.…but you might think so if you read two articles that appeared in my alerts this morning!
I urge you to read the two stories here and here and remember three things (I know you know!).
- The little girl is the victim!
- Threats of violence against anyone are never condoned.
- Elected officials hate controversy, so keep the pressure on them.
On number three: Many of the elected officials in Twin Falls failed in their duty to be fully transparent with the community and all those concerned for the well-being of the real victim. Some called those who wanted answers (and are still waiting for answers) racists and bigots.
To see this cry-baby spin on the story now—that the poor elected officials are being besieged by e-mails from all over the country—is maddening.
They asked for the job of representing the people of Twin Falls, and as the saying goes, if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!
And, learn a lesson as it relates to the Refugee Admissions Program: Citizens of a community being targeted as a federal resettlement site have every right to all the answers about how the program is run, what it costs, who is coming and from where, and must have their questions answered as it relates to security and crime. Additionally, they must be told who in the business community is promoting and benefiting from the arrival of low-skilled workers from the third world.
I’ve long-since come to the conclusion that we can’t wait for Washington to reform this program, but all of you with concerns must work on getting local elected officials, who are unresponsive, hostile and downright rude and nasty to you, unseated!
You have more people on your side than you know!
