The U.S. used to be in charge of vetting the refugees we would accept. But now roughly 95% of refugees to the United States are vetted by the United Nations. The FBI has stated these refugees are from UN refugee camps AND it is impossible to adequately vet them. The wealthiest gulf nations are not taking in refugees for fear to their national security.so why should we? Many claim these refugees will assimilate and become "self-sustaining". "Self-sustaining" and "self-sufficient" are not synonymous. "Self-sustaining" means that World Relief or the local church or NGO is no longer providing aid to the refugee. The taxpayer, however, is still on the hook to provide for them for the rest of their lives and the many children born to them on our soil. It is well documented the majority of the Middle East refugees do not desire to assimilate. It is immoral and unprincipled to take from one person without their consent or knowledge to give to another. Wealth is not the only valuable that can be taken from the taxpayer.it has recently been proven unvetted immigrants have taken lives of innocent US citizens. What moral principle justifies bringing harm to citizens. or placing them in a disadvantage to favoring foreigners? World Relief could relocate these unvetted Muslim refugees in my county if you don't take a stand. President Obama announced 85,000 more refugees are coming this year and 100,000 the next year, mostly from the Middle East where all these problems are occurring. Are we supposed to allow importing these same problems into Pickens County? You should not ignore the safety of SC citizenry! Can you imagine all the "clocks" that will taken in to our public schools by unvetted Muslim's who are entering? The budget proviso adopted by the SC General Assembly: "No state funds shall be expended to assist in the United States Refugee Resettlement Program unless the county council of the county where the resettlement is to occur approves the relocation." WE need to nip it...nip it in the bud as Barney Fife would say. We are the taxpaying, law abiding, rightful citizens our elected leaders should want to protect and serve. I will be speaking and presenting a resolution to Pickens County Council on Oct. 19th to address this immediate danger to our county. The number one job of government is to protect its citizenry. You are failing us by allowing evil into our borders. You took a stand against GITMO detainees...now take one for our safety. Blood will be on your hands if one person in SC is injured by one of these unvetted Syrian Muslims!
