I’ve been saying it for years—that we, taxpaying American citizens, are subjected to unnecessary expense, societal upheaval, and not to mention danger, when the US State Department uses the Refugee Admissions Program for leverage when it wants to pressure (or reward) some other country by ‘welcoming’ the unwanted.
Nezer: “It’s a bargaining tool: We’ll take a certain number of refugees. These are the things you will do for us.â€
Earlier this month, I reported confirmation of refugees as bargaining chips—a stunning admission out of the mouth of a refugee contractor.
One such case during the Bush era involved trouble-making Uzbeks.
