the White House is moving forward with plans to bring 10,000 Syrian refugees to the United States within the next two years. --- Jewish Groups Demand U.S. Take In More “Refugees”
Two weeks ago, *The Times of Israel <http://www.timesofisrael.com/with-world-watching-refugees-jewish-coalition-sees-chance-to-boost-aid/>* reported that an international network of Jewish charities and relief organizations were preparing a public relations and lobbying campaign designed to increase political and financial support for their operations in resettling Third World “refugees” into the United States. These Jewish charities are planning to cash in on the on-going “refugee crisis” by receiving government grants and assistance, as well as donations from the public, for their ostensible “humanitarian” efforts aimed at helping “refugees” flee their home countries and resettle in the West. Astute observers of the machinations of the organized international Jewish community recognize this strategy to resettle millions of Arabs and Africans in the West as yet another example of the Jewish war on Western civilization. The Jewish state of Israel most certainly is not taking in Arab, African, and other non-White, non-Jewish “refugees,” and neither are any of the other Middle Eastern states in the region. These “refugees,” we are told, must be resettled in the West and given unlimited aid, welfare, and assistance at the expense of the American and European taxpayer. The Obama administration has already signaled that it hopes to resettle tens of thousands of “refugees” in America in the coming years, despite public opposition to the flooding of America with hostile non-White invaders (which is exactly what these “refugees” really are). But that isn’t enough for the organized Jewish community, as*The Times of Israel <http://www.timesofisrael.com/jewish-groups-rap-washington-for-lowballing-syrian-refugees/>* informs us today: <http://therealistreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Screenshot-9.png> Two US Jewish organizations said the US offer to absorb at least 10,000 Syrian refugees over the next year was *inadequate*. “Increasing the total number of refugees from 70,000 to 85,000 for next year and to 100,000 for the year after is a nice symbolic gesture,” Mark Hetfield, the president of HIAS, a Jewish group that assists in refugee resettlement and advocates for immigration reform, said Sunday in a statement. “It is a baby step in the right direction. *But it is not leadership*.” The Reform movement also said in a statement Monday that Secretary of State John Kerry’s proposed numbers did not meet the mark. *“The new admission numbers remain insufficient considering the scope of the crisis at hand,”* said Rabbi Jonah Pesner, the director of the Reform’s Religious Action Center. Kerry, meeting Sunday in Berlin with his German counterpart, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, announced the increases in the maximum number of refugees that the United States allows in and said “at least” 10,000 of them would be Syrian. *HIAS has joined a number of former Obama administration officials in calling on the United States to accept 100,000 Syrian refugees above the refugee ceiling.* “If Germany can open its doors to 800,000 asylum seekers, the US, with a population four times the size of Germany and a history as a nation of immigrants and refugees, we can take 100,000 Syrian refugees in 2016, on top of the 70,000 refugees fleeing other countries during this global refugee crisis, the largest since the World War II,” Hetfield said. Kerry in his news conference said that vetting the Syrians for terrorists limited the number the United States could take in. “We want to take more,” he said. “We understand the responsibility. We would like to. But taking folks out of Syria for us at least, given our law right now post-9/11, requires a very specific vetting security process.” *The American Jewish Committee separately announced that it was providing funds and staff to assist KIS, the Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece, and IsraAID, an umbrella group for Israeli aid groups, which are ministering to Syrian refugees in Greece.* The organized Jewish community and their traitorous, #cuckservative political hacks are literally destroying Europe and America by flooding our lands with millions of people who have no business being in the West. And the Jews are openly working over time to facilitate and benefit off of the invasion. Fortunately, more and more people are catching on to their genocidal scam of “diversity,” “multiculturalism,” and their ridiculous idea that America and Europe are “proposition nations” where anyone from anywhere in the world can migrate to and suddenly become an “American” or “German” or “Frenchman” while Israel remains an exclusively ethnic Jewish state for the Jewish people. The hypocrisy is so outrageous and infuriating, and will no longer be tolerated. A plan to resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees in the United States has come under intense scrutiny since a Syrian passport was found near one of the assailants in the Paris terror attacks. The discovery has heightened fears that Islamic State group terrorists could exploit refugee routes and resettlement programs to position themselves for additional attacks. On Thursday, the House passed a bill that would impose additional security measures on refugees from Syria and Iraq. The measure would require the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to certify that each refugee to be resettled in the U.S. is no threat to national security. House Republicans were joined by almost 50 Democrats in support of the bill, which Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said “increases the standards to keep those who want to do us harm out.” [image: In this Nov. 4, 2015, file photo, people wait in line to enter the migrant and refugee registration camp in Moria, on the island of Lesbos, Greece. Some Republicans are pushing back against aggressive opposition in their party to Syrian refugees resettling in the U.S., fresh evidence of a rift within the GOP that threatens to complicate the party’s outreach to minorities heading into the 2016 presidential contest.] RELATED Here's Where Syrian Refugees Were Sent in Your State <http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/data-mine/2015/11/20/heres-where-syrian-refugees-were-sent-in-your-state> President Barack Obama said he would veto the bill. He has defended the U.S. resettlement program, which was established in the 1970s and found homes for over 3 million people fleeing war or persecution. and said turning away people forced to flee their own country violates American values. Here's a closer look at how the U.S. refugee resettlement program works: *Refugees are subject to Department of Homeland Security background checks before arriving in the U.S.