As President Obama presses communities to accept Syrian refugees, his current hometown of Washington, D.C., is likely to be spared much of the pain.
There are about 180 communities across the U.S. that welcome refugees, but some of the more obvious cities, including San Francisco, New York and, yes, Washington, aren't high on the list because they are just too darn expensive for the refugees.
Instead, the top major cities are places such as Atlanta, San Diego, Houston, Dallas, Chicago and Boston, the State Department says. And there are a host of medium-sized cities as well: Boise, Idaho, Nashville, Tennessee, Tucson, Arizona, Buffalo, New York, and Erie, Pennsylvania, are all on that list, the department said in September as it laid out plans to take 10,000 Syrian refugees this fiscal year.
Handling refugees spans multiple government agencies, with the State Department involved on the front end, Homeland Security overseeing the vetting and the Office of Refugee Resettlement within Health and Human Services responsible for resettling the refugees once they're here.
The ORR is the same office that is handling the ongoing surge of illegal immigrant children on the border over the last few years, and it relies on a network of nine non-profits -- six of them faith-based -- to place the refugees in communities that can handle them.

“Just following orders” didn’t work for the Nazis and it won’t work for our Quislings.
Yep.
I’m sure others have provided a list. But here is a start with the major locations
by state that have agencies involved in resettlement activities.
Thanks for the excellent post.
Watch this video!!! It is short.
Excerpts from a muslim “peace” conference in Norway, Oct. 2013.
Here they all admit that all muslims are radicals and extremists!

Yet another reason to be happily away from San Diego. We have muzzies in town in Pocatello at Idaho State University. The numbers are small. Mostly college kids with exceptionally wealthy backgrounds.
Thanks for that info.
Many years ago I used to play golf once a year at the Singing Hills Golf Course east of El Cajon and a mile or two from Crest.
At that time (before Operation Desert Storm) I don’t recall any Iraqis or ME people in the area but times change quickly. It’s a beautiful area and the course was great also, sorry to hear how the area has changed.
Classic Liberal NIMBYism
“I WANT it but not in MY backyard!!!”
FUBO
If the DiFascio of NYC or B.O.Bama or Hollyweird think this will keep them safe from Syrian jihadists, they haven’t been paying attention to the migratory behavior of those Islamists who carried out the Paris attacks.
There are no border check points to keep them from going state to state.
Even the 9-11 hijackers had ties to Florida and other states before heading to Boston and eventually New York.
The 9 11 savages only needed the east coast.
Major flaw is that they do not fit the definition of refugee. Invaders. Yes. Refugees. No.
As Rush Limbaugh has always said DC is full of rich sap suckers thriving on our economy but who produce nothing tangible except corruption.
The corrupt elites of both Parties that have come to own us always give the “opportunities” for prisons and enclaves for illegals or refugees to benefit crony capitalist donors but at locations far removed from the DC elites that connive and contrive and set the schemes up.
After I left the area, there were some law enforcement busts in El Cajon. Some of the Chaldeans were running drugs and guns with Mexican cartel connections.
In general, the muslims hang out in Clairemont along Balboa Ave. They shop at the Target at Balboa and Genessee. Target hired some muslim women as cashiers. Zero impact on my purchases, but not ideal if you're purchasing alcohol. You have to expect extra traffic at Balboa and Charger Blvd during the day as the muslims head to the mosque. That's a daily occurrence, but more pronounced on Friday afternoons.
The Chaldeans purchased a few church properties in El Cajon along Jamacha Rd and Chase Blvd. The signage on the property is mixed English/Arabic. Mostly busy on Sundays, but some activity during the week.
There was a muzzie honor killing in El Cajon. The wife decided she wanted a divorce. It was accomplished with a hammer to her skull. Attempts were made to try to frame a crazed muslim hater, but the author of the "notes" was clearly not a native English speaker. The husband was convicted.
It appears that “flyover country” is getting the full Sharia Treatment doesnt it?
Back in the summer there was a list I read. I can’t recall if it was just for Florida or Nationwide. It gave where they were to be settled and the names of the organizations that were sponsoring them. Here in the Northeast section of Plant City, Florida there has been a lot of Section 8 houses built. The Orlando area was supposed to get a bunch of them.
i hope that’s rhetorical because i dont have a clue lol.
is it the feds or govs that have arrangement with these places?
These “refugees” have more freedom to chose where they want to live than I do. Must be nice — I have to support myself, so my choices are limited to the places where I can market my skills to get a job, which isn’t necessarily my ideal choice.
Gee, the incentives seem to be, Renounce your US citizenship, move to Syria, flee as a refugee to Europe, get a EU passport, return to the US, choose the ideal city where you always wanted to live, get naturalized, then live off the dole until you can collect Social Security.
bttt
Another answer to my question if it is Feds or Governors who decide where they go:
My understanding is itâs all Feds. Refugees have legal status once theyâre here and can go anywhere. The feds choose the agencies resettling them. Donât think thereâs much the states can do. Refugee compensation and welfare are federal. Everyone, even illegals get schooling. Maybe some states could fiddle with Medicaid eligibility.
The one check is Congress, the Presidentâs ability to admit refugees is legislative. I believe currently itâs about 80,000 or 90,000. Think the feds determine from where. Congress could restrict the countries we admit them from, or reduce the number. But theyâd have to be able to override a veto. And if the President brings in 200,000 instead of 80,000, all Congress can do is impeach him, which wonât happen. Hopefully weâll avoid an attack in the near term, which means it wonât even be an election issue. The next President or two can deal with it.
