Dalai Lama Says Refugees Should Go Home and Rebuild Their Own Countries

Interestingly, one of the world’s most respected spiritual leaders recently remarked that “Europe belongs to the Europeans” and should not become the permanent residence of various refugees looking for a home. He does believe that more fortunate nations should help people suffering from turmoil in their home countries and provide refuge, but only temporarily.

Lebanon Has Had Its Fill of Syrian Refugees

It’s interesting to see the New York Times sympathetic approach to Lebanese citizens who feel overwhelmed by the million-plus horde of Syrian refugees who have flooded their nation. The Lebanese are angry about downward pressure on wages, worsened crime, stressed infrastructure, and other problems caused by the foreigner invasion.

In comparison, the Times’ attitude toward […]

Syrian Sob Story Seeks Sympathy

It’s disappointing to see a normally decent reporter like William La Jeunesse doing refugee sob-story duty, but perhaps this is the new Fox regime getting dug in.

In the report, we see a Syrian family getting settled — they are some of the 12,500 Obama jammed in during this fiscal year with reduced screening.

The […]

Ann Corcoran Presents a Call to Action against Democrats’ Radical Refugee Program

The editor of the excellent RefugeeResettlementWatch blog sees a dangerous uptick in the administration’s refugee program, as shown by its welcome of 10,000 unscreenable Syrians to American communities in recent months. As the administration has emphasized, the first group of 10,000 Syrians is “a floor, not a ceiling,” meaning that more — lots more — […]

The Press Celebrates Obama’s 10,000-Refugee Target Being Reached

The White House is thrilled that it managed to speed-dump 10,000 Syrian refugees into America’s cities and towns, even though FBI Director Comey warned in Congressional testimony last fall that they could not be screened because the US government has “no record of them.”

For a media celebration of Obama’s goal being reached, the Associated […]

“Surged” Syrian Refugees Arrive in Missouri for Resettlement after Quickie Vetting

Wait, haven’t we been assured many times that Washington’s screening of refugees takes years so we needn’t worry that headchopper Muslims will be resettled in our neighborhoods? Last year the New York Times compiled a 20-point checklist for Mohammed: Why It Takes Two Years for Syrian Refugees to Enter the U.S.

But orderly examination is […]

America’s Senator Jeff Sessions Warns That Omnibus Budget Funds Obama’s Open Borders

Congress is back in session and members are in a hurry to get their business done ASAP so they can have a nice long Christmas vacation. That priority means jamming through another omnibus spending bill, a form of budget management that allows all sorts of corruption to permeate the sausage.

And as the Republican leadership […]

Chairman McCaul Questions Wisdom of Admitting Syrian Refugees

It’s easy to regard the big capital city as Crazyville, where Barack Hussein Obama routinely ties himself into knots of untruthiness when he tries to protect his precious Islam with linguistic gyrations.

Still, occasional glimpses of sanity burble out from unexpected sources. Senator Dianne Feinstein, the Ranking Member of the Senate Select Intelligence Committee, observed […]

Sweden Is Having Second Thoughts about Admitting Unlimited Syrian Refugees

In September 2013, the Swedish government generously offered to welcome all refugees from Syria — counted as being two million at that time.

Now the government is toting up the financial cost and the result is not pretty.

The New York Times included a dollar figure for the Swedish taxpayers’ cost a few months back:

Pope Francis Urges Europe to ‘Open Doors’ to Refugees Despite High Unemployment

Over in the medieval Vatican, the busybody Pope Francis has called upon Europe to accept more diverse refugees from the third world.

The Pope could have shown leadership by admitting a few dozen suffering souls to his diminutive city-state (a real country with ambassadors and a flag), but he has not. He is scheduled to […]

Obama Creates Refugee Status for Thousands of Central Americans

Obama must be getting in the mood for his post-election mega-amnesty for millions. He recently used his royal pen to broaden the refugee program to include poor people from Central America. Naturally, the people who live there will assume that they are welcome to come to the US any which way they can.

Below, “unaccompanied” […]

RefugeeResettlementWatch’s Ann Corcoran Is Interviewed by the Daily Caller

What a nice surprise to see Ann Corcoran of RefugeeResettlementWatch being interviewed by the ever-curious Ginni Thomas at the DailyCaller.com. The title of the piece is tied to Labor Day, but the discussion is really about the refugee system as a whole and how shielded it is from any oversight from the American people.
