Democrat legislators have drafted a bill to import at least 50,000 “climate refugees” per year despite the damaging impact on Americans’ wages and rents.
“America will continue to stand tall as a safe haven for immigrants,” declared Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-NY), who was born in Puerto Rico and chairs the House Committee on Small Business. She said:
Despite this Administration’s efforts to strip the world’s most vulnerable populations of refuge … this legislation will not only reaffirm our nation’s longstanding role as a home to those fleeing conflict and disasters, but it will also update it to reflect changes to our world brought on by a changing climate.
The bill is titled the “Climate Displaced Persons Act,” and it offers green cards to “climate-displaced persons … [who] are individuals who have been forcibly displaced by climate change or climate-induced disruptions, such as sea-level rise, glacial outburst floods, desertification or fires … there could be as many as 200 million CDPs by 2050 globally,” said a statement from Velázquez‘s office.
“The new program would admit a minimum of 50,000 CDPs, beginning with Fiscal Year 2020, allowing CDPs to access resettlement opportunities,” the statement said.
But the progressive advocates are hoping to welcome many extra migrants into Americans’ homeland, which progressives have tried to relabel as a “Nation of Immigrants”:
Since 2008, catastrophic weather has displaced an average of 24 million people per year, according to data from the Swiss-based nonprofit Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre. That number could climb to anywhere from 140 million to 300 million to 1 billion by 2050. The World Bank estimated last year that climate change effects in just three regions ― sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America ― could force 143 million people to flee by the middle of the century.

Here in California we have more than 150,000 wildfire refugees right now. Subtract the 50,000 she wants to bring in and we have an excess of 100,000 refugees.
Another bill that will never reach the floor of the Senate.
I think their crystal ball has a crack in it.
They can start with Californian’s, we’re sorta hurting.
God please don’t let these fools ever really get back in power.
No it won’t.
and i used to think “why bother posting these things that won’t make it through the senate?
then i realized it lets us know how BAD things would be if we lost the senate.
“That will vastly improve the country, and the environment”
This should be agreed to only if we can deport 50,000 Democrats each year as balance.
As long as we send them all to California where the weather is always perfect and they can poop anywhere....
“... so now the Democrats are looking for a new source of migrants....”
Exactly. The RATS have been very successful using demographic change to create “undocumented Democrats” for their voting roles, they are looking for more ways to get them into the country.
We can count on Romney and the Bushes co-signing this.

And every one of the Amnesty Senators, Rubio, Graham, Hoeven and Murkowsky.
illegals cost us almost $1 TRILLION DOLLARS per year (when all costs are added up both direct costs and incidental), and now we wanna add ‘climate refugees’ to throw even more money to? Seniors disabled and veterans live off of practically nothing- but these refugees will be given free homes, plus all the perks of ‘free stuff’ to the tune of nearly $45,000 per year per individual
[[If Climate Change is destroying the whole planet, what makes the US a safer haven for climate refugees ?]]
Money- money money money- OTHER People’s money- take from conservatives and give to people who will vote democrat- that’s their plan- flood the country with democrat voters- hell, conservatives will pay for them to sponge off us- via mandate of the left!
money money money, it’s free dontchaknow? (As long as you’re a muslim from another country OR a mexican who will vote democrat-
[[ and they can poop anywhere....]]
No need for any expensive indoor plumbing, just crap on the sidewalks- SOMEONE ELSE will clean it up!
liberals really suck!
It’s a ploy to bring in Muslims from countries dominated by civil wars and terrorism. To bring them in by large numbers and not even the slightest check to see if anyone is a terrorist. It tells ISIS they are welcome to come set up shop here and no one will so much as ask a question. When churches and schools inevitably suffer Islamic terrorist attacks, the Democrats will crack down on gun owners, “extremist” Christians and “hate speech.”
And to think I thought that the Dems had achieved the ultimate depths of idiocy and stupidity and then I see this.
This is the last God damned straw! These Democrats need to be run out on a rail and strung up. They mean to end this nation.
Another new voting base plan for the rats
Amazing that the thermometer never rose a single degree and whole divisions of military age young male Muslims are “displaced” around the world.
Not so amazing that it is Democrats who want to raise taxes to pay for this.
That is, import huge numbers of democrat voters.
Total idiocy.
The idea that anyone should be airlifted from their home country to the US—because of something to do with the climate.
