The last week or so I’ve been struggling to finish a post on the perils inherent in our current immigration “policies”. Aside from my health issues (boring), digging up the pertinent information from a wide variety of sources was daunting. So much of it is deliberately shrouded in secrecy and divided among multitudes of organizations, bureaucracies, and “subcontractors. The trek through what appeared to be a trackless desert of agencies, programs, and (ir)responsible bureaucratic directives seemed endless. When it came to creating a coherent essay out of the disparate pieces, I sadly set the puzzle of evil intentions aside to wait for my physical condition to improve. Sigh…
What had brought my ongoing concern to a boil was that well-known Epistle from the Far-Left Fourteen. Their smarmy politospeak letter to President Obama actually got me out of bed and sitting at the keyboard. Given the wall-to-wall coverage by our intrepid MSM I’m sure your concern has been equally engaged, too, hasn’t it? Oh. You were away in Outer Mongolia last week so you missed it? Well, gentle readers, let me refer you to the four-page plea from some of America’s elected extremist Leftists to their Supreme Leftist Leader. It’s here and it’s ugly.
These senators will do anything for a vote. “Anything” includes demanding that we take in an extra 65,000 Syrian refugees by the end of 2016. I call this The New Stockholm Syndrome. There are several signs and symptoms associated with TNSS but its main manifestation is an inordinate, incurable desire to stuff your country with Syrian refugees and then proceed to let them destroy your culture. Before now I would’ve said, “It’s a Swedish thing; we couldn’t understand.” But now I know better: it’s a leftist thing. To begin to understand it, think of it as an opportunistic infection arising from the death of a previously healthy immune system. Yeah, like HIV. The public health departments have educated us all on the ways to avoid the near occasions of acquiring an HIV infection but it’s not entirely escapable: if your momma gives birth to you whilst in the throes of an HIV outbreak herself, you get to share the disease with her.
It’s the same with the extreme versions of socialism: if your elected leaders — and especially your fourth branch of government, those unelected and promiscuously replicating bureaucracies — are infected with suicidal levels of political correctness and/or multi-cultural diversity, then your chances of surviving their compulsively intrusive kamikaze “programs” will become dimmer by the day.
In this case, just do the math, sticking to politically correct parameters: we are told and so we all know for certain that only a tiny minority of Muslims are terrorists. Well, ninety percent of those Syrian culture-enrichers the senators are panting after are Muslim. If you’re an adherent of the “tiny minority” theory of terrorism, then we get to have, oh maybe, 650 new jihadists roaming the fruited plains. None of the remaining enrichers will be vetted for disease, dirty bombs, or designs on our country. File this under “the check is in the mail” — and I remind you that the check is drawn on the account of the already over-burdened American taxpayer.
The cynical pols who wrote that letter to the President used research from the Refugee Council USA to back up their demand that we make room. This is akin to calling a drug addict as an expert witness when making the case for legalizing heroin. Just click on that URL from the Refugee Resettlement Watch to bring up a search page on the history of this fine organization. And remember, the job of any bureaucracy is to guard its viability. It has to keep coming up with ‘work’ that justifies its existence.
The toxic horrors of the War on Poverty are in full flower now. Nearly every urban center controlled by the Democrat machine is failing on all levels: culturally, educationally, fiscally — you name a category and these determined socialist programs have deeply failed us. But you can count on the electoral vote going to the Democrats — and that was the whole point in that evil enterprise, the one Daniel Moynihan warned us about ahead of time. Even worse, these criminals have piled a heap of ruin on the very people they claimed to be helping. Our cities are exploding even as the Democrat governance of these places implodes. Look at Detroit and think “Chernobyl without the radiation”. Climbing our way over the mountains of trashed humanity and reclaiming those toxic areas will be the work of generations. That is, if we can hold the politicians and the professional bureaucrats at bay long enough to begin the work of excavation. Part of that work will be closing the door to large numbers of third world immigrants — closing the door and holding it shut against the very same ideological machinations that ruined America in the last fifty years.
I’m not well enough to continue my research and have sadly abandoned it. However, in our email today came the following post from the New English Review. Jerry Gordon has collected Ann Corcoran’s information, and Ann herself, to provide both a fascinating interview and a coherent summation of the criminal acts being foisted upon us. Unlike Sweden, we weren’t a socialist paradise before the immigrant onslaught. Unlike Sweden we already have a large minority population whose resentment is nourished by the same people who profit from it. Someday #BlackLivesMatter will be seen clearly as a con job by a bunch of opportunists. But that’s a problem to confront on another day. First, we need to be informed about the latest crisis being created by the folks at Constant Crisis, Incorporated™
That’s why I’m excerpting from the post Jerry Gordon has up at the New English Review.
