ITHACA, NY - Tuesday morning, Mayor Svante Myrick wrote a Facebook post pledging to welcome Syrian refugees to Ithaca.
Myrick said, "I'll do everything in my power to welcome Syrian refugees to Ithaca. We must guard against terrorism, and if they have no place to go these refugees are the most likely to be victims of terrorist acts."
Accompanying the post was a poll conducted by Fortune Magazine in 1938 and republished in The Washington Post this morning. The poll displays American's opinions toward refugees displaced during World War II in 1938.
The poll showed that Americans were overwhelming against allowing refugees - 67% of respondents responded with the option "Circumstances as they are, we should keep them out."
Myrick said, "If we turn away all Syrian refugees, we are committing the same sin."
Myrick will be participating in a call with the White House later this afternoon. The call, he says, will help him learn "what can be done to safely welcome refugees" to New York.
The response to Myrick's post was largely supportive, with many praising Myrick's compassion. Others expressed concerns, echoing common fears that Syrian "refugees" could be radicalized terrorists themselves.
Others criticized Myrick's priorities, noting that Ithaca is already facing a housing crisis and has many homeless of it's own whose needs are not being met.

They can kill all the safe zone libs. Darwinism at its best.

I want Ithaca to experience the joys of Islam. Let it become a Sharia town, and fence it in to keep all the liberals from leaving.
New York is lost. Can we vote these idiots off the island?
How close is Ithaca to Islamberg?
The dark side of me hopes these “refugees” ran rampant at Cornell and U. Ithaca; two bastions of “white privilege”.
Let them ALL go there.
It’ll make for easier destruction.
Why deny the City of Evil the company?
a good place for diarrhea.....
Ithaca College is a major player in the “safe places” idiocy.Mayor Myrick welcomes the No Civilian Lives Matter religionist refugees. Sounds like a liberal cage match to me. Bring your popcorn.
Good. Problem solved, send them to Ithaca. All ten thousand. Second choice Colorado since they want them. The problem is that Colorado is a naturally beautiful state if you ignore the cities.
Now this I approve. Let ‘em get hoisted on their own petard.
So there is no difference between the Jews running from Hitler and these animals?
Lots of places to burrow in and hide in Colorado.
