Another “pocket of resistance?” LOL! I can see “Welcoming America” scurrying to Athens at this very minute!
In July we reported on a plan by US State Department contractor—International Rescue Committee (IRC)—to open an office and begin resettling Congolese refugees to Athens, GA.
Now comes news (hat tip: Joanne) that the Democratic mayor, Nancy Denson, is throwing cold water on the scheme by asking the IRC to “present a formal refugee integration plan.” That is exactly what every town or city faced with this crisis (yes, a crisis when a refugee contractor comes to your town!) should do—demand a plan for public review.
Mayor Nancy Denson: refugees will place an “inordinate service burden” on community.
There must be a social and economic impact statement prepared!
In the early days of writing this blog, when I thought reform of the program was possible, I had suggested that every location faced with the surprise notice that the US State Department, the Office of Refugee Resettlement and their contractors were planning to set up shop in their town should ask the federal government to prepare a social and economic impact statement (which included gathering information from the public through public meetings) modeled after the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) which requires an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) when federal money/federal action is being used for a project in a local community that might significantly effect the “natural or human environment.”

WTH? We’ve been the world’s sewer drain for decades in accepting “refugees” from the 3rd world’s most dysfunctional societies.
What kind of insanity is this? American taxpayers are just supposed to take it right?
Even Dems are getting fed up with it.
IIRC, 0bama has never reported the refugees as he is supposed to do. There’s a report to file every year.
I know.
Strangely organized but valuable site.
Dang ... running out of paper ... reports flying twenty thousand per second regarding the corruption and then the report came in ‘We’re almost out of paper’.... Dang.
Ha! What is this “sovereignty” you speak of?
