State Dept stabs Trump by increasing flow of “refugees” to US

More proof that the tick-like embedded Obama-Obedient Deep State Loyalistas continue to subvert, undermine, compromise, diminish, impair and sabotage the presidency of Donald Trump, who won his spot not by imperial fiat but by playing according to the rules.

Leftists at the Department of State hate that. They hate his policies. They’ve already said so. They want more “refugees,” not fewer.

Report: Trump Administration to Nearly Double Rate of Refugee Admissions for Balance of FY 2017

by Michael Patrick Leahy

The New York Timesis reporting that the State Department will nearly double the rate of refugee admissions to the United States for the balance of FY 2017, from the current rate of 830 per week to 1,500 per week.

Of course, that’s at the behest of President Trump, right?

“Despite repeated efforts by President Trump to curtail refugee resettlements, the State Department this week quietly lifted the department’s restriction on the number of refugees allowed to enter the United States,” the Times reported on Friday.

The result could be a near doubling of refugees entering the country, from about 830 people a week in the first three weeks of this month to well over 1,500 people per week by next month, according to refugee advocates. Tens of thousands of refugees are waiting to come to the United States.

The State Department’s decision was conveyed in an email on Thursday to the private agencies in countries around the world that help refugees manage the nearly two-year application process needed to enter the United States.

In her email, Jennifer L. Smith, a department official, wrote that the refugee groups could begin bringing people to the United States “unconstrained by the weekly quotas that were in place.”

Uh-oh. Maybe not conducted on behalf of the President of the United States, one Donald John Trump.

It is unclear if the State Department made this upward adjustment with the knowledge and approval of President Trump. The Department of Justice, however, was apparently consulted.

Really? Just who within the DOJ? Was it from the top via Attorney General Jeff Sessions? No one seems yet to know.

“A State Department spokeswoman, speaking on the condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to discuss the issue publicly, said the department had consulted the Department of Justice about its refugee quotas and had decided to adjust them,” the Times reported.

Again: who was “consulted”? Did this alleged “consultation” go right into the office of the AG himself? Did it somehow wend its way into the White House? Shock of shocks, I suspect not.

As of May 24, 45,533 refugees have been admitted to the United States in FY 2017, which began on October 1, 2016. Earlier this week, Breitbart News estimated that if the refugee entry rate continued at the level of 817 per week (the rate of the four most recent weeks), the total number of refugees admitted to the United States in FY 2017 by September 30 would be 60,672.

Do we even know where our current bulk of refugees are or where they went? How many entered? How many visa overstays? Of course we don’t because the Obama administration didn’t care and, more pointedly, didn’t want to know.

Stop. Let’s look at the numbers. I’ll wager you had no idea this great a flood was occurring right under our very noses. That’s 45,000 “refugees” into the US before the end of the 2017 federal fiscal year.

What is a federal fiscal year? Every FFY starts on October 1st and runs to the last day of September. Translated: there’s still a lot of FY 2017 remaining.

You want stats? Costs? How about this, where Rep. Scott DesJarlais speaks to Department of Homeland Security and State Department officials over the dangers of allowing refugees from Syria into the United States without the ability to properly vet them, including their likely terror ties.

Let’s also consult further statistics. From PewResearch.org:

A total of 38,901 Muslim refugees entered the U.S. in fiscal year 2016, making up almost half (46%) of the nearly 85,000 refugees who entered the country in that period, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of data from the State Department’s Refugee Processing Center. That means the U.S. has admitted the highest number of Muslim refugees of any year since data on self-reported religious affiliations first became publicly available in 2002.

Your State Department wants more.

Opponents of the federal refugee resettlement program vigorously criticized the reported change in the Trump administration’s refugee admissions policy for FY 2017.

“Stunning news: Trump State Department opens the flood gates, refugee admissions will explode in coming weeks,” Ann Corcoran wrote at Refugee Resettlement Watch on Saturday.

“Betraying the voters who elected Donald Trump, the Department of State slipped the news to the contractors on Thursday who then slipped the news to the New York Times just as you were packing up for the beach or getting ready for a family barbecue using the federal government’s favorite holiday weekend trick to bury the news,” Corcoran added.

But wait. Muslims vs Christians? Sorry. Christians lose. Even Newsweek.com admits:

THE U.S. BARS CHRISTIAN, NOT MUSLIM, REFUGEES FROM SYRIA

by Elliott Abrams

The headline for this column—The U.S. Bars Christian, Not Muslim, Refugees From Syria—will strike many readers as ridiculous.

But the numbers tell a different story: The United States has accepted 10,801 Syrian refugees, of whom 56 are Christian. Not 56 percent; 56 total, out of 10,801. That is to say, one-half of 1 percent.

