My question why be selective and not bring all of the people here......all are in danger, why are we being selective? All the women and children are in danger......who is paying for all of this? Many kids here in Idaho can't get government assistance to go to college, but refugees can
Spokane also will be getting around 500-600 people.......this is happening all over. Doesn't make sense to create war in their countries, then displace them into the USA.....I am
Refugees MUST be treated as individuals. They MUST assimilate into the US and understand our way of life, the American Enlightenment and what we cherish. If we are unwilling to receive them in this manner or create the conditions that lead to isolation and balkanized community, then we should admit our shortcomings and politely resettle them elsewhere.
The model decision node is that of parenthood. Just as young couples unwilling to make the sacrifices of their individual lives and life as a couple to embracing the raising of a child ought not have children, so too should a country unwilling to integrate refugees into American life ought not accept them.
Likewise, incoming refugees ought to focus on making the sacrifices to integrate into American culture and the American way of life. Those unwilling or unable to do so, ought not come.
Finally, I would like to see a return to sponsorship in immigration. My father came over this way, under the auspices of a guarantor.
I believe the Syrians in Twin Falls are sponsored, Sandpointian. I can't remember if the sponsors were a civic group or a church… the second, as I recall.

It isn't only Spokane. In CA you do not even have to be legal to take a college seat away from a qualified American. And, don't even get me started about medical care....
I hope the voters will think before they vote next time and get involved with government to increase the election candidate pool.
Maybe they're putting them here to force diversity.
Sad to think they don't even think of the people they're placing here. Idaho has no huge work force, our Universities are not out of the ordinary and it snows a lot in this state. Why place people who will not fit in due to demographics and will have a hard time advancing? Language and culture is just the beginning for the. The center where they're going says, "they're ready for them!" Has anyone thought or asked if these people are ready for Idaho, hardworking people have left here for warmer more advanced land.
One thing to come here, on ones own desires, another to come, after being forced out of their country from a war (the unspoken one) we were involved in........... I am still

I'm sure that isn't the case. Idahoans have taken in refugees for as long as I can remember from areas of conflict all over the world. I've met quite a few of them, and even more of their children, over the years.
I know nothing of the Syrians, but for a fact, there are a lot of Syrian Christians; Syria was visited by the Apostle Paul, and one of the earliest Christian churches was founded by him there and never vanished over time. The Syrian Orthodox Christians are a lot like those in Egypt, Ethopia, and other places in the Middle East and N. Africa. All have ancient Christian faiths that are as old as Christianity itself.
ISIS is going after and killing these Christians just as much as the Shiir'a and other sects of Islam.

Are they not wanting to tell us these are Christians? Seems we would know these were Christians being brought in......I haven't heard this. Would like to know who and how they found these people????
Wonder why some in government feel we can go in a cause war, then tear the people from their own culture.
