…..and that $2.2 billion is only for the Office of Refugee Resettlement (HHS) portion of the costs! It does not include the US State Department funding or the cost of security screening. Nor does it cover the cost of most welfare, subsidized housing, medical care and most of the cost of educating the children. They aren’t saying yet how many Syrians Obama will be requesting.
While I was on my 30 day ‘listening tour’ that took me to 13 mid-western and western states, the Obama Administration held a press conference call about the stepped-up Syrian Muslim refugee flow in to the US. Thanks to Christine for sending the transcript which I decided to post below in full.
Just so you know, all of the officials on the call are Obama appointees. Remember them! These are the people who are changing the demographics and the character of your home towns.
Anne Richard and Robert Carey both revolved in to their government perches from a refugee resettlement contracting agency (the International Rescue Committee). Shin Inouye is a former Washington, DC spokesman for the ACLU. And, for my friends in Montgomery County, MD, León Rodríguez was once your county attorney.
These Obama appointees are all hard core open (NO!) borders advocates, and if Hillary is elected they will likely be able to stay on and continue their work of changing America by changing the people!
And, if you are wondering, Obama has one more shot in September to make a determination about how many refugees will be admitted to the US in the next fiscal year.
We know what Obama is going to do, but what will Paul Ryan do?
It will be up to Speaker Paul Ryan and the REPUBLICANS to decide if the numbers Obama is requesting will be acceptable because it is Congress that will fund (or not fund!) the President’s final request!
This (below) is from a press conference call on August 5th. Those of you doing research around the country on what is happening where you live will find this useful.
BTW, I am struck by how little the reporters know about the program and so they largely wasted their questions.
See phone numbers at the end for the public affairs office of each government agency responsible for the refugee program. If you are reporting via alternative media about what is happening where you live, try calling those numbers! Call and ask questions even if you already know the answers!
Coordinator:
Welcome and thank you for standing by. At this time all participants are in a listen-only mode until the Question and Answer session of today’s conference. At that time you may press Star 1 on your phone to ask a question.
I would like to inform all parties that today’s conference is being recorded. If you have any objections you may disconnect at this time. I would now like to turn the conference over to Shin Inouye, USCIS. Thank you, you may begin.
Shin Inouye ...
