NY: As refugee contractors begin to run out of federal money, they turn to state legislatures looking for millions
Posted by Ann Corcoran on February 17, 2017
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!
