So it begins here: U.S. city
'overrun' with criminal refugees, 'We've
got 42 languages being fielded by our 9-1-1 call centers', by Leo Hohmann,
2/2/16, WND
More than 120 people braved the snow
and ice Monday to rally in front of the Missoula County Courthouse, protesting
an effort by the Obama administration and its army of community organizers to
plant foreign “refugees” into small cities in western Montana.
One of the speakers was a woman who
moved recently to Montana from Amarillo, Texas, which has been inundated with
thousands of refugees over the past 15 years.
“Amarillo is overrun with refugees,”
said Karen Sherman, who stood and spoke to the crowd amid blowing wind and
falling snowflakes. Sherman just moved to Missoula, a college town that serves
as home to the University of Montana.
It’s a far cry from Amarillo, which
she described as a city of rampant crime and cracking social fabric, thanks to
the heavy influx of refugees sent there by the U.S. State Department in cooperation
with the United Nations.
“Our city is failing because of the
refugees. We have 22 different languages spoken in our schools. We’ve got 42
languages being fielded by our 9-1-1 call centers, and crime is just through
the roof. We need to exercise caution, especially for the sake of our
children,” she said.
The protesters carried signs that
read, “Christian Refugees 2 Christian Nations, Muslim Refugees 2 Muslim
Nations, That’s Only Fair,” and “Refugee Resettlement Means Big $$$$$ – No
Accountability.”
Sherman said Amarillo, a city of
just more than 200,000 people, has gang violence that has surpassed that
of much larger Texas cities such as Fort Worth. She fears U.S. cities like
Amarillo and Minneapolis, Minnesota, could be in line to become the next Rotherham,
England, or Cologne, Germany, or Stockholm, Sweden, where mass rapes by Muslim
men have gained much attention in Europe.
Touching off a rape epidemic
Amarillo was recently named the
fifth most dangerous city in Texas, according
to FBI crime statistics, up from sixth
last year. And it has been nationally recognized as having one of the highest
rates of rape in the nation.
That’s a dubious distinction that
Sherman believes is tied to the high number of Muslim refugees shipped there by
the U.S. government.
“The rape epidemic in this world is
becoming pandemic. It’s not confined to one location. Fifteen years ago in
Norway, rape was unheard of. Now it’s an epidemic,” Sherman said. “The
perpetrators are 100 percent Muslim males. In Sweden, rape has gone up by 500
percent. Stockholm recently had the dubious honor of opening their very first
rape center for men and boys.”
In the northern U.K. city of
Rotherham, more than 1,400 children have been beaten, raped and trafficked in a
well-documented turn of events that has gone largely unreported in the U.S.
“It was covered up by the local
government for fear of being viewed as racist. This only came to light because
a journalist decided we needed to know about that, not the government,” she
said, referring to the rape scandal that unraveled in England in 2014, when it
was revealed by media that gangs of mostly Pakistani men had been sexually
assaulting English girls for years while police covered it up for fear of being
perceived as “anti-Muslim.” “You can have female equality, or you can have
refugees. You cannot have both,” Sherman said.
Too late
to save Texas? Texas Gov. Greg Abbot has called
for a stop to the influx of refugees, but it’s too late, she said. The program
continues unabated because, if even one refugee is present in the U.S., he is
entitled under current law to bring in his entire extended family. “It’s called
family reunification,” Sherman said.
She said America, founded on Judeo-Christian principles of tolerance and respect for one’s fellow man, should not expect people from Third World cultures to share those values. “If people don’t choose to follow the law, you cannot hire enough police officers,” she said.
“Whether you believe (in the
Judeo-Christian God) or not, your values and your principles were influenced by
that. Now we’re asking that these people come here, who have been taught for
thousands of years of violence and hatred, and we’re expecting them to come
here and assimilate to our way of life,” Sherman told the crowd gathered in
Missoula. “This is a dangerous and foolish expectation.”

Amarillo has received 5,251 foreign refugees since January 2002, according to the federal refugee database. That's more than half of the nearly 8,000 refugees sent to Texas during that period.
