… IT’S NOT JUST THE COST YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT
|| By FITSNEWS || As the refugee resettlement debate in Spartanburg, S.C. heats up (again), questions are being raised not only about the costs of the program – but about the safety of the communities “welcoming” these foreign immigrants under the guise of Christian charity.
Ever since we broke this story back in April, our website has been consistent: We oppose these resettlements.
“We explicitly reject the use of federal tax dollars – routed through liberal foundations – to impose long-term obligations on South Carolina taxpayers,” we re-affirmed this week. “If faith-based organizations wish to host legal immigrants on their own dime, that’s great – but their activities cannot be subsidized by government revenue. Nor can they be permitted to impose affirmative new obligations on already over-taxed citizens.”
Unfortunately, such obligations are being imposed on South Carolinians right now thanks to the administration of governor Nikki Haley – who supports these refugee resettlements. In fact Haley is reportedly on board with a plan to double the number of incoming refugees to the South Carolina Upstate next year – ostensibly in the name of Christian compassion.
So to recap: Already overburdened Palmetto taxpayers will be forced to provide for these refugees (with state funds) after liberal “philanthropic” organizations received federal tax dollars to bring them here.
Make sense? Of course not …
America simply cannot afford that. And South Carolina certainly can’t afford it …
But this issue isn’t just about new taxpayer obligations – it’s also about public safety.
To wit: The brutal murder of Portland, Maine health care worker Freddy Akoa, a Christian who police say was beaten to death earlier this month by three Muslim refugees – Mohamud Mohamed, 36, Osman Sheikh, 31, and Abil Teshome, 23.
Akoa’s death is described in gruesome detail in this World Net Daily report, right down to the “22 rib fractures,” “lacerated liver” and “blood-spattered Bible … found lying next to his head.”
Wait, though … these are Somali refugees, right? Aren’t the ones coming to South Carolina supposed to be from Syria?
Yes … but …
An estimated 1,100 Somali refugees have been resettled in Portland over the last thirteen years – part of a whopping 110,000 Somali refugees sent to America under the auspices of the U.S. State Department and the United Nations over that same time period. And the influx is ongoing – with an estimated 600 to 800 Somali immigrants arriving in America every month under “humanitarian” scams like the one being perpetrated in Spartanburg.
One U.S. congressman – Brian Babin of Texas – has called for a halt to the resettlements. Earlier this year Babin introduced legislation – the “Resettlement Accountability National Security Act of 2015” – which would suspend the program pending a review of its costs and its impact on national security.
So far not a single U.S. Representative has co-sponsored Babin’s bill …
Supporters of the resettlement programs claim the effort is being led (and funded) by evangelicals, but as noted in our original report this spring “previous resettlement campaigns couched as ‘evangelical’ efforts have in reality been front groups for liberal campaigns like the National Immigration Forum – a group that’s received funding from organizations affiliated with billionaire liberal financier George Soros.”
Also these “non-profit” organizations – including the World Relief group orchestrating the South Carolina resettlements – receive the majority of their funding from the federal government.
Our guess? “Christians” wouldn’t be so quick to support these programs if they knew the truth …

You did not say anything it, except about how much you hated Romney, pre-election, 2012. So STFU about it now.
You knew Obama and the Democrat Party were desperate to replenish their fraudulent voter base. Abortion, non-child-producing homosexuals and the total failure of the Democrat Party under Obama is depleting them.
And when all the money runs out, how will y’all pay the government workers?
Enter: a mass of illegal handout-seekers in hopes to save your sorry asses. But you’ll find “nothin’ from nothin’ leave nothin'”..to quote Billy Preston…
“Moon,” Not sure what you’re referring to. We broke this story wide open in SC and are the ONLY media outlet in the state reporting on the truth behind the “evangelical” scam. Would you prefer we ignore it?
Will, you do know that is Big T posting, right?
He likely suspected as much, since the only substance you’ve EVER produced is the mentioning of Big T’s name. Otherwise nothing you’ve ever posted is worth reading.
Except in relation to Big T, you are irrelevant. Whereas Big T is Mr. Relevant.
Sucks for you to be that insignificant. But the Democrat party gives your life meaning, only as a sponge for the Bullshit with which they fill their minions. It’s your fault for allowing yourself to be used like that.
Blah, blah, blah…typical rambling generalizations of a miserable liberal. How many times do I have to tell you to come up with something new? Every time, it’s “the only substance you ever produce is”, “you are irrelevant”, “pop culture”, “Democrat party and their minions”, etc. You may have fooled Folks but you can’t fool anybody else on here. It’s a perfect example of a weak mind to repeat the same robotic generalizations. That’s the only substance YOU ever produce. Oh yeah, that, and using an argument that logically infers the conclusion that Germone Hopper is better than Pharoh Cooper. Keep avoiding that one like the plague, Big T.
