Summer Jobs for Refugees
Yes, you read that title correctly. The Obama
Administration is now working to spend your hard-earned taxpayer
dollars to help find jobs for young refugees over legal Americans. We
cannot make this stuff up.
Enough is enough of this politically correct garbage.
Please support Congressman Brian Babin’s (TX-36) bill, H.R. 3314, the Resettlement Accountability
and National Security Act, legislation
temporarily suspending the admission of refugees to the U.S., and join
our Refugee Resettlement Working Group.
Let us not take a backseat in this crucial fight to keep our nation
safe.

Obama spending
millions to find summer jobs — for refugees
Victor
Skinner, The American Mirror
 The Obama
administration wants to make sure Utica, New York’s young refugees
aren’t without a job, so he’s spending millions to make sure it doesn’t
happen.
“Access to a job in the summer and beyond can make all the difference
to a young person – especially those who don’t have access to many
resources and opportunities,” President Obama said of his new Summer
Opportunity Project.
The project spends a total of $21 million on a variety of programs in
11 communities nationwide with the focus of helping young people find
summer work, and permanent part-time jobs, the White House and U.S.
Department of Labor announced Monday.
At least $2 million of the total will be set aside to help 400 refugee
students in Utica, New York get to work through the New Americans
Career Pathways Project, the Utica Observer-Dispatch reports.
“The New Americans Career Pathways project will provide in-school youth
with summer jobs and academic support for 400 students in the refugee
populations of Utica, NY,” according to a White House Fact Sheet. “The
students will receive summer job work experience and academic tutoring
in English and Math, and support in finding part-time jobs.”
The multi-million refugee employment program is, however, only one
among many that will receive a helping hand from the government over
the summer.
“Since 2009, more than fifteen Federal agencies have launched dozens of
initiatives and partnerships with over 1,800 rural, tribal and urban
communities,” according to the White House statement Monday. “Building
on that work, the White House and 16 federal agencies announce an
effort today to provide tailored support from the federal government to
16 Summer Impact Hubs to upgrade and expand their summer jobs,
learning, meals, and violence reduction programs for young people this
summer and year-round.”
Other projects include “employment-related services” for Native
American youth in California, Illinois and Iowa; to “create summer
employment and year-round work experiences for 1,000 disconnected youth
and underserved populations, including Latino and Arab-American youth”
in Detroit; and inner-city jobs programs in Indianapolis, Philadelphia
and other places.
According to Syracuse.com,
“President Barack Obama’s administration launched the effort after a
study found that almost 46 percent of youth who applied for summer jobs
last year were turned down.”
The White House announcement pointed out that Obama’s push for a $5.5
billion budget proposal to “open doors to a first job” is also in the
works and could bring another wave of federal cash to “at-risk young
Americans.”
According to the White House’s Monday Fact Sheet/ news release:
The President’s FY
2017 Budget proposes new investments – nearly double last year’s
request – to connect more than 1 million young people to first jobs
over the summer and year-round. It would also create a new $2 billion
competitive grant program designed to connect at-risk and disconnected
youth to educational and workforce pathways. DOL will work with
Treasury to ensure that young people participating in these programs
have access to safe and appropriate financial products and accounts.
Nearly everyone who discussed the Utica program in the Syracuse.com
comments was appalled that the president seems to be prioritizing
illegal immigrants over U.S. citizens for summer jobs in their region.
“Most divisive president ever adds to the legacy,” Dawn Of A New Day
posted.
“This is absurd!” greats wrote. “Yes people, vote for Hillary. She
wants this too. To heck with American youth. Let’s employ refugees who
can’t even speak English! Go Trump! Stand up for America!”
“So legal Americans are not worthy of summer jobs?” RockwellSprings
questioned. “Can’t wait for November.”
“What about OUR kids?” bastracker wrote. “I am thoroughly disgusted.”
