Bill launched to halt refugee resettlement (Syrian Muslims)
WND ^ | July 31 2015 | LEO HOHMANN

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 program since President Obama took office – with the state of Texas and its taxpayers taking in more than any other state.

Snip

Almost all of America’s refugees are selected by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres.

After they are assigned to the U.S., the DHS and the FBI are responsible for screening them for connections to foreign terrorist organizations. FBI Counter-terrorism Deputy Director Michael Steinbach testified before Congress in February that it is impossible to screen refugees from a “failed state” like Syria, where the U.S. has no boots on the ground and no access to reliable law enforcement data. Somalia has similarly devolved into chaos.

Corcoran also notes the irony that a union organizer would be leading the protest in Minnesota against those seeking to turn off the refugee spigot.

“We believe that Lutheran Social Services is literally acting as an employment agency for the large meat-packing companies operating in nearby towns and in need of an abundant supply of cheap labor,” Corcoran said. “Why American union workers don’t get it is beyond me.”

Snip

...the administration plans to take in thousands from Syria and is continuing to admit about 800 a month from Somalia.

At some point the people will resist.

I'll believe it when I see it, the American sheeple are amazingly tolerant of being stepped on, kicked, robbed and spat on.

WHEN IF HOW POSTED:“Pockets of Resistance” growing and spreading---concerned citizens demand answers—and TRANSPARENCY—in their communities.

https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2015/07/11/pockets-of-resistance-growing-and-spreading/

Now we can report there are growing "pockets" in the following states New Hampshire, Tennessee and Georgia. Idaho, Ohio, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia

Here is one notable exampleLast week a concerned citizen in Willmar, Minnesota made a presentation to the Kandiyohi County Board Meeting in Willmar). He asserted that the second highest number of refugees going to Minnesota were going to Willmar and not to St. Cloud (a very active ‘pocket’). He had done his homework and I include this video of the County Board Meeting to see the kind of presentation that you could be making where you live. Click on the video and go to 2:35:09 mark. (http://www.willmarmn.gov/wrac/show-information?show_id=943)

NOTE It loads for me on Firefox although on the second viewing I only got sound (but that is adequate for your purposes).

Be sure to see this post: (https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2015/06/30/greenfield-were-the-underdogs-were-the-political-guerrillas/) we wrote about resistance and sabotage.

If you have thrown a wrench in the machinery of government---or plan to---please report in.....let us know what you're doing.

WHENIFHOW will be adding posts to "Pockets of Resistance" as soon as possible)

I’ve known, and known about, the author of this bill since about 1995. He has finally won a seat in congress. I doubt the bill will go anywhere. It doesn’t list any Republican House Representatives who have signed onto this bill to help promote it - why is that? I’ll wait and see if that happens before I think it has a chance.

It darn well AIN’T the business of the gawd-awful United Nations to interject persons unknown into MY country, without going through the long, millenial-old, legal and fashionable process of integration AND assimilation.

I scream:

“STOP THIS NONSENSE, AND SEND THEM BACK, PIERCED ON THE TIPS OF BAYONETS, IF NECESSARY!!!”

We’ve got to do something. Our nation is being destroyed.

What have we done after 911? We’ve made our nation far less safe.