I think that poster has a trust issue with this site because of your visceral hatred for Republicans, while soft-handing the Democrats who are destroying this country.
Until the Democrat Party – and its empowering media – is obliterated, we cannot even begin to think about cleaning up ANY of these problems.
There is way too much camaraderie with – and seeking from – pop culture and the media to believe this site is based in any sort of true reform.
This site leads us right back to Democrats in control of our government, working against the will of the people who build it.
GrandTango comments, Will replies, GrandTango responds pretending to be a different commenter, as if the rest of us couldn’t figure out his game. lulz
Welcome new guy.
For clarity, you do acknowledge that actual religious organizations are profiting off the Government dole as well? In my view this is criminal.
You seem to be the ONLY media outlet in the U.S. who is reporting this story – at least the only one my Google News Alerts has pulled up. I didn’t realize “Alerts” was so slow since I only rec’d the notice this morning.
Good for S.C. and Spartanburg for pushing back. The “Sanctuary Cities” for illegals are in truth pockets of unconstitutional secessionists; the push back against this “refugee” seeding project carried out by the State Dept and other under-the-radar unaccountable agencies has been going on for years all over the country. With the hundreds of other stealth “resettlement” projects there have been no news reports.
The “faith-based” orgs used for cover are not representative of the far larger number of church-goers within their denominations who would not be on board with what these groups, operating in their name, are doing. We have so very many Americans desperate for work and training; these groups could be helping their own, but they don’t. Instead they drag in 3rd world peoples who are not here bec they like us but because life in their home country is hopeless. These people will never assimilate. They are nothing like the immigrants who came here to build a new life and contributed to the greater good of the country, adding their own strengths to the larger mix…our vaunted “melting pot”. These new groups do not learn English but demand translators who can inform us of their demands. Few of them will ever be self-supporting, nor will their children.
The Dems already ruined two generations of black people, destroying the strong black family culture in the process. Daniel Moynihan warned LBJ that his so-called “War on Poverty” was in reality a war on black families and would destroy an important strand of the larger American culture. To which LBJ said, “yeah, but they’ll be OUR voters. The GOP will never get them back”. Moynihan went on to serve as a senator from NY, but the whole degradation of the Entitlement Culture that he sadly predicted and saw play out was – I think- part of the reason he died earlier than he might have otherwise. Ironically, one of the architects of this ruin, Hillary Clinton, moved to NY and successfully campaigned for his seat.
Ann Corcoran at Refugee Resettlement Watch is the only website I know which reports on all these “seeding” projects. And now you seem to be the only media outlet ANYWHERE “reporting on the truth behind the “evangelical” scam. As a Virginian who knows well that our rural area could be next, I hope you KEEP ON TELLING THE TRUTH.
BTW, there is a big solar company suddenly opening up in a county not far from where we are. I will be watching to see if it’s not a set-up to employ people who haven’t arrived there…yet. No word on the finances for this green project.
For a look at a town that successfully fought back, I recommend looking up Lawrenceville VA. There are also some home-made You Tube videos of the town meeting which defeated the government’s attempt to open up the historically important St. Paul’s College there, and use it for the “children” that were escorted to the US from Central America. The townspeople voted down the attempt…iirc, the first word they had about this “humanitarian” project was when they saw strangers cleaning up the property as though they planned to use it. Word spread quickly that these “strangers” were temp federal employees.
St. Paul’s College probably belongs to the Episcopal Diocese of Southern VA and they must have signed off on this govt attempt to use it. The diocese holds endless workshops on racism but they’ve got the perfect venue for REAL training and they don’t use it. For many generations the college was the ONLY place for black men (and eventually women) to receive ministerial training.
Hi, BigTango
OH MY!!!! Sing the truth preacher.Blacks don’t like Hillary,Joe or Vermont Bernie! Middle America has turned their backs on the perverted and lawless Democrat Party. 2014 told us that. Hillary is stuck at 42% in the polls. They need a whole NEW base of voters-Illegals-or they will cease to exist.

He was sometimes called the fifth Beatle. GREAT LINK. And FULLY represents the Democrats, Obama and Hillary. (:
Do you guys at least turn the lights out while you wank?
Fed Ex just delivered my Trump ‘Make America Great Again’ hats!
Was made in the USA! We are back!
Now you have party hats for the wank a thon
George Martin,their producer,and sometimes musician,was ‘the 5th Beatle’
Eeewwwww!!!!! Gross!!!!! Immigrants. They don’t speak ‘merican like we do, and they ain’t well educated like we is, and they ain’t Christians like we is. Eeeewwww!!!!
