Kentucky again! Refugee resettlement must be growing in the Bluegrass state!
Yesterday we told you about the Syrian refugee family being resettled in Louisville, KY right now and here is news about Lexington, KY and the same refugee contractor.
Barbara Kleine runs the Lexington Office of Kentucky Migration Ministries which is working with grants from Islamic Relief USA we learned yesterday. Kleine’s photo and bio are here:
So either Kentucky is a hot resettlement site or the contractors there like making news! This is a story about a fundraiser Kentucky Refugee Ministries is having (ho hum), however there are two bits of information worth mentioning.
From Kentucky.com:
First an Iraqi refugee complains that “there is not enough financial support” for them! Now, the resettlement industry would say this means we need to throw more government money their way, but how about looking at it this way: Maybe we are bringing more refugees than we can afford!
“There is not enough financial support of an organization like this,” Alnaasree said. “There are so many refugees from all around the world, Africa, Asia, the Middle East.
“They arrive here looking for a better life, better chances, but we start to figure out the truth,” he said. “There is not enough financial support.”
Someone needs to investigate this funding source…
What about that Islamic Relief USA money we learned about here in our report on Louisville? That was the first time I ever heard of a contractor getting “grants” from an Islamic ‘charity’ to resettle presumably Muslim refugees. Where are the two US Senators from Kentucky on this question?
***Update***Ryan Mauro writing at the Clarion Project says that Islamic Relief USA is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood (here).
