Taxpayers Bear the Burden As Refugee Resettlement Soars

More White American displacement via government complicity. Now what?

This fiscal year, the U.S. resettled almost three times as manyrefugees as all the rest of the countries in the industrialized worldcombined.

Despite the recession, growing poverty, unemployment andhomelessness, the U.S. resettled 75,000 refugees, the highest number ofadmissions since 9/11.

This is possible only because what was once the calling of truesacrificial charity and private sponsors is now the responsibility ofthe American taxpayer. Traditional sponsor duties have been replaced byaccess to welfare upon arrival for refugees and an opaque stream ofgrant money from seemingly every government agency except NASA.

In recent years up to 95 percent of the refugees coming to the U.S.were referred by the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) orwere the relatives of U.N.-picked refugees. Until the late 1990s, theU.S. picked the large majority of refugees for resettlement in the U.S.

Considering that the refugee influx causes increases in all legaland illegal immigration as family and social networks are establishedin the U.S., the U.N. is effectively dictating much of U.S. immigrationpolicy.

A nonprofit nation of hundreds of taxpayer-funded organizations hasgrown up around refugee resettlement in the U.S. A government-fundedstudy finds “U.S. resettlement communities are awash with ECBOs thatexist in name only but provide little meaningful assistance.” ECBOstands for Ethnic Community Based Organization, a government-definedcategory of grant recipients.

The expansion of the fraud-prone refugee program and thetransformation of refugee resettlement into a federal contractingbusiness have given birth to a global refugee industry well-adapted tothe federal grant and contract environment.

Catholic Charities with its parent the U.S. Conference of CatholicBishops (USCCB ) is the largest refugee agency both nationally and inNashville. It is neither a charity nor Catholic, but more an extensionof a state welfare agency.
