President Barack Hussein Obama, in a determination letter to Congress, has announced that he will allow an additional 80,000 immigrants – - mostly from Islamic countries – - to resettle in the United States during fiscal year 2011.
Mr. Obama says that the increase in Muslim immigrants “is justified by humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national interest.”
The following “goals” for new immigrants has been set as follows:
Africa . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15,000
East Asia . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19,000
Europe and Central Asia . . . . . . . . . . 2,000
Latin America/Caribbean. . . . . . . . . . . 5,500
Near East/South Asia. . . . . . . . . . . 35,500
Unallocated Reserve . . . . . . . . . . . . 3,000
Refugee Resettlement Watch and other organizations have expressed grave concern that Mr. Obama is allowing so many immigrants into the country while so many Americans remain out of work and living in poverty.
According to the US Department of Labor, 14.8 million Americans remain unemployed. 6.1 million have been out of work for 27 weeks or over.
This figure has been challenged by the Union of the Unemployed who provide statistics that the actual number of unemployed Americans is 31 million.
The U. S. Census Bureau shows that the median household income for Americans has fallen to $49,777 – - a decline of 0.7% in the past year.
One in seven Americans no longer can feed themselves.
According to The Wall Street Journal, 14.3% of the American people live in abject poverty.
A refugee is defined by The US Department of Immigration and Naturalization as someone who has left one’s country due to persecution or a fear of persecution.
This accounts for the sharp rise of Somali communities throughout the country.
However, the definition of refugee is ‘fudged’ in several cases. “Refugees” who have not left their country due to persecution, according to Mr. Obama’s determination letter, can still be called “refugees” if they are from Iraq, one of the Islamic countries of the former Soviet Union, or Cuba.
According to Section 413 (a) of the Immigration and Nationalities Act, the Office of Refugee Resettlement is required to submit an annual report to Congress on the activities of the refugees.
The report is supposed to include the number who are on public welfare programs.
But no report has forthcoming from the Office of Refugee Resettlement since 2007.

Record 42 million Americans on food stamps including 1 in 8 Wisconsinites
Of the estimated 56,000 residents of Oneida and Vilas counties, approximately 6,000, just over 1 in 10, are on food stamps, new statistics show.
Statewide, 1 out of 8 people, adding up to nearly 760,000 of Wisconsin’s 5.6 million residents are FoodShare recipients, according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS).
DHS says the number of people on food stamps has climbed about 8 percent from January 2010 and around 25% from the summer of 2009.
The sobering numbers also show that in the past decade, the department’s FoodShare caseload has more than tripled from a low in 1999 to a record high currently.
In January 2010, DHS figures reveal that 3,822 people in Oneida County were receiving food stamps, a number that grew to 4,176 as of August 2010, the latest month compiled. In Vilas County, 1,747 people were on food stamps last January, a figure that now stands at 1,827. There are about 36,000 residents of Oneida County and 20,000 in Vilas County -- populations that fluctuate a bit due to seasonal adjustments.

The increases are yet another sign of tough times for low income and fixed income families and for individuals who have lost their jobs, are retired or disabled and not able to work. DHS says FoodShare Wisconsin was created to help people with limited funds buy nutritious food and prevent hunger.
The food stamp is a federal government program run by state and local agencies. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported the number of Americans receiving food stamps rose to a record 41.8 million in July as the jobless rate hovered near a 27-year high. The cost to taxpayers: $56 billion in 2009.
Recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program subsidies for food purchases jumped 18 percent from a year earlier and increased 1.4 percent from June, the USDA said. Participation has set records for 20 straight months.
The government says anyone can apply for food stamps. To get food stamps, you and the other people in your household must meet certain conditions. Everyone who is applying in your household must have or apply for a Social Security number and be either a U.S. citizen, U.S. national or have status as a qualified alien.
For the month of August 2010, Wisconsin DHS doled out nearly $90 million in food stamp benefits.
