    Exclamation NY Times: Refugees Needed to Fill ‘Void of Cultural Diversity’ in White Towns

    God know we could use some diversity...what with all the violent crime, high taxes, big government, low life expectancies, high unemployment, low test scores, lack of higher education, low IQ, poor wages, $#@!ty housing, litter, dirt and filth us nasty white people have created in New Hampshire.

    Yeah, that's exactly what we need, a couple million sub Saharan Africans...that'll turn things around.






    NY Times: Refugees Needed to Fill ‘Void of Cultural Diversity’ in White Towns

    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...n-white-towns/

    JOHN BINDER 31 Oct 2019

    More refugees must be resettled across the United States to fill a “void of cultural diversity” in towns that are made up of a majority of white Americans, a New York Times report states.

    As President Trump is set to lower refugee admissions for the third year, keeping his 2o16 campaign promise to significantly reform the program after almost four decades, the New York Times published a report this week detailing how Congolese refugees already living in the U.S. are looking to bring their foreign relatives to the country through the refugee resettlement program.

    Those who support expanding refugee resettlement, the New York Times reports, say doing so is necessary for bringing “cultural diversity” to majority-white American towns like Missoula, Montana, which is more than 89 percent white and three percent Hispanic.

    The New York Times reports:

    To supporters like Mr. Engen, the Congolese are filling a void of cultural diversity in a town that is nearly 90 percent white. In the 1980s, Hmong refugees from Laos settled in Missoula. The children of immigrant families are usually the few students of color in city classrooms, while their parents work long hours at businesses eager for the help. [Emphasis added]

    The New York Times has previously claimed that “nearly all white” states like New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine pose “an array of problems for new arrivals” to the U.S., as Breitbart News noted.

    “New Hampshire, like its neighbors Vermont and Maine, is nearly all white,” the New York Times piece stated in a report about how to decrease white populations in such states. “This has posed an array of problems for new arrivals, who often find themselves isolated and alone, without the comfort and support of a built-in community.”

    NY Times: 'Nearly All White' States Pose 'an Array of Problems' for Immigrants
    The New York Times seemingly blasts the state of New Hampshire, as well as Vermont and Maine, for being "nearly all white."

    As Breitbart News has reported, the U.S. has permanently resettled more than 1.7 million foreign nationals and refugees through a variety of humanitarian programs — a foreign population larger than the size of Philadelphia, which has 1.5 million residents.

    These 1.7 million foreign nationals and refugees do not include the roughly 445,000 foreign nationals who have been allowed to remain in the U.S. through the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program.

    Refugee resettlement costs American taxpayers nearly $9 billion every five years, according to the latest research. Over the course of five years, an estimated 16 percent of all refugees admitted will need housing assistance paid for by taxpayers.

    By "built-in" they mean an ethnically foreign population that has brought all the problems with it's culture with them. The "built-in" community is white, conservative. Who, for the most part, would not mind immigrants who truly wish to assimilate to do so in small numbers. What the NYT's advocates is not assimilation. It advocates carving out a swath for immigrants to congregate, continue practicing their failed traditions, and suplant the "built-in" community.
    Many a church have sponsored immigrants. They have provided "comfort and support" in the community.
    This is just government genocide of white, conservatives. Admitted up front.

    This is what diversity really means replacing white people with Saharan Africans if you notice in that NYT article the writer was careful of not mentioning Saharan Africans or Blacks but rather decided to use the words like students of color, etc...

    It's interesting that the article mentions the Hmong. They have settled in our area since the late 70's. Have risen in size to a little less than 3% of the total population. The young leave our area, for a 4-year college education, and are replaced by the older from more metropolitan areas. They are, for the most part, Catholic. And, yes, as people of like culture they tend to congregate in the same community. A low end community that they have transformed. But, they have assimilated.
    I've watched the movie Gran Torino and it portrays a Hmong community that is dealing with youth and gangs.
    We don't have that here. I've yet to meet a Hmong youth that is not respectful and enterprising. I've not met one that is not an ardent supporter of the second amendment. The youth say they learned the important lesson of owning firearms from their grandparents.
    But, they are a small percentage of the population. And all sponsored through their relationship with the Catholic church.
    Drop 10 or 15% of immigrants into the mix, throw them into a ghetto, and it becomes something entirely different.

