First month of FY2015, Iraqis top the list of refugees resettled by US State Department

October 31st marked the end of the first month of Fiscal Year 2015. You can have a look at which refugees the US State Department has admitted in those 31 days by clicking here.


Topping the list is Iraq with 1,790 Iraqis going to your towns and cities.
The next five after Iraq are as follows:

Burma: 1,240

Somalia: 871

DR Congo: 625

Bhutan: 370

Iran: 309

And, so far 51 Syrians entered the US in this fiscal year.

By the way, do you see the table listed here entitled: Arrivals by State and Country (Posted after the 5th of the following month). It is virtually useless to you because the refugees’ nationalities are not given, only the processing country. So if you look at Minnesota for instance, you can be sure MN got some of those Somalis, but Somalia isn’t listed. Much to my surprise South Africa is listed!

WTH, surely we aren’t bringing persecuted white South Africans, but I will bet you a buck we are bringing some of the unwanted Somalis from the RAINBOW NATION! 48 went to Minnesota in just the last month! So much for South Africa’s image as a welcoming country!

Just one more example of how the State Department keeps information from the general public: there previously was a data table available for which refugees went to which CITIES, but that is no longer listed as available to you (or me). You can be sure they have that information!

Remember Obama is shooting for 70,000 total refugees for the year, but dissatisfied resettlement contractors, like the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, are looking for 100,000.

Why we letting in Iraqi's and somailis is mind blowing.

Obama Bypassing Congress on Immigration Reforms
November 16, 2014 ~ U.S. President Barack Obama says he is prepared to use his executive powers, allowing him to bypass Congress, to enact sweeping immigration reforms.

Speaking Sunday at the end of the G-20 summit in Australia, Obama said he would not be swayed from achieving new immigration rules by threats from some members of Congress to take actions that could lead to another government shutdown. The president's new plans to issue executive orders on immigration by the end of the year unless Congress votes on comprehensive reform legislation could shield millions of people living in the U.S. illegally from deportation.

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Saturday at a conference at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California on the U.S. Pacific Coast that the Obama administration is in the "final stages" of developing the actions. He described the current immigration system as "broken." Johnson said it was unfortunate that Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives did not act last year on immigration overhaul legislation.

The Homeland security chief said the president's executive actions will be comprehensive and will strengthen border security. "We're in the final stages of developing some executive actions," Johnson said. "We have a broken immigration system. The more I delve into it, the more problems I see." Republicans, who will contol the Senate starting in January after winning elections earlier this month, have warned Obama that executive action on immigration would poison hopes for bipartisan cooperation in Congress. Asked Thursday whether there was a way for Republicans to block Obama on immigration without a government shutdown over funding the government, House Speaker John Boehner said, "We'll find out."

Several House Republicans, including some in leadership, said Friday they were trying to find alternatives that would stop short of directly threatening a government shutdown. Senator John McCain, one of the Republicans who supports immigration reforms, urged Mr. Obama to "give the new Congress some time" to see if it can move forward. He warned that any executive action could have "real repercussions" for ties between the White House and Congress. McCain is a senator from the border state of Arizona where many undocumented immigrants cross over from Mexico. A vocal group of conservatives is pressing to ban funds needed to implement any move that would allow millions of such immigrants to stay and work in the United States.
