Syrian refugees on the loose in U.S....

[lspencer534]

TV station WBRZ has reported that one Syrian refugee resettling in Baton Rouge simply walked away from the agency that was supposedly in charge of the person and the process.

“Catholic Charities helped the refugee who settled in Baton Rouge, but said the immigrant left for another state after a couple of days, and they don’t know where the refugee went since they don’t track them,” WBRZ reported.

That was not the only unpleasant surprise. WBRZ reported that until this past weekend, when state officials heard the news on TV, Louisiana officials did not even know Louisiana was already home to 14 resettled Syrian refugees, including 7 in Kenner and 6 in the New Orleans area.

“This is a federal program, and it was their responsibility, as the governor has stated, that they should have notified myself or governor directly,” said Kevin Davis, Director of the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management.

Gov. Bobby Jindal addressed this huge lapse in partnership Monday in his executive order preventing any state resources to be used in support of resettling Syrian refugees in Louisiana.

“The State of Louisiana has been denied critical information by the federal government regarding Syrian refugees already relocated into this state, creating an untenable situation,” Jindal’s executive order said. The order also calls for strict monitoring of the refugees.

Who Is a Refugee?
Article 1(A)(2) of the 1951 Convention defines a refugee as an individual who is outside his or her country of nationality or habitual residence who is unable or unwilling to return due to a well-founded fear of persecution based on his or her race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Applying this definition, internally displaced persons (IDPs) – including individuals fleeing natural disasters and generalized violence, stateless individuals not outside their country of habitual residence or not facing persecution, and individuals who have crossed an international border fleeing generalized violence are not considered refugees under either the 1951 Convention or the 1967 Optional Protocol.
