Diverse Newcomers Learn Basics of Life in Minnesota from Expanding Nonprofit

Sunday’s front page of the StarTribune newspaper published from Minneapolis/St. Paul included a story about “new Americans” being taught how to navigate Minnesota’s culture as well as the cold and snow — so different from Rwanda and Burundi!

The accompanying photo showed newcomers learning the fine points of shoveling snow at an eight-week class presented […]

North Dakota Refugees Feel Unwelcomed by President Trump

Saturday’s Los Angeles Times had a major sob story claiming President Donald Trump has somehow made North Dakota unfriendly to the refugees already residing there.

In fact, the only thing that has changed is that Trump increased freedom for local communities to opt out of refugee resettlement if they wish.

The change shows the […]

Republican Governors Request Additional Refugees!

There are billions of people on earth who would benefit economically by relocating to the United States, so many are happy to claim victimhood as a refugee or asylum seeker to wangle a way in.

But just being a poor human on earth is not enough to qualify for asylum in the US. In fact, […]

Obama’s Afghan Refugee Story Is Recounted in Capitol City Newspaper

Here’s a refugee rescue story on Sunday’s Washington Post front page. Predictably, the Post believes that any diverse person claiming to be a Victim should be welcomed to the United States rather than encouraged to fight for justice at home.

Below, the newsprint headline for the photo below is ‘Becoming Americans,’ after a 15,000-mile journey.

Trump Administration Weighs Refugee Reduction

Saturday’s New York Times front-paged a story about the Trump administration considering a decrease in the number of refugees admitted, with the newspaper headline reading U.S. Discusses a Plan Barring Most Refugees.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai appeared on CBS News recently to discuss her new book “We Are Displaced: My Journey and Stories from Refugee Girls Around the World.”

ISIS Hit Man Entered US as Refugee

As reported in the video following, “Not only was 45-year-old Omar Ameen a hit man for ISIS and al Qaeda, he was also a founding member of al Qaeda in Iraq and a high-ranking ISIS terrorist.”

Yet he was accepted as a refugee by the Obama administration in 2014 and brought to this country where […]

Refugees in Pricey California Struggle to Make the Rent

Life is harder for unskilled refugees who are resettled by do-gooders with no sense about the cost of living. One telling example is the struggle of Afghan families who have been placed in California’s ultra expensive Bay Area. That situation was reflected in a front-page sob story in the San Jose Mercury News on Monday:

[…]

Trump Considers Cutting Refugees by More Than Half

It may be that President Trump wants to look tough on immigration, given his big hints about supporting a DACA amnesty in a few months. So a New York Times front page story about decreased refugees may indicate a strategy to that end.

Refugees add up. Pew Research noted earlier this year that around three […]

Britain: Needy Refugee Child Turns Out to Be Hostile Adult Jihadi

Apparently the liberal urge to civilization suicide via immigration remains strong in Britain. A recent kerfuffle has been over the “children” who are being shipped from the Calais “refugee” camp who are obviously adult men.

There is a computer program that estimates age from appearance, and many of the kiddies are determined to be adults. […]

Economically Battered Youngstown Is Planned as a Location for Refugees

Refugee Resettlement Watch noted another batch of targets a couple days ago including one unlucky city: New refugee seeding site: Youngstown, Ohio. That community is particularly unsuitable to be burdened by needy and/or hostile foreigners: it was plunged into a local depression by the closing of the major steel mill in 1977 and never recovered.
