Will You Help Track Refugee Resettlement in Your Community?

ACT for America exists to educate, engage, and mobilize the largest network of grassroots activists focused on national security and defeating terrorism.

Refugee Resettlement Working Group Alert

Tracking Refugee Resettlement in Your Community



We frequently pass along sage advice from our dear friend, and dedicated refugee resettlement activist, Ann Corcoran (of famed “Refugee Resettlement Watch”).
 
Considering the quite disturbing Fox news article we came across recently, "US weighing under-the-radar routes for Syrian refugees?” we felt that Ann’s recent “repost” by one of her blog followers was worth our, in turn, “reposting.”

ACT for America is all about the grassroots taking effective action to preserve the security of our nation.  If, as the above-noted article warns, the Obama Administration is planning to bring more refugees than ever to the U.S.  — under the radar — we need to be more vigilant than ever.

The information below contains detailed steps that we can each take in order to obtain information about refugees coming to our respective communities. We encourage you to become active on this issue in your community and to ask everyone you know to join our Refugee Resettlement Working Group.

Officials need to know that the public is concerned….and that they are watching.

Thank you!

P.S. Our next Refugee Resettlement Conference Call, including important updates from Capitol Hill, is in the works!  Our last one was so popular it was sold out, so don’t miss it!  Stay tuned for further details.


From the April 27, 2016 edition of Refugee Resettlement Watch:

Get organized! (from 'jdelaney3')

I urge folks to deluge local resettlement agency offices with phone calls to determine what refugees and in what numbers they plan to accept for resettlement during the remainder of the year. Put them on notice that you and many others will be watching.

If any of those refugees the agency is planning to resettle are, from all reports, improperly vetted, urge them NOT to “assure” (accept) them.

Keep your eye on these volags/ngos/gov’t contractors and call with regularity for updated information as to what refugees have arrived and what refugees are expected to arrive.

I would also contact City Hall and the County Executive to intercede as well in this regard.
Also, reach out to community organizations, many of which should welcome the opportunity to keep tabs on the refugee influx as well.

If the agency is a Catholic-supervised operation, e.g. Migration & Refugee Services–USCCB, also touch base with the Diocese as often as appropriate. Let them all know they’re being monitored.

It’s all about pressure and oversight which these refugee resettlement operations are terrified of.
Finally, if you know folks who have firsthand familiarity with the local resettlement office staff and operation, ask them to keep you posted. Not all who work for or volunteer for these agencies are lackeys. 

So how do you find your local resettlement agency offices? Click here and if you live near one of these offices know that they can resettle refugees in nearby towns---up to 100 miles or about a two hour drive away.

But, here is step 2!  You have got to get what you learn out beyond your own little circle!  Write a blog or website, write letters-to-the-editor, develop a social media network, make youtube vids, whatever it takes!
Use your free speech while you've got it!
