Ever wonder why the federal government would be sending hundreds of foreign refugees to a relatively small town in Idaho?
Wonder no more.
They’re sent there, many of them, to work in the world’s largest yogurt factory.
As WND previously reported, Twin Falls is in line to receive about 300 refugees this year, many of them Muslims from Syria. And the state of Idaho, despite its reputation as a mostly white, conservative farm state, has been a popular destination for refugees in recent years.
Boise Mayor David Bieter has gone on record as a huge supporter of President Obama’s welcoming initiative for immigrants and refugees, writing in a blog post that, for his city, “diversity isn’t a buzzword. It’s our birthright.â€
The U.S. State Department has shipped more than 11,000 refugees directly from the Third World to Idaho since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Just in the past year, 989 refugees have arrived in the rural state, most of them landing in either Boise or Twin Falls. Nearly half have come from some of the world’s nastiest jihadist hot zones, including 95 from Iraq, 94 from Somalia, 47 from Sudan, 39 from Afghanistan, 31 from Iran, 28 from Syria and 11 from Pakistan, according to the federal refugee database.
But despite growing protests by local residents against the refugee arrivals, the Twin Falls area can count on being a prime spot for refugees for years to come, thanks to one man’s rising business enterprise.
That man is Hamdi Ulukaya, a Kurdish Muslim and immigrant from Turkey who created the billion-dollar U.S.-based Chobani yogurt empire.
Ulukaya opened the world’s largest yogurt factory in Twin Falls about two years ago, and the plant now employs 600 people with about 30% of those jobs filled by foreign refugees shipped to the U.S.

Cheap labor.
Chobani, eh? Most definitely NOT on my list.
And wo be unto any one I see with it in their shopping cart.
May pig sh*t be upon him.
People should boycott Chobani yogurt.
Hiring someone based on their religion...hmmmm.
I told the wife no more Chobani.
Chobani yogurt.
That’s it. I am going to go to the grocery store and attack the Chabani yogurt with a machete and chop all the caps off. Because of this really great hash trip I had in a cave one time.
that damned billionaire had better give every American within 100 miles a very good firearm......also pay for hiring a large number of additional police there...
ps: dear billionaire, we will NEVER buy your stinking treasonous yogurt !!!
NO Chobani. Ever.
Boycotting since the commercial with lesbians. Were not even wearing burqas or hijabs.
Chobani tastes sour to me. I usually buy Oikos Greek Yogurt.
Never heard of it. But they seem to use their name on their products, so I’ll avoid it if I see it. They call it Greek Yogurt.

Down in SW Missouri where my SIL lives, the Mexicans who displaced all the American workers in the chicken processing plants have been displaced by Somali muzzies.
So the Mexicans are all on welfare.
It’s weird to drive through these tiny towns in middle America and see half the business signs in Spanish and Arabic.
I have purchased that product in the past. It is sold in all of the grocery stores in my area. I did not know the company was owned by a Muslim. I will never buy it again.
This is what was meant by transforming America
At the time, people who heard that phrase uttered by the Jihadi in Chief thought it was just hyperbole.
I’m not convinced. We should ask all the falafel, shawarma, and kebob billionaires what they think too.
There was a problem with some Chobani yogurt a few years ago. I have avoided them ever since. I usually buy Oikos.
