White House Spending Other People's Money Society, Gives About $20,000 of Taxpayer Money to Each Asylum Seeker and Refugee




[From article]
Federal taxpayers are on the hook for nearly $20,000 just to settle each refugee and asylum seeker, who are then immediately eligible for cash welfare, food stamps, housing and medical aid, according to anew report on the "refugee industry."
The report provided federal budget figures showing that the government spends $19,884 on each refugee the U.S. takes in.
[. . .]



The report from the Negative Population Growth Inc. said that the U.S. is currently accepting about 95,000 refugees and asylees. That is in addition to the over 500,000 legal and illegal immigrants coming to the U.S.
It focused on the industry created to accept the $1.8 billion in federal support to help refugees settle and sign up for further cash awards from Uncle Sam. The refugee agencies get a small portion, or about $1,875 per refugee they help. The rest goes to the United Nations, which helps to determine eligible refugees, and state agencies.
The State Department spends about $1.28 billion, and Health and Human Services another $609 million.



From the report:
Two federal agencies sustain the refugee industry:
The Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM), in the State Department, supports a major share of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees' budget. In FY2014 this support came to $1.28 billion, making the U.S. by far the largest donor to the UNHCR. Some of this money is supposedly used to expand the capacity of countries outside the U.S. to absorb refugees – potentially reducing the share of refugees coming to the U.S. Despite this, more refugees come to the U.S. than to the rest of the world combined: 67% of UNHCR-referred refugees settled in the U.S. in 2014.
[. . .]
Once settled, the refugees are eligible for further federal support and most take it, said the report.
— 47 percent of refugee households received cash assistance.
— 74 percent of refugees were on food stamps.
— 56 percent are on Medicaid.— 22 percent receiving housing assistance.

Hungary's Prime MInster Speaks About Migrant Abuses



Hungary's Prime Minster Viktor Orban

[From article]
Here are some key points, which [Prime Minster Viktor Orban, leader of Hungary’s national conservative ruling party Fidesz] has made before, from a report by Alex Newman in The New American of 25 March 2016:
The refugee crisis is a gigantic lie. Most of the arrivals are not actual refugees, and humanitarianism is not the agenda of the globalist conspirators aiding them.
The engineered crisis is a tool of forces plotting to destroy Western civilization while undermining Christianity and nation-states.
Millions of third-world people are preparing to start heading for Europe. Action to stop the invasion is crucial as well as urgent.
Everything Europe represents would be fundamentally transformed once tens of millions of Muslims have settled on the continent.
These people bring with them crime and terror and are creating a separate world with its own laws and ideals, tearing apart the centuries-old structure of Europe.
Brussels (European Union Headquarters) seeks to transport and settle foreigners in order to reshape the religious and cultural landscape of Europe and to re-engineer its ethnic foundations.
Brussels wants to eliminate the last barrier to internationalism: nation-states. Faceless bureaucrats are working to crush nationhood and national sovereignty on the road to what they call the New World Order.
Globalists intend to eliminate everything that is unique, autonomous, age-old, and national. They aim to forcibly blend cultures, religions, and populations until old, proud Europe becomes docile.
Brussels is stealthily devouring more and more slices of national sovereignty and is making a plan for a United States of Europe.
If Hungarians resign themselves to this outcome, they will be swallowed up in the enormous belly of the United States of Europe.
Hungarians will not allow anyone to tell them whom to let into their country, whom they will live alongside, and with whom they will share their country.
There will be no urban areas in Hungary beyond the reach of the law – so-called “no-go zones.” There will be no mass disorder or immigrant riots. There will be no gangs hunting down Hungarian women and daughters.
The task for Hungarians and other Europeans who have not yet lost all common sense is to work to undo the fate intended for them by globalist tyranny.
The open-borders crowd running the Democratic Party has a great deal in common with the Brussels globalists. They are soul mates. Both believe that power can be effectively wielded if and only if it is centralized in the hands of a tightly knit elite marching in lockstep, acting on its own regardless of the will of the electorate.
The GOP would do well to highlight this comparison once the dust settles and a candidate has been picked to run against Hillary Clinton – assuming she isn’t indicted. A Trump White House would certainly invite Mr. Orban back, this time for consultations on how to fight an enemy threatening Europe as well as the United States.

