Obama Admin Effort With Companies To Bring In Refugees | The Daily Caller:
"The White House announced last week that it is launching a “Call to Action” asking private businesses to help with the resettlement of refugees.
This could be done without regard to the government cap of 85,000 total refugees, including 10,000 Syrian refugees, in 2016.
Fifteen founding corporations have teamed up with the Obama administration on the effort.
These are: Accenture, Airbnb, Chobani, Coursera, Goldman Sachs, Google, HP, IBM, JPMorgan Chase & Co., LinkedIn, Microsoft, Mastercard, UPS, TripAdvisor, and Western Union.
...The three main facets of this private partnership program are: “education,” “employment,” and “enablement.”
...Through those two parts of the initiative refugees can be settled in the United States without limit as they wouldn’t fall under the purview of the government cap on refugee resettlement.
Through work and education visas refugees would not actually be considered as refugees for their immigration status.
...“These refugees will be coming outside the refugee resettlement program so they would not be counted under the government cap of 10,000.
These ‘alternative legal pathways or sponsorships’ will be under employment visas, training, student visas and scholarships, visiting scholars etc,” Nayla Rush, senior researcher at the Center for Immigration Studies, told The Daily Caller.
Rush added, “remember, the aim is to bring as many Syrian refugees as possible. 10,000 is the limit this [Fiscal Year] under the refugee resettlement program.
No limit to these ‘private sponsorships’, more importantly, to traceability.”
At a United Nations summit on September 20, Obama is going to push for “double the number of resettlement slots and alternative legal pathways for admission that are available to refugees, and increase the number of countries accepting significant numbers of refugees.”
