Syrian refugee numbers to soar in Nevada in
FY2017; cheap labor needed! by Ann Corcoran on October 28, 2016
We learned
about the Syrian numbers soaring yesterday from Michael Patrick Leahy at Breitbart. His
story is here. If you live in Nevada you need to
read this! We’ve
told you about the new resettlement office in Reno on several occasions.
We were
fortunate to have an advance copy of the R
& P Abstract for Reno long before the fiscal year began (back in May!). You can read
about it here and see
especially the information on the letters of support that were attached.
Besides the
University of Nevada looking for employees (janitors?), another reason given in
the Abstract was that Tesla would open its battery plant outside of Reno in
2017. Can you say a plentiful supply of federally subsidized cheap immigrant
labor needed? Just like Chobani in Twin Falls, Idaho!
It is that Reno Abstract that helped me
understand how detailed the Abstracts are and to realize that many being
reluctantly released by resettlement contractors to concerned citizens are
abbreviated versions.
Unfortunately,
unlike many communities developing ‘pockets of resistance’ (Rutland, VT for
example), it seemed there was no interest by Reno citizens to question what was
coming to their community. Maybe some will speak up now.
However, the
office is open in Reno and they are extremely difficult to close once opened
(see ‘Ten
things you need to know’).
See also our
subsequent post
on Reno’s new office here where we learned something important! The Dept. of State
has identified 47 new sites!
This is one of
the letters of support in the Reno FY2017 Abstract prepared by the US Committee
for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI, the same federal contractor embroiled in
controversy in Twin Falls, Idaho and Rutland, VT). See Link.
Here are some
of the new or expanding sites we have identified so far:
Asheville, NC
Rutland, VT
Reno, NV
Ithaca, NY
Missoula, MT
Aberdeen, SD
Charleston, WV
Fayetteville,
AR
Blacksburg, VA
Pittsfield, MA
Northhampton,
MA
Flint, MI
Bloomington, IN
Traverse City,
