US Opening Refugee Intake Centers in Middle East

The U.S. apparently has a refugee problem.

There simply aren't enough refugees coming from unstable regimes in the Middle East, and the Biden administration aims to fix that problem. That's why it is opening two new refugee processing centers in the region.

Diversity is our strength and all, and there aren't enough people screaming "DEATH TO AMERICA" in our cities. Without a steady and increasing stream of Islamists, we won't have enough violent hate crimes to blame on White supremacists. 

WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced the upcoming opening of international field offices in Doha, Qatar, and Ankara, Turkey, to increase capacity for refugee processing, strengthen strategic partnerships, and facilitate interagency cooperation.

“Opening these field offices establishes a USCIS presence and expertise in critical locations in the Middle East and is part of our commitment to the Biden-Harris administration’s efforts to facilitate safe, lawful, and orderly migration and family reunification,” said USCIS Director Ur M. Jaddou. “Our presence in Qatar and Turkey expands USCIS’ footprint outside the United States, supports our humanitarian mission, and strengthens the integrity of the U.S. immigration system.”

The Biden-Harris administration set the refugee admissions ceiling for fiscal year 2024 at 125,000 refugees. Establishing USCIS field offices in Qatar and Turkey will support the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program’s infrastructure in the region. It also will directly support long-established and increasing USCIS refugee processing circuit rides.

That 125,000 limit is a joke. All those people being admitted at our border aren't being included in that number, and they total in the millions. "Asylum seekers?" "Refugees?" In most people's minds, they are equivalent, and this is just splitting hairs. 

Of course, since the border crossers aren't fully processed, they may not count. Good dodge, if true. Admit millions, call it 125,000. It would be just like federal spending, where the numbers never add up and America's future gets mortgaged because politicians won't look out for our future. 

USCIS staff will assume responsibility for processing Form I-730, Refugee/Asylee Relative Petition, from State Department consular staff, assist with certain fraud detection-related activities, and provide other limited services. Services at both locations will be available only by appointment. USCIS will update the International Immigration Offices webpage to include information about the field offices, services and appointments.

With the opening of the Doha Field Office on May 7, 2024, and the Ankara Field Office on May 9, 2024, USCIS will have 11 international field offices. Other international field offices include Beijing; Guangzhou, China; Guatemala City; Havana; Mexico City; Nairobi, Kenya; New Delhi; San Salvador, El Salvador; and Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

That Form I-730 they mention? It's so each "refugee" can bring along even more refugees once they get admitted. That way, the Biden administration can admit vastly more migrants from the Middle East, using "family" connections as the basis. Admit one, get seven or eight. 

No doubt there are some legitimate refugees, but as you can see from Europe's acceptance of Syrian refugees, it doesn't tend to work out well for the host country. Ask Germany, Sweden, or France how much they love hosting Middle Eastern refugees. 

You can never have enough Keffiya-wearing protesters in the streets. 

It is well past time to get hard-headed and, yes, hard-hearted about importing people from countries with vastly different value systems than ours. It has been a disaster for Western countries, with crimes against women being the worst problem, although Sweden has such a violent crime problem that bombings are a regular occurrence

Do we need more Dearbornistans in the US? More people with different ideas of what age is appropriate to start schtupping kids? 

Clearly we aren't integrating immigrants fast enough, creating a "digestion" problem. There are limits. It's one thing to be open to new people; it's another to destroy our own culture to do so.

Americans have been quite clear about how we feel about the flood of new people coming into our country, and the Biden administration has been quite clear that we can all bend over and take it. 

If the feds are going to keep this up, we should institute a new rule: all new migrants will be housed next to the feds who let them in. I am even willing to build new housing in lovely areas dedicated to mixed housing: federal employees and migrants. We can put the first refugee housing on the White House lawn.
