Another big battle is brewing over Syrian “refugees” sweeping into small-town America.

Rural folks in Montana are pushing back against plans by urban elites to plant hundreds of Muslims from the Third World into Helena and Missoula. They plan a protest rally at 10 a.m. Monday in front of the county courthouse in Missoula. And if the pattern holds of similar rallies in Twin Falls, Idaho, and Fargo, North Dakota, a contingent of pro-refugee people will show up to counter protest.

Of all the 50 states, there are only two that have not received their “share” of the nearly 1 million Muslim refugees that have been infused into more than 180 U.S. cities and towns over the past 35 years, compliments of the U.S. State Department and the United Nations.

Those states are Wyoming and Montana.

Wyoming has received only five refugees from the federal resettlement program since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and is currently not participating in the program (although Gov. Matt Mead has indicated he’d like to restart the program). Montana has only received 61 refugees since 9/11 and none since 2008.

Compare that to neighboring Idaho, which has received 10,730 refugees over the same period, according to the federal refugee database. WND reported last week that Chobani’s billionaire Muslim CEO has been working with the federal government to import refugees to work in his massive yogurt plant in Twin Falls.

That has caused tensions as far out as Sand Point, in northern Idaho, where mayor Shelby Rognstad tried to lay out the welcome mat for Syrian refugees but was forced to retract his proposal after extreme blowback from the community, the Boise Weekly reported.

Another neighboring state, North Dakota, has been on the receiving end of 4,912 U.N. refugees since 9/11, according to the federal refugee database. Colorado has absorbed 18,122 refugees, Minnesota 37,838, Washington state 36,395, and Nebraska 9,161.

Obama’s plan to import Syrian and other Muslim refugees has met spirited resistance in South Carolina, Idaho, Minnesota, North Dakota and Michigan. Residents in many areas of these states have let it be known they are not on board with the progressive vision of a multicultural America. They argue, with mounting evidence, that such policies in Europe have led to rampant crime, mass rapes and terrorism.
