Chobani, owned by a Turkish Muslim immigrant, has filled 30 percent of its 600 positions at the world’s largest Yogurt plant in Twin Falls, Idaho,
...
This comes at a time when Twin Falls is embroiled in a firestorm of controversy involving a sexual assault of a 5-year-old special-needs girl by refugee boys from Sudan and Iraq. The city’s mayor, Shawn Barigar ... was instrumental in recruiting Chobani to Twin Falls back in 2011, and he now plays a dual role of elected official and president/CEO of the local Chamber of Commerce.

Goldman Sachs, United Parcel Service, HP , MasterCard, IBM and Google have also pledged to provide either jobs, cash aid or free services to refugees, about 85,000

more than 2,340 refugees from more than a dozen countries have been resettled in Twin Falls since January 2002.
...
the mayor of Boise, Idaho, David Bieter, has also been a big supporter of refugees
...
The U.S. State Department has shipped more than 12,000 refugees directly from the Third World to Idaho since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, most of them landing in either Boise or Twin Falls. Nearly half have come from some of the world’s nastiest jihadist hot zones

What you are saying doesn’t make much sense. My point is people used to emigrate here to make a life for themselves, and they became part of the nation. I realize of course many people will never take that step to citizenship for a number of reasons. My first husband was Greek with a green card and I am sure he is probably still not a citizen.
Here’s a guy with a big company and huge earnings and obviously a lot of influence, and he’s not even an American.
WND deals in hyper-”conservative” sensationalism. If they told me the sun had just risen in the east, I would check the clock and an almanac if I could not go out and see for myself. I’d want to trace all such reports to their sources.
I’ve tried Chobani...it’s not bad, but I get better authentic strained yogurt from my local Turkish market. The best commercial strained yogurt is Cabot’s Greek, the full fat plain is also much lower in milk sugar which means they culture the yogurt longer than most commercial operations.
I’ve never bought it because I think it’s overpriced. I buy the BJ’s brand plain greek yogurt in the big container twin pack. I use that to make myself individual servings. Of course I guess now I should probably find out who makes the BJ’s brand LOL
It probably wouldn’t be Chobani, just because their name brand commands such a mark-up.
It’s an okay yogurt, not the worst or the best. Dannon is often better.

America isn’t going to buy this crap any longer.
If it says it’s halal on the package I won’t buy it. If I see that backwards Arabic chicken scratch on the packaging anywhere I won’t buy it.
One can only be a traitor to one's own country.
It’s too expensive but every now and then I would treat myself. Not any more.
Instead, my mainstay yogurt is Siggi's. It's probably even thicker than Greek yogurt and has the same if not better health benefits - live cultures and all that. It's strained yogurt called "skyr" and is only made with milk from grass-fed cows.
I prefer the whole milk version.
Yep. Never again. Nasty.
Welp, scratch that brand of my list.
“The best commercial strained yogurt is Cabot’s Greek, “
I didn’t know that,thanks-—and I refuse to “lite” products.
Their butter is also the best.
.
Glad I don’t like that brand
Jordan took in a bunch of these refugees, until they started in with the suicide bombings at which point Jordan very sensibly sealed the border for the duration of the crisis.
They showed up in Egypt, and are miserable because they are not being afforded accommodations that are up to their standards and want to go to Europe.
I like Jordan, I like Egypt. These are two countries that run their own affairs and are pretty stable in a region full of instability.
I’ve said it before. You do well to take in refugees if they are sensible people escaping a lunatic government. The Cuban refugees passed that test. Pretty much every group landing on the early American shores passed that test. The huge influx of Eastern Europeans before the wall came down pass that test. Any poor soul who made it out of Sierra Leone passes that test. The Irish pass that test. The Lebanese passed that test.
This is something different. Nobody is telling these folks that they need to rethink their worldview, but that would probably be helpful in light of everything that has happened. Otherwise anyone who takes them in will just be taking on someone else’s problem.
OK - will not buy this brand any more.
The founder, Hamdi Ulukaya, doesn't look like he's into Sharia Law so much:
In that picture he is arriving to accept the Ernst & Young World Entrepreneur of the Year award for 2013. I'm basing my judgment partly on the way his date is dressed. Whatever else you say about him, he is an entrepreneurial success story.
