Residents of upstate South Carolina have fought hard to stop an unwanted infusion of Third World refugees – including some from the jihadist hotbed of Syria – into their community.

Since finding out in March about the federal government’s plans to send an initial batch of 60 refugees to Spartanburg County, they have appealed to their Republican congressman, Rep. Trey Gowdy, their Republican Gov. Nikki Haley, and their Republican-dominated local county council – looking for help.

All of those GOP strongholds have let them down, they say, as a Christian aid group, World Relief, has already dropped off 25 refugees, straight from the United Nations camps in Africa and the Middle East.

But one local resident, Michelle Wiles, isn’t taking no for an answer.

Wiles hired an attorney, who on Aug. 29 sent a “cease and desist” letter to the U.S. State Department, which oversees the U.N. refugee resettlement program that annually drops 70,000 low-skilled, non-English speakers into more than 190 U.S. cities and towns in 49 states. They are expected to be housed, educated and have their medical needs cared for, all on the taxpayer’s dime.

Cold shoulder from local county commissioner

Yet, when the taxpayers wants accountability, there is none, Wiles said. She found that most politicians from the federal level on down to the local council presume they have no power to stop the flow of refugees. Many can’t even answer basic questions about the program.
