Hard information on the phony refugee (“The children!”) surge at the Southwest border is hard to come by. This is true even if you’re a congressman — when Jim Bidenstine (R- OK) showed up at a holding camp in his home state he was stonewalled.Meanwhile, the immigration patriots in Murrieta, California were able to repel one day’s “consignment” of illegal aliens, but the feds sneaked in a partial shipment in the wee hours, after the patriots had gone home. See Murrieta’s Cliven Bundy Moment, by Murrieta resident Douglas V. Gibbs, July 3, 2014
And as Congressman Steve King [R-IA] ruminated darkly about the border situation a few days ago, “We don’t have provisions in the Constitution to handle a president like this. The final decision is going to be decided by the people, either in ballot box or in the streets.”
Between the ballot boxes (months away) and “the streets” (rare to nonexistent in American history) there’s citizen pressure on our despotic elites and their kept bureaucrats.
This is where VDARE.com readers come in. Are swarms of “The children!” coming to your state?
If they are, your state’s refugee coordinator will probably be among the first to know. So phone “your” coordinator — contact information is below — and, politely, ask basic questions such as Where? When? How Many? and What’s it going to cost state and local taxpayers?
If you feel awkward about asking such questions … if you feel that you need to be able to explain why you’re calling … you have a ready motive: the news that’s in our faces every day.
The week starting Monday, July 7 is the time to phone, as VDARE.com has learned that at least some of the coordinators will be on a conference call with the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement during the week. It will help if the coordinators are made to understand that many of their fellow citizens are very concerned.
If you learn anything when you make such a call, consider writing a brief factual summary and emailing it to VDARE.com at .
Unless you indicate otherwise, such input won’t be linked to your name.
