Jim Simpson, an activist who has worked closely with the Center for Security Policy in his effort to stop refugee resettlement efforts in the United States, said in a radio interview earlier this month that advocates of expanding refugee resettlement are in fact trying to “bring in third-world people from all over the world to dilute our culture” and make the country “unrecognizable.”

Simpson told Joe Miller, the former Alaska GOP Senate candidate turned conservative radio host, that the goal of the 1980 Refugee Act “was to bring in third-world people from all over the world to dilute our culture, to make it unrecognizable, to bring in people with no experience of American concepts of the rule of law, of individual freedom, of religious freedom, people with no concept and, frankly, a lot of people with no interest in adopting the American way of life other than to suck up welfare resources.”

This “massive Cloward-Piven strategy,” he said, referring to a 1966 essay that called for acheiving the expansion of social services by overloading the welfare system, is an attack on “the West, as it always has been with everything.”

Simpson cautioned his listeners not to be swayed by arguments about compassion for refugees, such as the millions of people who have been displaced by Syria’s civil war. “The Left, just as it does with everything, they look for the hook of compassion and trick people into believing that that’s what their agenda is,” he said, “when their agenda really is to flood this country with so many different problems, people from so many different places, that our country becomes unrecognizable.”

Simpson also shared his fellow anti-refugee activist Ann Corcoran’s theory that Syria’s refugees are intentionally immigrating in order to “settle, populate and take over all of the places where they immigrate to.”

He blasted the Obama administration for stopping towns from discriminating against mosques when Muslim immigration “destroys property values and the people that come in are just not nice.”
