I want to congratulate the Commissioners in Missoula on their extremely poor decision to let Syrian refugees into Missoula.
Have you not been following what has been going on in Europe by these men? Violent rapes and gang rape is ramped along with violent riots by Muslim men. These people do not want to assimilate, they want people like you to submit to their ways and their religion or die.
Did you not stop to think what the taxpayers’ cost is going to be for free housing, food stamps and medical care? Did you not think about the cost to hospitals and schools for translators, let alone other added expenses? I heard from someone who has lived through an influx of these refugees and said they speak up to 22 different languages and dialects. I also would add, when I came to this country no school got a translator for my language. This same person said that the town is now sorry they took them and want no more, not just in their town but anywhere.
In Texas where they have taken them, 911 calls have jumped from a 1 minute wait time to a 10 minute wait time because of the violence these people cause. I don’t know about you but I don’t want to wait that long.
The moment one girl gets raped because you brought in these people, YOU should be held accountable along with the person who did the crime. Start doing your homework and find the truth about these refugees from people who lived through it.
I for one do not want them here.
