All you Syrian and Congolese refugees!

C&P
TWIN FALLS The College of Southern Idaho's Refugee Center is expecting an influx of Syrian refugees starting in October.

Projections show the center will likely receive 300 refugees from around the world during the upcoming federal fiscal year. That's the same number as this year.

Refugee Center director Zeze Rwasama anticipates the biggest populations of newcomers will be from Syria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

    Maybe (just maybe) the College of Southern Idaho needs laborers for their potato fields.

    We have a few Ethiopian people in Boise. Most seem pleasant enough. Although the language issue seems to be a problem.

    One fella brought his gov. issue debit card to Wal-Mart to buy a bicycle. Never spoke a word.

    Interesting.

    I did not think this kind of stuff happened in Idaho.

    I also see where the USGov is shipping a lot of Middle easterners to Detroit.

    There should be ample room for them to set up camp in nearby craters of the moon.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Has anyone seen the old movie "the Second Civil War"? It's plot was based on the premise that the fed gov't forced immigrants on certain states. The states seceded. There was a war.

    Craters Of The Moon is Wilderness. No roads, no camping.

    If they did that it would pit Libs against Libs.
