“Refugees” are defined as people who are outside their country of origin and have a well-founded fear of return to their homeland. Internally displaced persons (IDPs), who have been forced from their homes but are still within the borders of their own country, do not qualify as refugees, and–with some exceptions–cannot come to the U.S. as refugees. The only exceptions actually written into the law are for IDPs from Iraq, the former Soviet Union, and (surprise, surprise) Cuba. Also, U.S. embassies are authorized to designate certain IDPs as refugees, but only in “exceptional circumstances.” This means that–for example–Tutsis in Rwanda in 1994 would not qualify for admission to the U.S. as refugees by virtue of the fact that they are still in their home country. Ditto for Jews in Germany during World War II. [snip] … It is determined by Congress and the President. (by Jason Dzubow here and here) GET READY FOR NEW MUSLIM INVASION By President Barack Hussein Obama, in a determination letter to Congress, has announced that he will allow an additional 80,000 immigrants – – mostly from Islamic countries – – to resettle in the United States during fiscal year 2011. The following “goals” for new immigrants has been set as follows: Africa . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . 15,000 Refugee Resettlement Watch and other organizations have expressed grave concern that Mr. Obama is allowing some many immigrants into the country while so many Americans remain out of work and living in poverty. According to the US Department of Labor, 14.8 million Americans remain unemployed. 6.1 million have been out of work for 27 weeks or over. This figure has been challenged by the Union of the Unemployed who provide statistics that the actual number of unemployed Americans is 31 million. The U. S. Census Bureau shows that the median household income for Americans has fallen to $49,777 – – a decline of 0.7% in the past year. One in seven Americans no longer can feed themselves. According to The Wall Street Journal, 14.3% of the American people live in abject poverty. A refugee is defined by The US Department of Immigration and Naturalization as someone who has left one’s country due to persecution or a fear of persecution. This accounts for the sharp rise of Somali communities throughout the country. However, the definition of refugee is ‘fudged’ in several cases. “Refugees” who have not left their country due to persecution, according to Mr. Obama’s determination letter, can still be called “refugees” if they are from Iraq, one of the Islamic countries of the former Soviet Union, or Cuba. According to Section 413 (a) of the Immigration and Nationalities Act, the Office of Refugee Resettlement is required to submit an annual report to Congress on the activities of the refugees. The report is supposed to include the number who are on public welfare programs. But no report has forthcoming from the Office of Refugee Resettlement since 2007.
“JUSTIFIED BY HUMANITARIAN CONCERNS”
Paul L. Williams, Ph.D.
Mr. Obama says that the increase in Muslim immigrants “is justified by humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national interest.”
East Asia . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19,000
Europe and Central Asia ........ . 2,000
Latin America/Caribbean. ....... . 5,500
Near East/South Asia.. .......... 35,500
Unallocated Reserve ............. . 3,000
President Barack Hussein Obama writes a memo to the Secretary of State and, 80,000 more Muslim refugees are allowed into the United States. Am I the only one who has a problem with that? Also this is misleading because these are not really refugees:
