Wyoming Considers Steps to Assist Its New Refugees (Barf Alert)

Wyoming Considers Steps to Assist Its New Refugees

State Weighs Creating a Resettlement Program Dan Frosch Sept. 21,

CHEYENNE, Wyo.—Draped in a brightly hued robe and veil, Amal Hassan certainly stands out from the locals as she walks along the outskirts of this high-plains city, pickup trucks rumbling by.

Somali refugees such as Ms. Hassan are becoming a more common sight here in the nation's least populous state, the only one without a refugee-resettlement program. Such initiatives provide social and financial services to refugees such as Ms. Hassan, 29 years old, who were admitted legally into the U.S.

Now, with a hundred or so Somali refugees having arrived in Wyoming's capital city in recent years, the state is wrestling with whether to create a resettlement program, which in other states is typically run jointly with the federal Administration for Children and Families. The idea, however, has stirred sharp criticism from some people, who have called and emailed state officials, expressing concern that crowds of refugees would flock to Wyoming, stretch resources and spread disease.

The issue repeatedly came up during last month's Republican primary for November's gubernatorial election, with one of Gov. Matt Mead's opponents saying refugees would cause problems for Wyoming. The governor, who won the primary, said his administration is merely exploring a resettlement program.

"Unfortunately people don't understand or deliberately distort what's happening," Mr. Mead said recently on a local radio station, dispelling a rumor that the state planned to set up refugee camps.

Mr. Mead has said that refugees were coming to Wyoming regardless, and the state needed to know which services they were using.

According to federal data, 4,915 Somali refugees arrived in the U.S. during the 2012 fiscal year, the most recent information available.

Long way to go for refuge. No neighboring country can take them? How about a neighboring continent?

Governor Matt Mead invited the federal government in to help Wyoming “plan” for refugees.

Sometimes it’s the little things that are challenging to deal with. One of the problems we deal with in MN (our city is about 20% Somalian) is those living in rentals other than larger apartment buildings don’t like to walk in the cold to get garbage bags into the dumpster. They stand at the door and heave it in the direction of dumpster. That meant the downtown area in the winter had trash piles all over. Big issue at city council meetings. Since WY is a state in which the cities tend to have very few ordinances regarding care of property it will be interesting when people have no recourse to address the problems that come when your neighborhood starts resembling the third world.

There, fixed it.....

Apparently the Wyoming Governor is a Rino.

Wyoming Gov Matt Mead Hosts Gun Control Cover Party for CO’s Hickenlooper, Again
Published on Friday, September 13, 2013

Wyoming —(Ammoland.com)- You may remember how I told you about- Matt Mead using his staff to lobby against pro-gun legislation during the last session.

Or how Wyoming’s speaker of the house Tom Lubnau let the “cat out of the bag” on- Mead’s order to stop pro-gun bills from reaching his desk.

And with “Republican” senate leadership killing, not just one, but three pieces of pro-gun legislation — by now nothing should surprise you.

But wait till you see this textbook example of a PSYOPS operation, as if it was pulled from the pages of Saul Alinsky’s – Rules for Radicals.

Foreign muslims don’t come here to integrate into Western society. They are here to colonize, their mosques are funded by foreign states.

The pope only has authority over faith and morals. His political statements mean very little. I mean in a perfect world we could all sit and hold hands and sing Kumbaya, well it’s not a perfect world.

Importing these people here is insane. They are trying to force about 2,000 Congolese on the city of Athens, GA right now. The mayor is fighting it but who knows.

Born in 1962. Another guy who could not be bothered to serve in uniform in any capacity. J-H-C there are a lot of these guys. Would six years in the Guard or Reserve been to much sacrifice or stretched their resources.

What I want to know is - when did we vote on this?

We are now taking on huge populations from the world's greatest $hitholes bringing them here and completely changing our cultural landscape for the worse. The change will be permanent and irrevocable.

Some communities in Minnesota are nearing a third Somalian. They went from the Blue Ox to the Blue Mosque. I have to believe this is being done on purpose to water down and change our culture.

I guess the disastrous Minnesota experience of importing hyper-breeding, fourth-world muslims escaped the state leadership in Wyoming. Or perhaps people in this country are forbidden to view the MN debacle as “negative.”

“One winter in Wyoming aught to do the trick.”

If Minnesota’s winters didn’t do the trick, I’m thinking that’s not a safe bet.
