Does Anyone in Cheyenne Care to Know About This? (Gillette: 2014, apartment)

Scary and abhorrent at the same time. Must be stopped.

I know about it.

You run a program funded by the Feds? You play by their rules.

You don't want to play by their rules? Don't take their money.

And get called a bigot.
Political Correctness dismisses truth, is dangerous, and should be thrown into the trash where it belongs.

Wasn't there supposedly going to be a refugee resettlement program in Gillette at one point? I seem to remember a discussion on here about that.

There have been hundreds of different types of settlements in Wyoming. For instance, stop at McDonalds in Sheridan. The owner sponsors groups to move into Wyoming. He gets 10-12 each time. The deal is, he starts them at $9.50 an hour, furnishes a residence for each 3. Furnishes medical insurance. Furnishes. transportation to and from work. For all of that, they must agree to work for him for one year. He's had Chinese, Bosnians, Taiwan's, Thailand, etc...

The reason he does this is he simply can't get enough local help. Larry Storo, the owner, owns both McDonalds. in Sheridan, the Buffalo store and the Gillette Store.

These are people that qualify for a work Visa, but don't have the funds. Part of moving to the US on a qualified Visa is they have too have the funds to survive for the first year, as far as medical coats, dental, living expenses, etc. We don't want people coming to the US and running up massive bills, so there are monetary requirements before they are accepted. OR, they can sign up for the sponsor program where the sponsor agrees to pay any bills incurred in the first year.

The sponsorship program is a win win situation. They are already accepted and have a work visa in hand, just not the proper funds.

I found out about the program by meeting these folks. You see, we host a Christmas dinner and buy presents for all of them, and then have a Christmas party for them. Most of these folks have no idea about Christmas. Las year, we cooked up 23 pounds ribeye, we deep fried a turkey, and we baked a turkey. Of course we had all the trimmings too. Yams, mashed taters, fruit salads, veggie casaroles, cakes, ice cream (home made, we made them help crank on it). Absolutely nothing religious, just dinner, hand out gifts (each person got 5 gifts), and then party. Keg of beer, lots of hard liquor.

When somebody migrates like that, they cannot pursue their field for one full year. Some of these folks working at McDonalds, are Doctors, Nurses, Phsycologist, Scientists, etc. They work at McDonalds for one year and then can pursue their field. Some stay with McDonalds and if they do, they now have to find their own apartment. Usually, before they even reach a year, they have lined up an apartment, have enrolled in College, or set up testing in their field so they can get their credentials reinstated.

This has been going on for over 20 years that I know of. It is a Federal Program and states must comply.

Somalia is one of the countries that have been sponsored for years, its nothing new.

There are several things in this article that don't ring true. For instance, Larry sponsors a dozen or so, every year. At the end of the year, their English is outstanding. I don't know of any of them that have gone on welfare, or any that have went on subsidized housing. Almost all of them have went in to a professional position. Like I mentioned, Doctors, Lawyers, Machinists, Teachers, Professors, etc. One of them, 5 years ago, went to McDonalds and started. Talk about a fast learner and hard charger, he is now the Store Manager in Buffalo. Not simply a shift manager, but that store is his to run. He handles the books, does inventory, writes schedules, trains new people, everything, in just 5 short years.

I remember you talking about the situation with the McDonald's in Sheridan. I haven't been there in a while but I have noticed that it was staffed by foreigners. I've noticed the same with the Cody location. Maybe it's a similar situation? Thanks for sharing additional information.

So the Muslims are actually assimilating? I'd like to see a news story about it.

Isn't that what you posted, a news story? Or are you talking about the sponsorship program? Its not news, it been going on for decades.

[MtnJam]

Uh, no, I posted a news story about the danger of sponsoring these Muslim groups, most of which do not want to assimilate into the U.S. The ones here in Ft. Morgan, CO are separatists in their own right. As the article mentioned, that Cheyenne $ was meant for LOCAL folks.
