SAY NO!
Despite the staggering costs of imposed "refugee resettlement," (see below) far too many of our elected officials continue to give away more and more of our hard-earned tax dollars to sharia-adherent groups and individuals. This money ultimately ends up funding jihad - war against non-Muslims - jeopardizing all that we love and cherish. We have listed a few of the bills, their authors and the costs to tax payers. Just say NO!

THE EXISTING FINANCIAL BENEFITS PROFILE FOR SOMALI IMMIGRANT FAMILY IN WILLMAR, MN
(by Bob Enos)
Two parents with seven minor children, one parent likely working in meatpacking earning a maximum of $12 per hour for a 30-hour work week:
Total wage income: $18,720
. With exemptions and deductions totaling $49,150, there is no tax liability.
“Earned income tax credit” eligibility: $6,318.
The income threshold for poverty guidelines in Minnesota for a family of nine is about $45,900 annually. The family’s income is only 41% of the federal poverty level.
There is virtually NO poverty entitlement program for which they are not eligible.
Health Care:
The father, being a part-time employee, is provided with Medicaid family health insurance. Conservative estimate of insurance premium value of $1,000 per month. Health care value is
$12,000 annually
.
Housing:
Subsidized housing for a four-bedroom apartment is about a $1,000 per month, or
$12,000 annually.
Education:
Teaching non-English learners costs about 50% over mainstream education. In Willmar, mainstream student costs are about $6,000 annually; for the refugee student, about $9,000, or
$21,000 annually
more for seven children.
Federal supports and sundries:
The federal Refugee Reception and Placement Program contracts with the nine “faith-based” groups (VOLAGS) to relocate and place the family over a 30-day period, for $2,225 per person.
Total RRP tab for this family: $20,025.
Minnesota’s “Diversionary Work Program” provides up to $70 per person to cover expenses including shelter, utilities, phone allowances, and other “personal needs”. Total expense for the Mohammed family:
$630 a month
, or the Minnesota Family Investment Program whichever is less. For a family of just two, the cash portion of the MFIP is $408 per month eligible for 5 years. 43% of their earned income is disregarded when determining the net income for benefits.
The state Refugee Cash Assistance program would pick up the any slack with a monthly standard of $437 for a childless couple. A family of nine would be at least twice that.
Other existing financial benefits
: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a/k/a food stamps; cash assistance for aged, blind, or disabled refugees through federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) an Minnesota Supplemental Aid (MSA); refugee health screening for communicable and infectious diseases; employment services; English-language learner classes.
