Refugee Resettlement Watch – by Ann Cocoran
According to regulations promulgated under the Refugee Act of 1980, every state resettling refugees must submit a plan to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (at HHS) and keep it current. That means every state, but Wyoming (so far).
I would like everyone concerned about the Refugee Resettlement Program to contact your state coordinator today and ask for your state’s plan.
The coordinators are listed here. Tell them that according to the 45 CFR Section 400.4 and 400.5 they should have a current plan on file.
If you get a runaround, get their address and send them a formal letter.
This ORR map gives you some idea of the number of cities with refugee resettlement offices. They got ahead of themselves and put a Casper, WY office in when that program seems to be stalled. Map is here if you want to try to get a clearer look at it:http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/orr/resource/fy2014-reception-and-placement-rp-network-affiliates-map
Here are the regulations from 45 CFR Section 400.4:
(b) A State must certify no later than 30 days after the beginning of each Federal fiscal year that the approved State plan is current and continues in effect. If a State wishes to change its plan, a State must submit a proposed amendment to the plan. The proposed amendment will be reviewed and approved or disapproved in accordance with §400.8.
From Section 400.5, this is what the plan must include:
The plan must:
(a) Provide for the designation of, and describe the organization and functions of, a State agency (or agencies) responsible for developing the plan and administering, or supervising the administration of, the plan;
(b) Describe how the State will coordinate cash and medical assistance with support services to ensure their successful use to encourage effective refugee resettlement and to promote employment and economic self-sufficiency as quickly as possible.
(c) Describe how the State will ensure that language training and employment services are made available to refugees receiving cash assistance, and to other refugees, including State efforts to actively encourage refugee registration for employment services;
(d) Identify an individual designated by the Governor or the appropriate legislative authority of the State, with the title of State Coordinator, who is employed by the State and will have the responsibility and authority to ensure coordination of public and private resources in refugee resettlement in the State;
(e) Provide for, and describe the procedures established for, the care and supervision of, and legal responsibility (including legal custody and/or guardianship under State law, as appropriate) for, unaccompanied refugee children in the State;
(f) Provide for and describe (1) the procedures established to identify refugees who, at the time of resettlement in the State, are determined to have medical conditions requiring, or medical histories indicating a need for, treatment or observation, and (2) the procedures established to monitor any necessary treatment or observation;
(g) Provide that assistance and services funded under the plan will be provided to refugees without regard to race, religion, nationality, sex, or political opinion; and
(h) Provide that the State will, unless exempted from this requirement by the Director, assure that meetings are convened, not less often than quarterly, whereby representatives of local resettlement agencies, local community service agencies, and other agencies that serve refugees meet with representatives of State and local governments to plan and coordinate the appropriate placement of refugees in advance of the refugees’ arrival. All existing exemptions to this requirement will expire 90 days after the effective date of this rule. Any State that wishes to be exempted from the provisions regarding the holding and frequency of meetings may apply by submitting a written request to the Director. The request must set forth the reasons why the State considers these meetings unnecessary because of the absence of problems associated with the planning and coordination of refugee placement. An approved exemption will remain in effect for three years, at which time a State may reapply.
(i) Provide that the State will:
(1) Comply with the provisions of title IV, Chapter 2, of the Act and official issuances of the Director;
(2) Meet the requirements in this part;
(3) Comply with all other applicable Federal statutes and regulations in effect during the time that it is receiving grant funding; and
(4) Amend the plan as needed to comply with standards, goals, and priorities established by the Director.

What’s the point of this? Enough of this ridiculous petitioning or paperwork bullshit. These elitist bastards are committing treason right in front of your face and you expect them to wave a paper showing that they are doing it? Why don’t we ask a bank robber to tell us in detail all of the money he stole and where he stole and what he plans on doing with it.
So they’re saying that it is OK for them to commit treason as long as they have the paperwork shown to us? I mean what is the purpose of this? Am I missing something?
What the hell is wrong with these people?
Stop playing around. It’s time to start taking back our country, dammit! 😡
Damn Straight!!!! DITTO!!!!!!!
Agreed! The only thing these damn lists are good for is so that the P.T.B. knows who you are and where to start looking. Count me out of any sign ups!
DOUBLE DITTO!!
Amen !!! All enemies both foreign and domestic. That was my oath. I do not want a war just my nation under Constitutional LAW.
The issue in my opinion is too many laws and laws that violate the Constitution. We are being beat to death with 1000’s of petty rules and regulations. It is said that the average American commits 3 felonies and many lesser crimes on a daily basis without ever knowing it. We must have a simple code of law that all can understand without all the legal loopholes that make lawyers rich and bleed the common people.
A return to the basic Constitutional law, a return to the Gold standard, and the return of Tariffs to protect American Jobs would make this land Exceptional once again. Those 3 things would change everything. America would lead the way into the 22nd century like we lead into the 21st if we can get our own house in order. If we continue down the path we are currently speeding down America will be remembered as the second great Republic to fall under its own weight.
I speak of the Roman Republic. I see many parallels between Rome of 2000 years ago and America today. Great are the wonders of both. We can right the course and make America strong and Free again but how? Who will lead us back to greatness?
Hate to say it, but it might not be a “Who” but a “What” , and that what could be one hell of a war that no one but them want ..who we are, can only be reactionary at this point other than being ready , and trying to show as many as we can whats headed their way , its too far down the pipe at this point, our political house should have been cleaned out long ago, it is now a festering wound feeding off all of us to the point of killing its host..
its going to be a long hang on ride if you ask me, and its just the beginning
These creatures are bringing in Syrians, and others, from
Africa countries that are muslim. They’re not vetted for
criminal or terrorist associations.They’ll also be ramping
up the numbers each year that they proceed with this plan.
The folks in the upstate are up in arms, and this topic has
been on the local radio shows for at least a week.
This short exposure time has already brought forth an
alignment of citizens, at all levels, to repel these invaders
and their handlers plans.
Not a dot in montana…did they tell the feds to ‘stuff it’?

Come to Oregon you refugees. You can shack up in the gay district known as the greater portlandia area.
You dont have to have gay sex, but it is advised if you want to find a job, parking spot, or apartment.
I recommend getting one of those dogs that look so gay, nobody will question your penile to anus ratio.
fyi, dont use words like Ms. and Mr. the tranny population gets but hurt and the “normal” gays will ban you from the parade.
