pipedreams Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 "To make a very long story short, I learned that the Virginia Council of Churches , working for New York City-based Church World Service, had been quietly placing refugees in our county. I wanted to know if the people of Washington County had any say in the matter, and who told a Virginia church group that they could place an economic burden on a county that had a lot of burdens already. Our local paper, the Herald Mail, had no interest in explaining to our citizens how the program, which I had just learned was the US State Department’s US Refugee Admissions Program, worked. I implored the paper to investigate and report facts to help tamp down a growing anger as more people had questions about how the decision was made and who would pay for the needs of the impoverished refugees." https://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/about-2/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
