You guys do realize there are many, many conservative non whites (including blacks) in rural areas dont you?...the narrow mindedness and stereotypes of minorities in this thread seems astounding to me. Minority =/= Inner city, urban, progressive etc. And white =/= Religious, Rural, conservative. You people need to step out of your bubble and interact with a variety of people.
The White House is aiming to diversify America's neighborhoods and “break down barriers” – but not everyone is praising its efforts. Some say the move is an example of executive overreach, and have accused Washington of seeking an "unrealistic utopia."
The Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule, a proposal from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is aimed at ending segregation found in communities across the nation.
On Monday I’ll be talking to a group in Ohio and so for those folks I’ve gathered some information on a state that seems to be newly targeted by Obama’s friends at Welcoming America. I first told you about thathere in July 2013, and again here yesterday. Top resettlement cities are Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo and Akron.
Ohio numbers….
Ohio has been receiving over 2,000 refugees a year since 2012, and all told in the last ten years it received 21,230. (See data base here.) I was surprised to find it that high. For comparison Delaware hardly gets any (zero in 2014) and Texas is getting over 7,000 a year. In fiscal year 2014, Ohio received the 7th highest number of refugees in the country.
The Obama Administration and the politically Far Left federal resettlement contractors probably recognize the electoral value of Ohio, so they want to make sure it becomes a reliably Democrat-voting state.
The states higher on the 2014 listthan Ohio (2,815) in the last fiscal year are in descending order: Texas, California, New York, Michigan, Florida and Arizona.
In the ten year analysis, the Bhutanese (6,607) saw the highest number of their ethnic group settled in Ohio followed by Somalis (5,611). Iraqis were next with 2,617. Remember though that especially with the Somalis, Ohio likely saw the Somali number increase more rapidly as secondary migrants (resettled elsewhere in the US) went to mostly Columbus to join their fellow Somalis to establish a large Somali enclave there. The secondary migrants are not reflected in that 5,611 number.
The years with the highest number of Somalis resettled were 2005 and 2006 (Bush years!).
Most Somalis were resettled in Columbus (over 4,700 of the over 5,000) with Cleveland getting 322 directly resettled there from Africa. But, interestingly 21 other towns and cities got Somalis, albeit in smaller numbers. Remember the Columbus subsidized housing riot in 2012! How would you like to see this in your home town?

The resettlement contractors and cities they are colonizing…
For new readers there arenine major federal contractors. Five of the nine dominate Ohio. Here is a handy list to find their contact information. (The ORR list is not just for Ohio, but for the whole country.) US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants works in Akron, Cleveland US Conference of Catholic Bishopsworks in Cleveland, Cincinatti and Dayton Hebrew Immigrant Aid Societyworks in Cleveland, Columbus, and Toledo Church World Serviceis in Columbus World Reliefis in Columbus Go here for all of the posts we have written on Ohio over the years. They had a recent terrorist arrest case there (Somali of course!).
And be sure to see my previous poston employment outcomes for refugees. Ohio’s employment numbers are pretty abysmal!

Welcome to the Internet. These people watch Fox News all day, listen to Limbaugh in the car, then read chain emails and conservative blogs about Obama being the anti-Christ. You expect them to think rationally?
I guess that's right, it is unrealistic to think people like that will ever accept a modicum of diversity in their cul-de-sac. How racist does somebody have to be to think only minorities use affordable hosuing?

I don't want low class ghetto whites moved into my neighborhood either. And what is diverse about making just white countries non-white?
Democrats are better for the economy, so would you rather pay slightly more tax with a $250,000 income or slightly less tax on $100,000 income? Democrats also reach out to minorities and are big on equal treatment, non-discrimination laws, while the GOP are the exact opposite.
That is insanely, incredibly wrong. Talk about being brainwashed.

Economy during Clinton -> Great
Economy during Bush -> Awful
Economy during Obama -> Good
Republican economic policies are give quick booms, but are not sustainable because easy access to credit, no accountability on bankers etc leads to a giant bubble that eventually pops. Think about the derivative trades, stated assets/income mortgage loans etc. They gave a quick boost, but all that is artificial and the pop was devastating.
Republicans promise to protect ignorant/fearful rural white folks from blacks, mexicans, gays, feminists, atheists, socialists, jews, muslims, etc. 'Cause you know- anybody who isn't ignorant/white/rural is eeeeeeeeeebil.
In return, Teabillies vote for Republicans whose only real goal is to redistribute ALL of this country's wealth to the billionaires.
This is pretty much it in a nutshell. And the Teajahdists "git 'ngrier n 'ngrier" because no matter how hard they vote Republican, blacks, gays and atheists still run amok. Why it almost seems the Republican Party doesn't really care about their issues at all! No worries though. You can fool all Teas all of the time.
If their hero du jour, Trump, were elected would Mexicans really be deported? Would Muslims be rounded up? Of course not - the only thing that would happen is the billionaire raid on public funds and goods would accelerate.
Because they're LAZY and expect the Richer blue states to pay their way.
Red States according to Statistics are more DEPENDENT on Federal Aids.
Heck, they're so lazy, they don't even go looking for JOBS! That's why the unemployment rates are so low in those states. (Unemployment only counts people who are LOOKING for jobs).
Until rural post secondary graduation rates increase sharply, neither party can help their economy. It will continue, in aggregate, greatly lagging the nation's economy.