President Obama has increased
the number of foreign refugees bound for American soil in fiscal 2016 to
85,000. That's a 20 percent increase over the previous year, and 10,000 will
come from the jihadist hotbed of Syria.
WND
reported last week that two groups are working to
resettle Syrian refugees in Montana. One group, WorldMontana, is working in Helena and the other, Soft Landing Missoula,
is working in Missoula.
Caroline Solomon drove more than 100
miles to Missoula Monday from her home in Big Fork, Montana, to participate in
the rally.
"About four people (from her
group) didn't make it because of weather, but we think there were about 125
people on our side and about six with signs calling us 'racists,'" she
said.
Softening up the soil
Soft Landing Missoula is working
with city and county officials to bring Third World refugees to Montana while
the state's Act For America chapter and other activists are trying to stop that
from happening. Soft Landing, like most of the non-governmental organizations
working with the government to plant refugees into U.S. cities, is working with
churches and faith-based groups behind the scenes to create an atmosphere that
is more "welcoming" of refugees.
Many of the community organizers
have received training or consultation from David Lubell's Welcoming America organization, which was started with seed money from
billionaire George Soros. Lubell is a close adviser to President Obama's
"New Americans" initiative, which seeks to convert millions of
refugees and recent immigrants into U.S. citizens with full voting privileges.
The modus operandi used by
resettlement agencies usually involves sending a handful of refugees at first
and then gradually increasing the influx to hundreds per year.
Mary Poole, who represents Soft
Landing, Missoula, told
KGVO News Radio that many immigrants have settled
in Missoula over the past 30 years. She compared the mostly Middle Eastern
migrants from Muslim countries like Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq to the Hmong
refugees fleeing communist Vietnam in the late 1970s and early '80s.
"We’ve successfully resettled a
Hmong community, as well as Belorussians and Ukrainians, who are now members of
our community and part of the fabric of Missoula," Poole told KGVO.
"We’re just working on revamping the infrastructure that has already
existed here."
But according to the federal
database, the state of Montana has not received any refugees since 2008, and
only 61 have been sent there since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Montana resistance follows backlash
in Idaho
Other small towns in the West have
similarly struggled to oppose the plans of urban elites to import what they see
as the problems of the Third World into their communities.
In Sandpoint, Idaho, City Council
members voted last Wednesday to withdraw a resolution supporting refugee
resettlement, bringing an end to a heated, month-long debate over whether that
was a wise move. It had the full backing of Sandpoint Mayor Shelby Rognstad.
Cheers erupted from the audience
when the newly elected Sandpoint mayor capitulated, asking the council to
withdraw his resolution from consideration. His resolution was meant to counter
statements from county commissioners and the local sheriff opposing the
refugees. Rognstad said his resolution was intended to restate Sandpoint's
commitments to "human rights." "This resolution has only served
to divide us and this community,” said Rognstad, as he requested the
withdrawal. "That saddens me."
But others see the situation in
reverse. They see nonprofits and NGOs, often flush with government grant money,
coming in and stirring up controversy within their once-peaceful communities.
In Twin Falls, Idaho, Chobani opened
the world's largest yogurt factory and gave 30 percent of the 600 jobs to
foreign refugees, and the federal government has plans to send 300 more
refugees, this time from Syria, to the Twin Falls area. That touched off a
backlash from a group called 3 Percent of Idaho, which organized a protest
at the Idaho Statehouse in late November
that attracted more than 1,000 people from both sides of the issue.
If the past record is any
indication, the groups seeking to bring Third World refugees to small town
America will not be easily chased off by people with signs.
In fact, the pro-refugee Hebrew
Immigrant Aid Society, put together a field manual in 2013 on how to deal with
"pockets of resistance" in the American heartland. One of the
strategies in that manual is to research the backgrounds of resistors and identify
them as "anti-Muslim" racists.
A WND
report from May 2015 exposed the HIAS strategy to deride
and intimidate any politician or activist who opposes the refuge industry's agenda
to change the demographics of a town.
The HIAS report, titled “Resettlement
at Risk: Meeting Emerging Challenges to Refugee Resettlement in Local
Communities," calls for "new tools to
fight back against a determined legislator or governor who has decided to
challenge resettlement for political or other reasons."
