Look what Obama did. He actively worked to destroy this country. Actively.
The last points in the list are very revealing of how American taxpayers are being abused.
–The program is rife with fraud and corruption at all levels. UN personnel often sell access to the program and once here refugees make false claims of family relationship in order to facilitate wider immigration. Government grant fraud is common among local refugee service providers.
–The refugee program has a significant impact on U.S. foreign policy. It also affects internal and foreign policies of other nations by allowing them to rid themselves of unwanted minorities or close their borders to asylum seekers in the knowledge that the U.S. will take them in.

Review = Refugee Resettlement Report: A Magnet for Middle East Refugees & Lucrative Business for U.S. Agencies
(excerpts from lengthy 2013 report)
- The program has gradually shifted towards the resettlement of refugees from Muslim countries. Some individuals from Muslim countries are Christians or other minorities, but most are Muslims. In the early 90’s the percentage of Muslim refugees was near 0; by 2000 the program was 44% Muslim. The Muslim component decreased after 911, but today is back up to about 40% and is set to rise from here.
Membership in a U.S.-registered Islamic terrorist group is not a bar to entry on the program as long as the refugee was not a “direct participant” in “terrorist” activity
16. Refugees, successful asylum seekers, trafficking victim visa holders, “Cuban-Haitian Entrants” (which are mostly Cuban), S.I.V’s (for Iraqis and Afghanis) and other smaller humanitarian admission groups are eligible for ALL federal, state and local welfare programs 30 days after arrival.
Refugee access to welfare on the same basis as a U.S. citizen has made the program a global magnet.
The federal programs available to them include:
∙ Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) formerly known as AFDC
∙ Medicaid
∙ Food Stamps
∙ Public Housing
∙ Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
∙ Social Security Disability Insurance
∙ Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD) (direct services only)
∙ Child Care and Development Fund
∙ Independent Living Program
∙ Job Opportunities for Low Income Individuals (JOLI)
∙ Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
∙ Postsecondary Education Loans and Grants
∙ Refugee Assistance Programs
∙ Title IV Foster Care and Adoption Assistance Payments (if parents are ⌠qualified immigrants – refugees, asylees, etc)
∙ Title XX Social Services Block Grant Funds
- Welfare use is staggering among refugees. Welfare usage is never counted by officials as part of the cost of the program. Yet, when it is included, the total cost of the refugee program soars to at least 10-20 billion a year.
As some Americans are pushed off of time-limited welfare programs many refugees are going on to life-time cash assistance programs
- Refugee resettlement is profitable to the organizations involved in it. They receive money from the federal government for each refugee they bring over. They have almost no real responsibilities for these refugees. After 4 months the “sponsoring” organization is not even required to know where the refugee lives.
There are 9 main major refugee resettlement organizations (Volags from “Voluntary Agency”) with approximately 450 affiliated organizations throughout the country; many are run by former refugees. Below are the 9 Volags that operate today:
– US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB),
– Lutheran Immigrant Aid Society (LIRS),
– International Rescue Committee (IRC),
– World Relief Corporation,
– Immigrant and Refugee Services of America (IRSA),
– Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS),
– Church World Service (CWS),
– Domestic and Foreign Missionary Service of the Episcopal Church of the USA,
– Ethiopian Community Development Center (ECDC),Below are some of the sources of income for Volags:
- $1,850 per refugee (including children) from the State Department.
- Up to $2,200 for each refugee by participating in a U.S. DHHS program known as Matching Grant. To get the $2,200, the Volag need only show it spent $200 and gave away $800 worth of donated clothes, furniture or cars.
- The Volag pockets 25% of every transportation loan it collects from refugees it “sponsors”.
- All Volag expenses and overhead in the Washington, DC HQ are paid by the U.S. government.
- For their refugee programs, Volags collect money from all federal grant programs – “Marriage Initiative”, “Faith-based”, “Ownership Society”, etc., as well as from various state and local grants.
The program is so lucrative that in some towns the Catholic Church has lessened support for traditional charity works to put more effort into resettlement. It uses collection offerings to promote the refugee resettlement program.

