Stop
U.S. Mayors from Importing Un-vetted Refugees
|
|
18 mayors from
around the country recently signed an open letter to President Obama, asking for even more refugees
than the huge numbers his Administration has called for,
and most ridiculously of all, praising the current background
check process. If you have seen the news lately, you’re probably aware
that almost all refugees are now claiming to be from Syria and are
throwing away their ID’s and passports from their country of origin.
Ask yourself: How is it possible to do a
background check on someone from a war zone? How can
you know the person’s true identity? What about people from the regions
ISIS controls? Does the State Department call up ISIS and ask if the
person is a terrorist? Is the State Department cooperating with Assad’s
government to perform background checks? Any claim by the White House or
the State Department that thorough screening and background checks are
being performed on these refugees is a terrible joke.
Unfortunately, it’s one with severe national security ramifications.
Further, with
today's rampant unemployment and low wages, why would we introduce even
more competition against American workers for the few jobs that are
being created? What will happen to American wages when there is even
more competition for jobs?
What will
happen to our schools? Budget cuts and
teacher shortages are already hurting schools across the country. Are schools ready to accept
thousands of additional students with no extra funding?
Most of the students will not speak English. How will our schools
afford or ever find qualified teachers in the various languages
required to staff entire parallel systems of all the classes currently
being offered? This will require massive budget increases that are just
not available. The only possible way to fund this is to drastically
siphon off resources from current students and lower the quality of
their education.
There are
numerous other infrastructure problems this refugee resettlment scheme
will bring related to traffic, power, sanitation, housing, crime, and
healthcare. This has clearly not been thought through very well.
It is merely a
cheap ploy by these mayors to grab votes without regard for the
multitude of problems it will inflict upon the citizens of their cities.
It’s time to
stand up for our communities and hold these elected officials
accountable for their foolish actions. Shame on them.
We’ve provided
an email with talking points for you to send to these mayors. (You only
have to do it once and it will go to all of them.)
