First Congolese refugees arrive in Missoula
MTN News ^ | Aug 20, 2016 | staff

The first family of refugees arrived in Missoula this week, marking the beginning of the re-opened International Rescue Committee office efforts to make Missoula home to over 100 refugees over the next year.

Missoula IRC office director Molly Short-Carr says the family is doing well and just beginning to figure out how to use household appliances like their stove, and which foods they can substitute to make meals they are familiar with.

The family of six is from the Congo where they fled a civil war before 2005. Since then, they lived in refugee camps in Rwanda, Tanzania or Uganda. Several children come with this group, having grown up in refugee camps. They have never been in classrooms like those in Missoula's public schools.

Short-Carr, who just moved from the African continent herself where she was working with refugees, is expecting 25 refugees, before the end of September.

The local group Soft Landing is assisting the IRC with resettlement efforts and organizers are in need of volunteers and financial help to support incoming families.

The average IQ in the Congo is 78. On the Stanford-Binet IQ testing scale (Stanford–Binet Fifth Edition, SB5, classification), an IQ of between 70 and 79 is officially classed as “Borderline impaired or delayed.”

Importing this foreign culture is like importing the asian carp or the zebra mussel into north america.

The "International Rescue Committee" is a part of the so-called "refugee industry", which profits from importing these future rapists, robbers, murderers, and welfare parasites.

They won't stay long in Montana.

They will have a hard time with the winter...and some will be dumb enough to freeze to death.

Through ‘66 and 7
They fought the Congo War
With their fingers on their triggers
Knee-deep in gore
The days and nights they battled
The Bantu to their Knees
They killed to earn their living
And to help out the Congolese

From another reference:

In 2012, the US Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) announced a new initiative to resettle approximately 50,000 Congolese refugees in the United States over the next 5 years (2013–2018).

That is the problem, turning the refugees into a commodity. If Trump is elected, he needs to figure how how to shut that down for the sake of our country.

To assuage our white guilt?

The rats who come up with these plans need extermination.

Because if Trump wins and builds that wall, where are they going to get more voters for leftist goodies?

More handouts a-coming.

“Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country,” would be mocked as racist by the MSNBC types if it was said in 2016 by a conservative.

One of the marauding militias down there is composed of Moslem jihadists killing Christians and pagans and getting retribution visited upon Moslem villages. I wonder if these refugees are Moslem. Being ROPers appears to be a requirement for refugee status in the ME and Somalia.
