First, does anyone have FACTS about this situation?

Having heard on radio that state govt officials often are not asked nor told of such resettlements of refugees, but Fed officials work directly with the 'accepting' group (LSS, in this case and IF this story if true), it does seem likely that LSS might be doing this for the money. Is there any way to find out.

And who is the parent organization of LSS? There are many denominations of 'Lutheran'. Not all are affiliated with LSS.

Before holding our breath till we all turn blue, OR screaming foul language, crude comments, etc., why not get the facts first, then act legally and sensibility to deal with whatever the situation, preferably in a truly Christian way.

Or..............you could sit around and gather the facts until after it's already happened.

Mike, thanks for posting the link to LSS. Very quickly going through some of the material, it is apparent that govt is giving our tax money to LSS for refugee work. Whether that is reimbursement for what they spend on refugee resettlement, or LSS making money for doing it isn't totally clear to me (my problem with transposing numbers is frustrating and makes me hate trying to do anything with numbers!).groups have been helping to re-settle refugees (true refugees of WWI and WWII originally, and continuing on with refugees from all over the world due to bad governments and aggressive groups abusing people.

The difference, imo, between then and now, and which LSS seems to ignore, is that earlier true refugees were grateful and eager to adopt USA ways when we helped them. Today, many of them obviously are NOT going to adopt our rules, but will attempt to turn the USA into ISIS, and in some cases, simply continue their 'old country' ways rather than becoming true and appreciative productive citizens of the USA.

Other thoughts from my quick search of the LSS website is that the Lutheran organization probably still holds altruistic and faith based ideas of saving all those people from an awful existence, even death at the hands of evil.......or simply places where there isn't an economic base to support all the poor people they have produced. OTH, some people, even in such faith based groups, can and do become somewhat addicted to money and power and will convince themselves that 'it is for the good of the people' to continue their 'mandate' with other peoples' money, even government money along with the donations they receive from the faithful. I do not believe that is proper use of our tax money.

Yet, I do recall that several areas of SD where there were no doctors for many miles that we got doctors from Latvia and other countries affected by that immigration program and they were wonderful for our communities, serving us well and being great citizens. We all benefitted from those people becoming US citizens when they had no homes left after WWII. I have no problem with that type of immigration, when people coming here genuinely want to become citizens of our country, as opposed to trying to turn this country into what they left! Which I do believe is a serious problem with too many of todays' immigrants. They should have to swear loyalty to the USA and become tax paying citizens.

I try to b charitable,.. but some organizations are so agenda driven that they would sell their mother to get a dime to fund their addiction.. (or in our local case their mother's nursing home... )

1961

Serving the Jersey shore, the Lutheran Home at Ocean View was dedicated on April 29.

2004

Lutheran Home at Ocean View purchased by Hospicomm.


after years of promises to not sell , they let it be "purchased" by a for profit corp

Let me make this clear.. many Lutherans give more then their share of time and talent to social ministries.. it isn't their fault the church's leadership are manipulative and that some will do or say anything to push their refugee agenda..
