    If you follow the Fox link you'll come to this:

    "According to Amelia Rosser, the Interim Assistant Director for the Refugee Empowerment Center, the items donated in each welcome basket will be sorted in the center’s donation area, then distributed to refugee families and those seeking help from the Refugee Empowerment Center based on need.

    "When asked about the presence of voter registration forms in the donated baskets, Rosser said she “could neither confirm, nor deny” their inclusion, adding that “the voter registration cards would not be distributed” to refugees that had just arrived in the United States.

    “As we will be sorting the donations, to be putting them to their like supplies that we have, to be given out to refugees based upon need, the voter registration cards would not likely be distributed,” Rosser said."

    - See more at: https://www.conservativereview.com/...-refugee-welcome-baskets#sthash.fzR96IRk.dpuf

    (My emphasis - more @ the URL)

    & so the headline is misleading - yes, the NDP included a voter registration card in the aid packages they assembled. However, the packages are taken apart & only the appropriate items go to refugees - & since refugees can't vote in US elections, the registration card won't be distributed to them. & the registration card itself makes clear that only US citizens can vote in US elections.

    Yes, an orientation to voting in the US would have been more appropriate - which may have been the intent with the registration card, as that likely contains a brief description of the process. That description probably centers on the mechanics of how to register, however - not appropriate for a refugee, who needs to gain citizenship first.

    They don't - the NDP solicited & assembled baskets for distribution to refugees. However, the NDP doesn't give the baskets directly to refugees; they forward them to a couple (2?) agencies that allocate the baskets out to refugees. & the recipient agencies disassemble the baskets, & distribute to refugees whatever is useful or helpful for refugees - which doesn't include a voter registration card, because a refugee can't vote.

    If you bore through the URL to Fox News, & check the URL contained there, you eventually get to this key bit of information. It's best to actually read the stuff that's posted, unless you already know the material.

    Nah, the NDP doesn't hand the aid baskets directly to refugees. They go to aid centers, which disassemble the baskets & distribute what's useful to refugees - which wouldn't include voter registration cards, as refugees can't vote.

    As for Muslim food, the specifications for halal food are very similar to kosher - so much so, that Islamics are allowed to eat kosher food. In any event, in order to avoid starvation, Islamics may eat non-halal food. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halal

    "Kosher meats, which are consumed by Jews, are permitted to be eaten by Muslims.[23] This is due to the similarity between both methods of slaughter and the similar principles of kosher meat which are still observed by some Jews today.[24]"

    Takes a fool not to realize this is on tape and isn't being denied.

    No they can't vote.. Every voter registration in every state explains that you have to document your US citizenship.

    The Dems in this community routinely give welcome baskets to newcomers and they are made up in batches in advance. Obviously refugees can't vote so it was probably an oversight. This is the same welcome basket that would be given to a new resident from Ohio or Indiana, etc.

    Liberals are just hellbent on destroying this country.

    Importing more poverty without fixing the poverty problem already here. Idiots.

    Don't be silly. Most immigrants work very hard to build a new life, learn English and assimilate.. They always have. I have friends whose parents were Eastern European Jews. ..They were forbidden to speak Yiddish in the home.. or any other language other than English.

    Non-citizens can vote in numerous lower level elections in the US. Legal residency is the only requirement for many elections and for things like votes on bond issues in many places in the US.

    Not all the radical left fools are on the east and west coasts. It is quite apparent we have some here in the fly over country too.

    Which requires an ID correct, so what all the fuss about having to show that same ID at the ballot box to insure you ARE the person registered under that indentity?

    It's time they all grow up, evolve and fix their own countries. Stop relying on the US to save the world and us the US as everyone's dumping ground.

    And it's no longer in our interests. Our account is overdrawn, we are broke and screw them all and the camel they rode in on.

    They're doing it out of spite. All because their candidate didn't win. It's not like they're inviting these people into their own homes either. They're doing what they normally do with immigrants and refugees, segregating them into low income neighborhoods..

    Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
    With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
    Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
    A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
    Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
    MOTHER OF EXILES. From her beacon-hand
    Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
    The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

    "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
    With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

    The US was founded by migrants.
    Donald trumps grandfather was a Bavarian migrant.
