There are currently 2 primary refugee resettlement sites in South Dakota.
There is one in Sioux Falls and another in Huron. There has been talk that they are going to make Aberdeen a primary site also. Lutheran Social Service is the group that is bringing the refugees to our state. They are receiving an average of $5,000-$8,000 per refugee that they bring in.
The FBI director has said there is no way to properly vet these refugees. Last year, a Congressional Research Service report shared "that 74 percent of the refugees who arrived in the past five years were on food stamps, 56 percent were accessing Medicaid, 47 percent were receiving cash assistance, and 23 percent were in public housing. Only 11 percent were getting health insurance through an employer."
Please join us in telling our Governor and elected officials that enough is enough.
We the undersigned, demand that elected officials of South Dakota, including Governor Dennis Daugaard, with the assistance of Attorney General Marty Jackley, take any and all necessary actions to challenge the federal government's administration and operationalization of the refugee resettlement program in South Dakota.
