We're up to our eyeballs in debt. America's national debt is at least $14.38
trillion. The plain truth is that our country is broke.
As Christians, we are exhorted to "love our neighbors." But if we ourselves
are broke, should we take in our "neighbors" from across the world? But
that's exactly what the federal government has been doing, "resettling" tens
of thousands of mainly Muslim refugees, many from Africa's
Somalia<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somalia>,
into the United States in the past few years.
The refugee resettlement is a federal government policy decision. Alas, that
decision places great strains on local and state governments because it is
they who bear the costs when those refugees are "resettled" in their
communities.
Now, Paul L. Williams of the Last Crusade alerts us to Obama exacerbating
the problem with his plan to let in some 80,000 mainly Muslim refugees this
year<http://www.uncoverage.net/2010/10/obama-to-allow-80000-muslim-refugees-in-2011/>
.
In a determination letter to Congress, Obama announced that he will allow an
additional 80,000 immigrants – mostly from Islamic countries in the Near (or
Mid) East, South Asia, and Africa – to resettle in the United States during
fiscal year 2011. Those 80,000 refugee immigrants are from the following
places:
Africa . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15,000
East Asia . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19,000
Europe and Central Asia . . . . . . . . . . 2,000
Latin America/Caribbean. . . . . . . . . . . 5,500
Near East/South Asia. . . . . . . . . . . 35,500
Unallocated Reserve . . . . . . . . . . . . 3,000
Refugee Resettlement Watch
<http://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/>and other
organizations have expressed grave concern that Obama is allowing
so many immigrants into the country while so many Americans remain out of
work and living in poverty. Here are some grim statistics:
- According to the US Department of Labor, 14.8 million Americans remain
unemployed. 6.1 million have been out of work for 27 weeks or over.
- The U. S. Census Bureau shows that the median household income for
Americans has fallen to $49,777 – a decline of 0.7% in the past year.
- One in seven Americans depend on food
stamps.<http://newsofthenorth.net/article/Top_Stories/Regional_State_Top_Stories/Record_42_million_Americans_on_food_stamps_including_1_in_8_Wisconsinites/54597>
- According to The Wall Street Journal, 14.3% of the American people live
in abject poverty.
Obama says that the resettlement of refugees “is justified by humanitarian
concerns or is otherwise in the national interest.” A refugee is defined by
the US Department of Immigration and Naturalization as someone who has left
his/her country due to persecution or a fear of persecution. However, the
definition of refugee is ‘fudged’ in several cases. “Refugees” who have not
left their country due to persecution, according to Obama’s determination
letter, can still be called “refugees” if they are from Iraq, one of the
Islamic countries of the former Soviet Union, or Cuba.
According to Section 413 (a) of the Immigration and Nationalities Act, the
Office of Refugee Resettlement is required to submit an annual report to
Congress on the activities of the refugees. The report is supposed to
include the number who are on public welfare programs. But the Office of
Refugee Resettlement has not issued a report since 2007.
But the American people are not helpless in the face of Obama's "largesse"
on our collective behalf.
Act for America <http://www.actforamerica.org/>, a grassroots citizen action
network based in Pensacola, Florida, has been in the forefront on this
issue.
Tennessee has been particularly hard-hit by this avalanche of refugees. So
two dedicated ACT! for America members in Tennessee crafted a bill to
strengthen the state and local governments’ role in the refugee resettlement
process. The bill recently passed both houses of the Tennessee legislature
and was signed into law by Governor Bill Haslam (R).
Tennessee's new law gives local governments a much stronger voice in the
refugee resettlement process by requiring that local governments must be
consulted as to their ability to “absorb” refugees before commitments to
settle refugees can be made. “Absorb” refers to the ability of a local
community to handle the housing, education and other needs of incoming
refugees.
Thank our Founding Fathers for fashioning the new American Republic as a
federation, instead of a unitary state where the central or national
government holds all the power.
H/t beloved fellow Tina.
