PORTLAND – Portland Mayor Charlie Hales personally backed Gov. Kitzhaber’s position on welcoming refugee children to the state Wednesday.
Last week, Oregon took in 50 immigrant kids who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, supporting them as they await legal proceedings.
Kitzhaber said he welcomed the children with open arms. Senator Jeff Merkley also supported the governor's position.
On Wednesday, Hales weighed in.
“Immigration is a federal issue. The City of Portland has no official position on this topic,” he said. “But I’m not just a mayor. I’m a father. And speaking as a father, I stand with Gov. John Kitzhaber and welcome these refugee children to Oregon.”

They are not immigrant children. They are illegal aliens.
That’s a liberal in general. They not only want credit. It makes them feel good to give people your money. I have a stepdaughter who used to ask for stuff to give away. She never liked it when she was told she could give away anything she wants as long as she earns it. She still doesn’t earn anything and she’s 38 years old.
I doubt any will be moving in with Kitzhaber or Hales.
If Mark O. Hatfield were still around, he’d be welcoming them too. Oregonians never learn.
You are so right about the “white man’s help”; they are too confused to know what they are doing.
Nay, Oregonians are just transplanted New Englanders; they will never learn.
While HE goes home to his gated community.
And Cali.
“Speaking as a father”, Mayor Hales, don’t you think the kindest thing to do is to return these children to their fathers and mothers rather than house them in an impersonal dormitory being attended to by border agents?!?!?!?
As they say “Keep Portland Weird”.
Wierd
I take it Hales and Kitzhaber are big time commie lib ‘RATs and big fans of M13 gangbangers.
All three are hardcore Marxists who would love to see the border eliminated.
“Apparently the regime’s plan is to have these kids so spread across the country nobody will be able to find them to deport.”..........
BINGO! We have a winner.
