Stop jumping to conclusions. I knew this seemed out of character for my governor so I called her office. Here is the truth: https://governor.iowa.gov/2019/12/gov-reynolds-gov-ricketts-gov-noem-thank-president-trump-for-strengthening-refugee
That would be, our tax money? So, when does the tea hit the harbor?
WTH?!!
Makes you wonder how many of these republican governors wouldn’t mind following the Virginia Governor’s lead on gun confiscation.
The member organizations of the Evangelical Immigration Roundtable all have vested monetary interests...
The relocation charities get money from Feds to “assist in relocation”
The churches get new parishioners—which they need...fill the pews, pay the tithes....
Communities get influx of cheap workers who have access to many federal program dollars to spend...
Governors, like the signatory churches, can appear compassionate on the taxpayer’s dime...
And the Country goes down the tubes with more Dem voters bought and paid for by US taxpayer dollars...
We accepted fewer than 25,000 refugees in 2018. If evenly distributed that's 500 per state.
I think this red-to-blue plan is going to take a while.
With all due respect, you need to spend some time following the issue. The conclusions in the article are valid...
Letters were sent to these governors by the signatories of the Evangelical Immigration Roundtable in order to pressure governors to take more refugees.
Your link from your governor’s office is a separate action...The article you link to does not state that the your particular governor did not take refugees. So do you know for a fact that Iowa is not taking more refugees??
This organization, Evangelical Immigration Roundtable, and World Vision and World relief are Soros-funded...Member signatory churches are either unaware or don’t care...
I respectfully direct your attention to the YouTube refugee assimilation discussion. (Gumballs) It will clarify a lot of misconceptions about immigration.
Bump
“Herbert from UT isn’t running again....”
He wants to bring in more refugees. But almost every night on the Salt Lake TV stations we see sympathetic coverage of the “homeless” (translation: mostly drug addicts and alcoholics).
Then there’s Ben Mcadams, Romney, etc., etc..
LOL..ALL of them...if the price is right!
When I heard Lee speak he said he was trying to take in persecuted Christian refugees ignored by the previous administration
Gee thanks sooo much for the really relevant post...and a really informative link too...
I appreciate it sooo much because I take the issue of the refugee tsunami very seriously...it is only the future of country is at risk.
Thanks again...reeeeeally appreciated your sharing...
“This is how red states become blue and how America ceases to be America.”
We accepted fewer than 25,000 refugees in 2018. If evenly distributed that’s 500 per state.
You forgot to include the ever increasing number of asylees...I could not find data for 2018 or 2019...Wonder why?!?! But we accepted 26,500* asylees in 2017...That was before the caravans and that the NGOs figured out the loopholes and Cloward Piven strategy to get illegal aliens in the Country as asylum seekers...
If you read the article and follow the issue you will see that there is not and has not been an equal distribution of 500 refugees per state.
Red states are being targeted by Soros-funded Evangelical Immigration Round table. I believe this Round table is an off-shoot of Obama’s New American Program...he had liaisons go out and sell the churches on immigration and DACA.
Over the past five years, global refugee population worldwide has increased 50%. Some thanks goes to Obama and Soros for that...
There were approximately 19.9 million refugees worldwide as of fiscal year (FY) 2017.
In FY 2015 the U.S. admitted 70,000 refugees.
In 2016, 85,000 admitted refugees.
In 2017, 54,000 admitted refugees
In FY 2018, refugee admission cap reduced to 45,000.
For 2019, the cap was 30,000.
Again, the caps are not including all the illegals who flooded the border last spring...

Did you know that in 2018, these were the countries from which we accepted refugees: (I doubt it is all-inclusive list, but it is an interesting collection)
~~Democratic Republic of Congo (World Ebola capital?) 7,878
~~Burma 3,555
~~Ukraine 2,635
~~Bhutan 2,228
~~Eritrea 1,269
~~Afghanistan, 805
~~El Salvador 725
~~Pakistan 441
~~Russia 437
~~Ethiopia 376
Combine the Evangelical Immigration Round Table push with the asylum seekers tsunami and Soros’ redistricting efforts and it will take a lot less time than you think to flip red states blue. Governor Abbott has written about Soros’ efforts to tamper in TX
The plan will take a lot less time than people think if they fail to see big picture here...

I do not believe these governors are begging for refugees. It would be out of character for them to do so.
I did not mean to infer that they are begging for refugees..They are being targetted and nudged by the Evangelical Immigration Round table....Article does not even mention the tsunami of pending asylees. (I could not find numbers after 2017...Wonder why?)
One of my issues is that these “relief/relocation’ NGOs are exercising seemingly altruistic faith-based initiatives which work very well in their arguments to bring in more refugees and asylees...However, they are not using their own faith dollars...They are using our tax dollars.
There is a big picture here that is not being seen...It is part of the Dem formula to expand the Democrat party on our tax dollars. The Republican governors are either unaware or don’t care. Regardless, the end result of all of this is that it is going to become increasingly difficult to elect conservatives or republicans in the future.
If both legal and illegal immigrant were turning into Republicans in overwhelming numbers then all immigration would stop tomorrow, bank on it.
No, of course not. In general, it roughly follows population with Texas, California and New York being three of the top four.
Red states are being targeted by Soros-funded Evangelical Immigration Round table.
If they want to affect voting demographics with only 25K/year nationally they better target purple states.
Combine the Evangelical Immigration Round Table push with the asylum seekers tsunami and Soros’ redistricting efforts and it will take a lot less time than you think to flip red states blue.
No, this article is about Republican governors and refugees.
You and the author are trying to lump all foreigners into one big pot but if you ask the governors about asylees and other immigrants you would probably get a different answer.
FRiend you are welcome to just focus on the narrow spectrum of this recent initiative (stemming from the World Relief sponsored pastors’ letters targeting these GOP governors)...
However, the Evangelical Immigration Round table is evolving...now they are addressing illegal immigration...calling for restitution and path to citizenship for immigrants...Since they are not keeping their focus narrow...neither will I.
You think Soros is just using this program and targeting only red states? Actually they are targeting red districts in purple and blue states. And they are using our tax dollars to do it...
I really wish these NGOs masquerading as “charities” would behave like true charities and use THEIR money to fund their organizations and sponsor these groups...But they don’t...they are funded primarily by a combination of Soros money and taxpayer dollars which are then used to guilt trip pastors and governors...
You are welcome to dismiss the concerns and focus on 25,000.
However, I am going to lump all the newcomers together because refugees, asylees, migrants, illegal aliens all go into same pot and can be used to leverage elections. And that is what the Dems have figured out...
Officially, there are 19 million refugees seeking new countries to call home (I suspect actual number is larger.) I will bet pie that first Dem president we get, first order of business will be quadrupling the caps and granting amnesty