    Also war helps this, think of the major waves in immigration and the majority of them came due to wars the US was heavily involved with. The Vietnamese, Hmong, Laotians, Iraqis, Somalis, Koreans and the Syrians and North Africans in Europe. End the wars and you will seriously damage this refugee to Europe/America pipeline.

    I have never see the long clip where that clip came from. I am the much talked about sub saharan African living in the US who is supposedly here to promote the multicultural society, so I really hate it when it seems like hidden hands were behind my presence here. People like this woman should be rejected by society and at minimum should not be supported by any govt.

    If anyone needs Cultural Diversity to fill in the void that would be Israel. This is why i support Palestinians over Israel.

    Went riding over Columbus Day weekend, and tried to cross the mountain pass road between Conway and Lincoln.

    Could not make it due to traffic.

    Traffic that was almost entirely Indian...must have been a quarter of a million or more...half of $#@!ing Bombay...up from Jersey and Mass and god $#@!ing knows where.

    That was the front line of the invasion that day.

    As I mentioned the Hmong (and other Asians make up about 3% of the county population.) On the other hand Hispanic/Latinos make up about 11%.
    There was once a magical place called Wilson's Creek. Particularly the lower portion where the creek was accessible spanned miles. Cool air and colder waters in the searing heat of August. Stocked by the state department. Many local families used to go to cool off, fish and grill. They would respect the place, the beauty of it's nature. Pack it in, pack it out.
    Now the locals have been displaced by Hispanics. They do not pay attention to parking areas and end up blocking the narrow gravel road. The Sheriff's office has to dedicate officers for the sole purpose of maintaining an unimpeded road. They do not "pack it in, pack it out." Instead leaving all their trash strewn riverside. Including old grills no longer serviceable. Beer cans and worse broken bottles. Oh, let's not forget soiled diapers. God forbid, they place them in a bag and take them home with them. So entirely desecrating the area locals had to start a go fund me so they could clean up the mess after the $#@!ing wetbacks bug out.
    They'd be better served with a go fund me for bullets instead of trash bags.
    Once upon a time they would have been driven from the place for their behaviuor. Now whites clean up after them like dutiful housemaids because...diversity is strength. Or some such.

    WSJ: Feds Must Import More Refugee Workers and Consumers for Business

    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...-for-business/

    NEIL MUNRO 1 Nov 2019

    President Donald Trump should expand refugee programs because they are good for employers and the economy, says Rick Snyder, former GOP governor of Michigan.
    “Employers are keen to hire refugees, who often have a strong work ethic and are eager to work overtime,” Snyder wrote in the Wall Street Journal. He continued:

    In 2016, refugees created about 2,000 new jobs and were responsible for at least $229.6 million in new spending in southeast Michigan alone. Employers are keen to hire refugees, who often have a strong work ethic and are eager to work overtime. And skilled refugees can fill critical workforce gaps—nearly 20% of likely refugees entering the U.S. have a four-year college degree or more. That’s why 36 business leaders in western Michigan recently wrote an open letter expressing their support for refugee resettlement.

    Snyder’s focus on employers’ demands allows him to slide past the growing pile of evidence that refugees and immigration force down the wages earned by American employees. The employees’ wages are forced down when imported workers prevent the creation of a tight labor market where employers must compete for workers by offering higher pay.

    "Must import more slaves and welfare voters" they mean.
    The Fed has been perverting the economy to the advantage of oligarchs and big business for generations and now that American workers are just beginning to reverse that and make some wage gains they want to flood the labor market and import big government lovers who will increase their power.

