Oakland Is Burdened with Unemployable Refugees Having Expensive Health Problems

I heard on the radio this morning that Burmese refugee children residing in Oakland have elevated levels of lead in their blood. That would be extra-bad news, because “Just 10 micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood can permanently lower a child’s IQ by four to five points,” according to the San Francisco Chronicle, Jan [...]

Even Refugee Do-Gooders Get the Blues

The New York Times reports that a stalwart refugee welcomer, the mayor of Manchester NH, is getting tuckered out with the flood of newbies with the gimmes. After taking in more than 2100 Somali, Sudanese and other diverse refugees into the city (pop. 109,000) in the last decade, Mayor Ted Gatsas wants to call a [...]

Washington's Dysfunctional Refugee Policy Is Documented

Be sure to see Don Barnett’s Backgrounder on the unmelting pot Washington has created by importing refugees of extreme diversity.

Simmons certainly knows the problems associated with America’s refugee program, which has welcomed hostile and criminal [...]

Some Mexican Cartel Refugees Happily Remain in Mexico

The liberal press and others stuck on questionable victimhood have been eyeing a massive run for the border of Mexicans fleeing drug violence. In 2009 I commented about the Texas strategy for that possibility: Texas Government Plan For Massive Mexican Invasion: Immediate Surrender. Such a human flood would dwarf the disastrous Mariel Boatlift of 1980 [...]

Iraqi Refugees Pose a Terror Threat

I remember very well the Sixty Minutes segment of 2008 that shrieked about the cruelty of Americans for not welcoming many thousands of Iraqi refugees ASAP. What a fine opportunity for fifth-column agents, I thought at the time. Islamist guys must have signed up in droves to be helpful translators and office help to US [...]

Refugee Kiddies Get a Preview of American School… Plus a Little More

The article excerpted below shows the usual media sympathy for the cultural difficulties refugee kids face in adjusting to American schools. The subject is a sort of preview school set up in Brooklyn to help them with stress-free practice sessions (no loud sirens), called the Refugee Youth Summer Academy.

Naturally there is no mention of enormous [...]
