Update from the editor: There are stories popping up all over the internet from various parts of the country where Syrians are already being resettled or about to be. I can’t post them all, so keep an eye on my twitter feed in right hand column and see those stories.
I’m so excited to report that so many other writers, researchers, bloggers, and just plain concerned citizens are working on unearthing the facts on how the federal Refugee Admissions Program works and getting that information to you. Maybe I can retire soon!
Here Tyler Durden at Zerohedge (hat tip: Christina) has a handy post for you with the newest map on where the resettlement contractors offices are located and you don’t even have to follow a link to access their contact information, he has it all in one post!
Remember though, as you look at the list, that the contractors can spread the refugees out in a one hundred mile radius of their office, and that refugees move from where they were placed, often within a few months. You might think your town is getting 50-100, but within a few years you have 1,000 as ethnic people move and coalesce (called secondary migration) around others of their kind in certain neighborhoods and towns.
Here is the newest map (go here for enlargement):
Be sure to visit Zerohedge for the all-important list of offices. Call them, and ask, are they going to bring Syrian (mostly Muslim) refugees to your town?
Pockets of Resistance are forming!
I don’t have an up-to-date list of where they are all located, but, if you would like to be linked with others in your area resisting resettlement of third worlders to your community, go here and sign up (Center for Security Policy) to be included in the new network.
