"Non-profit organizations that resettle migrants in the United States are slated to receive at least $750 per every refugee they help, meaning they will earn $7.5+ million from the 10,000 Syrian refugees President Barack Obama plans to resettle in America in fiscal year 2016, reported The Daily Caller.\r\n\r\n\r\n[otw_shortcode_sidebars sidebar_id=\"otw-sidebar-1\"][/otw_shortcode_sidebars]\r\nThese numbers come from the Department of State, which offers every refugee a $1,850 placement grant to cover \"pre-arrival, reception, initial housing food, clothing, referral services and social programs.\"\r\n\r\nAccording to Ann Corcoran, founder of Refugee Resettlement Watch, $750 of that gets funneled to the non-profit agency that sponsors the refugee.\r\n\r\n\"But, that is not all the contractor receives,\" she added. \"Most get tens of thousands of federal dollars to run myriad other programs through their offices including English language lessons, employment counseling, and even are granted federal dollars to develop community gardens for their refugee clients.\"\r\n\r\nKeep in mind that these 10,000 refugees represent just 14.29 percent of the 70,000 refugees in total that are to resettle here in 2016. This brings the non-profits' total earnings to $52.5 million.\r\n[otw_shortcode_sidebars sidebar_id=\"otw-sidebar-4\"][/otw_shortcode_sidebars]\r\nMind you, Obama is considering raising the cap to 85,000, which would bring the total to $63.75 million.\r\n\r\nAll this money is allegedly designed to cover the non-profits' overhead costs.\r\n\r\nHow severe could these costs possibly be, however, given that the feds are ready to pay for most of the refugees' expenses via the placement grant, not to mention welfare programs such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), food stamps (SNAP) and even Medicaid?\r\n\r\nCall me crazy and paranoid, but all this sounds awfully sketchy to me ...\r\n\r\n[otw_shortcode_sidebars sidebar_id=\"otw-sidebar-5\"][/otw_shortcode_sidebars]\r\n[easy-share buttons=\"facebook,twitter,google,pinterest,mail\" counters=0 native=\"no\"]\r\n[otw_shortcode_sidebars sidebar_id=\"otw-sidebar-2\"][/otw_shortcode_sidebars]"
