Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison Introduces Bill to Import More “Refugees” Faster

Translated: Minnesota’s Keith Hakim Ellison (D – Islam) wants to tax Americans more to transplant more mostly Muslim “refugees” to towns and cities already broke and without jobs. Forever transforming America, burdening the education, law enforcement and health services systems, among many other things. via Ellison Introduces “Strengthening Refugee Resettlement Act”.

    September 20, 2012

    WASHINGTON–Rep. Keith Ellison (MN-05) today introduced the “Strengthening Refugee Resettlement Act,” which increases coordination and provides much-needed resources for new Americans fleeing war, persecution, or natural disaster.

    The bill streamlines refugee processing abroad, while taking advantage of that processing time to provide refugees with English classes and work orientation training. It also allows refugees to be admitted to the United States as lawful permanent residents, saving scarce government and non-governmental organization (NGO) resources.

    The bill strengthens refugee integration into local communities. In particular, it expands the public-private Matching Grant program, which has been highly successful in helping refugees become economically self-sufficient.

    “America’s refugee program should reflect our values of generosity and inclusion for all Americans—new and old. The ‘Strengthening Refugee Resettlement Act’ achieves this by making sure refugee families have the resources they need to be self-sufficient as quickly as possible. Strengthening support not only helps the 34,000 refugees who have come to Minnesota since 2000, but improves America’s image abroad.”

    According to the University of Minnesota, Minnesota has historically had the highest number of refugees per capita. Between 1999 and 2007, over 34,000 people were resettled in Minnesota, from 30 different countries. Over 50,000 Somalis alone—many of them refugee–currently live in Minnesota.

Missus FBG and I sponsored a Viet Namese faimily 12-13 years ago.  Thon was former Air Borne, (S. Viet Nam of course)  Mom and Dad had no interest at all in learning English.  The kids (2) had a lot of difficulty with English.  Experience tells me that reugee's don't like to assimilate.  Bring in more rag-heads, or rug kneelers, and we'll have another festering boil to lance in the future.

I've got no problem with the ones who do it right, jump through the hoops and spend the money to follow the rules
My major beef is with the ones who's qualifications consist of jumping fences and wading rivers.
That being said, no "good" Muslim can be a "good" American, the ideals are diametrically opposed.
Just take the Muslim treatment of women as one basic example.
How can a person who religion is based on submission to spiritual and secular authority contribute to a society where he is supposed to have a voice in government ?

I have some rental property leased to a guy named "Tom," a Vietnamese "sponsor." He's a guy about my age who served with the South VN forces at the same time and near the same place I served back in the late '60s.  He was later jailed by the commies and somehow managed to escape.

Tom sponsors legal Vietnamese immigrants and the immigrants live in my rental.

They are all working hard and taking English language lessons in their time off.  But, English is a tough language for them since we are not tonal and many of the sounds in English are simply not made in Vietnamese.  Even when they develop some language skills it can be tough to understand them.

That said, the first generation here seems to be willing to do whatever it takes to deserve America's freedom.

The second generation (and I am generalizing here) seems to affiliate more with blacks and latinos, or they form their own gangs which, for the most part, seem to prey on the older Vietnamese.   

I don't know what the answer is.  Tom and his group are excellent tenants.  Rent is paid on time, and they are clean, hard working people who maintain the yard.

The generation born and raised here is much more problematic. 

But, that said, most are at least nominal Buddhists or Roman Catholics (the French were in Vietnam for many, many years) and do not have an in-built "death to the infidels" mandate in their religious teachings.

The same cannot be said for even the most "moderate" of mooslums.

Just today, I was in line at the local Wally World, and ended up changing lanes. Partly, the line wasn't moving, but mostly it wasn't moving because there was a Somali guy with a fistful of WIC checks trying to buy disallowed stuff and arguing with the cashier. I checked out through another line, and noticed the Somali was just finishing after I had waited, moved, waited some more, then checked out.

I was steamed.
