Is Minnesota’s welcome mat still out for refugees?

Posted on Leave a comment

That is the question that the Twin Cities Pioneer Press seeks to answer in a longish article published yesterday. (Was it ever really out, or were Minnesotans kept in the dark and never asked?) Employing a technique we have become accustomed to seeing, reporter Bob Shaw uses a family as his ‘poster family’ that seems..

GAO says climate of “fear” in chicken plants where refugee workers are part of the workforce

Posted on Leave a comment

We have been reporting for years about the meatpacking industry, what we call BIG MEAT and BIG CHICKEN, having discovered the great advantages of hiring immigrant and refugee laborers (foreign-born the GAO calls them) who will work for lower wages (this industry once did pay good wages) and complain less than American workers who understand..

Posted on Leave a comment

Daniel Pipes is President of the Middle East Forum and has been writing and speaking about Islam since before 9/11. In a November interview (originally published in Italian), Pipes commented on his predictions for Syria as the ISIS threat is diminished.

Politifact: There is no way to get at the true cost of resettling refugees in the US

Posted on Leave a comment

This is a story I missed in September right after the President spoke at the UN General Assembly.  Thanks to reader Brenda for sending it our way. We know this is true and it has been frustrating over the years when I’ve been unable to tell readers exactly what it does cost the US and..

US Conference of Catholic Bishops not happy with the President

Posted on Leave a comment

So what else is new.  The USCCB, as readers know, is one of the nine major federal resettlement contractors*** that is being financially hurt by the slowdown in the refugee flow to Your Town, USA. But, they never tell the public that piece of important information when they wail about federal refugee policy changes. I..

Posted on Leave a comment

Over a week ago, the Heritage Foundation tooted their horn in an e-mail that they had visited the White House with their “Roadmap for Reform” for the US Refugee  Admissions Program. You learned about that visit here. In their e-mail Heritage said this: Last Thursday, they briefed Admiral Hall on their report at the National..

I’ve told you about the Refugee Council USA many times. It is the consortium of groups that includes the nine federal resettlement contractors that pressures policy makers in Washington, DC. Back in 2015 they were clamoring for 200,000 refugees to be admitted to the US in one year! Most recently they joined with CAIR to..

Supreme Court says Trump travel ban can be enforced for now

Posted on Leave a comment

Truth be told, I never fully immersed myself in the travel ban issue as I saw it as separate from what I’ve been concentrating on. I’ve thought from the beginning that the President should never have mixed the two issues (US Refugee program and a travel restriction) in that first Executive Order and thus thoroughly..

The Atlantic contributing editor, Peter Beinart, wants taxpayers to fund special cemeteries for Muslims

Posted on Leave a comment

In his hilarious screed I reported here, Beinart says in critical tones that I (“anti-Muslim bigot” Ann Corcoran) oppose Muslim refugee’s efforts to require “local government to pay for a Muslim cemetery.” Don’t you? Learn more about Beinart here at Horowitz’s Discover the Networks.  He gets a lengthy page all for himself:  http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2739 In so..
