More than 90 percent of recent refugees from Middle Eastern nations are on food stamps and nearly 70 percent receive cash assistance, according to government data.
According to Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) data highlighted by the immigration subcommittee staff of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL)82%
— chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest — in FY 2013, 91.4 percent of Middle Eastern refugees (accepted to the U.S. between 2008-2013) received food stamps, 73.1 percent were on Medicaid or Refugee Medical Assistance and 68.3 percent were on cash welfare.
Middle Eastern refugees used a number of other assistance programs at slightly lower rates. For example, 36.7 percent received Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), 32.1 percent received Supplemental Security Income (SSI), 19.7 percent lived in public housing, 17.3 percent were on General Assistance (GA), and 10.9 percent received Refugee Cash Assistance (RCA).
The high welfare rates among Middle Eastern refugees comes as the Obama administration considers increasing the number of refugees — who are immediately eligible for public benefits — to the U.S., particularly Syrian refugees.
ORR defines refugees and asylees from the “Middle East” as being from Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, and Yemen.
Sessions’ staff notes that that from FY 2008 to FY 2013 the U.S. admitted 115,617 refugees from the Middle East and granted another 10,026 asylum. Additionally the U.S. granted green cards to 308,805 immigrants from those Middle Eastern countries identified by ORR as refugee nations, making them Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs) eligible to apply for citizenship in five years and petition to have family members come to the U.S.
As of 2013, Sessions’ staff notes, the top ten countries for refugee admission to the U.S. were Iraq, Burma, Bhutan, Somalia, Cuba, Iran, Congo, Sudan, Eritrea, and Ethiopia.
“More broadly, concerning all immigration, the Migration Policy Institute notes that the U.S. has taken in ‘about 20 percent of the world’s international migrants, even as it represents less than 5 percent of the global population,’ and that 1 in 4 U.S. residents is now either an immigrant or born to immigrant parents,” Sessions staff highlights, noting that the Census is projecting that another 14 million immigrants will come to the U.S. by 2025.

An average of 500 people every day for nine years have exercised their right to free movement, as migrants in Calais continue to try to make their way into Britain (top). Campaigners say the figures show the country must quit the EU to control its borders and plan properly for the future. It follows revelations of how the free movement rules have let dozens of foreign criminals commit horrific offences in Britain. In 2014 alone, 287,000 people from within the EU settled in the country, with many from Eastern Europe. Pictured are Romanian migrants camping out in Marble Arch, London (bottom).

Martin Meyer Here's an endorsement from Denmark (Scandinavia). Finally a candidate who's not politically correct and bought and paid for. Go Trump. No more liberals, no more lobbyist controlled politicians. Many people here would vote for Trump in a heartbeat if given the chance. We need safety in the world, considering the amounts of migrants at the moment. No time for being politically correct. Trump knows that, and he's taking the will of the people seriously, even though the politically correct are hating him for it. That's the kind of courage the world needs.

[h=2]How Britain is 10% more crowded after mass immigration: Figures show how population in each region has increased with wealthiest areas bearing the brunt [/h]
Figures released by the Office for National Statistics revealed that net migration - the number of people arriving from abroad minus those who have left the country - has surged and reached a staggering 107,404 in London alone in 2014. Net migration to London was more than 13 times the level in Scotland. The overall population size of London stood at 8.5million in 2014, compared to 5.3million in Scotland. The level of net migration in the capital was three times the level witnessed in the south east of England, despite London having a smaller population size. In total, 200,902 people arrived to live in London in 2014, while 93,498 emigrated. The south east saw 33,000 more migrants come in than the number who left in 2014.

Gov. Chris Christie has withdrawn the state of New Jersey from participation in the U.S. Refugee Resettlement program, and Obama administration officials are working quickly to claim the federal government can continue to resettle refugees in the Garden State.
“Federal officials held a conference call Friday morning [April 22] with representatives of nonprofit groups who help refugees resettle in New Jersey, a process that will no longer have the participation of Gov. Chris Christie’s administration,” New Jersey 101.5 reported.
Earlier this week, Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, announced that Kansas was also withdrawing from the U.S. Refugee Resettlement program.
The decisions by New Jersey and Kansas now bring the total of states who have withdrawn from the U.S. Refugee Resettlement program to fourteen.

Looks like Florida has a sheriff like Arizona has, "You kill a policeman it means no arrest...no Miranda rights...no negotiations...nothing but as many bullets as we can shoot into you...period." said Polk County Florida Sheriff, Grady Judd
An illegal alien, in Polk County, Florida, who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop, ended up "executing" the deputy, who stopped him.
The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed. The murderer was found hiding in a wooded area.
As soon as he took a shot at the SWAT team, officers opened fire on him.
They hit the guy 68 times. Naturally, the liberal media went nuts and asked why they had to shoot the poor, undocumented immigrant 68 times.
Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel: "Because that's all the ammunition we had."
Now, is that just about the all-time greatest answer or what!
The Coroner also reported that the illegal alien died of natural causes.
When asked by a reporter how that could be, since there were 68 bullet wounds in his body, he simply replied: (BEST QUOTE ever) .. ..
"When you are shot 68 times, you are naturally gonna die."
"Welcome to Florida, Y'all...
