Myanmar refugees changing face of Connecticut

Than Htay (pronounced Thon Tay), 24, who arrived in Hartford in June, is one of about 23,000 Burmese refugees who have legally immigrated to American cities in the past two years under a United Nations resettlement program. It is the U.N.'s largest such effort.

I just pointed out that your example of Bosnians doesn’t exactly adress the point the ikka made.

Yes it does. Ikka referenced white people, saying they weren't admitted but everyone else is. That's clearly bogus.

[SolidWood]

Alright Kaker, reckon that. But on a lighter note, have you noticed the little irony in your Bosnian example to ikka's question? Hehe.

Ikka: They are promoting the balkanization of the USA.

[Alter Kaker]

After all, that is what my comment was concerning.

Like hell it was.

[Alter Kaker]

But on a lighter note, have you noticed the little irony in your Bosnian example to ikka's question? Hehe.

Ok, touche. :-)

[Alter Kaker]

Using terms like lily white is racism.

Really? See, I think you're just being silly.

Just what is lily white in your definition?

Well lillies, for starters.

[NonValueAdded]

Sure takes the bloom off the lily, doesn’t it?

I think the first time one of these Burmese refugees see the inside of a Wal-Mart, they will understand what freedom and opportunity awaits them here in this new world of theirs.

I doubt we will see very many of these refugees complaining about not having a good enough job or not having the government take care of everything for them.

“You will notice that the UN never resettles whites (such as the farmers who are attacked daily in Zimbabwe) or Christians in the USA.”

If the Burmese refugees are from the Karen tribe, they may very well be Christians.

From the UK Telegraph, January 2007:

The military regime in Burma is intent on wiping out Christianity in the country, according to claims in a secret document believed to have been leaked from a government ministry. Entitled “Programme to destroy the Christian religion in Burma”, the incendiary memo contains point by point instructions on how to drive Christians out of the state.

The text, which opens with the line “There shall be no home where the Christian religion is practised”, calls for anyone caught evangelising to be imprisoned. It advises: “The Christian religion is very gentle – identify and utilise its weakness.”

“You will notice that the UN never resettles whites...”

From Ikka’s ORIGINAL post.

Looks like the comment was about the UN to me...

[montag813]

Are these new freeloaders Muslims like the 90,000 Somalis that Clinton let into America, in apparent thanks for the killing and dismembering of U.S. servicemen in Mogadishu?

You will notice that the UN never resettles whites (such as the farmers who are attacked daily in Zimbabwe) or Christians in the USA. They are promoting the balkanization of the USA.

Many of these Burmese refugees are from Christian (the Karen) tribes targeted by the (largely) Buddhist military authorities. Our church sponsors a Karen family.

“Just as long as they don't reach lower Fairfield County” say the “progressives” of Darien,New Canaan and Greenwich.

“You will notice that the UN never resettles whites (such as the farmers who are attacked daily in Zimbabwe) or Christians in the USA.”

That was not my statement (above) that you posted to me.

BTW, as a Ham operator, I had some friends living in the Karin State (jungle) and hiding from the burmese commies... that is until their village was overrun by the commies and everyone in that village was killed. He used the callsign XZ1A and his name was San Plo.
