Someone wrote me an email today with this link to Refugee Resettlement Watch and asked the following:
"What do you make of this in the St.Cloud area?I responded "Facts and Data. See pages 5 & 6. Looks like the St Cloud area is growing fast and changing some." St Cloud Area Demographics
Do residents want it or was it forced on them?"
And yes these folks are ardent Trump supporters. That all said:
- What do you think of the Refugee Resettlement Watch blog?
- Are the majority of people in the St Cloud area happy to have their new neighbors who hold different beliefs?
- Since Liberals support LGBT rights and marriage, how does it make sense to bring in more citizens who are likely to be against those rights? It would be like encouraging the Southern Baptists to immigrate to your State / community... Then complaining that they closed the bars...
- Will communities where many of these practicing Muslims congregate tend to be pressured to be more "morally restrictive"? WT Muslims and Sharia Law

All I see in your post is fear.

"Are the majority of people in the St Cloud area happy to have their new neighbors who hold different beliefs?"
I don't know. Did we turn away the Irish Catholics because the predominantly Protestant population of the U.S. didn't like them?
By the way, we should point out that St. Cloud is still significantly less diverse than the state or country as a whole so the fear that the fabric of St. Cloud is somehow fading away when the city is only 94% white seems a bit overdone.
"Since Liberals support LGBT rights and marriage, how does it make sense to bring in more citizens who are likely to be against those rights?"
That some world class concern trolling there.
"Sharia Law"
Really?
Well what exactly would the religious right Christians have to fear of having more God fearing folks move into the community? I mean they share a history and many of the same moral beliefs and social norms.
I would think it would be the pro-abortion, pro-LGBT, women's right, etc folks who would be nervous about allowing more highly religious folks into our democratic country. I mean any religious practitioners where the woman chooses to stay covered from head to toe is not your typical Christmas and Easter Lutheran... They are people who are serious about living their religion.
When America Hated Catholics
Are you asserting American is a Christian nation, and we should view our immigration policies in that light?
Quite the opposite, I would think that the pro-abortion, pro-LGBT, pro women's right, etc folks would want to keep the general population as "non-religious right" / socially flexible as possible.
And here the Liberals are the ones arguing to bring a bunch of very religious people into the country.
As I said above, world class concern trolling. Are you done trying to force this on us?
Well hopefully for the women and LGBT folks in the country and local communities, the incoming Muslims mellow out when exposed to our tolerant non-religious culture.
Either way it is not going to impact my tame lifestyle if our society becomes more "moral"... Unless of course they try to implement prohibition again. Then I plan to put up a fight. :-)
