Thouands of Iraqi refugees headed to Florida
Who says the Iraqi invasion was a failure? Yeah, it devastated over 4,200 American families, dealt a body blow to the economy, and fired up hatred against Americans among hundreds of thousands of Muslims. But if you're going to make a multicultural omelet ... well, you get it. These folks certainly do:
Iraqis displaced by the ongoing U.S-led war are among new groups of refugees who will increasingly be resettled in communities throughout Florida and the country, a United Nations official said Wednesday.
The United Nations has referred more than 42,000 Iraqis to be resettled in the United States, and of those, 15,000 already have arrived -- many of them religious minorities or single mothers whose husbands were killed, said Larry Yungk, senior resettlement officer with the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees.
So of course the Iraq Invasion was a victory. Communist China gets billions in American t-bills, Iran gets dominance in the Middle East, and we get more diversity. Talk about win-win-win!

Grrreat...more mouths for the U.S. tax payer to feed.
Is this part of the government's agenda to ruin the South? Take one state at a time? I mean Florida's pretty much gone, this just adds to it.
katras22,
Yes, yes, and yes.
The only retort that works for me here is my favourite explative:
Son-of-a-bitch!!
Mark Thomey,
I share your frustration. Feel your pain.
But you have to admit, my friend -- are these globalists good at what they do, or what?
Katras and Mr. Tuggle--I lived in South Florida for six years. There are more than a few places where few, if any, speak English (my grandparents emigrated from Europe, and they all learned and spoke English. Same with those of my friends). I felt like a foreigner during much of my time down there. While I agree with much of this post, I don't think that sending a relative handful of Iraqi refugees is going to change it much.
42,000 here, 42,000 there, and before you know it, we will be a minority in our own country.
And let's not forget -- 9/11 was carried out by just a handful of Muslims.
I'll add my observations on this with the Vietnamese repatriation in the 70's/80's. When I worked the hurricane Rita claims in Port Arthur, TX in 2005, there were whole communities of Vietnamese , many of whom were shrimp fisherman with US government loans. Now they share the same plight as native born American shrimpers being undercut by foreign imported shrimp sold in the US by large retailers such as Wal-Mart. The point is these Iraqis will suffer the same fate of globalism as the Vietnamese shrimpers have...many will wish they had never come. The disgruntled will turn to terrorism if they cannot return to thir homeland.
Scary indeed!

Maybe Possum will give them a room, so they can attend flying school.
