STEVE ROBINSON: You might consider Catholic Charities to be a human trafficking organization because that's what they do. They get paid, they make huge amounts of money to take people who've crossed the border illegally and distribute them throughout the United States

Steve Robinson is Editor-in-Chief of The Maine Wire.In this interview, he discusses Catholic Charities of Maine and similar NGOs involved in migrant resettlement, Somali refugee efforts, and related taxpayer-funded programs. He is speaking in his capacity as the investigative journalist and Editor-in-Chief who runs and reports for The Maine Wire, a Maine-focused independent news outlet known for covering political corruption, immigration, and NGO issues.
Refugee resettlement?  

Refugee resettlement : A formal U.S. program (U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, or USRAP, established by the Refugee Act of 1980) where eligible refugees — already outside the U.S. and often in a third country — are vetted overseas (multi-agency security checks, interviews, biometrics) and admitted legally as refugees. They arrive with pre-approved status, work authorization, and access to initial support services via the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). After one year, they can apply for permanent residency (green card), leading to citizenship.

from Steve Robinson, 

The Maine Wire reveals Catholic Charities has absolutely nothing to do with anything Catholic, it’s just a NGO front to import illegals He says there are multiple fake church NGOs that Democrats paid TENS OF BILLIONS to import illegals “There is a deliberate effort to resettle the Somali refugees by groups like Catholic Charities. So Catholic Charities makes a huge amount of money moving people, migrants, around to places in the country that don't necessarily vote to have that happen. By one lens, you might consider Catholic Charities to be a human trafficking organization, because that's what they do. They get paid, they make huge amounts of money to take people who've crossed the border illegally and distribute them throughout the United States. — Catholic charities doesn't really have anything to do with being Catholic. It's just a nonprofit that makes a ton of money and has some kind of affiliation with the Catholic church. But the Lutherans do this as well. There's tons of organizations that are in this migrant resettlement business and they cloak it in... How big is the business?

Billions. Billions — I mean, tens of billions of dollars. I mean, during the Biden administration, the amount of money that was dumped into these, it starts to be mind numbing amounts of money that are dumped on these organizations.“

They say that by 2030 there will be a majority Muslim population in Europe, and they'll just flat out vote in Sharia law. And it won't just be no-go zones where they take over entire neighborhoods in Paris or around Belgium, London. No, they'll take over entire cities.

And people forget, Egypt was completely Christians for 6 centuries, 600 years. It's not anymore. All of North Africa was completely Christian for six centuries. It's not anymore.

All of Turkey, all seven churches mentioned in the book of Revelation we're all in Turkey and they were all taken over by the Muslim Turks.

Constantinople was the largest Christian city in the world. And the largest Christian Church in the world for hundreds of years was the Hagia Sophia, and it got turned into a mosque. And and so they want to do the same thing with the Vatican. And recently they allowed . . . Muslim prayers in the Vatican. So we see that it's headed in that direction. And the tremendous number of burning churches in Europe have happened since Islamic immigration.

LEONARDA JONIE: I cannot describe the level of seething hatred coming off this AZTEC-AMERICAN

The people with money are avoiding the mass immigration problem by avoiding big stores.

Eventually it risks becoming like South Africa - citizens locked safely in their home-prisons and shopping in exclusive stores. Only criminals able to roam free and shop anywhere. https://t.co/Yjk2ZbtoBB pic.twitter.com/7uXuTIsJNN

This is grim and true. Every experience easily confirms this.

I walked into a Walmart today in Texas and I asked the greeter where the nail clippers were. My first mistake was assuming that a Walmart greeter in Texas could speak English. He looked at me like a confused animal that didn't realize anyone could see him. So I headed in the direction of where I thought nail clippers were and found them, locked behind glass. My second mistake was assuming this was going to be an easy process. I looked around for the employee who could unlock the glass. Another employee, another Mexican, stocking the shelves pointed him out to me as I would never have figured out this person worked there. I walked over to him and POLITELY asked him if he could unlock the glass. I cannot describe the level of seething hatred coming off this AZTEC-AMERICAN. He stopped what he was doing and looked at me with pure, unadulturated hatred as if I had just interrupted his life by asking him to do LITERALLY HIS JOB. So great was his anger that he didn't even answer me. He just stopped what he was doing, looked at his phone to check the time and make sure he was still on the clock, and then walked over, opened the gate, allowed me to grab my nail clipper, closed the gate and walked back off without saying anything. Well, he didn't say anything OUT LOUD. But this man made his thoughts known very clearly on his face. The only thing keeping these people from openly murdering us is the SEMBLANCE of civilization that still exists. And the only reason he felt that way was because he clocked me as a WHITE WOMAN and therefore, his racial enemy.

ARCHEOHISTORIES: Between 1880-1930, Brazil encouraged the arrival of more than 4 million European immigrants, mainly Italians, Portuguese, Germans, and Spaniards, to work on plantations and in cities.

Slavery in Brazil officially ended on May 13, 1888, when the "Golden Law" was signed, abolishing slavery in all its forms. Brazil was the last country in the Americas to abolish slavery. --Wikipedia

After slavery ended, Brazil launched a campaign called blanqueamiento, meaning to "whiten" the country. Between 1880-1930, over 4 million Europeans were brought in and interracial marriage was encouraged to reduce Black and Indigenous ancestry over time.

After slavery was abolished in Brazil in 1888, the country’s leaders feared the newly freed Black majority and sought to reshape the nation’s population. They promoted “blanqueamiento” (whitening), a state policy rooted in racist ideology that aimed to reduce the presence of Black and Indigenous people through immigration and mixing with Europeans. Between 1880-1930, Brazil encouraged the arrival of more than 4 million European immigrants, mainly Italians, Portuguese, Germans, and Spaniards, to work on plantations and in cities. The government believed that interracial marriage would gradually “dilute” African and Indigenous ancestry, producing a whiter population over generations. This policy was even supported by intellectuals of the time, who framed it as a path to “progress” and “modernization.”

