There are many on this controversial issues to question regarding this resettlement program. Under the current plan, the United Nations picks refugees for "resettlement" in the United States - a process paid for by U.S. taxpayers under the auspices of heavily subsidized (usually uber-liberal) nonprofits. World Relief - the group orchestrating this resettlement - received $38.8 million of its $56.8 million budget from government grants, according to 2012 data. That's nearly seventy percent of its budget. Many of these liberal groups masquerade as "Christian" charities, exploiting the social conservatives living in the Upstate region of the Palmetto State. Among them? The National Immigration Forum - a group that's received funding from organizations affiliated with billionaire liberal financier George Soros. In fact one of the groups receiving funding from Soros - the so-called "Evangelical Immigration Table" - has a South Carolina presence. Oh . and speaking of exploitation, once federal tax dollars have paid for these resettlements (via the U.S. State Department), local governments are stuck with the costs of providing for these refugees. This will perhaps not occur in SC since a new law requires local councils to approve or disapprove.

Thank you Gail Peirson, Christian, nurse, mother, aunt, SC citizen and happy to be one. God bless.
