Idaho citizens defeat proposed resolution in
support of refugees Posted by Ann Corcoran on January 22, 2016
Increasingly
city and county governments are making themselves heard on the issue of UN/US
State Department refugee resettlement for their communities. We told you here recently about Craven Co. North
Carolina considering a resolution opposing more refugees. And, then here in Montana, the Missoula County Commission opened
the door for the resettlement of third-worlders from the Middle East and
Africa.
In Idaho, a
heated public meeting of the Sandpoint City Council in Bonner County in the far northern reaches of the
state resulted in the withdrawal of a resolution to support refugee
resettlement to the community.
The federal government and their paid resettlement contractors
(listed here) will be
quick to say that local governments have no right to say whether refugees are
seeded there or not. However, they do frequently say they will not place
refugees where the refugees would be “unwelcome”
If Congress was doing its job there
would be a major movement to rewrite the Refugee
Act of 1980 (or scrap it all together) in order to give local
communities a say in what happens to their counties, cities and towns. I
predict there will be increasing tension in towns across America on the
controversial issue.
And, it’s not just about the prospect
that Islamic terrorists might be in the refugee stream, there are very serious
economic costs involved as refugees (as a special immigrant class) are able to
access most forms of welfare available only to American citizens. They also add
to the shortage of low income housing often pushing poor and disabled Americans
to the back of the line.
From Boise Weekly: Sandpoint City Council members voted
Wednesday night to withdraw a resolution supporting refugee resettlement,
bringing an end to a heated, month-long controversy.
Cheers erupted from the audience when
newly elected Sandpoint Mayor Shelby Rognstad asked the council to withdraw the
resolution from consideration. A measure meant to counter statements from
Bonner County commissioners and Sheriff Darryl Wheeler opposing the
resettlement of refugees, the resolution was intended to restate Sandpoint’s
commitments to human rights, according to Rognstad.
“This resolution has only served to
divide us and this community,” said Rognstad, as he requested the withdrawal.
“That saddens me.”
Once again,
anti-refugee activists turned out in force to oppose the resolution and, once
again, the council meeting procedure was punctured by applause and shouts. When
Rognstad called for order, the crowd responded with catcalls.
‘Humanitarianism’ is a cover for big business drivers of more immigration.
For citizens of Idaho and everywhere
being confronted with this issue, please be sure to investigate and find out
what large industries are driving the resettlement where you live. Big
business including BIG MEAT, Chobani Yogurt, and other
manufacturing companies are looking for cheap immigrant labor and the federal
resettlement contractors act as ‘head hunters’ for them.
The big business pays low wages and
the remainder of the refugee family’s support comes from the taxpayer via
welfare, education and medical care. Also, find out which elected officials
are receiving campaign donations from those companies. Expose them!
