    Default Immigrants & Refugees Living In China?

    The Roman Catholic Church is the gold standard for tax dollar charity hustles, but the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service does right well in the same game:


    I’m taking them one by one and going to their most recent available Form 990. This Form 990 for Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service is for 2014 and was submitted to the IRS in August 2015. (BTW, there are some state Lutheran agencies that are larger than the national organization).

    So from page 9 (reproduced below) we learn that:

    Total revenue for that year was $59,862,898

    Total federal grants were $55,341,275


    Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service is 95% funded by taxpayers

    As far as I know, every parasite running a tax dollar charity racket is supposed to help immigrants and refugees after they get here:


    LIRS has welcomed more than 500,000 refugees and migrants

    So how are Uyghurs living in China immigrants or refugees?


    While D.C. remains bitterly divided over a range of policy areas, protections of religious liberties continue to garner support from both sides of the aisle. Despite deteriorating trade talks with China, it’s essential that Congress continues to exercise their power to protect religious minorities, such as the Uyghurs, from religious persecution.

    No it is not.

    regardless of politics —it’s one of the pillars that has made this country a beacon of liberty for the persecuted

    No it is not. Freedom to work for yourself and your loved ones is the only pillar that made this country a beacon of liberty. See number 16 permalink in this thread:

    https://www.justplainpolitics.com/sh...29#post2770729

    Show me where this is said in the U.S. Constitution,


    and a global leader on human rights.

    and I will show Krish O’Mara, CEO of LIRS, constitutional Rights that do not cost a penny.


    In the last two years, the Chinese government has destroyed churches, re-written Bibles, imprisoned pastors, and severely restricted religious practices. In China’s western region of Xinjiang, millions of Uyghurs (a Muslim ethnic minority group) have been sent to internment camps where they are prevented from engaging in religious practices and are forced to devote themselves to the communist party. Extreme forms of police surveillance, including cameras and mobile apps used to spy on families in their homes and houses of worship, are becoming common practice.

    It is estimated that China has now detained over 1 million Uyghurs and subjected an additional 2 million to re-education and indoctrination programs. However, according to the Department of State data, there has not been a refugee that speaks the Uyghur language admitted into the United States since 2013, and only 28 since the year 2008.

    The United States has taken steps to condemn China for religious persecution while simultaneously neglecting the greatest tool that the country has to assist this vulnerable population. Refugee resettlement provides a new home and opportunities to families all over the world. It allows people of all backgrounds to express their religious beliefs freely in place where they will not be persecuted. It is time that Congress recognizes how crucial the US Refugee Admissions Program is and uses it to address those facing persecution in China.

    The U.S. Department of State has designated China as a country of particular concern every year since 1999.2 In light of this, Secretary Mike Pompeo presented the Potomac Declaration at the first ever Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom in 2018. This declaration condemns religious persecution worldwide and has a Plan of Action that offers steps to support religious freedom on a global scale. Critics of the Ministerial said that the plan of action and the declaration as a whole did not include specific references to China or any other country accused of persecution based on religious belief, but rather spoke vaguely of the Administration’s commitment to religious liberty.

    Additionally, members of Congress have introduced a resolution and bills in both the House and the Senate (H.R. 7384 and S. 178) to address the persecution of Uyghurs in China. These pieces of legislation would encourage the Department of State to be more involved in providing assistance to the Uyghur region of China, increasing the documentation of human rights violations, and calling out American corporations that have been complicit in such abuses.

    Although Congress and the Department of State have taken these steps to speak out against religious persecution in China, little concrete action has been taken to address the situation or to offer immediate support to those that are suffering. Refugee Resettlement has long since been a tool to assist those that are facing persecution in their home country. It has helped provide a second chance to millions of families worldwide that were fleeing for their lives. It is important that those that speak out against religious persecution in China also advocate for increased refugee admissions goals and robust funding for the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.

    It is not enough to condemn and document these injustices. Congress and the Department of State must take steps to prevent the continuation of such human rights violations. As an organization that has been active in resettling refugees for the last 80 years, LIRS urges Congress and the Department of State to truly show support for these populations and offer them a new home free from religious intolerance.

    Uyghurs are being persecuted in China — US must protect them

    Let me cut to the chase. Organized religion’s parasite freaks of every stripe are angling toward U.N. control of the U.S. Military. This touchy-feely garbage, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, means squat without taxes paying for it all combined with the U.S. Military mowing down all opposition.

    You can bet that the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service will make millions if China’s Muslims come here demanding asylum. The first thing LIRS freaks will do is cash the check. The second thing they will do is dump the Yghurs in public housing.


    What's shocking, however, is that the housing subsidies are actually the federal financing of second homes for illegal aliens. They already have homes — in their homelands. The housing they are getting here is for their second homes.

    How can we infer that? For starters, because of the remittances. Remittances are now approaching a quarter of Central America's GDP and top several billion dollars annually. They are used to finance remaining family members back home. Home? Yes, these illegal aliens have homes — very few pull up stakes entirely and place all of their eggs in the 'America' basket, given that illegal immigration means the prospect of potential deportation.

    Note that every United Nations asylum refugee is legal upon arrival.


    Legal immigrants often do it, but why would anyone do that as an illegal one? Unlike, say the average North Korean claiming asylum who has fled for his life and cut all ties to his homeland forever, these incoming migrants are coming here as a means to earn money to support households back in their home countries, and they intend to fly back and forth to them, which rather makes a mockery of the idea of 'asylum.' How can anyone who's supposedly full of 'credible fear of persecution' want to return to the scene of the supposed crime and bankroll it with remittances? According to the Wall Street Journal, a quarter of Honduran households get these remittances, and more than half the Honduran population in the U.S. is here illegally. And that's just one country — the dynamic is repeated all through the region and beyond.

    The only "religious freedom" that this administration supports is the freedom to worship Trump.
