NC: More on those Syrian refugees

VERBATIM

Update:  First Syrian family to arrive in Greensboro living in hotel, here.

This is follow-up story to our post of a few days ago where we learned that Syrians are arriving in the Triad area of North Carolina.  Resettlement contractor World Relief/Evangelicals expects 30-100 this next year (the fiscal year begins October 1).

Our top post for the last six days is this one about the State Department spokesperson’s comment that thousands of Syrians had been selected by the UN for resettlement to the US.  The largest percentage will be Sunni Muslims.


Refugees are not self-sufficient in 90 days as World Relief says below, but have been connected to “services.”  See our fact sheet for the list of social services (aka welfare) available to refugees.  They will be deemed self-sufficient even as they remain on most forms of welfare.

From the Winston-Salem Journal:

Organizations such as World Relief and Church World Service work with the U.S. State Department to resettle refugees from around the world.  [Both "church" organizations are actually federal contractors.--ed]

Timbie said World Relief High Point typically resettles 400 to 450 refugees in the High Point and Winston-Salem area each year. He expects to assist anywhere from 30 to 100 refugees from Syria in the next year.

The government provides money to help these families make it through their first few months in the United States. World Relief employees provide job skill and language training and help the refugees find jobs with local companies and connect to services.

“Our job is to make them self-sufficient within 90 days,” Timbie said.

That does not mean that they are on their own, Timbie said. It just means they are not relying on that upfront money.

  1. What needs to be the biggest take away from this story is this line: "The largest percentage will be Sunni Muslims."

    Anyone that is vaguely aware of muslims knows that the sunni are the biggest scums of them all . T

  2. Please say Rockingham county being highlighted is just an area. We need no sunnis there. Sorry to be jerkish, but it worries me.

    1. Don't make them feel welcome . Needless to say there is more than a world of different between these Muslims and the Vietnamese who escaped here after '75.

    2. In years gone by the folks over that way would have pulled out their
      best white silk outfit and paid those folks a visit late at night. Just sayin'

    3. :) Just leave me alone and I'll leave you alone as long as you are supporting yourself, but if you go on welfare, then we've got a problem.

  3. I so agree with you, Brock, and that point needs to be made over and over. The South Vietnamese were our allies and deserved to seek asylum here after we crapped out on them. If these practicing/believing Syrian muslims come here, what does the Koran tell them to do to the beneficent Americans?

  7. I can't wait until they show their true colors and there are no more ROEs for the ragheads. Then they'll be scrambling for the boats back to Sharialand. Fuck your Islime, and your Moronohammed. We true Americans DON'T submit, EVER.

  8. Heh, and it'll be so easy to wipe out masses of em while they're doggystyle on their prayer mats. We'll get multiple shots a day at it! Throw in the self advertisement with the towels on their head. Like fish in a barrel!
