Yesterday we learned that the Southern Poverty Law Center could (fingers crossed!) implode and now The New York Times (The New York Times!) reports on the deep dark secret about travel loans to refugees that you pay for with your tax dollars.
I first heard about the travel loans in 2007 and wrote about them from time to time at Refugee Resettlement Watch, but I don’t recall any major publication saying much about them and certainly not with a questioning tone about how the nine federal ‘non-profit’ refugee contractors benefit from collecting the loans.
For many of you it’s bad enough that we give no-interest loans and that a large number are never repaid, but for me the scam has always been that the contractors (six are supposedly ‘religious’ charities) benefit financially from the deal.
Here is The New York Times. The story begins with the obligatory sob story to soften up the reader. --[cut]
For decades, the State Department has funded interest-free travel loans to refugees who cannot afford the cost of relocating here. Six months after their arrival, borrowers are expected to start repaying the loans to one of nine private nonprofits, known as resettlement agencies, which are involved in helping refugees start their new lives here. When refugees make their travel plans, they are assigned one of these resettlement agencies through the International Organization for Migration, which administers the travel loans.
I want you to open the link above for the nine private nonprofits and see that The NYT actually uses information from the Center for Immigration Studies —will wonders never cease!
The NYT continues….
The average loan per person is $1,100, and that amount can quickly increase when considering a full family. Meanwhile the resettlement agencies, including World Relief, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the International Rescue Committee, all of which collect the travel loan payments but have nothing to do with granting them to begin with, retain up to 25 percent of the total payments.....
a bit over $14 million went to the resettlement agencies. ---[snip]
Wow! Nice Scam there Catholic Charities< Lutherans< and all the rest.
Thanks for posting this. It helps understand the open borders industry’s deathly fear losing their federally financed gravy train.
Not only should these disastrous refugee scams be closed down, the money these charities have been given should be clawed back. And deport the “refugees” as well.
Anne’s story is amazing. I know Howie Carr has had her on his show. Don’t know about Hannity or others. She is the best.
Ninth circle of hell awaits traitors to God, Country and fellow man.
I hope the SPLC gets the hell RICO’d out of it. I have more sympathy for the Mob than these shysters. I have a couple of friends who got into the SPLC cross hairs because they are into sourthern heritage. They are Lost Causers of first order that is admittedly delusional and pathetic but not necessarily racist nor evil nor criminal.
Here are the 9 “charities” mentioned in the article according to the Center For Immigration Studies
Church World Service (CWS) (religious)
Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM) (religious)
Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC)
Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) (religious)
International Rescue Committee (IRC)
Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services (LIRS) (religious)
U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI)
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) (religious)
World Relief Corporation (WR) (religious)
It’s a racket.
Bttt
The whores of Babylon, children of that which rides upon the beast. The beast grows in strength, in our midst, in our land. DC has built it using We-The-People taxes and (more importantly) our scores of trillion dollar debt spending which this beast system created.
The names of the denominations mean nothing as far as I can tell. The names lend them credibility and people fall for it - like GWB “faith based charities”. The only faith was in their own bank accounts - Baptist - Catholic - Lutheran - mean nothing at all. People need to wise up.. So glad to see this article as I haven’t seen anything in a long time written by her. We can’t afford to take our eyes off the criminal element in our society - and I don’t mean the street/board room kind...I mean the GOVERNMENT kind!!!
This isn’t true. Go to the Immigration .gov web site. They tell you it’s a myth.
It is true and there is so much more. Open your eyes Lad. The last one pertains specifically to Vermont.

As Refugee Resettlement Watch reported recently after examining FY 2012 annual reports of these five Christian non-profits, they would all be hurt severely if the $1 billion refugee resettlement gravy train ended for them: 98 percent ($69 million) of Catholic Charities $70 million refugee resettlement budget comes from the federal government.

Refugee Resettlement Watch - On Friday, Judicial Watch “released 128 pages of documents it obtained from the mayor of Rutland, Vermont, showing a concerted effort by the mayor and a number of private organizations to conceal from the public their plans to resettle 100 Syrian refugees into the small southern Vermont town.”