    Finish the thought Snyder...

    Employers will always hire the cheapest labor that will perform the work, it's just common sense.

    In 2016, refugees created about 2,000 new jobs and were responsible for at least $229.6 million in new spending in southeast Michigan alone.
    And just how much, pray-tell, is the bill to support all the wards of the state who find mooching a better option than working?

    Tally honestly and include all the government "workers" involved in welfare, social services and immigrant programs as well as the single mothers and their bastard children.

    The only reason these foreigners are being brought in is because government insists on feeding, housing and clothing people who refuse to work.

    The solution isn't more people and more government!

    But the depression of wages, particularly in unskilled and less skilled trades, is fait accompli. I agree that the solution isn't more government, but the solution to THAT is: End the Fed.

    US approves more H-1B visas this year

    Oct 14, 2019
    Highlights


    • US has approved a higher number of H-1B applications this year
    • 3.89 lakh applications were approved for the fiscal 2019, up from last year's 3.35 lakh
    • In past years, more than 70% of the aggregate H-1B visa applications for new jobs and visa extensions given to those born in India

    MUMBAI: The US has approved a higher number of H-1B applications (both for initial visas and visa extensions for continued employment) this year, showing that the demand for these work visas continues unabated. This is a relief to Indians, who are the dominant holders of H-1B visas, especially after processing regulations got more stringent post-2015 .

    Trump nominates Indian American to replace Kavanaugh
    WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is nominating administration official Neomi Rao to fill the appeals court seat previously held by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
    Trump’s announcement came on Nov. 13 during the White House’s celebration of Diwali, the Hindu festival of light. Rao, who is Indian American, was present at the event.
    Trump said he was nominating Rao for the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit — sometimes referred to as the nation’s second-highest court. Rao currently serves as the administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), which is part of the Office of Management and Budget.

    You could argue that Messicans come "on their own" but government is involved in European,Indian, Asian and African immigration.

    Then there's "refugees" that slick politicians don't count as immigrants...

    I don't believe Trump has done anything to reduce the 'refugees', 'foreign worker' or any other slick foot-in-the-door government controlled migration.

    He has slowed the beeners down a bit but he's making up for it with plane and boat loads.

    He has slowed the beeners down a bit but he's making up for it with plane and boat loads.
    He has done things that cut down on H1Bs and he has directly cut refugees:

    The Trump administration’s decision to reduce this year’s refugee cap to a record-low 18,000 people is just one step in its broader plan to shrink the program and make it harder for any future administration to quickly resume accepting refugees



    President Trump on Friday set a cap for the U.S. to accept just 18,000 refugees this fiscal year, marking the lowest number since the modern refugee system was created nearly 40 years ago.
    The president also announced major changes to the way the refugee program runs, creating a set-aside of 5,000 slots for refugees fleeing religious persecution, 4,000 for Iraqis and 1,500 for key Central American partner countries. Those all count against the 18,000 cap.
    The number, which the administration had signaled in late September but was made official by Trump’s determination, has been criticized by both Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill, who said the U.S. has an obligation to accept more refugees.
    Administration officials, though, argue that the U.S. already has a massive asylum backlog that it needs to work through. Refugees are those who are awarded humanitarian protections while they are outside the U.S. Asylees are those who make it to U.S. soil and then request protection from their home countries.
    But Homeland Security officials say the same adjudicators work both types of cases, and they have been overwhelmed by the surge of asylum-seekers at the border, so cutting the number of refugee cases is justified in order to give the officers a chance to eat into the backlog.


    “The admission of up to 18,000 refugees to the United States during Fiscal Year 2020 is justified by humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national interest,” Mr. Trump said in announcing the new number.
    At 18,000, the cap is 12,000 lower than Mr. Trump set for fiscal year 2019, and it’s a major reduction from the 110,000 refugee target the Obama administration tried to set for 2017.

    Thanks to Trump, the U.S. hasn't admitted a single refugee since September
