The federally-funded refugee resettlement contractors*** are working overtime (and LOL! probably receiving overtime pay!) to get governors and county elected officials to send their consent to ‘welcome’ refugees to your state and county by Christmas.

The consents will be good only for a portion of this fiscal year (2020) beginning in June.
News accounts are too numerous for me to write about, except I will find time to write about any counties in America that join Appomattox, County, Virginia! Or, where any patriots put up a fight!
And, if the contractors fail in court—yes, of course, they have filed a lawsuit to stop the President’s reform initiative—the process is expected to be repeated for the 2021 fiscal year which begins October 1, 2020.
However, although news accounts are plentiful, actual approval letters on file at the US State Department are sparse as of this morning.
Click here to see which governors and which counties have signed up.
Note that cities have sent approvals, but according to the funding guidance, here, it is the county government that must opt-in or opt-out.
If you have opened RRW for the first time with this post, please see my category ‘Where to find information’ for all the news on the President’s Executive Order.
The contractors are working to acquire as many consents by Christmas so that they then know how to craft their grant proposals which are due in to the State Department by January 21st. This whole initiative is built around federal money (your money) for the contractors.
***For new readers these (below) are the nine federally-funded refugee contractors that monopolize all refugee placement in America. For decades they have decided in secrecy where to place refugees and they don’t want to lose that power because even as they pontificate about their religious convictions and humanitarian zeal, they are Leftwing political activist groups working to change America by changing the people and using your money to do it!
