Arkansas took in about 1 out of every 1 million refugees who sought shelter worldwide last year — 13 of the 14.5 million refugees accounted for by the United Nations.
“This has to spread more, has to be shared more; otherwise the imbalances will cause knee-jerk reactions, closures, rejections, and, in the end, we will fail in our responsibility to help refugees,” commissioner Filippo Grandi told the BBC on Monday. He also said the number of refugees worldwide has probably grown to 20 million.A local group called Canopy NWA wants to raise that number despite a contentious atmosphere about the country’s obligation to alleviate what the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees has called a severely unfair burden on a few countries.
Canopy NWA’s goals are not large-scale.

Yes, and that is exactly why they don't want to talk about it, and pretty much have failed to do so until recently having been forced to.
Most of these seemingly kind and generous church groups have little or no connection to the actual churches in their titles. They are semi-governmental private contractors, making millions on 'refugees' (most are economic migrants, so are NOT legally refugees), being paid per-head. After a short time these contractors take the money and run, leaving hapless taxpayers trying to deal with extremely alien, usually Muslim, cultures. On top of countless pre-existing budgetary problems typical of most local communities, local taxpayers now have to deal with needing everything from lots more food stamps, many expensive translators (required by law), multiple language teachers, TB and psychiatric treatment, whole new categories of crimes, like female circumcision and a type of pedophilia acceptable in some Muslim cultures, and of course, the icing on the cake, flaming Jihadis--but the list goes on and on.
As for "two families a month," we can only hope the taxpaying citizens of Arkansas are not that naive. Ask the people of Minnesota and Maine, this is exactly how it starts--the contractors actually call this 'seeding a community'!--after which extended family members are endlessly chained-in, with some new unattached people, who then begin their own chain-ins, until a trickle turns into a stream, growing into a river. And it doesn't take long for a few quiet model 'refugees' to reach a tipping point, with their own aggressive advocates, some already available traveling throughout the US, who begin making angry demands for better lower-cost housing, and you name it. Meanwhile needy US vets, seniors and other deserving American citizens are forgotten. Sorry Sarge, gosh Grandma, you're just too unfashionable.
I recently heard of some refugees who when encouraged and helped to find jobs resentfully complained that they were being 'punished' by having to work. Take it from someone in California, which has suffered from its geographic location and an open-borders federal government for decades, you will find 'vibrant diversity' to be a plague upon your great-grandchildren. This is not the fault of foreigners, but our own utopian/cynical on-the-take Democrat and GOP Open-Borders Overlords, who for decades have managed to keep this 'refugee' scam away from any real congressional oversight and, God knows, any direct vote before the American people.
While the feds, the private contractors, the UN, the media and captured local officials will try to smirkingly ignore you, you must nip this in the bud!
Note: As mentioned by someone else, a great source on all this is Ann Corcoran's Refugee Resettlement Watch. Ann has been saying these things for years, only much better than I have attempted above.
