The mayor has his political agenda...the safety of the town's citizens be damned.

RUTLAND, Vt. — Marble quarries known the world over once attracted immigrants to this small city tucked beside the Green Mountains. Now, a simple quest for peace and safety is beckoning a new group.
Mayor Christopher Louras has unveiled a plan, developed in near-secrecy, to resettle 100 Syrian refugees who fled the onslaught of the Islamic State and are exiled in sprawling Jordanian camps.
If approved by the State Department and others, the resettlement would begin in October and gradually send Rutland more Syrian refugees than are currently living anywhere else in New England.
The influx would be a jolt of instant cultural diversity for Rutland, where there are no mosques and no other Syrian immigrants. Most residents appear ready to welcome the refugees, mindful of the harrowing images of Syrians desperately seeking refuge outside their ravaged country.

The muslim invasion continues, brought to you exclusively by the democratic party.

Very doubtful.
Idiots. More welfare cases with islamic idiocy on top. There is no work for them in Rutland. Most will just become junkies and women haters.
Vermont is just the place for them.They can all learn to ski.
I wonder how many of the refugees are young males?
.
Why does anyone of questionable desirability have to come here? If these people are Muslim, why can’t they relocate to rich Muslim countries?
Rutland County voted over 60% for Zero and his Communist/Terrorist agenda. The city likely even higher. Ya get what ya pay fer.
>“I own it. I took the hits, and I’ll continue to take the hits,” Louras said recently at a downtown pig roast, where he helped dish out the pork to benefit a children’s museum.
The Last Pig Roast.
“Very doubtful”
I agree. They don’t welcome you if you are from RI.
The mayor has his political agenda...the safety of the town's citizens be damned.
“planning. If the proposal had been floated earlier, the mayor said, the debate would have become “about them” — meaning the Syrians, their culture, and possible links to terrorism”
That is no excuse for not having an open forum in a town, could care less if they were Irish, people should be heard and listened to regardless, pure elitist BS right there also I do have just one question, why in the hell are we helping folks across the pond, when we have Americans who even I see are on the street homeless and in need of help, we should help our own citizens first then others.
October? Genius! The height of leaf peeping season in Vermont. Nothing says don't ever come back to our area like terrorizing the tourists you depend on yearly with a bunch of scumbag islamic refugees.
Right - town prepared to give up centuries of American culture to roll over to mussies.
The duty of a Muslim is to spread Islam worldwide.
That is hard to do if Muslims are over there and us Kafirs are here.
Even if some Muslims don't want to get our Infidel blood on their hands, they help out Islam by providing cover and protection for those Muslims who want to kill us if we don't convert.
Also as a solid voting block, Muslims can help undermine our naive country.-Tom
“”the resettlement would begin in October””
Well, winter could come early for them. An especially nasty, wicked winter!!
“”the mayor said, the debate would have become “about them””
Gee - that guy is a genius! I thought for sure it would be about the Irish!
It will be your last pig roast.

If that’s his photo, he looks like one of the first ones that they will want to bend over.
From the linked article:
“A big embrace would come from Rutland Regional Medical Center, where president Thomas Huebner said he has 120 job openings. Many of those jobs — including housekeepers, food-service workers, nurses, and technicians — might be a match for the Syrians, he said.”
So what about the locals who need these jobs!!! No American citizens qualified? WTF??
