The character of the city of Rutland, Vermont is facing major change. Nestled in the beautiful Green Mountains of Vermont, it is an unsuspecting city targeted for refugee resettlement. After being kept in the dark since their mayor’s unilateral decision to accept 100 Syrian and Iraqi refugees in October, Rutland citizens should investigate the threatening impact that refugee resettlement has on their own public security, economic stability and community health before it’s too late.

The city of Rutland was chosen as the site to place refugees by the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI), one of the nine major federally-funded refugee resettlement contractors or voluntary agencies (volags), and its local affiliated field office or subcontractor, the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program (VRRP). According to Ann Corcoran of Refugee Resettlement Watch, once a site is chosen for resettlement, the agency submits an annual resettlement plan to the State Department in order to receive federal funding of nearly $2,000 per refugee sponsored in addition to federal grants of up to $2,200 per refugee sponsored. Refugee resettlement has become a billion dollar industry, according to investigative journalist James Simpson, a former economist and budget examiner for the White House Office of Management and Budget.

There is no industry in Vermont to speak of. The top three major employers in the state are:
IBM = 5400 employees
US Army = 5000 employees
University of Vermont Medical Ctr. = 5000 employees
After that it drops off to 2000 employees for number 4, Killington grand resort then 1500 for number 5, Jay Peak Ski Resort.
After that it is all bartenders, housekeepers and wait help with a few health care jobs.
When they list industries, farming is near the top of the list but there are no farms listed in the top 25 employers in the state.
Yes it is. But I can’t ski anymore and hunting and fishing, not to mention boating, is much better here in SE Alaska.
ALso not far from Canada, I remember crossing over while prior to skiing Jay to get some Brador, back in the days when the USA didn’t have 6.4% beer
Visited friends in North Shrewsbury to do some skiing at Killington, Skye, and Okemo during the late80’s-mid90’s. Magnificent scenery, but a hard life for the locals. Similar to Maine where I have family. They told me that back then the natives were already starting to be made a minority by invading leftists from NJ/NY.

Are you for forced integration?
WE are, at least for a bit yet, a free-will country. People move where they want to. For different reasons.Some people prefer big cities and big city life.
Some prefer the opposite.
ANY kind of forced, manipulated integration brings a plethora of problems - for all concerned.
And just who are the god-like people who get to decide the numbers of each ethnic group a community must have? And then who gets to choose the individuals who will be moved to fill the quotas?
There used to be a factory in Rutland that made colored wood laminates used in gun stocks and grips. It burned down recently (about 18 months ago).

I know about this because I work in the industry, and it impacted us directly.
When VT legalized homosexual marriage I wondered about the judgment. I guess invasion works.
“Are you for forced integration?”

Of course not,but that’s what’s in the works——integrating “white” suburbs.
The refugee placements are just the tip of the iceberg.
Vermont had been Dem since it became a favorite place for New Yorkers looking for a simpler life-—they are in a beautiful cocoon-—and like it that way.

I grew up in Bristol. I always thought I would go back someday and then it turned into liberal central. It is beautiful and such a shame that it is being destroyed.
Would riding them out of town on a rail be too mild?
Vermont was ruined by hippy refugees long ago, though Rutland remains more Republican than most of the rest of the state.
