But there is one candidate for governor that has done his homework and does get it. Taylor H. Haynes M.D. is running for Governor in Wyoming. Wyoming is the ONLY state that does not have a refugee racket resettlement system in place.
The Lutheran refugee service (LIRS) is pushing hard to establish this new dumping ground for the refugees they get paid per head to resettle. The current governor Matt Mead is all for it. Why? Haynes gets it and has written the following paper explaining this folly.
Somali Folly: “The
Rest of the Story”
Why the Governor’s
Plan for Refugee Settlement Camps in Wyoming Must Be Stopped

Our
United States has immigration laws. People from around the world have prepared
themselves to come to the United States by learning the language and developing
marketable skills. They learn our history, our constitution, and swear allegiance
to our country and our way of life. They want not only to immigrate, they want
to assimilate. They patiently wait their chance at the American dream.
Gathering
up large numbers of people who are refugees from war torn countries, who
haven’t prepared themselves to come here, and who largely shun our culture is a
travesty as it undermines our system of immigration. The refugee green card protocol
is being used to legally undermine our workforce, and through the influx of
alien values, it undermines our Judeo-Christian culture.
Refugees
can also potentially compromise our national security. The US
Citizenship
and Immigration Services implemented several policies authorized by Homeland
Security that exempted over 400 refugees from terrorism-related inadmissibility
grounds in 2013. [1]
Who
then gains from this blatantly unethical practice?
For
one, it is a lucrative business for refugee resettlement agencies which receive
a per capita grant of $1,875 per person. Additionally, the Office of Refugee Resettlement
(ORR), a division of Health and Human Services, has over 200 grants available. In 2014, Congress allocated $1.489 billion
to ORR, which equates to around $24,800 per refugee per year. [2]

The
meatpacking industry, for another, is in it “whole hog” (pun intended). According to Jessica Schaid of the New Mexico
State University, meat packing plants benefit from turnover in several ways:
1)
keeping aggregated labor costs low;
2)
preventing many workers from becoming eligible for health benefits;
3)
allowing the plant to use job training funds to supplement the wages
of new hires;
4)
And depending on unstable workers who are less likely to become union activists. [3]
This
is a government sponsored, job killing, cheap labor scheme where high turnover
rates create a host of social welfare issues.
For example, despite the claims of fair wages, refugees who are employed
in the meatpacking plant in Greely Colorado are now coming to Cheyenne to seek
social services. [4] Nearly 60% of adult refugees are on government medical assistance, 70%
are receiving food stamps, 32% are in public housing, and 38% are getting cash
assistance through TANF or SSI.
It
is my opinion and intent that “public assistance” must be limited to
United States citizens.
Somalia, Congo and other war torn countries have no formal governments such as we are
accustomed to. We are living in an ever-increasing police state where too much
information is gathered on U.S. citizens and there is essentially no real information
on the new labor they are importing.
These
refugees, and the hordes of people flooding the southern border, are a ‘soft
invasion’ which left unchecked will cause us to become like other countries in
the world that are mostly dependent on
the government. Our government is in turn in bed with multinational
corporations only interested in the cheapest labor they can get.

The
risk of imported diseases is quite real. The Association of State and
Territorial Health Officials 2013 report noted that 60% of new tuberculosis
(TB) cases, including 85% of multi-drug resistant (MDR) cases in the United
States, occur in foreign born patients. This report also recounted that the
SARS epidemic of 2003 and the H1N1 pandemic of 2009 was facilitated by people
coming into the U.S.from foreign countries. [5]
The
report went further to point out that Refugees who are resettled in virtually every
state are the most vulnerable at-risk population entering the United States. This is due to the limited access to food,
vaccination, and health services prior to coming to the United States. Many
suffer from mental health problems often associated with traumatic experiences
like war prior to their displacement. Crowding
and poor sanitation in refugee camps contribute to outbreaks of polio, measles,
and cholera. There is no screening for diseases like HIV with long incubation
periods.
Sexual
assault, rape, trafficking, polygamy, domestic violence and child marriage have
all been reported in refugee camps, according to the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Around
45% of refugees resettled in one large resettlement state in 2009 to 2011 tested
positive for hepatitis A antibodies. [6] Thus the influx of large numbers of people
in this situation poses a threat to public health and the above noted risk to our labor
force and indeed our way of life.
This
must be stopped at Wyoming’s border!
