SOMALIA: Bantu refugees being prepared for life in the US

NAIROBI, 6 Feb 2003 (IRIN) - The first Somali Bantu refugees will probably reach the United States this spring after the US agreed to take them in, according to a report released by the US State Department on Wednesday.

Once they arrive in the US, "they will be placed in in extended family groups in up to 50 cities and towns across the US throughout 2003 and 2004", the State Department report said. Each family would then be assigned to one of 10 voluntary agencies, which would "assist with basic immediate needs such as housing, furniture, clothing, food, and referrals to employment".

These agencies are Church World Service, Episcopal Migration Ministries, Ethiopian Community Development Council, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, Iowa Bureau of Refugee Programs, Immigration and Refugee Services of America, International Rescue Committee, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and World Relief Refugee Services.

US taxpayers need to start filing class action suits against the growing list of “volunteer agencies” dealing in these scams. They’re generously funded by the US government to acclimate their “clients” which they do for a brief period. Then they dump them on the local communities’ welfare rolls and start looking around for a new batch of sob stories to import and profit from.

Looks like the USA foreign aid budget to fight AIDS will be reduced to 9.9995B with these entries.

Course, welfare costs will go up here.
