Refuting, once again, the big lie about 18-24 months of vetting! <https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2017/03/17/refuting-once-again-the-big-lie-about-18-24-months-of-vetting/> by Ann Corcoran <https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/author/acorcoran/> I feel like every day I have to swat the same flies! It is maddening. Yesterday it was the c*** once again about the* 110,000 PROPOSED refugee admissions* <https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2017/03/16/hawaii-judge-places-restraining-order-on-trump-eo-involving-refugee-pause/> ceiling for FY2017. [image: https://refugeeresettlementwatch.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/jennifer-metzger.jpg?w=254] City councilwoman Jennifer Metzger does NOT have the facts! https://www.facebook.com/electjenmetzger And, today I see that the big lie---that refugees are vetted for 18-24 months---is being perpetuated by ignorant town leaders! *It might take that long for the bureaucracy to move papers around, but refugees are not security-screened for 2 years.* IN FACT, in April 2016, the Obama State Department, desperate to get its promised 10,000 Syrians placed across America, *REDUCED THE PROCESS TO 3 MONTHS! **He sent a team of interviewers to places like Jordan to push their papers through faster.* What got my attention this morning was a short news story from Rosendale, NY where the Town Board voted to declare their support for refugees so that they could *educate* the public---what with a big fat lie! Here is the *Daily Freeman* <http://www.dailyfreeman.com/general-news/20170315/refugees-welcome-here-rosendale-says> : ROSENDALE, N.Y. >> The Town Board members has declared its support of having refugees resettled in Rosendale and is asking the federal government to continue participating in a program that provides safety to people fleeing armed conflicts and human rights abuses. *A resolution adopted by the board at its most recent meeting was “partly motivated by the need to get the facts out there about the refugee crisis and the U.S. resettlement process,” Councilwoman Jennifer Metzger said.* *The resolution notes, among other things, that** every refugee seeking to enter the United States undergoes a vetting process that takes 18 to 24 months to complete.* *NO! Not "every" refugee is vetted for 18-24 months!* [image: https://refugeeresettlementwatch.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/gina-kassem.jpg?w=300] Gina Kassem oversees the State Department’s refugee resettlement program in North Africa and the Middle East admits the process was shortened to THREE months. *Here at AP* <http://bigstory.ap.org/article/7541e848938d43f0b2051cc215426b3a/first-syrians-leave-us-under-surge-resettlement-program>in April of last year, we learned that Obama accelerated the time required to process in refugees from Syria. *Obama REDUCED THE 'VETTING' TO THREE MONTHS!* *Associated Press (emphasis is mine):* Gina Kassem, the regional refugee coordinator at the U.S. Embassy in Amman, said that while the target of 10,000 applies to Syrian refugees living around the world, most will be resettled from Jordan. *"The 10,000 (figure) is a floor and not a ceiling, and it is possible to increase the number," Kassem told reporters*. *While the resettlement process usually takes 18 to 24 months, the surge operation will reduce the time to three months, Kassem said.* *Continue here* <http://bigstory.ap.org/article/7541e848938d43f0b2051cc215426b3a/first-syrians-leave-us-under-surge-resettlement-program> for more of the *AP story*. My report on it is *here* <https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2016/04/06/announcement-from-us-embassy-in-jordan-syrian-refugee-surge-to-america-is-now-underway/> . What the Trump Administration says they want to do during their proposed 'pause' in resettlement is review the 'vetting' process to make sure it is the strongest security screening possible. The* refugee contractors*** *behind efforts like this propaganda campaign in Rosendale, NY, never mention that the *FBI Director Comey* <https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2015/10/10/fbi-director-confirms-again-that-they-cant-thoroughly-screen-syrians-entering-the-us/> has repeatedly said, refugees from Syria (a failed state) cannot be thoroughly screened because there are no records on them or even any way to verify who they are! (Same applies to Somalis! Rohingya! Others wandering around the globe!) ***Federal refugee resettlement contractors which are paid by the head to place refugees in most US states: · Church World Service (CWS) <http://www.churchworldservice.org/> · Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC) <http://www.ecdcinternational.org/> (secular) · Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM) <http://www.ecusa.anglican.org/emm/> · Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) <http://www.hias.org/> · International Rescue Committee (IRC) <http://www.theirc.org/> (secular) · US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) <http://www.refugees.org/> (secular) · Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services (LIRS) <http://www.lirs.org/> · United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) <http://www.usccb.org/> · World Relief Corporation (WR) <http://www.wr.org/> *Ann Corcoran <https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/author/acorcoran/>* | March 17, 2017 at 6:12 am | Tags: Syrian refugees <https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/?tag=syrian-refugees> | Categories: Changing the way we live <https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/?cat=1503981>, Colonization <https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/?cat=219100>, Community destabilization <https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/?cat=16118985>, Muslim refugees <https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/?cat=2837261>, Obama <https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/?cat=376320>, Refugee Resettlement Program <https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/?cat=1345991>, Trump <https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/?cat=467532> | URL: http://wp.me/p5sGi-Cu6 Comment <https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2017/03/17/refuting-once-again-the-big-lie-about-18-24-months-of-vetting/#respond> See all comments <https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2017/03/17/refuting-once-again-the-big-lie-about-18-24-months-of-vetting/#comments> *Trouble clicking?* Copy and paste this URL into your browser: https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2017/03/17/re futing-once-again-the-big-lie-about-18-24-months-of-vetting/ Thanks for flying with [image: https://s0.wp.com/i/emails/blavatar-default.png]WordPress.com <https://wordpress.com> [image: http://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?blog=1301894&post=147938&subd=refugeeresettlementwatch&ref=&email=1&email_o=wpcom&host=refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com] ------------------------------ [image: Avast logo] <https://www.avast.com/antivirus> This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/antivirus> __._,_.___ ------------------------------ Posted by: "Beowulf" <[email protected]> ------------------------------ Visit Your Group <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/grendelreport/info;_ylc=X3oDMTJma2Nxc2M0BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTk0ODA2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMyMzY2NwRzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzE0ODk3ODkwNzI-> [image: Yahoo!
