Remaking Rutland with Refugees
American Thinker ^ | May 24, 2016 | Sonia Bailey

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.

What kind of industry in Rutland can profit from an influx of cheap foreign compliant labor? We already know about the “resettlement” racket profit motive, but who in the area has enough pull to collar that dirt cheap labor force?

This is all about getting raw population numbers up to maintain electoral votes and congressional seats in blue states.

It will end as it has all over the world.

Higher crime rates.

Raped women

Lower quality of life.

The Sound of Music Maria and her Von Trapp family settled in Vermont as refugees but they were Christians and added to the lives of the Americas there...

these Islamic terrorists will just endanger and disrupt the people there...

the Von Trapps were escaping from an enemy much like the islamics..

I remember when Rutland VT was best known in my circles as the home base for Charles E. Tuttle, the man whose publishing company brought Japanese culture to post WWII America; my library still has perhaps 50 books printed by him. Half of me is sad, and the other half is angry, for none of this had to be.

The Rutland Healthcare System better bone up on just how to treat the genetic illnesses caused by inbreeding which muslims do at an extremely prolific rate. Our hard earned tax dollars at work. Taking care of inbred cretins.

I was born in Vermont. So was my Dad and grandparents gg-parents, etc. back to the late eighteenth century.

I own almost forty acres (38.7) with 1000 feet of river frontage on the Missisquoi river and about 500 feet of road frontage on River Road. River Road is an improved dirt road, plowed in winter, connecting the two villages which are 7 miles apart. The paved road is on the other side of the river and, of course, gets all the traffic.

The area is very rural, and very beautiful, surrounded by farms about 5 miles from Jay Peak ski area and 3.5 miles from the Canadian border “Half a mile South of the old covered bridge”. It is situated between two villages that make up the township with a population of about 600 souls. My land is exactly in the middle, 3.5 miles from either village. It is about eighteen miles from the nearest major shopping and entertainment.

The land is a bit more than half woods (Mix hard and soft with Maple, Oak, Poplar, a few apple trees and white pine. The remainder is pasture with a three hundred foot gravel driveway over a 6’X40’ culvert for access. No structures. Good fishing in the river. Deer and other wild game are plentiful. (One neighbor told me he had considered buying it just so he could hunt there)

We always planned to retire there and build a little house back in the woods with a fifteen hundred foot driveway.

But now we find ourselves in Alaska and loving it so...

FSBO Make offer.

If only 5 miles from Jay, it’s a hunter’s and skiers paradise.
