The Daily Caller News Foundation ^ | January 2, 2017 | Saagar Enjeti

Some small-town residents of Rutland, Vt. are upset at their mayor’s decision to resettle 100 Syrian refugees throughout 2017 in the area.

Rutland Mayor Christopher Louras defended his decision, saying the town’s demographics are declining, and they are having trouble recruiting younger workers. He also thinks refugees will bring cultural diversity.

.
Louras’s decision sparked outrage among some residents who say they had little say in the mayor’s decision, which would effect them all.

refugees will bring cultural diversity

Yep, they sure will! Guarantied to not assimilate and they will bring their third world, murdering, raping ways with them.

That anyone expects these refugees to become workers and net contributers to the community is risible. Ask Germany, France and Sweden how this is working out.

A fine liberal state like Vermont doesn’t want to take in the poor, downtrodden potential terrorists whom they can love into becoming solid hard-working Americans? How xenophobic of them!

What is it about footing the bill for Syrian refugees that merits “quotation marks” in this headline?

Are those sarcasm quotes?

Good point. When people complain about being over run by terrorist invaders, Trump should just say, “Actions have consequences.”

Louras also said he had spoken to administrators at Rutland Regional Medical Center and Killington resort who said they were in need of employees.

With record unemployment in this country they have to go to Syria to recruit employees?

Voting democrat means you get to eat the whole enchilada. You can’t pick and choose.

Exactly. You can’t vote for people who want third-world immigration and then get upset because they bring in third-world immigration. You eat the whole enchilada, along with a side of beans, rice, and halal meat.

Whatever happened to all those governors and states that said they wouldn’t take syrian refugees, did they stand by that or did they cave? Anybody know?

Vermont needs to take their Democrat Party refugees and shut up about it (they voted for a continuation of Obama):

I believe it’s an idiom, but I could be wrong.

We’ve spent time in Vermont over the years. It was on our list of places we’d like to retire. Not anymore. Vermont is a mess.

A Judicial Watch notice based on Rutland’s problems http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-federal-contractor-tells-local-official-keep-syria-refugee-plans-secret/ but Michigan employs the same tactics. I’m certain all welcoming scammers operate the same way.

It all comes from https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/11/21/presidential-memorandum-creating-welcoming-communities-and-fully-integra

Is the Mayor using proceeds from public bond issues to finance these people?

Bonding is eternal taxation----the insider deals bonding companies made w/ shady pols to get bonding business would tell a tale of greedy pols accumulating riches through massive govt corruption.

If these bonding deals were effectuated by way of referendum at the ballot box----and misled investors into buying tax-fee muni bonds----the SEC would be interested.

EMAIL enforcement@sec.gov

Massive govt corruption might include forgery, falsification of official records, fraudulent state budget entries, tax evasion, illegal wire-transfers, misuse of public office, and financing terrorism.

Tax-exempt municipal bond investors (including public education/transportation bond investors)-- have legal grounds to sue if they were deceived about deceptive bond offerings. In many cases, bond issues are approved by voters---at the ballot box--so that voters may have also been misled WRT uses of fraudulent bond offerings.

Also culpable are:

<><> bonding companies underwriting possible fraudulent bond issues;

<><> banks holding possibly fraudulent bond proceeds;

<><> State/city's modus operandi in allocating tax-exempt bond proceeds,

<><> the sub rosa acceptance of bond proceeds.

<><> state/city vendors accepting possible fraudulent bond proceeds.

<><> publicly-funded state/city agencies advocating the uses of fraudulent bond proceeds.

===========================================

The SEC, FBI, banking overight agencies, and the IRS, would be interested in the activities of state/city entities WRT bonding.

EMAIL---FBI TIPS PAGE https://tips.fbi.gov

EMAIL--enforcement@SEC.gov

Contact the IRS Fraud Unit

EMAIL Banking oversight agencies

============================================

Taxpayers should find out which banks are facilitating this.
<><> Which banks are designated the repositories of municipal tax dollars.
<><> Which banks are dispensing tax-exempt bond proceeds.

REFERENCE Thousands of Muslim refugees are flowing into the small Idaho town of Twin Falls because of closed-door decisions made by a group of self-serving advocates in and around Washington D.C.

One key player is Lavinia Limón, CEO of the U.S. Committee on Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI). That’s a government-backed group that is paid to place migrants in American towns.

================================================

Trump and Sessions MUST close down every single one of these tax-free "identity" organizations and foundations raising money to overthrow the US govt.

FIRST---Instruct the IRS to pull their tax-free status.

THEN---Prosecute them all for aiding and abetting the overthrow of the US govt.

================================================

ACTION NOW Contact your Representative

FBI TIPS PAGE--YOU MAY REMAIN ANONYMOUS ---https://tips.fbi.gov

SUBJECT: Collusion, conspiracy, bribery
IN RE: financial irregularities
REFERENCE: financial fraud, govt fraud, falsified documents, wire transfers, accounting fraud, etc.

NARRATIVE Taxpayers demand to know the scope and dimension of multiple conspiracies by to collude in sub rosa deals to personally profit and/or to facilitate terrorism schemes using public/govt monies.

OF INTEREST TO LAW ENFORCEMENT The FBI should interrogate USCRI-connected individuals for evidence of multiple schemes to falsify official documents to further fraudulent schemes. The FBI should investigate any and all official documents submitted to the courts.

Crimes might include---conspiracy, collusion, falsifying official documents (a felony), financial fraud, govt fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, extortion, theft, misuse of tax-paid facilities, and financing terrorism.

Examine tax returns with a fine-tooth comb.....especially entries for "interest income." ////The Bank Secrecy Act should be mobilized----to follow the paper trail and determine how monies changed hands; to determine the scope and dimension of collusion in sub rosa deals, who might be personally profiting and if financing terrorism is being facilitated.

<><> L/E needs to examine govt bank accounts.

<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer funds from one account to another, and/or wire-transferred offshore;

<><> To cover their tracks, fake invoices might be created to show that money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate purposes.

<><> Financial schemes scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of funds for insiders' personal use and/or for redistribution schemes.

===============================================

NOTE WELL Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes and financing terrorism. “The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.

Shady banking transactions could be prosecuted under the (1) Bank Secrecy ACT, (2) RICO, and, (3) the Hobbs Act.

=============================================

<><> L/E should get ahold of: (1) copies of govt checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including snail mail, e-mail, mobile devices, cell phones, (8) contracts, (9) loan agreements, (10) other account books or official records.

L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.

<><> L/E should scrutinize bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.

<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures;

Tax fraud may also be a factor, facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from legal bank accounts into personal accounts, or redistribution schemes.

<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support and luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel....... and gifts from luxury outlets.
