Immigration/Border / Biden Admin Expands Paths to Muslim Refugees with USCIS Announcement
« Last post by Elderberry on Today at 11:11:55 am »UNCOVERDC by: Wendi Strauch Mahoney 04/25/2024
The Biden administration officially takes its immigration services to the root of Muslim migration with the expansion of international field offices. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on Apr. 23 that it is opening new international field offices in Doha, Qatar, and Ankara, Turkey, to "increase capacity for refugee processing, strengthen strategic partnerships, and facilitate interagency cooperation." USCIS Director Ur M. Jaddou stated:
"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. 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 USCIS announcement should come as no surprise to those closely following this administration's open-border immigration policy. In September, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced plans to meet the ceiling of 125,000 refugee admissions for FY 2024, including exponentially increasing resettlement efforts for migrants from Latin America and the Caribbean.
New offices and personnel in Qatar and Turkey will support previously established international U.S. Refugee Admissions Programs. The expansion will beef up infrastructure and help to increase USCIS "refugee processing circuit rides." Circuit rides are asylum interview locations. 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."
Qatar and Turkey are predominantly Muslim nations whose mores and customs vastly differ from those in Western cultures. In many cases, promoting migration from countries like these will likely impact national security because of sparse documentation. In addition, fluid assimilation with U.S. culture in these migrant populations can be enormously challenging for migrants and the communities in which they settle.
Typically, immigrants coming to the U.S. are expected to assimilate, embrace, and adapt to the prevailing American culture and mores. However, it is becoming increasingly common for some immigrants to acculturate rather than assimilate in some countries. "No-go zones" are more common in large cities in European countries like Paris and London because of the propensity to acculturate, especially in Muslim populations.

Texas / UT Demonstrates It’s Not Columbia, Arrests Pro-Hamas Protestors
« Last post by Elderberry on Today at 10:55:19 am »Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog 4/25/2024
If you follow news on conservative blogs, you’ve probably read about antisemitic riots roiling liberal campuses like Columbia, where Jewish students have been assaulted or threatened by Hamas supporters who loudly proclaim their desire to “destroy Zionists” throughout the world.
The usual gang of idiots tried that at the University of Texas and quickly found out that Texas isn’t New York.
More than 20 people have been arrested, including a FOX 7 Austin photographer, by law enforcement on the University of Texas at Austin campus Wednesday.
UT Police have issued a dispersal order directing everyone to leave the South Mall area immediately.
Hundreds of students walked out of class Wednesday to rally for Palestine and attempt to occupy the South Lawn on campus.
The students gathered on the South Lawn and set up tents while chanting “Free Free Palestine” and other slogans, including ones aimed at the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and even Austin police.
DPS said in a release on social media that it responded to the campus at the request of the University and at the direction of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott “in order to prevent any unlawful assembly and to support UT Police in maintaining the peace by arresting anyone engaging in any sort of criminal activity, including criminal trespass.”

Editorial/Opinion/Blogs / “The Five” Co-Host Says He’ll Sue Obama for “Forgery”
« Last post by Elderberry on Today at 10:46:55 am »The Post & Email 4/25/2024
Fox News’s Thursday edition of “The Five” opened with a discussion of the U.S. Supreme Court’s hearing of oral argument in a case appealed by leading 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump from the DC District Court of Appeals claiming his actions while in the Oval Office should be protected by presidential immunity.
Trump was indicted for the “crimes” of allegedly attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election through a conspiracy and retaining “classified” documents the National Archives and Justice Department claimed he should have relinquished after he left office on January 20, 2021.
Trump denies all of the charges.
Each co-host of the program spoke briefly on his or her thoughts on the high court’s hearing earlier today. When it was Jesse Watters’s turn, he remarked that if the court did not uphold the concept of presidential immunity, he would “get a lawyer” and sue Joe Biden for the reported deaths of thousands of birds from wind turbines and other perceived transgressions since Biden took office, adding, “…and then I’ll sue Obama for forgery because we all know the birth certificate wasn’t real.”