He dives into the alphabet soup and comes up with the words these charlatans hide behind and use to disguise their real intentions.
Jerry also interviews Ann Corcoran, the woman above all others — including the foundations and purported ‘rightwing’ slick sheets — who single-handedly has educated many of us about the clear and present danger of our ongoing immigration crisis. “Ongoing” crisis as in one that has continued under the radar for decades. I suppose a “crisis” that is more than thirty years old is, strictly speaking, no longer a crisis. But what word can we use in its stead? The problems of immigration remain A Crisis because the bought-and-paid-for silence/complicity of our degraded mainstream media insures that the reality will be squelched until such time that it affects even their precious skins. Until then, we’re on our own to discover the truth.
Thank heavens for people like Jerry Gordon and Ann Corcoran. They deserve our gratitude. If this country is ever put aright again, their names will be in the history books. Just as, when the cabal surrounding the FDR Adoration Society eventually drops into a well-deserved oubliette, Diana West’s crucial work on the truth of those years will get the promulgation which it deserves and which we need. These events may not happen in our lifetime, but we need to stay vigilant for the generations coming after us so they will at least have some pieces to recover.
Now on to Jerry Gordon’s post, or at least some excerpts. Since I haven’t asked to mirror it, I will only use part of it — amended for my own purposes — but leaving you with plenty to read at the original URL. If there is repetition of what I have said in this long introduction, bear with me; I’ve been writing and thinking about this subject all week — ever since I came across that letter to Obama from those odious extremist Left senators. Because what NER has done here is so much more extensive than what I’d rounded up, I am duty-bound to give you the better report.

Jerry begins with the Pew Project numbers and some alphabet soup. If you read these reports long enough, you get used to the MEGO bumf, but it never becomes easy to read. [As we go forward, the emphases and kibitzing in this essay will be mine. The research, unless otherwise specified, will be Jerry Gordon’s. —D ]
Here’s my adaptation of Jerry’s opening paragraph. He cites Pew Research for his numbers on immigration; my preference is to make a table that is more easily comprehended when dealing with large numbers:
- In 2013 over one million legal immigrants came to America. [did you know the number was that high? I wonder what it is now as Obama’s foreign policy of deliberately induced chaos has proceeded apace?]
- Of these “over one million” immigrants ten percent were Muslims — though it doesn’t indicate what kinds of Muslims made it here [don’t forget to do your math on the terrorist “tiny minority” among this group].
- More than 1.3 million Muslims have been brought into the U.S. via a billion dollar program run by the US Refugee Admissions Programs [Pew doesn’t say how long a period it took for us to admit these 1.3 million Muslims but I’d bet it’s less than a decade. Look at this other group, a gift from the UN, which is, I think, separate from the US RAP numbers Jerry quotes. Every single year the United Nations High Commissioner of Refugees — that’s UNHCR to you — gives us a separate 70,000 . If you begin to research this area, UNHCR will come up a lot].
Here’s a chart I found going back to 2009, which Mr. Gordon might find useful:
Jerry continues:
According to Ann Corcoran, editor of the Refugee Resettlement Watch (RRW) blog, this UN refugee agency “virtually calls the shots” for the US RAP that provides legal refugee immigrants with a veritable smorgasbord of cash welfare, Social Security benefits for elderly refugees, Medicaid, educational assistance and a pathway to ultimate citizenship. Including both federal and state level benefits; some experts estimate that the annual total cost of the US RAP could be upwards of $12 to $20 billion annually.
[We are being beggared by beggars. But that may be the whole point of the extremist Left’s scheme to eliminate the backbone of the middle class by overwhelming it with immigrant labor and endless regulations —D]
He then breaks down some of the ways in which these bureaucrats use your money. Again, a table; a flow chart would be even more enlightening:
The tripartite US RAP is administered by:
- the US Department of State, Bureau of Population Refugees and Migration (BPRM) that admits and contracts with voluntary agencies to process refugees;
- the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that allegedly screens refugees abroad;
- and the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) of the US Department of Health and Human Services that funds grants to program contractors and refugee ethnic groups for community absorption.
Look where all this goes:
The President, upon advice from the State Department BPRM, sends Congress an annual directive conveying these UNHCR refugee allotments that are virtually “rubber stamped” by immigration and border security subcommittees of Congress.
When we alarmists sound that alarm this is what all our noise is about — the hollow sound of rubber stamps where there used to be voice votes in Congress. But now it’s backwards: the fourth branch of government — the bureaucracies named above in this case — should have to appear before the relevant Congressional committees to have their fiefdoms held in check. Only after their budgets have been approved by Congress’ advise-and-consent function should they then go to the president for approval. But that’s not how it works anymore. A corrupt short-circuit by the fourth branch of the federal government has been inserted into the process, emasculating Congress.
