Well, I am finally on the road—so far I’ve traveled about 400 miles from home on my month-long RRW road trip. As time goes on, and if I have interesting news to report, I’ll have more details. But, I am mostly on a listening tour to hear directly from citizens concerned about the UN/US State Department Refugee Admissions Program and how this federal program is impacting their towns (both culturally and economically).
I’m hoping I will be able to sneak a little time each day to post other news, but yesterday’s struggle with a hotel wi-fi was pretty discouraging. As you saw though I was able to get a few bits of news posted and tweeted some other information as well. (Find me on twitter @RefugeeWatcher)
Here then are the Top Three most-read Posts of the last week at RRW (top daily posts are in the right hand sidebar):
Minnesota ‘sharia law’ billboard causing a stir
Massachusetts: Alleged assault by Syrian refugee exposes secretive nature of refugee program
Minnesota victim speaks in case of roving Somali gangs in upscale neighborhood
Thank you!!! I want to sincerely thank everyone who sent a donation in the last ten days. I promise to e-mail each of you individually soon.
For new readers! If this is the first time you’ve visited RRW, you might want to go back to the May roundup where I provide a long list of all the ways to research the refugee program at RRW where we have now written over 7,700 posts. Go here for that information!
