More evidence that big business is a driver of
refugee resettlement in America, by Ann Corcoran, 1/16/16
Update: Be sure to learn more about what
you should do about this during Election 2016 at American
Resistance 2016! The so-called
‘religious’ charities that resettle refugees in America and
those in the UN/US State Department administering the refugee admissions
program that is bringing tens of thousands of Muslim (and other) refugees to
your towns want you to think this is all about ‘humanitarianism.’ It is
not! The do-gooders bringing refugees to America are shills for big business
whether they know it or not!
It is about
globalization and multi-national corporations’ need for cheap migrant laborers! Did you read our
post about BIG MEAT
and Amarillo, TX just this week? It went viral and has brought thousands upon
thousands of readers to RRW! The business model is that companies, often
times companies in the food industry, encourage (lobby for!) more refugees to
be admitted to the US (or for amnesty for illegal aliens).
They get the slave
laborers, your town gets the social/ cultural tension, and taxpayers at all
levels of government supplement the meager wages with WELFARE! Dems get reliable Leftwing voters!
Rich people going to Davos to make plans for
your town!
This is what
got me started this morning. The Financial Times tells us that the founder
of Chobani Yogurt will be making a pitch at Davos this week at the World Economic
Forum for more companies to adopt that ‘business model’ and hire (read
IMPORT) more refugees to small and medium-sized American cities!
Last year Hamdi Ulukaya, a Kurdish entrepreneur who created the
billion-dollar US-based Chobani yoghurt empire, travelled to Greece to see the
swelling refugee crisis with his own eyes. Unsurprisingly, he was horrified by
the human suffering that he witnessed, particularly as he shares a cultural
affinity with many of the refugees — he grew up near the Syrian border in
Turkey, before moving to the US as a student.
But Ulukaya was also appalled by something else: the hopelessly
bureaucratic and old-fashioned nature of the organisations running the aid
efforts. “The refugee issue is being dealt with using [methods from] the 1940s
and it’s in the hands of the UN and mostly government and you don’t see a lot
of private sector and entrepreneurs involved,” he told me last week. “I decided
we have got to hack this — we have got to bring another perspective into this
issue, there are technologies that can be used.”
So Ulukaya decided to act. Last year he established a foundation, Tent,
to channel financial aid and innovation efforts into refugee work. And he has stepped up efforts to hire as many
refugees as he can at his yoghurt plants, where they currently account for 30
per cent of the total workforce, or 600 people. “There are 11 or 12 languages
spoken in our factories,” says Ulukaya. “We have translators 24 hours a day.”
At next week’s World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos, he will
call on other CEOs to join a campaign to channel corporate money, lobbying
initiatives, services and jobs to refugees. Five companies have already signed
up: Ikea, MasterCard, Airbnb, LinkedIn and UPS — and Ulukaya says more are
poised to join.

Gillian Tett quotes me, and mentions protests in Idaho and New York where
Chobani is bringing in the refugee laborers. See our complete archive on Twin Falls, Idaho and the ‘pocket
of resistance’ that has formed there.
P.S. When I
first learned about what Chobani Yogurt was doing to rural America (here), I never again bought any Chobani Yogurt! I go
down that dairy aisle and give them a mental finger (sorry to our more proper
and polite readers).
