El Zorro, and the Anglican Curmudgeon and your almost humble servant have been pushing this lady's message for several months now. El Zorro sends her blog linkage and a reminder that all his followers, and mine, and the Anglican Curmudgeon must keep banging away at the million kilowatt dam, like the crazy goat in the Frank Sinatra song.
This came from one of my recent books, “Refugee Resettlement and the Hijra to America” by Ann Corcoran. She has a blog at https://
Her diligent work tracks and documents a little known (by most Americans) program that the leftists and especially Obama have been using to assist and protect immigrants without consent and oversight by Congress as was required when it was originally imposed by the Refugee Resettlement act of 1980.
Below is a chapter of the book which explains how contractors are used to run the program and funded by us, the taxpayers.
Of interest is one of the “contractors” listed below is the “Episcopal Migration Ministries” which receives funding from the government. There are four more major contractors participating in this money grab on succeeding pages but to go further here would be to copy too much of the book.
The very deceptive part of the program is that most of the immigration, hijra, is made up of Muslims.
Just thought this might be of interest to you as it was/is to me considering our upbringing in the church. It is depressing!

Below is a briefing from willamette.edu. You probably remember my mention of my subscription of such.
It is interesting that the state court wanted to deport Mellouli but the Feds did not. My suspicion is that the suspect is Muslim. I looked up the name origin and it appears this character is Muslim. It may be that he indeed is not Muslim; however, the text of the actual filing and subsequent appeal to the SC tiptoes around the origin.
The state wants this guy gone and Obama doesn’t. Further, the precedent set erodes the power of the state and the 10th Amendment by judicial legislation. To wit:
“(5) Mellouli v. Lynch
Date Filed: June 1, 2015
Case #: 13-1034
Ginsburg, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Roberts, C.J., and Scalia, Kennedy, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan, JJ., joined. Thomas, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which Alito, J., joined
Full Text Opinion: http://www.supremecourt.gov/
IMMIGRATION: A lawful alien resident may be deported if convicted of a drug-related state crime only where the drug is a federally regulated substance.
Petitioner plead guilty to a misdemeanor offense under State law for the possession of a drug paraphernalia. The 'paraphernalia" Petitioner was charged with possessing was a sock in which four unidentified orange tablets was found. Under 8 U.S.C. §1227(a)(2)(B)(i), a lawful alien may be deported if "convicted of a violation . . .any law or regulation of a State . . . relating to a controlled substance (as defined in section 802 of Title 21). Section 802, Title 21 defines a controlled substance as any 'drug or other substance' included in one of the five federal schedules. Petitioner's state defines controlled substance as any drug included on its own schedule without reference to the federal statute, including at least nine substances not on the federal schedule. The immigration court, Board of Immigration Appeals, and the Eighth Circuit all found the Petitioner subject to removal under the statute. The Court held that the text of the federal "controlled substance" statute must be followed, limiting the definition of "controlled substance" to mean a drug listed in the federal guidelines. To trigger steps for deportation, an alien must be convicted of possessing a drug or drugs that are identified as a controlled substance on the federal schedule.

My question is, why did such an insignificant case get kicked up to the Supremes if not a devious motivation?
Whatever the case, we have to be vigilant as to what the administration is trying to sneak by us.
