Chobani doubles down on hiring Mideast refugees
WND ^ | 6/30/2016 | Leo Hohmann

Posted on 06/30/2016 6:30:24 PM PDT by george76

Chobani, owned by a Turkish Muslim immigrant, has filled 30 percent of its 600 positions at the world’s largest Yogurt plant in Twin Falls, Idaho,

...

This comes at a time when Twin Falls is embroiled in a firestorm of controversy involving a sexual assault of a 5-year-old special-needs girl by refugee boys from Sudan and Iraq. The city’s mayor, Shawn Barigar ... was instrumental in recruiting Chobani to Twin Falls back in 2011, and he now plays a dual role of elected official and president/CEO of the local Chamber of Commerce.

...

Goldman Sachs, United Parcel Service, HP , MasterCard, IBM and Google have also pledged to provide either jobs, cash aid or free services to refugees, about 85,000

...

The State Department works through nine federal resettlement contractors that includes the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Luther Immigration and Refugee Service, Episcopal Migration Ministries, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, Church World Services. World Relief (an arm of the National Association of Evangelicals), the International Rescue Committee, U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants and the Ethiopian Community Development Council. These volunteer agencies or VOLAGs have between 50 percent and 95 percent of their budgets funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars and are paid by the head for every refugee they resettle in the U.S.

more than 2,340 refugees from more than a dozen countries have been resettled in Twin Falls since January 2002.

...

the mayor of Boise, Idaho, David Bieter, has also been a big supporter of refugees

...

The U.S. State Department has shipped more than 12,000 refugees directly from the Third World to Idaho since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, most of them landing in either Boise or Twin Falls. Nearly half have come from some of the world’s nastiest jihadist hot zones

What’s rather bothersome to me about the Chobani guy, is he came here and made great success yet as far as I know he is still a Turkish citizen. Now if you come here and have a big factory and great success, why are you still loyal to another country? He is Kurdish actually. These people are coming here and they are not becoming Americans.

Ditto. Not after Michelle Obama arranged for Chobani to be the primary (only?) provider of yoghurt for school lunches.

There’s more going behind the scenes with Chobani than meets the eye. A whole lot more.

Raj looks like one of those guys who sells the Tanzanite jewelry in ports where cruise ships dock.

Islam/sharia is incompatible with the U.S. Constitution.

Got one cup left in the fridge...Think I'll take it out front and place a couple of rounds through it.

Happy 4th of July Chobani! You've just lost a customer.

Every time I walk past the yogurt cooler at my local Sam’s Club I tell whomever is with me that buying Chobani is supporting Sharia Law and rewarding terrorism. Make sure to say it loud enough so that anyone fairly close by can hear it. I’ve turned a couple of heads but haven’t yet gotten stopped by a stranger asking for more details.

By the way, I wonder if they have a flavor that includes 72 raisins in each serving.

No surprise. The most corrupt, treasonous, deceptive presidency in history, with the help of the republicans and the press. Tragic, truly.

Do we have a list of Sharia-sympathetic companies to avoid?
