About 100 Syrian refugees are being placed in a small city in Vermont, the home of socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, and they are not getting an altogether warm welcome.
In fact, when residents of Rutland, Vermont, found out about the secretly negotiated deal to seed their community with migrants from a Middle Eastern hotbed of Sunni radicalism, they were livid.
They packed a local library for an “informational” meeting Thursday night. At least 20 of them stood outside with protest signs, demanding that their mayor explain why he negotiated the entire deal with the federal resettlement contractors behind closed doors and outside the purview of public scrutiny.
Mayor Chris Louras simply “announced” on April 26 that 100 Syrians were being “welcomed” into the city after it was a done deal.
Even the Boston Globe acknowledged the Rutland refugee placement was “developed in near-secrecy” by the mayor and the government contractor.
The U.S. government is desperately looking for new locales to send the Syrians as it ramps up its “surge” of more than 350 Syrian arrivals per week in an effort to meet President Obama’s goal of 10,000 Syrians resettled by Oct. 1.
And in each new town that gets told, not asked, that Syrians are coming, the response has been divisive, with some locals saying they welcome the foreign “diversity” and others saying they have questions and fears.
