The Asylum Racket Costs U.S. Taxpayers

Did you know that the Tsar­naev Boston Bombers came to our country with false claims of persecution and then cashed in to receive $100,000 in U.S. welfare handouts? Did you hear about the Somali youths who left Min­neapolis to join Al-Shabaab and ISIS? Did you know that a Burmese Mus­lim, within a month of his ar­rival in Utah, murdered a lit­tle Christian Burmese girl and was sent to prison for life? Did you hear that Alaska has received so many Muslim refugees that they have built a mosque in Anchorage?

If you didn't hear those facts, put it down to the secrecy of the refugee racket, which does its best to operate under the radar. We heard about these asylum events from Ann Corcoran, who has made it her mission to ferret out the facts and publish them on her blog, Refugee Resettlement Watch.

The asylum immigrants are brought into our country and settled in 180 U.S. cities by nine contractors (pretending to be "re­ligious charities") and 350 subcon­tractors. These lucky immigrants are mostly selected by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Iraq tops the list of refugee immigrants with 20,000 arriving each year, of whom 76% are Muslims. At least 10,000 are Somalis, and our State Depart­ment has announced that we will be admitting 10,000 Syrians this year, mostly Muslims.

Ann Corcoran doesn't criticize the policy of admit­ting genuine refu­gees from persecu­tion, but she does criticize the high numbers, the secre­cy of the program, the lack of commu­nity involvement in the decision-mak­ing of where the immigrants will be located, and the large-scale admission of eth­nic groups that have no intention of assimilating in America. This process is the result of the Refugee Act of 1980, the brainchild of Ted Kennedy, aggressively supported by Joe Biden, and signed into law by Jimmy Carter. The contractors who bring in these immigrants are paid by the head with U.S. tax­payers' money. They immediately expand the numbers of foreigners they are handling by bringing in the refugees' family members.

The big difference between these asylum refugees and other immigrants is that the refugees are entitled to all forms of government-paid welfare the minute they set foot in America, whereas our laws require ordinary legal immigrants to show that they have the means to support themselves and will not become a "public charge." The feds even give the asylum immigrants start-up money for 3 to 6 months, which gives their contractor time to sign them up for subsidized housing, healthcare, food stamps, job counseling and training.

The immigrant kids are quickly enrolled in public schools. We now have U.S. school districts where dozens of different languages are spoken. Many of these kids not only don't speak English, they don't even speak Spanish and require translators who can speak languages unknown to most Americans.

Many cities are now resisting this invasion of their towns and schools. The U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement is trying to keep them in line by labeling them "Pockets of Resistance" and hiring a left-wing community organizing group called Welcoming America to shut them up. Ann Corcoran concluded her speech by warning: "We can survive terrorism. We can't survive migration."