WHITE PAPERS POLICY INSTITUTE: They can bring their adult children, the parents, their siblings, who can all then bring their spouses who can bring their parents and siblings. This is how entire Laotian villages end up in places like Minnesota.

This is something more Americans need to share with eachother, because our media and leadership simply don't tell us:

The majority of immigration is family migration. It is chain migration.

~70% of visas & Green Cards are issued to the family of immigrants.

WHITE PAPERS POLICY INSTITUTE: The "Patel Motel Cartel"

American motels went from 100% American-owned to at most 40% American-owned since 1965—and your taxes paid for it.  White Papers Policy Institute

And The DEI Loans That Displaced Heritage Americans From The Motel Industry. By @JMF1958.  

Recently an Indian-American named Patel tweeted this:

There are, according to him, 40,000 members of his specific caste (Leuva Patidar Samaj) in the US, and he says

Everyone from a part of Gujarat and same way of life in the US Literally everyone here owns a motel or gas station in rural America.

This is not an accident—this is called the “Patel Motel Cartel” from a 1999 NY Times magazine article by Tunku Varadjaran.

The subhead of A Patel Motel Cartel? —note the question mark—was:

No, but you might think so if you've stayed in a motel lately. More than half of American motels are now owned by Indians, mostly from a specific subcaste.

Didn’t American motels used to be owned by, you know, Americans? What happened.

There are two factors.

Ethnic specialization: the caste they’re a member of (mostly with the last name Patel) have been innkeepers and businessmen in India for centuries. There are a total of 150K Patels in the US—the 40K above is a subcaste of a subcaste.

DEI/Affirmative Action/Minority preference loans: The SBA lends hundreds of millions of dollars, up to $5 million at a time, to minority entrepreneurs—including Indian-Americans, who have NEVER been officially discriminated against.

Most of them arrived in America after the Immigration Act of 1965, which was passed one year AFTER the Civil Rights Act made all official discrimination against minorities illegal.

But that same year, President Lyndon Johnson, who signed the 1965 Immigration Act, made a famous and consequential speech at Howard University, which is credited with the birth of Affirmative Action—conscious discrimination in favor of blacks, and against whites.

In The American Scholar, William M. Chace (who likes affirmative action) writes:

In his 1965 commencement address at Howard University, President Lyndon Johnson declared, “You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, ‘you are free to compete with all the others,’ and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.” The affirmative-action approach President Johnson proposed in that speech was to be a moral and policy response to the losses, both material and psychological, suffered by African Americans during and after the time of slavery: “We seek not just freedom but opportunity—not just legal equity but human ability—not just equality as a right and a theory, but equality as a fact and as a result.” Johnson’s speech was followed in 1965 by executive orders aiming “to correct the effects of past and present discrimination.” Affirmative Inaction Opposition to affirmative action has drastically reduced minority enrollment at public universities; private institutions have the power and the responsibility to reverse the trendBy William M. Chace, December 1, 2011

But in 1965, there were almost no Patels in America to be discriminated against.

But if you go to, say, the National Minority Supplier Development Council website, and click through to see who gets to call himself a Minority Business Entrepreneur, one of the photos is this guy:

In a January 30, 2002 article, called "Why Not Just Give Them A Roomful Of Gold? Or: Immigration – Just Another Government Program," for VDARE.com, I wrote

But what about the much-publicized virtuous immigrants – who get jobs, start businesses, own homes etc. etc.?Well, it turns out that the government is subsidizing them too. Recently, I found an email in my inbox saying that the reason so many small motels are owned by Indian immigrants named Patel (click here for a PDF report on the business drawbacks of this form of immigrant enterprise) was because the US government was financing them. I didn’t believe it. I cynically assumed it was some kind of legend, made up by people who don`t like immigrants.I should have been more careful where I pointed my cynicism. I should have kept it aimed at the US Government, where it belongs.

I quoted a a 1995 Forbes story about Hospitality Franchise Systems by Joel Millman, in which Millman, who was enthusiastic about this phenomenon wrote:

Nor were the immigrants shy about cashing in on U.S. affirmative action programs. Though in no sense disadvantaged, Patels qualified as a "minority" and tapped below-prime financing offered by the Small Business Administration. [Emphasis added]

Imported Entrepreneurs,

Forbes, November 6, 1995

When Indian-American journalist Tunku Varadjaran wrote his Patel Motel Cartel article in 1999, he said that “More than half of American motels” were owned by Indian. The most recent figure is 60 percent, or three-fifths.

Accounting for 34,260 hotels across the United States, Indian Americans owned hotels account for 60 percent of all hotels in the U.S., according to a new study conducted by Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA) in partnership with Oxford Economics, a global leader in forecasting and quantitative analysis. The study analyzed the share of U.S. hotels and rooms owned by the members of AAHOA, which is predominantly made up of Indian-origin hoteliers, hotel operations, hotel guest ancillary spending, capital investment, and indirect and induced impacts supported by AAHOA hotels in other parts of the U.S. economy.

Indian-Americans Own 60 Percent Of Hotel Industry In U.S.

By Ajay Ghosh,

, August 10, 2021

As you can see, this study was paid for by the

Asian American Hotel Owners Association.

(Asian here means Indian, not Chinese)—the kind of ethnically exclusive association that whites are simply not allowed to form.

So American motels went from 100% American-owned to at most 40% American-owned since 1965—and your taxes paid for it.
