Pennsylvania Patriots rally against more Muslim refugees for Lancaster
Editor: This is cross-posted from my new blog American Resistance 2016! This kind of education effort is to be applauded and copied!
Two weeks ago I met a young man from Lancaster, PA, a vet who had done tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. I asked him if he knew Muslim refugees were being resettled in Lancaster and he said NO! (expressing shock).
He may know more now thanks to the good work of the Patriotic Liberty League which held a rally in Lancaster yesterday. (Click here for our earlier report) See the extensive coverage here at PennLive, a large paper out of Harrisburg. And, be sure to watch the videos!
Of course the spin from the reporting was that the pro-refugee advocates (in support of more Muslim migration to Lancaster) outnumbered those opposed. Make no mistake, by their support for more Middle Easterners and Africans for Lancaster, they are supporting the inevitable arrival of demands for Sharia compliance in the workplace and in government programs.
Church World Service (bringing Muslims to PA) is a multi-million dollar federal resettlement contractor. Learn more about them here (they are lobbying for 100,000 Syrian, mostly Muslim, refugees to be admitted to the US before the end of this year.) It is because of Church World Service that I began writing Refugee Resettlement Watch back in 2007.
From PennLive:
More than 200 people rallying in support of refugees coming to the midstate at times drowned out speeches by those calling for a halt to them in front of Church World Service in Lancaster Saturday afternoon.
About 40 people showed up on the side of the “End the Influx of Refugees” rally in Lancaster, arguing for an “America first” policy and said money should be spent helping people here in need, rather than on helping refugees come here.
The two groups chanted at times back and forth across King Street, but it was a peaceful three-hour protest. Eight Lancaster police officers kept watch over the group, including three on horseback.
John Rentschler of Berks County, one of the anti-rally organizers, said, “I believe we can help these refugees, and should, but we should do it over there,” referring to their home countries.
He also said the Gulf Arab states should be doing more to help the refugees, and that they should be trained to form a militia “to take back their country.”
There is much more at PennLive, continue reading here.
Keep it up patriots. And, don’t worry about numbers. You are educating so many and giving a voice to those at home who agree with you, but are fearful of speaking up.
Remember two years ago the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement assured an audience in Lancaster that there was no RESISTANCE to seeding towns with refugees and immigrants in Pennsylvania.
By the way, we heard from one of the pro-refugee demonstrators in a comment to my earlier post and this is what I asked of him:
For the record, so, you don’t have a minutes doubt about admitting large numbers of Islamists to Lancaster? No where is there a little niggling concern in your mind about the treatment of women and gays in the Islamic world? Do you think all of that is made up? Or, do you think that centuries of prejudice on their part will magically disappear once you give them a hug in that mythical American melting pot?
Over the years I’ve invited Leftists to explain to my readers (via a guest column) why they believe the US taxpayer must welcome mass third world migration to America. Will you write such a guest post? If you agree though, you can’t do the usual emotional appeal (country of immigrants blather) and you can’t call those who disagree with you racists, xenophobes, Islamophobes, bigots etc. Could you do that? Just explain in logical terms why it is good for America. Also, be sure to tell us if you have any limits. Is there some number in your mind that would be too many? Or, do you think our borders should just be dissolved? I really want to know.
Even if you don’t take me up on the offer of a guest column (no one ever has),I and my readers really want to know your answer to my last question—do you have any number in mind that would be too many migrants? Or, should America just be erased?
I urge all of you, confronted by those who welcome mass migration to America, to ask those last questions. (Silence!) We all know that if America’s borders were erased, we would be a third-world hell-hole in a matter of months.
Resettlement contractor David Miliband admits your anger over Syrian refugees is a threat to "global governance"

Know the enemy! Help make Miliband a household name!
Fascinating: Only 3 in 10 Syrian families even want to be resettled in the West
The new Canadian prime minister, boy Trudeau, had campaigned on the promise to bring in 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by December 31, 2015. They fell short by about 19,000! Here is one important reason why (you won’t see this mentioned by the NO borders agitators in the US resettlement industry!).
They want to stay in the Middle East! Can you believe it! They like their culture and they hope to go home!
From the Globe and Mail:
Omayma al-Kasem is bold, forthright and speaks clearly and with confidence. She has completed four years of law school and volunteers as a mental-health worker with a Jordanian charity, and as such, is exactly the kind of Syrian refugee Canada wants to welcome. The trouble is, Ms. al-Kasem isn’t interested in coming.
The 26-year-old from Daraa, Syria, is one of a sizable number of Syrians turning down the chance to become permanent residents of Canada. According to UN figures, just three out of every 10 households contacted about resettlement in Canada go on to relocate.
“Some families are still hoping to return home, others are concerned about their ability to integrate into another country – including learn the language,” said Aoife McDonnell, an external relations officer at the UNHCR refugee agency in Jordan.

One of the unspoken truths that the resettlement industry is loathe to admit is that many refugees who do reach the West are unhappy and want to go home, but they are trapped in a land where they have discovered (to their great disappointment) that no streets are paved with gold.
Lancaster, PA rally against more refugee resettlement TOMORROW!
***Update*** Here is news about what happened in Lancaster today.
Please see the story at ‘American Resistance 2016.’ And, if you happen to be in the area, help them out by attending!
See multi-purpose Leftwing protester Barry!
The funny thing for me is that in 2013, in Lancaster, the feds and their resettlement contractors were discussing ‘pockets of resistance’ but assuring the largely Pennsylvania audience that no resistance could be found in that state!
