LANSING (WWJ/AP) – Michigan has one of nation’s largest Middle Eastern populations and Gov. Rick Snyder says he “would love to see it grow.”

The governor says Michigan can expect to see more Syrian refugees in the coming months as his administration continues talks with federal officials about the role the state can play in taking more refugees from war-torn Syria and the Middle East.

“The governor thinks it’s an economic plus,” reported WWJ Lansing Bureau Chief Tim Skubick. “And to those who fear that the immigrants would take away jobs, the governor says, Michigan has a record of immigrants coming in and actually creating jobs.”

The Republican governor spoke Tuesday to the inaugural meeting of the state Commission on Middle Eastern American Affairs in Lansing. The board works within the Department of Civil Rights to monitor, evaluate and make recommendations to the governor.

The only jobs created by the Arab population around the Detroit area is for themselves. Probably 80 percent of the party stores, smoke shops, gas stations and quick mart are owned by them. Most are in crime riddin places and get robbed regularly.

In addition Michigan politicians are so desperate for new cash, since voters turned down their last proposal to raise taxes, they will stoop to anything.

“Democrat, right?”

From the article: “The Republican governor spoke Tuesday to the inaugural meeting of the state Commission on Middle Eastern American Affairs in Lansing.”

More evidence voting Republican will not stop the decline of the USA.

There is nothing....nothing I need that comes from Michigan.

So have at it.

Though they may need more material for burkas there. Some of the gangsta girls in the hood have extra-large booties.

Michigan already has the largest Muslim population in the United States. How has that population increased jobs and expanded our economy as suggested by Gov. Snyder?

These RINO’s are completely out of their minds!

Notice that the State and Federal government mandates the invasion of the United States by these Muslims, Mexicans, and all points Africa, but, it is the tax payer that will foot the bill. Taxation without representation!

Yes, that's true, you know. Think of all of the extra police, security guards, court personnel, lawyers and prison guards you need with more and more Moslems in Michigan! Not to mention the rebuilding revenues that construction companies earn when bombs go off, and the money that doctors, nurses, medical techs and hospitals make after each rape, shooting or bombing.

Yeah, bring in all you can, Michigan's economy will just BOOM (yeah, pun intended).

I think you need to find some new sources of information. Michigan ranks about 7th or 8th in total muslim population.

GOP dhimmi and the American Angela Merkel.

This is the face of the Michigan GOP panderer to Muslim extremists.

Let’s hear it for halal diversity!

I live in the UP of MI and 90 + miles away in Menominee, MI the US Government wants to resettle 4500 Syrian Refugees in a city of 8500 people. Menominee has had a bleeding of businesses since 2005. All medical care is provided in Marinette, Wisconsin through Baycare Aurora health (Milwaukee, WI based)with its Green Bay affiliate. I did my mental health counseling MSW granting credential hours in Menominee, MI in 2005 - 2006, after graduating from UW - Madison. right now there is no mosque in all of the UP. If the syrans do come to the UP of Michigan. There is no facilities deemed for them for medical care in Menominee, no Halal businesses and the Michigan UP’s unemployment rate is around 12.7%. Theses people would be welfare recipients. Green Bay Wisconsin is 54 miles to the south and the majority of the Syrians would go to Green bay as it has its Muslim Mosque, cultural center and so forth and it has its distinct Muslim businesses all established on Velp Avenue around the Mosque.

Snyder is a liberal Republican - an Uber RINO.

He’s many things but being a conservative isn’t one of them.
