Obama to Spend $4.6 Million in Taxpayer Funds to Provide “Emotional Support” to Syrian Refugees
Just another example of Obama and his backwards priorities. While Americans suffer, he wines, dines, and bends over backwards for his beloved Islamic refugees. Sadly, Hillary’s policies would not only be a continuation of this, but far worse, as she has vowed to increase Syrian Refugees to the USA by 550%.

The Obama administration plans to spend $4.6 million next year on health promotion and “emotional wellness” for refugees as President Obama plans a 30 percent increase in the number of refugees admitted into the country.
The Department of Health and Human Services issued a grant forecast last month detailing its plans to issue health care grants for refugees on top of government programs that are already available, such as Medicaid.
“The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) invites States to submit applications for Refugee Health Promotion (RHP) discretionary grant funds,” the grant forecast says. “The purpose of the RHP grant is to support health and emotional wellness among refugees. The program is designed to coordinate and promote local health and mental health services and education.”
The agency said the funding would be in addition to Medicaid and programs that provide cash and medical assistance for refugees.
“The RHP grant is intended to encourage partnerships with community-based organizations and complement existing care coordination and medical assistance programs such as Medicaid and Refugee Medical Assistance (RMA), which includes refugee medical screenings (RMS), and other ORR-funded social service programs, including Preferred Communities,” according to the grant forecast. Preferred Communities is a job placement program for refugees.
The administration said it would post an official grant announcement on Jan. 6, 2017, less than two weeks before the president leaves office. Funding would be awarded next August.
The call for increased health funding comes as President Obama plans to admit 110,000 refugees in fiscal 2017, a 30 percent increase from this year, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
The administration has already admitted 10,000 Syrian refugees this year, and is seeking “a significantly higher number” next year. The president’s plan would admit 40,000 refugees from the Near East and South Asia, including Syria.
Each refugee admitted into the United States from the Middle East costs taxpayers an estimated $64,370 to resettle.
The Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately respond to request for comment.

It justs keeps getting better..How many Americans could use emotional support? Mothers and Fathers with sick children. what emotional support are they getting,? Is it the same support the Syrians in Europe are getting to get them to stop raping. and hacking non Muslims to death, or becoming human bombs, and to train them to stop being violent? They already get $20,000, a place to live, and medical when they enter the country..What a pathetic joke,, and we are the joke for putting up with this Muslim traitor who hates America
jans Not only are we supporting them 100% – now this. We have seniors we cannot afford to eat, military personnel who have their family on food stamps, veterans who have terrible emotional problems, and etc. Is Obama helping them? Does any of this make sense? I will never understand why he was not impeached a long time ago. And Hillary will not be any better. She’s the same, but a different color and with different equipment. Why in the world are people supporting her with her track record. ‘Course we don’t have much of a choice this year. If the American people don’t some how get a handle on this, we’ll be one of them next year speaking whatever they speak. I truly feel Obama is in office to bring the US down and he’s done a pretty good job of it. Just maybe the House and Senate will keep this from going through.
This is crazy. No money to support our Vets when they return injured physically and mentally but oh yeah, dish out the goodies to “refugees”, don’t ask the American public if they think it’s ok, just do it. Yup, this administration is totally in the tank for anything and anyone not American.
Who arranges for them to get on a plane, or boat to get over here?

LAURA WILKERSON WAS TOLD THAT JOSH WEIGHED ONLY 99 LBS INCLUDING THE BODY BAG; THE BOY DIDN’T HAVE A CHANCE AGAINST THIS SAVAGE WHO WAS ILLEGALLY IN THE COUNTRY BUT OBAMA ALLOWED IN ANYWAY, EVEN PLACING HIM INTO JOSH’S SCHOOL.

NO EMOTIONAL SUPPORT FOR THE THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF OTHER VICTIM’S FAMILY MEMBERS WHO HAVE COME TOGETHER TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER, AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT WAS DONE TO THEIR CHILDREN BY ILLEGAL ALIENS; GOTO: REMEMBERANCE PROJECT LAURA WILKERSON HAD TO IDENTIFY HER SON BY LOOKING AT THE BOTTOMS OF HIS SMALL FEET….ITS THE ONLY PART OF JOSH THAT REMAINS INTACT. SHE KNEW ALL OF HIM, THO…HE WAS HER SON. MANY OF THESE MOMS AND DADS WERE ON THE VERY BRINK OF SUICIDE….NO EMOTIONAL SUPPORT FOR THEM, NOT EVEN A DAMN PHONE CALL…..THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED. AFTER THEY WROTE A LETTER TO EVERY DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, NOT EXPECTING ANY RESPONSE FROM ANY OF THEM……ONE OF THEM CONTACTED THE REMEMBERANCE PROJECT AND MET WITH THEM THE VERY NEXT DAY.