Ewww…they shit on the floors of their taxpayer supplied apartments….Ewwww..10 years after the first Somalis came to Minnesota, 90% are still unemployed drawing public assistance. Ewwww….dozens of then have joined ISIS.
Well put Rocky.That is Mexico’s immigration policy.
Frankly, you inbred knuckle-draggers could use some new fish in the gene pool.
Without a new ‘gene pool’ we can’t get elected anymore.
So, I guess you wouldn’t vote for Ben ?
And the “fish” we should take in should come from that great third world continent where they have made so many advancements in the history of mankind?

Good point, Jackie! No reason that we shouldn’t repeat their mistake.
Immigrants aren’t gross, well maybe the illegal ones are a tad. What’s gross is the cynical use of refugees under the guise of compassion to gain federal money to further failed progressive policies at the expense of the gullible, American taxpayer.
71% of illegals are getting taxpayer funded federal assistance.
100% of the rich are getting tax breaks.
And why shouldn’t the rich get to keep the money they work for or inherited? By your logic and the liberal logic, it’s okay to give money to people who don’t work for it, but it’s not okay for people to keep money they do work for.
1, I bet I work harder than you. 2, I believe in a flat tax for all. 3, You properly believe a fair flat tax for all is some kind of liberal socialist agenda.
So now you are bringing this down to a personal level. Well I don’t know you and you don’t know me, but I’ve been working since I was 14, graduated the top of my high school class and college, and have been employed by the same company for 13 years- 3 promotions in that time period. All while raising a family and never with government help. Same goes for my husband. And yes, I do believe in a simple flat tax for all and there should be no yearly property taxes. But I also believe that we should stop entitlement programs paid for with tax money. Taxes should pay for military and medical coverage for the elderly, period. (Maybe a little for the roads since we do have to use them to go back and forth to work! :) ) Now, if you have been working longer, it’s probably because you are older. And you may work harder physically because I do have a comfy office job which I earned through obtaining a good education and moving up through the corporate ladder.
That’s what we do here, my intention was not offend. Good for you.
No offense taken. That’s why I tried to respond as nicely as I could. :) Besides, I’ve always been told not to dish it out if I can’t take it. And I always enjoy a little heated debate, makes life more interesting.
You’ll like it on fits, we’re good, thanks.
I appreciate your respond to this person. But, I realized a long time ago that responding to the least common, and I do mean common, denominator on this blog is a waste of time. They avoid the subject, relying mostly on name-calling and derogatory comments as a response.
And you have to consider that this is a free and open blog, your comments are public and everyone is free to respond. I have chosen not to read, and not to respond to their inconveniences and annoyances.
Your posts are well thought out and well conveyed, making good points. Don’t get in the intellectual ditch with these cretins, it will just embolden them to keep making bigger asses of themselves than they already are.
If you spot one of them saying something intelligent, let me know.
Good luck, and ignore them.
Ah yes, I’ve seen some of the comments people make. But honestly, I’m not going to let words on a computer offend me, and I don’t believe Sic Semper was trying to offend me at all, just testing the waters of this newcomer to the blog.
Now, I know there are some who will reply with ugly, harsh words, but they are just words. At the end of the day I’m still me and I’m still makin’ it just fine. If people can’t deal with harsh criticism, whether true or not, then a public blog in the land of the free is not where they belong.
Yet the vast number of your posts are half truths taken from your extreme political bent. You sir are a fraud and are to be ignored as well. Enjoy your small world.
But we are net ahead with the ordinary rich, especially those that make useful things or provide useful services. Not only do we benefit from the things the make and do, but they actually pay into the system. In fact, small businessmen are becoming almost like indentured servants – they keep so little of the fruits of their labor.
What bothers me are the people who are getting rich moving human beings across the globe and telling them they do not have to assimilate in their new homes; rather they can become part of communities within communities and eventually a nation within a nation – until they are big enough to take it over.
Amen!
Why not ask what has happened to the Bantu refugees in Columbia? ‘Nuff said.
hell yeah! america got no business doin nothin fer nobody. what are we? a community of human beans? hell no we ain’t we are a corporation of self-interested entities loosely connected by a hatred of each other and everyone else. these ‘people’ will obviously NEVER contribute anything to our state, hell most of them cant even blog. shut the door!
Take some home with you then, idiot.
Send em to Mexico before Trump makes them build that Wall and pay for it.
At some point, this country has to establish some limits on immigration. Most civilized countries realize that they can not support an endless influx of refugees, not matter their circumstance.
Try going to Switzerland, Japan, and other civilized countries and overstay your Visa. They will come looking for you and on a plane you are, out of their country. No endless appeals, based on perceived rights that don’t exist.
