Lawrence Bartlett, State Department refugee chieftain sidelined?

Posted on Leave a comment

The federal refugee contractors, that altogether receive over a half a Billion a year of your money to place refugees in your towns and cities, must be using reporters at Reuters to get their messages out to the public. I laughed when I saw that Reuters used a shot from when Bartlett headlined the Heritage..

And, yippee it is ahead of schedule as we once again lead the world in helping the United Nations clean out camps around the globe! Coming to America thanks to the UN! I think what is happening here is that since the Obama Administration promised a few years ago to admit 50,000 from the DR..

GAO says climate of “fear” in chicken plants where refugee workers are part of the workforce

Posted on Leave a comment

We have been reporting for years about the meatpacking industry, what we call BIG MEAT and BIG CHICKEN, having discovered the great advantages of hiring immigrant and refugee laborers (foreign-born the GAO calls them) who will work for lower wages (this industry once did pay good wages) and complain less than American workers who understand..

Politifact: There is no way to get at the true cost of resettling refugees in the US

Posted on Leave a comment

This is a story I missed in September right after the President spoke at the UN General Assembly.  Thanks to reader Brenda for sending it our way. We know this is true and it has been frustrating over the years when I’ve been unable to tell readers exactly what it does cost the US and..

US Conference of Catholic Bishops not happy with the President

Posted on Leave a comment

So what else is new.  The USCCB, as readers know, is one of the nine major federal resettlement contractors*** that is being financially hurt by the slowdown in the refugee flow to Your Town, USA. But, they never tell the public that piece of important information when they wail about federal refugee policy changes. I..

White House “New Senior Adviser for Refugees” still a mystery

Posted on Leave a comment

Over a week ago, the Heritage Foundation tooted their horn in an e-mail that they had visited the White House with their “Roadmap for Reform” for the US Refugee  Admissions Program. You learned about that visit here. In their e-mail Heritage said this: Last Thursday, they briefed Admiral Hall on their report at the National..

Supreme Court says Trump travel ban can be enforced for now

Posted on Leave a comment

Truth be told, I never fully immersed myself in the travel ban issue as I saw it as separate from what I’ve been concentrating on. I’ve thought from the beginning that the President should never have mixed the two issues (US Refugee program and a travel restriction) in that first Executive Order and thus thoroughly..

Breitbart reporter says Haley was the holdout, she wanted to continue with UN “compact” on refugees

Posted on Leave a comment

Well this news certainly changes the picture on the news we reported here yesterday. (Just a reminder that this compact was not some longstanding agreement. It was created only in September of 2016 when Obama, walking out the door, put on his little side show on refugees at the UN General Assembly meeting. It has..

Dramatic drop in number of refugees entering the US in first 2 months of fiscal year

Posted on Leave a comment

The President now has completed the first two months of what will be his first full year in admitting refugees to the US and we see numbers are dramatically lower.  In fact they are so low that if the present pace continues until the end of the fiscal year, September 30th, less than 20,000 could..