United States Is A Role Model, Not Refugee Camp







[From article]
Why is this so hard for politicians to see today? The endless critiques of the imperfections of America swamp all discussion of the unique virtue of America. Contempt for America infects political rhetoric and allows absurd lies to parade as solemn truth.
Consider Bernie Sanders groaning on about the racist origins of America, oblivious of or indifferent to the fact that when our nation was founded, Jews, like Sanders, rightly saw America as their greatest protector and champion in the world, as well as a home. Consider the dreary leftist cant about the "legacy of slavery," oblivious of or indifferent to the fact that blacks in America have repeatedly and from the earliest days of our nation chosen emphatically to stay in America and not to migrate back to Africa
[. . .]
their true hope is making their own homelands places of liberty, safety, and promise. Providing that model, not providing the refugee camps, is America's global purpose.

Holland Questions Accepting Middle East Refugees

[From article]
Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders called the wave of refugees pushing into Europe an "Islamic invasion", during a parliamentary debate on Thursday that exposed deep divisions over how the Netherlands should respond to the crisis.
[. . .]
Wilders, who is outside the government but whose party is the most popular in opinion polls, called the wave of refugees arriving on the EU's Mediterranean shores and traveling north "an Islamic invasion".
"Masses of young men in their twenties with beards singing Allahu Akbar across Europe. It's an invasion that threatens our prosperity, our security, our culture and identity," he said.
[. . .]
The idea that such conditions could be created for millions of refugees in Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey was dismissed by Alexander Pechtold, a member of centrist opposition party Democrats 66, as "an illusion".
Rutte's fragile coalition government nearly split in April over asylum policy. The government plans to toughen its stance by cutting off food and shelter after a few weeks for those whose claims for refugee status are turned down.
Roughly 54 percent of Dutch voters are opposed to letting into the country more than the roughly 2,000 refugees previously agreed, a poll showed last week. Under the latest proposals that figure is seen rising to more than 9,000.

Europe and The Middle East Refugees




[From article]
(It is regrettable to have to say “regrettably” when talking about this, but Muslims pose a unique threat to free people everywhere.)
[. . .]
Breitbart reports:
“…amidst cries for Europe to do more, it has transpired that of the five wealthiest countries on the Arabian Peninsula, that is, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain, not one has taken in a single refugee from Syria. Instead, they have argued that accepting large numbers of Syrians is a threat to their safety, as terrorists could be hiding within an influx of people….”
[. . .]
But there is likely another factor at play, which is hijrah, the Islamic doctrine of immigration whereby societies are overwhelmed with Muslims such that Muslims become the dominant force.
[. . .]
As Robert Spencer writes in Front Page Magazine:
[. . .]



This will transform Germany, and Europe, forever, overtaxing the welfare economies of its wealthiest nations and altering the cultural landscape beyond recognition….
[. . .]
why is it incumbent upon Europe have to absorb all these refugees? Why not Saudi Arabia or the other Muslim countries that are oil-rich and have plenty of space? The answer is unspoken because non-Muslim authorities refuse to believe it and Muslims don’t want it stated or known: these refugees have to go to Europe because this is a hijrah.
[. . .]
Daniel Greenfield, who, also writing for Front Page Magazine, describes the heart of the problem in a brilliant piece
[. . .]
This is an Islamic war fought to determine which branch of Islam will be supreme. It is not a war that started last week or last year, but 1,400 years ago.
We can’t make it go away by overthrowing Assad or supporting him, by giving out candy or taking in refugees. This conflict is in the cultural DNA of Islam. It is not going anywhere.
[. . .]



the two Muslim sects whose militias are murdering each other are not victims, they are perpetrators. Just because Sunnis are running from a Shiite militia or Shiites from a Sunni militia right now doesn’t make them victims.
[. . .]
The refugees aren’t fleeing a dictator. They’re fleeing each other while carrying the hateful ideologies that caused this bloodshed with them.
We aren’t taking in people fleeing the civil war. We’re taking in their civil war and giving it a good home.
And then there is the matter of so much hysteria over Syrian refugees when Christians persecuted in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East have been refused entry to the United States. Where has been our outrage and where has been the world’s commitment to make sure they are given safe haven in the West?
[. . .]
it’s also about the unique threats posed by Muslim immigrants – a threat no candidate appears willing to address.
[. . .]
We must close our borders to Syrians and all Muslims who want to live in the United States. There’s no room at the inn. We’re all filled up with mega mosques and Muslim schools that teach hate; with Muslim Brotherhood front groups, lawfare, and creeping Sharia. With beheadings and honor killings. And prison converts. And terror training camps. And deadly acts of jihad.

