Small Pennsylvania town up in arms over plan to house hundreds of migrants in abandoned school

A small Pennsylvania town is up in arms over a proposal to turn an abandoned Civil War-era school into a shelter for hundreds of migrant families — with residents and lawmakers vowing to put a stop to the “foreign invasion.”

News of the plan to turn the former Scotland School for Veterans Children building in Franklin County into a migrant shelter surfaced publicly this week after the owners of the sprawling property recently started making inquiries about its potential usage, local officials said.

The Greene Township Board of Supervisors said a representative from USA Up Star, an Indiana-based disaster response company that currently owns the 185-acre property, had reached out to them last month to ask if local zoning laws allowed for the campus to be converted into a shelter.

The company said the location, which was most recently a summer camp, would be used as a “shelter for families seeking refuge” in the US and that they’d be “working closely” with the federal government on the potential project.

The board quickly denied the request, saying current zoning requirements and land use regulations prohibited such a use for the campus.

USA Up Star, however, can still lodge an appeal on the board’s decision, according to local officials.

It wasn’t immediately clear, though, if the company intends to fight the ruling.

Still, the developments sparked immediate outrage with furious locals packing the township’s board meeting on Tuesday to voice their objections over the apparent push to shelter migrants in their community.

“Our concern is that we have no idea who these people are. They’re unvetted,” one local, Sue McPhail, said during the meeting, according to WGAL.

“We don’t know where they came from. We don’t know if they’re involved in gangs. We don’t know if they’re drug traffickers, sex traffickers.”

Pretty sure the answer she's looking for is - yes.

Look, the Dems had to go to all the trouble of importing illegals because American citizens were falling down on the job and not voting communist. So, no complaining! /s

Why not just move the current residents into camps and give their homes to the migrants? That’s where we’re headed anyway.

Standard procedure is to dump them in red areas and flip them blue with illegals.

The only thing that’s going to stop the RATs’ evil intentions is for the regular citizens to rise up. We can’t count on the government; they’re the perps.

In Ireland they are doing more than complaining. Construction projects for immigrants are being burned down along with the expensive construction equipment being used to build these projects.

It is like Poland welcoming the Nazis in 1939. If the Polish people object it’s because they are racist.

Guess who is getting all the votes from this township; and all the other similarly situated towns? Probably 10,000 voters in this township. Add then to voters in other townships and that should wrap Pennsylvania up for Trump.

Just west of Gettysburg, on the Maryland border.

Must be a clever strategy to get the locals riled up and throw the Pennsylvania election to Commiela.

They don't vote dem.

Learn to do some reaearch.

For most of its history, Franklin County has been a Republican Party stronghold in presidential elections, with only three Democratic Party candidates having managed to win the county from 1880 to the present day. The most recent Democrat to win the county in a presidential election was Lyndon B. Johnson, who won state-wide in the Pennsylvania election and in the national election, in a 1964 landslide. As a testament to the county's status as a Republican Party stronghold, Jimmy Carter in 1976 is the lone Democrat to win forty percent of the county's votes since Johnson's 1964 win.

Which is why they want to import people to the area.

The Democrat and Communist parties are working overtime to destroy middle America.

They damn well should be up in arms and they should not tolerate the presence of these leeches in their county. These people aren’t traditional immigrants who come to contribute to America. These people come because the democrats offered them massive bribes . Kick them OUT!

Problem here is that they aren’t ‘up in arms’.

This is the elite of our country telling the unwashed that they don’t care what we think and if we complain too loudly they’ll send their minions to crush us.
