NY: As refugee contractors begin to run out of federal money, they turn to state legislatures looking for millions
|
[RefugeeSettlementWatch] We told you earlier this morning that refugee contracting agencies (see list below) are closing some of their satellite offices.
The UN/US Refugee Admissions Program is numbers-driven since refugees arrive in the US with federal funding attached to each one--administration of that money (your money) is left to the ’non-profit’ resettlement agencies. As the Trump Administration cuts the numbers, there is commensurate reduction in funding for non-profit groups!
Here we learn in New York that the federal contractors who operate in the state are looking to state taxpayers to make up their loss of federal funding.
Why aren’t they out raising private money from all of the ’humanitarians’ they claim want this program?
If you live in New York state you better let your state legislators know what you think!
From the Poughkeepsie Journal (hat tip:Jim):
ALBANY ‐ Democratic lawmakers on Wednesday called for a $12 million boost in state funding for upstate’s refugee resettlement agencies. [snip]
Be sure to keep an eye out in your state for the legislature or state assembly to try to slip funding in for non-profit groups that should have been raising private money (for their ’religious charitable’ work) for decades!
Here are the nine major federal contracting agencies now desperate for more of your money:
Church World Service (CWS)
Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC) (secular)
Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM)
Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS)
International Rescue Committee (IRC) (secular)
US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) (secular)
Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services (LIRS)
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)
World Relief Corporation (WR)
