Yesterday I sat through what could be very generously called a neighborhood meeting near where I live. A new Goodwill Boutique (higher end Goodwill) is set to open in center of town, and a spokesperson was going around promoting it to neighborhood associations.
In educating us on what Goodwill does, the spokesperson volunteered that the money generated from sale of donated items drives their job training program.
All good, until . . .
He then volunteered that of the 5000 trained locally last year and placed in jobs, 1800 were Syrian refugees.
Since I'm in the People's Soviet of Washington, this bit of news was met with approval.
I, however, made it my business to come here and distribute the information as widely as possible. This information is first hand, from somebody in Goodwill authorized to let this information go, and was witnessed by 30 other people.
I was floored.
Oh, and he made sure - by way of competitive differentiation - to inform us Value Village does NOT use their money this way.
I had no idea about her.
Learn stuff all the time.
The Goodies bit about the Salvation Army is one of my favorites from that trio.
Not good.
Here is my two cents about Goodwill.

<><> our tax dollars import them.
<><> our tax dollars to church organizations to “settle” them.
<><> our tax dollars to fly them here and get them into our communities.
<><> our tax dollars to ensconce them on the gravy train

REFERENCE---A hidden video exposed the US govt agency-USCIC, a division of DHS---lets them in using fake passports to make them eligible for Temporary Protected Status, which protects Syrian immigrants, of illegal or legal status, from deportation. The status is available to Syrians who have been in the U.S. since Oct. 1, 2016. and the date to register ends in a few weeks.

Insane.
Thanks for nailing it .....
Enough, already.
Praying Prez Trump admin will stop. this. cr@p. fast.
It smells like a government social engineering project, all right.
Is Goodwill getting a little more than just good will out of this, so to speak? Is it getting some tax credit kick back? If it were merely misguided but being so with only its own skin in the game, that would be one question. It might discover that the current set of refugees are creating disproportional problems for the USA as opposed to other charity candidates, and then change its aid profile to gain greater leverage. But if its choice is being biased by government action, it is high time that this bias be removed.