They also do not open their borders to and endless supply of refugees from other countries. Sounds tough, and it is, but a country has to protect its sovereignty, provide for its own citizens, and ensure the safety and well-being of those citizens.
“Fundamentally changing this country through illegal access will eventually ensure that we will suffer economic, social, and political problems that will lead to a further degradation and our demise.
Limited immigration should be allowed, a mass invasion will soon lead to a lowering of a standard of living and social order that took centuries to attain.
Illegal immigrants should be forced to come here legally.
We should make it harder for people to come here legally.
Why are so many people coming here illegally?
To vote with the Democrats. That’s why.
And you said immigrants were stupid.
Well done. Glenn Beck is raising millions to try and get these families from Syria. Says 1 million will provide for 40 families for year.
I agree with him that if we open our borders to the sewage streaming across our southern border from Latin America, why not allow these some of these Christian people in that are typically doctors,teachers etc…
I say close the border, deport the illegals we can and move forward.NEVER give an illegal amnesty or a path to citizenship that doesn’t leave and enter legally.
Another problem that is impacting our educational system.
The Chicago school system has 66,000 students that can’t speak English.
Who will pay for that? We will.
http://catalyst-chicago.org/2015/08/bilingual-services-audit-tackles-long-standing-problem-in-cps/
erneba so you make note about the Chicago school system? When South Carolina’s SUCKS as it doesn’t teach students the basics (reading, writing and arithmetic), and the graduation is terrible. You are a joke.
Actually, you should blame the students. I attended SC public schools. I somehow managed to get into law school (in another state, even!) and a master’s program. I put effort into the system, and was rewarded. It isn’t the school system, but rather lazy South Carolinians who think that simply showing up for classes should somehow result in a quality education.

Thank you ASSHOLE for your most kind and christian remark about the “sewage streaming across our southern borders.” Anyone who follows Beck only affirms what an ignoramous they are. I assume like your pal erneba you came over on the mayflower as well.
Both are anchor babies.
Hey pal. Did you come over on the Mayflower? This country has been a land of opportunity and immigration. Typical southern mentality, only anglo christians. allowed. I just loved the comment that your friend and idiot flip made pertaining to hispanics as “sewage streaming across our southern border from Latin America” My what great and wonderful christians.
The countries need to exist for the purpose of the survival of the white race. The other races already have governments
Switzerland and Japan are the best examples of “civilized” countries? Look at their size. California is about 10x the size of Switzerland. Japan is almost as big as CA. It isn’t apples to apples comparison.
Holy shit.Dumber than ever.Carry on.
Twist, whatever your other thoughts or concerns might be Japan is like what 3-4 times the popoluation of California, Tokyo alone is probably 40% of the population of california? If you’re just thinking of land mass then look to aniatica for similarities, but even if I thought your comment was relavent the proper metric for your point would be population…
Population by country, Switzerland ranks 25 and while Japan ranks 10, roughly 1/3 of US population: http://www.indexmundi.com/g/r.aspx
Twist, you said “japan is almost at big as ca” when in actuality its well over triple the size of california…just an FYI. Not a big deal.
I was talking about land mass, as that is relevant to the topic. Japan has a high population, a very small country. Land mass is about the size of CA. So no, they are not going to have any refugee resettlements.
Haley is going to end up in federal prison for aiding and abetting. The woman is fucked up.
Not in SC, defund SLED.
You lie!
Where was the conservative whining when all those rightwing antiCastro Cubans streamed into America and into all sorts of federal aid, right up to college tuition?
If Nikki Haley approves the Refugee Programs in Greenville (World Relief, the new one that has done nothing it was supposed to do and had to rescued by the US Dept of State, a day late and a dollar short)) and Lutheran Services in Columbia and Greenville), then the last line of defense is your county council. Asst Secretary of State, Anne Richard asserted in a meeting in Spartanburg that they can put refugees anywhere in SC as long as the Governor signs on and sad to say, sources tell me she has signed on. Please sign this petition – its interactive map will let your councilmembers know (even if you sign anonymously) that you do not support the program. But you really should call them personally if you are interested at all in Western Civilization:
The petition is here: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/no-refugee-resettlement-without-local-ok/signatures.html
And this is the SC law that inspired the nationwide movement for local control of State/UN selected refugees into our communities:
117.132. GP: “Refugee Resettlement Program) No state funds shall be expended to assist in the United States Refugee Resettlement Program unless the county council of the county where the resettlement is to occur approves the relocation.” It was signed into law by Gov. Haley and went into effect July 1, 2015. It needs to be used, but may not be used if local people do not care about local control.
