Below is a list of the suggested caps on refugee admissions for the 2023 fiscal year.
It should be mentioned that these figures exclude “the admission of spouses and unmarried children under 21 who are still abroad or are located domestically but did not accompany the principal refugee by filing a ‘following-to-join’ petition, which does not require a separate refugee adjudication for these family members overseas.”
Priority 4 (P-4) – Privately sponsored refugees – is also included in the report.
As part of its efforts to increase community involvement in refugee resettlement, the Department of State is working with the Department of Health and Human Services to develop a private sponsorship pilot program for refugees admitted through the USRAP. The program is expected to launch in late 2022.
A particular type of community sponsorship known as “private sponsorship” involves private sponsors welcoming refugees on their own, without the assistance of resettlement agency partners. They take primary responsibility for offering essential services and other necessities to recently arrived refugees in order to make their resettlement easier.
The Biden administration’s strategy for settling “refugees” in the US is to give public money to INGOs and NGOs like the UN, who handle the human trafficking operation on their behalf.
The interview that Krish O’Mara Vignarajah, head of Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services, did with NPR effectively exemplified this plan. The State Department’s Welcome Corps debut is mentioned in the January 2023 report. “a private sponsorship program that will harness the generosity and goodwill of American citizens to resettle refugees.”
According to a Welcome Corps fact sheet:
The Department of State, in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services, is pleased to announce the creation of the Welcome Corps, a new private sponsorship program that empowers everyday Americans to play a leading role in welcoming refugees arriving through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) and supporting their resettlement and integration as they build new lives in the United States. […]
The Department of State will roll out the Welcome Corps in two phases to identify, evaluate, and scale-up the most successful elements of private sponsorship as an innovative, community-led model of resettlement, with the goal of cementing the Welcome Corps as an enduring feature of our refugee resettlement system.
The Fact Sheet then lists a “consortium” of private organizations that traffic in people to enter the country.
“The Department of State is funding a consortium of non-profit organizations with expertise in welcoming, resettling, and integrating refugees into U.S. communities to support the Welcome Corps,” The Department of State observes. “This consortium is being led by the Community Sponsorship Hub, and includes Church World Service, IRIS – Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services, the International Refugee Assistance Project, the International Rescue Committee, and Welcome.US. This consortium will offer expert guidance and support to Americans joining the Welcome Corps.”
In a May 2023 article for the Heritage Foundation, Lora Ries successfully revealed and denounced the Biden administration’s unlawful immigration trafficking operation.
The Biden administration has been welcoming and releasing millions of undocumented immigrants into the nation for more than two years. The administration significantly depends on NGOs to accept, process, transport, lodge, and counsel the illegal aliens in order to achieve its aim of unrestricted immigration.
Through a number of government departments, including Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, State, and Justice, the administration provides the NGOs with billions of public cash in exchange for this migratory weaponization that is employed against the interests of the United States.
To keep their government money coming in and to divert attention from the horrifying outcomes in terms of human destruction, death, sex trafficking, forced child labor, dangers to national security and public safety, and more, these NGOs and the Left operate behind faith-based groups. Regretfully, religious institutions are more than happy to spearhead advocacy efforts to protect their sources of funding.
An immigration industrial complex worth billions of dollars has been created by what began decades ago as faith-based organizations helping the State Department resettle genuine refugees in the United States following a legal application process. Over time, these efforts have expanded to include mass illegal immigration and related activities.
Even worse, the same religious groups oppose immigration enforcement and want increased immigration to the United States. In this crooked money-changing cycle, these NGOs plainly profit financially from more immigration, despite their claims that they are just aiding needy communities.
Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) also drew attention to the Biden administration’s policies and denounced it.
“This is appalling,” he said in reaction to a John Basham article on X. “US support for the UN must end.#DefundTheUN”
Additionally, Berry Razi has brought attention to Amy Pope, the Director of the UN’s IOM and a former employee of the Obama Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Razi brought out the fact that Amy Pope’s declared role at the UN IOM is to “promote orderly, safe, and regular migration.”
According to Devex, UN IOM’s yearly operational budget is “an estimated $1.4 billion and some 9,000 staff working in over 150 countries worldwide. IOM currently has 165 Member States and a further 8 states holding Observer status.”
Investigations of UN IOM camps that aid in the admission of illegal migrants into the US have been thoroughly covered by RAV News.
On Friday, Ben Bergquam revealed that “The United Nations sent their security to try to intimidate us at our hotel in Panama City today so we decided to expose the hell out of them!”
