100 U.S. cities beg Obama for more Muslim refugees
WND ^ | 11/02/2015 | Leo Hohmann

Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, mayor of Baltimore, almost gets teary eyed when she talks about the need to rebuild her city with immigrants and refugees.

It's an issue that's close to her heart, but the argument she uses is not new. It's the same line that is touted by the mayors of other cities, mostly in the Rust Belt, like Baltimore, Minneapolis, Detroit and Pittsburgh.

They crave a steady flow of new immigrants and refugees, they say, because their economies depend on it. Too many of the native-born middle class whites have long since departed for the suburbs.

Baltimore, for instance, has lost a third of its population since 1950. Detroit has lost almost half of its population, and Pittsburgh has also struggled.

William Peduto, Mayor of Pittsburgh, PA

No surprise there. As Liberal as they come.

This is how “Democrat Ghetto” cities get money to keep their ghetto alive.

There are all sorts of Federal and State funds that flow with the immigrant to the city and the organizations within the city who fawn over the jihadists.

Also, by bringing in these immigrants, legal and illegal, the Democrats keep their US Representative and their State Representative.

Finally, the immigrants, legal and illegal, are voters and I suspect many are illegal voters.

Follow the money and politicians readily provide the answer to their actions.

The more of these idiot operators who advocate for unlimited immigration, the more I support a wealth tax of 95% of all assets of anybody with over $1 billion. Until it hurts them personally, they will use their money as a weapon against real Americans.

I would hope that there is still a large portion of the US population who would fight such a thing. Then again, maybe that is all the better since “those malcontents” would be out of the way.

It would take some time to transform the whole nation. Oops, there’s that “transform” word again. A Freudian slip.

I wonder if these Democratic mayors realize that these refugees are going to be living off the public teat just like the current residents of the city.

If no one works, there’s no money to pay for handouts, honey.


Well that is how it use to be when the city paid out the welfare checks. The “New Deal” changed all that and now welfare comes from the federal government. Baltimore, Detroit, Cleveland etc. cities main industry is welfare. The population lives off welfare and the city receives money to pay the police, fire and hospitals workers to service the population. The only thing keeping these people in those cities is welfare. The Boston Marathon bombers were getting all types and forms of welfare to live in this country and eventually bomb our people.

I think some public demonstrations are in order.

This is how Maryland colonists, subjects of the King of England, responded to the Stamp Act:

“The crowd fashioned an effigy of the stamp distributor, which they paraded throughout the town in a cart while a bell tolled mournfully. Hood’s effigy was then flogged, placed in a pillory, hanged and finally burned. Crowds elsewhere in the province soon staged similar proceedings.” - http://www.dsdi1776.com/signers-by-state/samuel-chase/

Meanwhile in New England:

The first conflict of the American Revolution might be said to be the result of the Stamp Act of 1765. In August of 1765, Andrew Oliver, the stamp agent in Boston was hung in effigy from the Liberty Tree and forced to resign his commission.

“What a greater Joy did ever New England see
Than a Stampman hanging on a Tree”.

Lt. Gov Thomas Hutchinson, regarded by the colonists as much too cozy with the Crown agents, and the sheriff attempted to break up the crowd around midnight only to be driven off by a hail of stones and harsh commentary.

A couple of weeks later a crowd gathered and lit a bonfire on King St in Boston. They then moved on to the house of William Story, a Crown agent in the admiralty court. The crowd swarmed the house, destroying Story’s papers and his furnishings as well as Court records held there.

The crowd then moved on to the home of Boston’s Controller of Customs, Benjamin Hallowell. They tore down his fence, broke out his windows, stormed the house and stripped it of contents.

The next target of the night was Hutchinson’s home. The Lt. Gov. had gotten warning and sent his family to safety. But his eldest daughter had returned and declared she would stay unless Hutchinson also departed. Hutchinson retreated with her to a neighbor’s house. The crowd did its work again and left only a shell and a partial roof to greet the dawn.

Politicians never learn.

Wouldn't take much at all.....really. The younger generations have little critical thinking skills, they’re like the kids that follow a Piper...no resistance....government compliance is easy for them. Besides..not 'a single' mass demonstration has changed anything the government wants to do....it has to be months and months of such and nobody has that kind of time except the unemployed.

Thanks for pointing out the major industry of the Democrat ghetto cities is handing out welfare and all sorts of other funds received from the State and Federal Government.

It would be informative to see an analysis of the myriad handouts that are currently available.

Conservatives do not think that handing out welfare is a job. On the other hand a Democrat believes handing out welfare is a powerful job as they get to control other people.

This has me totally confused. Whites leave the city, which leaves minority neighborhoods. Are they looking for immigrants to build up businesses closed by Whites?

I think that the feds would try to disarm the public first. They might be bold but they not foolish. They prefer the slow and low approach. A little bit here a little bit there... until.

You are correct that younger generations are lost. Most can’t think critically or worse are brainwashed.

Wonder how well the “immigrants” would be accepted by the inner city folks.

Lemme guess — not well.

“Wow, muslim “refugees” versus the Baltimore yutes.
I wonder who will prevail?”

Wrong question. The radical Muslims and criminal urban youth are more likely to end up joining forces. Remember the Palestinian protesters who joined the fun at Ferguson?
