Nancy Pelosi’s Congressional District Has Taken In Zero Syrian Refugees​

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has been a vocal backer of President Obama’s (ultimately successful) plan to import a minimum of 10,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the fiscal year, at one point accusing Republicans of “slamming the door on mothers and children.” But with just days remaining in the 2016 Fiscal Year, Pelosi’s own district has yet to resettle a single Syrian refugee.

Since Oct. 1, 2015, more than 12,000 Syrian refugees have been placed in the U.S., according to data from the State Department’s Refugee Processing Center.

San Francisco, California, which includes Pelosi’s district (CA-12), has taken in zero refugees since the fiscal year began. San Francisco also didn’t take in any Syrian Refugees in either 2014 or 2013.​

Are you a paid instigators and fomenters of ill will? Or maybe you're just plain stupid, ignorant or both?

1. The U.S. does not import human beings, refugee or otherwise.
2. Neither Nancy Pelosi's district nor the Representative has a say in where refugees are resettled. Who does?
   1. Church World Service,
   2. Ethiopian Community Development Council,
   3. Episcopal Migration Ministries,
   4. The Hebrew Immigration Aid Society,
   5. International Rescue Committee,
   6. Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service,
   7. U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants,
   8. United States Conference of Catholic Bishops/Migration and Refugee Services, and
   9. World Relief.
3. Those nine organizations meet each week with the State Department to decide how refugees will be redistributed. Each agency accepts new cases based upon their organization capacity, taking into consideration budget and current caseload.
   
   The resettlement agencies look at each particular case and make a determination about where the person or family should be sent based upon a number of factors. "The most common reason for a refugee to be assigned to a particular place is a personal or family connection," a State Department spokesperson says, speaking on background. "We try very hard to get refugees close to people that they know because we think that they have a better chance of success if they have support network when they first arrive, aside from just the volunteers."

Lastly, do you have the first idea where Mrs. Pelosi's district is? Essentially, it's San Francisco proper. Just who in their right mind would resettle refugees coming the U.S. with little, if anything, other than the clothes on their backs and resettle them in one of the most expensive cities in which to live in the whole of the U.S. If they happen to speak English well and are highly skilled, sure, S.F. may be a reasonable place to resettle them, but, those skills and abilities are useful just about anywhere in the U.S., so why drop a refugee family into one of the most difficult places for them to "make it?"

Doesn't matter where they settle in California, they'll eventually end up in San Francisco. Nancy would probably have them booted out.

Whether she wants to or not, she hasn't the authority to do that.

San Francisco has turned into a Hi-Tech Google, Facebook city.. Anyone making less than $100.000 will not make it in San Francisco.

The Mayor did this, I don't think Pelosi was involved , not sure.

FWIW, though there is a sizeable Muslim population in the S.F. Bay Area, there are very few in S.F. itself and of the Muslims there, they are mainly black American Muslims rather than Arab and Persian/Iranian Muslims. Accordingly, given the approach the non-profit organizations that determine where refugees settle, there is little likelihood that Syrian refugees will have some sort of connection with folks in the community.

As for no Syrian refugees having been settled in San Francisco, Mrs. Pelosi's district, the same can be said of lots of Congressperson's districts.



(click the map to access the source document: Where Syrian Refugees are Most Likely to Settle)

As noted before in post #4, the organizations that settle refugees in the U.S. look largely to settle them in places where the refugees have some sort of connection with other individuals there. That few to no Syrian refugees have a connection with S.F. residents is not surprising. After all, S.F. is not a large city, having under 1M residents.

If you think that is so, then directly make your case by showing the inapplicability of my remarks and of the weighting I've assigned to them in considering the matter. Merely asserting emptily that I'm mistaken, or worse by attacking me by calling me naive, is not going to do it.

To me they are overt racists.

 

[320 Years of History]

Is anyone surprised by this?

Nope. Pelosi represents some of the wealthiest people in the country.

Wealth has nothing to do with it. My own neighborhood in D.C., a small section of a larger one called the Embassy Row area, has lots of Islamic embassies, residences and even the Islamic Center, which is a mosque, all in the neighborhood. Heck, from time to time, there are protests and other social movement gatherings at the Islamic Center. Even the suspended-since-2014 Syrian Embassy is in my section of the city. And remember, this is D.C. I'm talking about. This stuff, the places, the people who visit them, even though one can technically think of it as being in different neighborhoods, all of it all within walking distance, anywhere from two or three minutes to 20 minutes walking distance. It's not like going from Summerlin to the club at Red Rock.

Edit:
I should be clear. I don't think wealth has anything to do with where folks are resettled other than that one can't very well expect to settle refugees into localities where there's no such thing as affordable housing. Indeed, one -- refugee or not -- can't expect to settle there at all if one can't afford to live there.

Red:
So you say, but I have yet to see any person who's made that claim produce credible empirical evidence of its veracity.

What you've provided is credible evidence of the remarks of a handful of individuals, remarks that are not consistent with the actions and advocated policy of the Democratic Party. But that is evidence of those individuals' sentiments, and the remarks that I've asked for credible empirical evidence of are the following two:

• "Ever realize how many closet racists are embedded in the Democratic Party." It's a simple question: how many are there. We know the Democratic party consists of some ~30M-40M individuals. The member made the statement, so I'm asking what are the numbers that give merit to the statement. Absent some numbers, more than handful you've provided, it's just an empty statement.
• "The Democratic Party is overflowing with racists." There again, it's the same thing. What are the numbers that give teeth to the "overflowing" quantity/proportion of racists in the Democratic Party?

Moreover, not one of the persons you cited is the current banner carrier for the Democratic Party, which, happens, in addition, to have been the party to nominate and get elected the nation's first minority President. It is also the party that has seen installed in more positions of political power since Reconstruction.