Bergquam and his associate Oscar el Blue visited a region close to the Panama Canal that the US had to give up, called Fort Clayton, which was later transformed into a UN IOM center. After that, the RAV team located offices for more than a dozen NGOs, such as UNICEF, OIM/IOM, and the Clinton Global Initiative.
The Epoch Times spoke with investigative journalist and war correspondent Michael Yon in 2022 on the historic migration across the Darien Gap, which stretches from Panama into Columbia.
“They’re building, they’re adding on the back of it,” Yon said. “So they’re expanding this camp. There were 130,000 that went through last year between this camp and a couple of others.”
The editorial board of The New York Post commented on the humanitarian devastation brought about by the unlawful migrant trafficking that was made possible by non-governmental organizations and resulted in Laken Riley’s death.
Jose Antonio Ibarra, the suspect, entered El Paso illegally in September 2022. Indeed, unlawfully.
In contrast to what some campaigners may say, he was not a “asylum seeker.” That’s a label given to those who are escaping political or religious persecution. […]
Jose Antonio Ibarra, the suspect, entered El Paso illegally in September 2022. Indeed, unlawfully.
In contrast to what some campaigners may say, he was not a “asylum seeker.” That’s a label given to those who are escaping political or religious persecution.
But President Biden has let millions of people manipulate the system.
After crossing the border, with the guidance of nonprofit organizations, they file false asylum petitions.
Ibarra’s spouse acknowledges that their marriage was arranged “so we could join our asylum cases” and appear more empathetic, as she stated to The Post.
Their case won’t be considered in court for years, and by then, nobody will deport them even if it is denied.
President Joe Biden wrote the following in a message to the State Department in 2023: “The admission of up to 125,000 refugees to the United States during Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 is justified by humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national interest.”
On World Refugee Day in 2022, Joe Biden announced that he had set the quota at 125,000. Biden changed the yearly quota on refugee admissions to 62,500 at the beginning of 2021 from what it called a “historically low” cap of 12,500 the year before.
President Joe Biden unveiled a new refugee policy in February 2023, which opponents mockingly referred to as a “asylum ban.” The International Rescue Committee criticized the policy change, citing its advantages as part of the IOM program.
“Despite promises made on the campaign trail to overhaul inhumane policies and stop forced deportations that violate due process, the Biden Administration implemented further restrictions on asylum,” IRC remarked.
“The asylum ban bars asylum seekers who crossed through another country on their way to the southern U.S. border, unless they have previously applied for (and been denied) asylum elsewhere or managed to receive an appointment at a port of entry through a new U.S. government app for smartphones,” IRC continued.
But IRC observes that “[o]n July 25, 2023, a federal judge blocked the Biden Administration’s asylum ban, calling it ‘arbitrary and capricious’.”
However, in August, Politico reported, “a panel of three judges from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1 to put a temporary stay on a court ruling from last month that was slated to stop the asylum restrictions.”
Before the original court ruling, the far-left advocacy organization FWD.US expressed dissatisfaction, “Under the new asylum and transit ban, the number of individuals who will actually be allowed to apply for asylum is expected to drop substantially; large numbers of people will be preemptively disqualified from applying for relief, even though they have long had the legal right to seek asylum under U.S. and international law.”
The federal government submitted a move to halt the appeal in February, and it was approved. Judge Lawrence VanDyke, who dissented from the ruling, voiced harsh criticism.
“The administration’s abrupt about-face makes no sense as a legal matter,” he wrote. “Either it previously lied to this court by exaggerating the threat posed by vacating the rule, or it is now hiding the real reason it wants to hold this case in abeyance. Given its success thus far in defending a rule it has consistently characterized as critical to its control of the border, and the fact that it has to realize its odds of success in this case can only improve as it works its way vertically through the federal court system, the government’s sudden and severe change in position looks a lot like a purely politically motivated attempt to throw the game at the last minute. At the very least it looks like the administration and its frenemies on the other side of this case are colluding to avoid playing their politically fraught game during an election year.”
“This court is a legal institution, not a political one,” He continued. The Biden team begs for an explanation.
Attorney General Ken Paxton of Texas filed litigation against non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in February, citing their alleged role in promoting illegal immigration into the United States.
“The chaos at the southern border has created an environment where NGOs, funded with taxpayer money from the Biden Administration, facilitate astonishing horrors including human smuggling,” Attorney General Paxton stated. “While the federal government perpetuates the lawlessness destroying this country, my office works day in and day out to hold these organizations responsible for worsening illegal immigration.”