Anti Israel Activitists Deny They Are Anti Semitic. Some of Their Best Friends Are Jewish




[From article]
The BDS movement — named for its call for boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israel — began as an idea by 170 Palestinian civil society groups worldwide in 2005. It has grown into a worldwide network of thousands of volunteers lobbying corporations, artists and academic institutions to sever ties with Israel.
[. . .]
Its members include campus activists, church groups and even liberal American Jews disillusioned by Israeli policies.
Most worrying for Israel, some of the group's core positions toward products made in West Bank settlements are starting to be embraced by European governments. Although the EU says it opposes boycotts of Israel, it is exploring guidelines for labeling settlement products, which many in Israel fear could be a precursor to a full-fledged ban.[. . .]
The BDS movement has three goals: to end Israel's occupation of territories captured in the 1967 Mideast war, to end discrimination suffered by Arab citizens of Israel, and to promote the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to family properties lost in the war surrounding Israel's creation in 1948.
For Israel, this last position is nothing less than a call for its destruction. Israel opposes the Palestinian "right of return," saying a massive influx of refugees would mean the end of the country as a Jewish state. The international community favors a "two-state solution" creating a Palestinian state alongside Israel, and even Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has indicated willingness to compromise on the refugee issue under a final peace deal.
[. . .]



Israeli leaders consider the movement to be the latest in a history of antagonists out to destroy the Jewish people.
"We are in the midst of a great struggle being waged against the state of Israel, an international campaign to blacken its name," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said recently. "It is not connected to our actions. It is connected to our very existence."
[. . .]
Battles have taken place in U.S. food co-ops and city councils. The movement has helped organize several boycotts by U.S. and British academic unions and has made inroads on American campuses. Roughly a dozen student governments have approved divestment proposals.
[. . .]
The idea of boycotts is extremely sensitive in Israel. The Nazis launched a nationwide boycott of Jewish businesses and artists — often accompanied by acts of violence and anti-Semitic slogans — in the 1930s Germany ahead of the Holocaust. In the 1970s and 1980s, Arab countries pressured companies doing business with them to shun Israel. Currently, Israel is fending off attempts by the boycotters to compare Israeli policies in the West Bank to South African apartheid.
"The attacks on the Jews were always preceded by the slander of the Jews," Netanyahu recently said.
[. . .]



BDS activists deny being fueled by anti-Semitism, saying their battle is against Israel, not Jews.
[Israel is a Jewish state created as a refuge for Jews from thousands of years of anti semitism, and especially after the Holocaust. Opposing a sanctuary for Jews is anti semitic.]
[. . .]
"It's not about destroying Israel," [Naomi Dann] said. "But full equal rights and a democratic society are more important than preserving the Jewish character of the state."
[There it is these people oppose the existence of Israel.]

After Ghadaffi, (Thank You, Obama) Africans and Middle East Refugees Flood Europe




[From article]
Two horrible tragedies in or at least near Libya: Up to 800 migrants trying to reach Europe from Africa die after their boat sinks off the coast, and 30 migrants are murdered by the so-called Islamic State on the shore in the troubled country.
Libya's chaos has once more made it a major way station for Africans seeking a better life, as the European Union grapples with the morality of cutting back on patrols to rescue migrants. The argument for doing less is that increasing the risk of crossing the Mediterranean would save lives. Word that there was no safety net would filter back to people, many of them fleeing persecution, and they'd stop coming.
[. . .]
The Eritreans are fleeing a brutal regime which dragoons young men into military conscription and maintains a semi-permanent war footing with neighboring Ethiopia. Syrians and Iraqis are fleeing the war and atrocities committed by the self-described Islamic State, Palestinians the open prison that is Gaza, and West Africans the crushing poverty that has framed many of their lives ... The vast majority of refugees make for Libya, where a power vacuum since the 2011 fall of dictator Muammar Qaddafi has enabled gangs of human traffickers to flourish ...
[. . .]
Mr. Qaddafi was well aware of European alarm at the rising tide of migrants in his final years in power. He used it as a powerful wedge to improve his own standing. Back to 2004, Qaddafi began making deals with individual European states to control the tide of migrants. In August 2010, he visited his friend Silvio Berlusconi, then president of Italy, in Rome and said Europe would turn "black" without his help.
"Tomorrow Europe might no longer be European, and even black, as there are millions who want to come in," Qaddafi said. "What will be the reaction of the white and Christian Europeans faced with this influx of starving and ignorant Africans ... we don't know if Europe will remain an advanced and united continent or if it will be destroyed, as happened with the barbarian invasions."
Qaddafi had a handy solution. He offered to shut down his country and its coastal waters to the job seekers in exchange for €5 billion a year.

