Let’s pay the refugees to go home using $3 billion in U.S. dues to the UN
Reader Harold made a suggestion this morning. But it isn’t completely new to us. It is an idea another reader proposed in 2015—let’s pay refugees to go home! I know many of you balked at the idea of using more of our money, but here Harold makes a suggestion for how to pay for it.
Ann.
A suggestion to send back refugees to their homeland.
How about a Refugee Repatriation Act [RRA]? The government would pay each refugee wishing to return to their home country $20,000 and provide free air fare in exchange for their US papers and/or citizenship and would NOT be eligible to return to the USA. With the United Nations handling the relocation of refugees and since the USA pays over 3 Billion of the UN’s regular and peacekeeping budget, the $20,000 dollar RRA amount would be deducted from dues the US pays to the United Nations.
St Cloud, MN and surrounding area, where I live, has a refugee problem and assimilation in our area is not taking place.
Ann, you have been out front on this refugee problem so give this suggestion some consideration.
Keep up the good work, Ann. (The $20,000 is just a suggested amount.)
Harold
I’m sure many of you assume that all the refugees we are hauling in here now want to be here. Over the years I’ve heard from those who want to go home! They were mislead about what it was like in America and are unhappy, but they cannot afford the airfare to leave. Setting up a program like the one Harold proposes would help identify those who hate it here and have no intention of becoming patriotic Americans.
Along these same lines, I would like to see a hotline established at the US State Department where unhappy refugees could call in to voice concerns, and the line could also be used for whistleblowers (I hear from those too!) from within the refugee contracting agencies to call in.
Although whistleblowers might now want to contact the Inspector General offices at the State Department and in the Dept. of Health and Human Services. Less chance right now of retaliation against you!
Comments worth noting is a special category at RRW to highlight readers’ ideas. See more here.
Any refugee or illegals who entered out country under the last president’s rule need to be gone. Close down any immigration for a couple of years so our country has sorted out as to what the hell happened. Let’s get America back!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great idea………How soon can we start?
The quickest way to reduce the magnet to come here is to put in E-Verify (have to be a legal worker to be employed) & pass Birthright Citizenship requiring a child born in this country to have at least one legal parent…….
It will be effective against illegal aliens & people who come legally and overstay their visas…….
E-Verify was promised to President Reagan in 1986………30 years ago…….If Congress had kept their promise today we would not be overrun with illegal aliens……..