One half of one percent. Oddly enough, that corresponds to the number of transgender persons in the US, the likes for which we must turn our society upside-down.

We’ll go to bat for transgenders but Christians can go to hell in their minority numbers?

The Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, the administrative part of the State Department that manages the inflow of refugees to the United States, continues to be run by holdovers from the Obama administration.

What a shock. I’m shocked. I’m sure you’re equally shocked. State Department underminers are still back at this:

  • Rigged primaries = FAILED;
  • Rigged debates = FAILED;
  • Rigged general = FAILED;
  • Rigged AMM = FAILED;
  • Rigged FBI = FAILED;
  • Rigged recount = FAILED;
  • Rigged “fake news” = FAILED;
  • Rigged “Russia hackers” = FAILED;
  • Rigged “Hamilton Electors” = FAILED.

What’s left? To undermine from the inside at the DOS. They have an agenda and they have made no bones about it.

Then this from CounterJihadReport.com:

Stunning news: Trump State Department opens the flood gates, refugee admissions will explode in coming weeks

Betraying the voters who elected Donald Trump, the Department of State slipped the news to the contractors on Thursday who then slipped the news to the New York Times just as you were packing up for the beach or getting ready for a family barbecue using the federal government’s favorite holiday weekend trick to bury the news.

Forget everything I said in my post yesterday about Trump’s “average” admissions. If they do as they are now saying they will, Donald Trump will be responsible for one of six highest resettlement years since 9/11.

The NYTimes.com reports:

U.S. Quietly Lifts Limit on Number of Refugees Allowed In

by Gardiner Harris

WASHINGTON — Despite repeated efforts by President Trump to curtail refugee resettlements, the State Department this week quietly lifted the department’s restriction on the number of refugees allowed to enter the United States.

The result could be a near doubling of refugees entering the country, from about 830 people a week in the first three weeks of this month to well over 1,500 people per week by next month, according to refugee advocates. Tens of thousands of refugees are waiting to come to the United States.

Tens of thousands. The bulk of whom are Muslim.

President Trump wanted a travel stay from primarily seven, then six Middle Eastern terror-oriented nations. He is getting the exact opposite, aided and abetted by black robed men and women nurturing and issuing their very own fake laws.

You can see how well that’s going for Europe. Do we really want that same state of affairs here in the United States? More deaths from persons who have no investment whatsoever in Western culture or civilization and, further, want not simply to be just indifferent but want to tear it down completely?

Execs at State Department resign in hordes

My first two first thoughts:

  • Excellent, and
  • Don’t let the doors smack your arse on the way out.

Let’s check the NYPost.com:

Senior staff resigns en masse from State Department

by Bob Fredericks

A group of top career officials at the State Department resigned en masse the same day Secretary of State-designate Rex Tillerson paid a visit to Foggy Bottom to introduce himself, it was reported Thursday.

Among those bailing on the Trump administration was Patrick Kennedy, State’s longtime undersecretary for management, the Washington Post reported.

Kennedy, who joined the agency in 1973, had been active in the transition from John Kerry to the former ExxonMobil chief, and was said to want to remain in his post.

Stand by for a bit of juicy schadenfreude.

But once word got out that Team Trump was looking to give him the boot and hire someone else, he and three of his top aides bailed.

The others who resigned Wednesday included Assistant Secretary of State for Administration Joyce Anne Barr, Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs Michele Bond and Ambassador Gentry O. Smith, director of the Office of Foreign Missions.

Some in the media are portraying this movement as a mass exodus of institutional memory that can’t be resolved. But guess what? This is rather normal in every presidential transition. It’s also a normal event with many businesses and institutions. My former department, for example, recently had many persons retire for various reasons which did in fact leave a vacuum of institutional knowledge. However, like any business, any agency, any institution, any city, county or state entity, you deal with it. It’s not the end of the world. Recovery will occur because it always does. Every four years.

Further: “senior staff” means the “executives.” Question to all: who does the real work in any organization? The Chiefs or the Indians? So yes, that’s how greatly they’ll be missed. Reality, meet door-on-the-way-out. All the perfumed princes and princesses will likely be rapidly forgotten.

Would it shock you to know that the bulk of employees working at the State Department are Leftists who consistently vote Demorat?

Would it shock you to know that the bulk of employees working at the State Department are Leftists who consistently contribute to Demorats? Check the graphic above, acquired from FedSmith.com.

Translation: the Department of State frequently works at cross-purposes with GOP or conservative presidential administrations. I believe the trend will continue with this State Department so, truthfully, it’s good to get some of the Dead Leftwood out of the building.

And, oh yes, it actually makes Tillerson’s job easier in the longer run.
