re: #24 opnion

There is an email making the rounds that the Obama Administration is bringing Gaza refugees here. Anybody know anything about that?

Evidently that was more rumor than fact.

“According to published reports, in January, 2009, by the Associated Press, President Obama authorized an emergency contribution of $20.3 million solely for “urgent relief efforts in the Gaza Strip.” The State Department issued no statement regarding any plans or policies for immigration of Gaza refugees out of the Middle East.

The U.S. Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance (ERMA) fund was set up in accordance to the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962 where the President of the United States may determine that funds be released to aid refugees for relief and migration. President Obama issued this determination on January 27, 2009.”