From 2013!!! Guess what the #s are today!!! Not one dime should go to ANY REFUGEE until every veteran and homeless Amercican who cannot work is taken care of in like manner and those who are working minumum wage jobs in large, expensive cities are rewarded with the same benefits. This is more than sick.. It is treason to our people to steal from our citizens and give to millions of people who hate democracy, hate freedom of speech to criticize them, hate the freedom do curse Mohammed like we curse Jesus, and who hate our values and our freedom of love speeh and hate speech which is speedily disappearing because of treasonous Legistlators.
We are throwing money to the many Muslims in NYC who laugh and curse at “stupid Americans” as they boast of soon ruling America simply with populaton Jhad. America is importing the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd tiered Jihadist army beginning with the millions of 1st Tier Taqiyya Pawns of Peace.

Agree. These jihadi “refugees” are so vicious and hate filled that they don’t even spare Christian Aid worker who help settle them in http://bit.ly/2rr9tGh
And of course Obama and his Left/liberal Pro-Islam Goons prevented this from leaking out to media because it would have woken up at least some of the American voters and affected the pro-islam scumbags from getting elected.

Most of the big players in the colonist importation program are large well organized Christian churches. They are accepting “30 pieces of silver” for selling slaves, who will be liabilities to the country and threats to the existence of Christianity, democracy and civilization itself. But it is all good, the ones is used for the good of the case, whatever pet cult tribalism that each group supports.

Is it not awkward Catholic Charities taking care of the muzrats, many of whom are participated in Christian genocide on Middle East. Same nonsense apply to Jewish HIAS. They are also helping the worst antisemites in the word to resettle in USA. Follow the money.
Shame on all of them

Many Catholics are absolutely abhorred by the official stance from rome on islam. If I wasn’t excommunicated already, I would be for my belief that this pope is totally wrong when it comes to inter religious dialogue with islam, as there is no dialogue, but total capitulation and submission. This is not what a Christian would do.

Allah is a desert demon, invented by a pedo-queer false prophet and worshiped by stupid, inbred, poor people. If America decided to wipe out the Arabs it wouldn’t be a war it would be an extermination!!

Only that the false prophet did not invent the desert demon. The devil existed at least the duration since the garden of Eden. To Eve, he disguise himself as a snake; to Mohammed he disguise himself as allah.

And they want to cut Social Security for seniors and change how the program pays out for future seniors but these people didn’t pay on Jennymax into Social Security and some of them are getting it. They also want to cut social programs like Medicaid and food stamps and many of the people that use those programs truly need those programs it’s the handful of crooks that give it a bad name for the rest of the people that need it there they are giving it all out to the foreigners!

Well said! If these government dependent immigrants are not returned to sender, there will be no other choice, but to drastically cut the programs you mentioned, as there is no alternative.

US government agencies are only useless bureaucracies. They exist for self-importance only. Only for itself. All of them are not needed.
But they DO come in handy to get officials re-elected, and spend all your “easy” tax money. Very addictive.

Of course the refugee program is shockingly misguided. As the article states, when you add the costs of long term welfare you get the true picture of an economic burden in tens of billions of dollars. However, I was always skeptical of articles that imply that these faith-based sponsors such as the Catholic church are in it for the money. I think that it is patently ridiculous to make such a statement. They do it out of a misguided and uninformed sense of morality and social justice, just like the progressive left. I was going to let this all go by without comment, then reached the last two lines of the article…
“The program is so lucrative that in some towns the Catholic Church has lessened support for traditional charity works to put more effort into resettlement. It uses collection offerings to promote the refugee resettlement program.”
Those two sentences are completely contradictory. If the program is so lucrative, why would it use collection offerings and lessen support for traditional charity works? You would think the profits would go to supliment collection offerings to increase support for traditional charity works. The statement I have quoted implies that the money is going to line people’s pockets, but not a shred of evidence is offered for that conclusion.
We are not going to solve the problem by suggesting that faith-based organizations are in it for the money. We will just alienate and outrage all these people with a misguided and uninformed sense of morality and social justice. Rather, we need to educate and inform them with accurate information, such as the true cost of the refugee program (along with all the other issues) to put it into perspective.

This is what we should all do ….renounce our citizenship and declare ourselves refugees. Or, more likely just shut up & pay our taxes.

Refugees need to be returned to their homeland that they have rendered the most miserable places to live on earth. They have done this to themselves voluntarily as Muslims, which is a barbaric belief system as wellas a criminal intimidation conspiracy. It deserves no protection as a religious entity.
