be amended to speed up land reform, saying the current voluntary sales approach was failing to put land in black hands. Minister Jerry Ekandjo, in comments carried by local newspapers on Thursday, said "land hunger" in the southwest African country was building and new steps would be considered to speed up the reform process. Land remains an emotive issue across southern Africa, where despite the end of colonialism and apartheid huge ownership imbalances remain with much land still in white hands. Ekandjo did not elaborate...

Resettlement After the Disaster: Take a Cue from the Past Barry Farber Thursday, Sept. 1, 2005 In the days immediately following Katrina's fury the news kept getting worse, not better. The airwaves crackled with verbal icepicks, like "over a million homeless," "the authorities have lost control," or "no one knows when the refugees can safely return." Though those in charge in government, police and the military were presumably doing their best, their best was sadly inadequate - and the media wasn't letting them get away with it. Come with me back to late 1956. The Hungarian population had risen up...