* Refugees are subject to the strictest form of security screening of any class of traveler to the U.S. before they are allowed to enter, with extensive background, security and health checks. The resettlement process is run by the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Health and Human Services. DHS receives refugee referrals from the U.N. refugee agency, UNHCR, and then begins vetting candidates for resettlement. Specially trained DHS employees travel to the country where a candidate is residing to conduct in-depth interviews to ensure the individual meets the criteria as a refugee and does not pose a security risk to the U.S. The U.S. then investigates and verifies the claims made by an applicant for asylum. Unlike in Europe, Syrian refugees are not arriving via boat or land to the U.S., nor can they fly into the country without being approved for refugee status. That process frequently takes 18 months or more, meaning refugees are arriving in the U.S. at a very slow pace compared to the numbers by which they are arriving in Europe. "We should trust the system that we've built. Europe, they're having just random migration coming in, versus us, we have planned migration coming in," says Suzanne Akhras Sahloul of the Syrian Community Network in Chicago. "Our system is much better and the way things are set up are organized and they come through an agency and the agencies keep track of them." *Refugees are processed in conjunction with nine nonprofits, not solely by the government.* Nine national resettlement agencies process cases of refugees that have passed all the appropriate security checks. Those agencies include: Church World Service, Ethiopian Community Development Council, Episcopal Migration Ministries, the Hebrew Immigration Aid Society, International Rescue Committee, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops/Migration and Refugee Services, and World Relief. Six of these organizations are faith-based. 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. [image: Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., talks with Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., upon arriving for a vote in the Capitol on Nov. 19, 2015.] RELATED Ignoring Obama, House Votes to Block Syrian Refugees <http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/11/19/ignoring-obama-veto-threat-house-votes-to-block-syrian-refugees-from-us> *Refugees are sent all over the U.S.* 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." Other factors that could impact where someone is sent include ensuring the person has easy access to appropriate medical care for any health conditions; language abilities and available job prospects. Refugees are sent to nearly every state and to different communities across the country. Syrian refugees have been sent to 138 cities in 36 states since the country's civil war began in 2011. Nationality of origin is not a factor in determining where people are placed. *Refugees must pay back the cost of their flight to the U.S.* After one of the nonprofit resettlement agencies receives the case of a particular individual or family, the International Organization for Migration coordinates their travel to the U.S. city where they will be resettled. The plane ticket is paid for at that time, but after they arrive and begin working, the refugees must pay back the cost of the ticket. *Refugees don't get long-term subsidized housing. * Each refugee receives a stipend of about $1,000 to cover their first three months in the U.S. Before an individual or family arrives, the local resettlement organizations work to find a suitable apartment. They ensure the rent will be affordable and are in charge of distributing the stipend to cover the costs of rent for three months. They are not placed in special apartment blocks and do not receive special rates. "[The housing] is on the open market. We're trying to rent apartments just like anybody else," says Stacie Blake of the U.S. Committee for Refugee and Immigrants. "There's nothing special or privileged about that." After three months, refugees are responsible for paying rent as normal tenants in their apartment buildings and are also free to move elsewhere within the city or state or to another state altogether. *Refugees have to apply for jobs. * Resettlement agencies also aid refugees in applying for jobs. Syria was a lower middle-income country before the war, and many refugees are educated and trained. But that doesn't mean they can pick up where they left off.

You can't just come be a doctor here, you have to start over to get your credentials," Blake says. "So now they can't be a doctor, so now what will they do?" Refugees frequently find work in low-skilled jobs, like hotel services and manufacturing. They interview and go through a job-application process just as anyone else would. *The government doesn't track refugees after they arrive. * Once arriving in the U.S., refugees are allowed to move anywhere in the country, just like any other legal resident. If a refugee does choose to relocate, a local organization works to transfer the case to another resettlement agency in the new location, but that is not always possible. "We do not track refugees," the State Department spokesperson says. "Once a refugee arrives they can move wherever they want." Refugees sometimes chose to move to where they have a community of people from their country or that speak the same language. This can create cities where many refugees from one country live, like the large Somali community in Minneapolis. Some argue that the government should know where refugees, some of whom have been through extensive trauma, are living. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a Republican, ordered state police to track Syrian refugees currently residing in his state. "I issued an executive order telling my agencies to do everything we can," Jindal said. "We don’t want these refugees in our state. I’ve ordered the state police to track the ones that are already in Louisiana.” *Christian resettlement organizations help refugees of all faiths.* Five of the nine resettlement agencies are Christian and one is Jewish, but all serve refugees of all nationalities and faiths. "Last year at the national level – and I think this would be true for the refugees we served roughly – the plurality of refugees who came in were Christians of some sort, about 45 percent, but about 40 percent Muslims," says Matthew Soerens of World Relief, one of the nine resettlement agencies. "We serve them all without distinction. As Christians, it's a unique honor to help persecuted Christians as well and it's an important part of the program. But we're Christians who believe in loving our neighbors."
