While we are still issuing those visas for unskilled labor, I think that it is a great opportunity to assign asylum workers these visas. Encourage them to find real work, etc.

Since last October, the Democratic Republic of Congo's Kasai region has been wracked by violence, leading to the deaths of many civilians.

These fatalities are the result of clashes between the army and a government-backed militia known as the Bana Mura, and a rebel group called Kamuina Nsapu.

Many villages have been burned down and it is estimated that more than a million people have been displaced in the region in the past year.

To be labelled racist in their circles IS a sort of death.

It's the end to any social currency they might have. It is to become an "unperson." An expulsion from the church of Progressivism and their circle of friends and professional contacts who all worship at the same altar, with the same dogma, speech codes and behavior rules.


It's the modern day Salem with witch-hunts. Only now its racist and "white supremacist" hunts. To deny you are a racist once accused (especially by one of the religion's high priestesses - a woman of color) ... is to admit you are a racist. The only way to forgiveness is to admit you're a racist and then work hard to find your way back into the fold by doing good works of atonenment and apology.

Criticizing what's happening at the border... even admitting there's a problem or agreeing with Trump's very sensible immigration reforms... that's definitely going to get the village talking about how you very well might be a racist.


Pretty whacked world these people inhabit, really.

Things are better in Congo now than 10 years ago, but 5.4 million people have perished in the violence there, which makes it the deadliest conflict since WW- II.

They didn’t get here by bus. That poster was clearly talking about who is financing travels to the U.S.

Catholic Charities isn’t financing them out of their own funds, they receive government grants for these services.

If only there wasn't an entire continent that people fleeing violence in the Congo could retreat to. I'm sure it's much easier to fly to Mexico and sneak across the border into the US.

When are people going to jut admit that these trans-national refugees are welfare shoppers and economic migrants?

Catholic Charities involved in the refugee trafficking are a scummy bunch of idiots. Nothing worse than people who use other people's money to buy their way into heaven and then dump the responsibility for all the "resettled refugees" onto the tax payer.

Meanwhile the do-gooder luvvies feel all warm and good and start the process again... funneling refugees into the US and federal money into their coffers.


The sad part is EVERY refugee resettled in the USA by these charities costs TEN TIMES more in resources and limited funds. The same funds that it takes to bring one here to teh US could help 10 closer to home.

Of course there are more opportunities here and the Catholic charities will finance their journey.

Not a fan of the Catholic charities getting funding from the govt.....or any religious groups.

Obviously a bunch of African immigrants are getting help. How do impoverished third world people get to Mexico? How do these people sneak across one foreign nation to gain access to another? They know not a thing about Mexico or the USA. Whoever helped them needs to go to jail. Africa is full of disease, full of violent terrorists, these people who helped undocumented and un vetted people from that part of the world get into North America put everyone in both the US and Mexico at risk. They belong in jail. Ebola is no joke, unbelievably stupid actions here.
