Refugee resettlement agencies are preparing to shutter more than 20 offices across the United States and cut back operations in more than 40 others after the State Department told them to pare their operations, according to plans seen by Reuters.

...

The vetting measures are likely to significantly slow down the pace of arrivals, refugee organizations have said, and in the end the United States may not reach its cap for the year of 45,000 refugees.

Decent start. Now shut down the remaining freeloader processing offices.

Hopefully the US Catholic Bishops will have their invader resettlement program completely defunded.

Let’s hope Lutheran Refugee Services and Catholic Charities are hardest hit. They have sucked up a lot of federal funding letting tens of thousands of foreigners enter in the past 20 years and our country has suffered as a result.

The problem with refugees is that they’re supposed to go back home at some point. That’s not happening.

Cutting off resettlement funding to Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services would help as well.

The U.S. should get credit for all the illegal immigrants we’re feeding, housing, providing medical care. Like the couple hundred thousand “youths” who showed up in 2015.

We own a small office building in a Northern California city. We have leased office space as a satellite office for a SF-based immigration attorney for about 5 years (hey their money is as good as anyone else’s). He has another year to go on his lease with us, but has asked us to find a new tenant for his space. Reason: his business has fallen off sharply since Trump took office. Note: his clientele are principally agricultural workers. Given the robust commercial office rental climate in the Bay Area, we will have no trouble finding a replacement, which was not the case when we initially rented to him. P.S. he’s looking to close other satellite offices as well.
I have a neighbor who is an executive in a major business that packs fruit. He tells me that they are having a terrible time getting field labor to pick crops this year. As a consequence, his firm is investing heavily in the development of the mechanization of the picking processes with the notion that they must free themselves from the need for “stoop labor.” So the idea that we need to import more and more unskilled labor is not true. Take that “DICK” Durbin!
MAGA.

yeah, behind the screen of EOs being challenged in court, slow-walked, extreme vetting is what’s actually going on ... and it’s the kind of thing that’s easy to pull off when one has the levers of government in hand ...

Absolutely. They are the ones bringing them into my area of Florida. Shut them down.