Refugees Heavily Dependent on Taxpayer Funded Assistance




[From article]
Refugees from Africa and the Middle East were the heaviest users of cash assistance at 61.9 percent and 68.3 percent respectively. Latin American refugees only used cash assistance at a rate of 8.1 percent and South Asia used about 42.7 percent. Data for Europe and the former Soviet Union was not available.
The use of food stamps — or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) — also varied with 88.9 percent of refugees from Africa, 91.4 percent of Middle Eastern refugees, the Middle East, 72.9 percent of South Asia, and 36.7 percent of Latin American refugees using the benefit.
Overall, according to the report just 50 percent of refugee households in the five year window were self-sufficient.

Nazi Refuge Found in Argentina Jungle




[From article]
A team of Argentine archaeologists investigating a series of ruins in the jungle, close to the border with Paraguay, believe they have discovered a secret Nazi lair.
The cluster of stone structures, now covered by thick vines and accessible only when using a machete to cut through the undergrowth, contain stashes of German coins from the late 1930s, fragments of "Made in Germany" porcelain, and Nazi symbols on the walls.
[. . .]
Instead, the buildings were planned as a refuge for the leaders of the Third Reich, commissioned in case they needed to flee Germany.
[. . .]
"Apparently, halfway through the Second World War, the Nazis had a secret project of building shelters for top leaders in the event of defeat – inaccessible sites, in the middle of deserts, in the mountains, on a cliff or in the middle of the jungle like this," Mr Schavelzon told Argentine newspaper Clarin. He said that his findings were not yet definite, but he was convinced of their veracity.
"This site also has the bonus of allowing the inhabitants to be in Paraguay in less than 10 minutes. It's a protected, defendable site where they could live quietly."
Ultimately, though, the hideout wasn't needed, because after the fall of the Nazi regime their leaders were welcomed to Argentina and allowed to live openly.
Thousands of Nazis, Croatian Ustasha fascists and Italian fascists arrived with the blessing of president Juan Peron, who led the nation from 1946 to 1955 and again briefly in the 1970s. An estimated 5,000 Nazis eventually ended up in Argentina.
In 1960, Nazi Adolf Eichmann, who helped organise the Holocaust, was captured in Buenos Aires by an Israeli commando team and tried in Israel where he was executed. Josef Mengele, whose grotesque experiments on prisoners at Auschwitz earned him the title "Angel of Death", also fled to Argentina.

EU Suggests Establishing Asylum Camps In Origin Countries




[From article]
European Union foreign ministers will on Monday consider helping set up camps in the Middle East and Africa where people can request asylum on site without having to risk their lives crossing the Mediterranean to reach Europe, officials said.
At least 3,500 people, many of them fleeing poverty and fighting, died trying to make the journey in 2014, according to the United Nations. Data suggest the number trying to reach the most common destination, Italy, is rising sharply.
The Italian coast guard said on Friday it had coordinated the rescue of 153 migrants who were being taken to Sicily aboard a Danish merchant ship after their rafts ran into trouble around 30 miles from the coast of Libya.
[. . .]
"This would deprive human traffickers of an important share of their market."
[. . .]
Tunisia, Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon are indicated in the letter as the first countries that the EU assistance should focus on.

Somalian Women Refugees Raped BY African Union Troops



[From article]
Women and young girls living in refugee camps in Somalia after fleeing violence at home were raped by African Union troops, a human rights group says.
The female refugees were seeking medical aid and water from the African Union bases in the capital Mogadishu when they were attacked, members of Human Rights Watch told the BBC.
The troops "misused" their power over the women. One Muslim girl, 15, went to an AU base of Burundian soldiers to collect medicine for her sick mother when she was assaulted.
[. . .]
The group interviewed 21 women and girls-- some as young as 12-- who described sexual exploitation and rape by Ugandan or Burundian soldiers in the AU force, HRW said.

Iranian Refugees Abandoned by US in Iraq

[From article]
"Some 3,400 innocent Iranian dissidents now living in a camp in Iraq are in imminent danger of being slaughtered.
[. . .]
Despite charges that the MEK is a terrorist organization, these people are American allies. It would be foolish, as well as wrong, to abandon them.
[. . .]
elements of the Iraqi army used US-supplied vehicles and equipment to raid the camp, killing 34 defenseless people and wounding nearly 350.
[. . .]
This is like putting the Mafia in charge of the FBI Witness Protection Program."
