Go here for all the latest on the House side where blogger Richard Falknor is tracking it at Blue Ridge Forum. Here is the news yesterday at World Net Daily from reporter Leo Hohmann with a catchy title: ‘New date that will live in infamy: December 11′ Despite all the tough talk by Speaker Paul […]
Gosh, what do you know! Ben Carson was right when he said on his trip to Syrian refugee camps in the region—they really don’t want to come here. They want to go home. Gives me an idea for some Congressional tweaking (see at the end of this post). From Gallup via the Washington Times: America […]
Abbott vs. Miliband! The threat is directed at the International Rescue Committee*** headed by the former British Foreign Secretary, David Miliband. The lawsuit would pit Abbott against Miliband who came to the US in 2013 to head up the largest (financially) of the nine US resettlement contractors. From the Houston Chronicle: Texas health commissioner Chris […]
Looks like the ACLU and the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) are on the same page. The way to solve the latest argument by the Obama Administration and the NO borders gang is to defund all refugee resettlement in the upcoming ‘omnibus’ and not single-out the Syrians for special treatment. First Reema (from Jeh Johnson) and now […]
For all of you in the medical field and who are also concerned about refugees, more information is available. This is from US News. Maybe we should be suspending the refugee program for the health risks it poses that might in the end be greater than the terrorism risks! Almost the last line was the […]
Ms. Amina Mohammed, 54, has served as the top United Nations diplomat responsible for corralling countries to commit to a spectacularly ambitious set of global development goals, meant to save the planet and its most vulnerable people. Known as the Sustainable Development Goals, or Agenda 2030 after the deadline for meeting them. This is something […]
Remember Julia? Reema is the Syrian Muslim Julia! This will make you want to scream! There is nothing to “crosscheck” her “biographic and biometric” data with—there is no data available from Syria! Interesting that it confirms that it is the UN High Commissioner for Refugees sending the Syrians to your towns! And, that they have […]
Julia Hahn has another good piece at Breitbart yesterday (hat tip: Joanne) on the refugee resettlement controversy and how it is roiling the 2016 Presidential campaign. Haven’t we seen what happens when a boy runs this country? And, so I can’t believe that any thinking person could say that Florida Senator Marco Rubio is ready […]
You’ve heard me mention several times that on the day before the Paris Islamic terror attack, Don Barnett and I briefed staff of Congressmen and Senators on Capitol Hill on the UN/US Refugee Admissions Program. The briefing was organized by ACT for America. Again, this was before Paris and the whole refugee world was turned […]
The new hard Left Canadian government is hell-bent on bringing in 25,000 Syrians in a little over a month. Apparently unable to find housing for them, they will be housed in military barracks across Canada. From CTV News: Soldiers and military personnel at a Kingston, Ont. base are being asked to clear their barracks to […]
In one short week, everything has changed in the political landscape around the UN/U.S. State Department Refugee Admissions Program, so much so that I’ve lost track! Here is a good U.S. map and description (as of Thursday, the 19th). I know 48 hours is a long time ago considering how fast things are moving, so […]
Those refugees with latent tuberculosis are admitted to the U.S. and some who are being treated for active tuberculosis may also gain entry. We have an entire category here at RRW on refugee and immigrant health (286 previous posts!) and I’ve maintained for years that health problems coming into the US with refugees and the […]
Since my two previous posts are so popular—the first is on Syrians admitted to the U.S. in FY 2016 (which began on Oct. 1) and the second on Somalis admitted in those same 6 weeks, I thought you might like to know about the Iraqis who have been coming into the US (over 100,000 since […]
I feel sure our friends at VDARE won’t mind if I post Maryland grassroots warrior Ed Hunter’s letter to VDARE about what happened on Friday evening when the indefatigable Hunter unfurled one of his highway overpass banners for French TV. Here is Hunter’s banner for this week, but you can see others of his novel […]
Gates of Vienna reports that a petition in the wake of the Paris terror attack seeking the halt of all refugee resettlement to the US from Middle Eastern countries has been placed on the White House ‘We the People’ petition site. Please go to GoV, see comments and follow links! And, don’t forget that a […]
