American yogurt billionaire: 'Hire more Muslim refugees'
World Net Daily ^ | 1/20/2016 | Leo Hohmann

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.”

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.

I’d encourage a brave Jewish person (or even someone who looks Jewish) to go work at Chobani, just for the discrimination lawsuit that would result.

Hide the fact you are Jewish, of course, to start.

Wear a video camera, document everything.

Probably need a pistol, just in case.

HUGE lawsuit.

I suspect 90% of those customers will change brands, rather than risk poisoning by the unknown 1%-99% of anti-human terrorists among the "refugees".

Cheap labor.

Yes all the parts fit neatly together. It was and is never about helping the poor refugees, its about helping processing plants reduce wages. Its a great system they pay minimum wage and we, the tax payers, get to pick up the tab for housing, education, health care, infrastructure and food stamps.

But hey we get a return on our investment with cheap yogurt.

The lust for these refugees and other immigrants is so great within the GOP and DNC that if they stopped coming they would send a fleet of mercenary vessels around the world to press them into service.

Chobani tastes sour to me. I usually buy Oikos Greek Yogurt.

Then there's Oinkers Bacon yogurt. "Feel the Squeal".

Hard to believe this guy is in Idaho helping to seed the entire state with Muslims.

How nice.

Any Greek yogurt just doesn’t appeal to my palate. No desire to support Chobani. Give me some regular Kroger lime yogurt and I’m happy. If I find out that’s made by muzzie immigrants I may have to consider avoiding yogurt altogether.

Import your own loyal slave labor force and make the big bucks. Take over local politics. Etc.

i was shocked to find this yoghurt in my fridge. Won’t buy this product ever again. Just goes to show that “they” are everywhere, well organized, and funded.

My wife buys Chobani. Well, I should say she did. Never again. Buying a competitor from here on out.

I wonder if Chobani is Arabic for “stealth jihad”

Just terrific. All they need to do is put poison in it and send it out to kill Americans.

Agreed. I bought it recently. I ain’t throwing it out, but I’m done with them after the 4 containers are gone.
