Refugee Resettlement Watch Roundup For The Month Of June 2015 — Readership Booming … So Is Resettlement
07/09/2015
Ann Corcoran’s RRW review for the month of June 2015 is up (in fact, it’s been up for days, I’m tardy in passing it along) and includes the top three posts of the month:
- The number one resettlement state in America is Texas (primer part I)
- Dead Somali ISIS fighter had ties to Lewiston, Maine
- Idaho: Get ready for Somali refugees as county approves huge meatpacking plant near Boise
Somali clan leaders among the refugees had targeted Lewiston for resettlement, and when Mayor Laurier T. Raymond, asked them to stop, he was denounced for “bigotry.” Now in addition to importing refugees, they’re exporting terrorists.
Also on Refugee Resettlement Watch:
- Aljazeera article about Temporary Protected Status for Syrians tips us off — thousands of Syrians in US illegally
- You pay into refugees’ savings accounts! Contractors manage the money
- Montana response to refugee plan includes dire warning (featuring content from Paul Nachman)
Although June wasn’t our biggest month ever (May was), one thing worth noting is that as of the end of June (6 months into the year) we had more readers so far in 2015 than in the whole of 2014.If you’ve never been to RRW before, a roundup is a good place to start.
