The Steel City inches a little bit closer to becoming a sanctuary city. Hizzonner seems to have a beef with the idea of Trump steering the green cards to people who are productive and who don't become a burden on society by signing-up for welfare.

A poll on the site currently has 89% opposed. Calling your voters a bunch of hateful racists is NOT good politics.

But he's a Democrat in a town with an 8:1 registration advantage and will surely run unopposed. So he can get away with it.

This guy is a creep. He’s an embarrassment to those of us living in Pittsburgh and it’s environs. Always trying to get his name out there to make himself some kind of demo big shot. There was a poll in the Trib this morning and 80% of the participants didn’t agree with him about his statement.

Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto, As an American citizen and as a citizen if the State of Pennsylvania I demand that you follow the law of our Nation and of our State. You are a mayor of a Pennsylvania city. You are not an elected member of Congress. You do not write our laws or decide which laws will be followed in our State. Do you job for all Pennsylvanians and Americans!

The mayor and others said the proposed rule change has spread fear among Pittsburgh’s legal immigrants, who are reluctant to apply for public aid programs even at the risk of losing homes and suffering health problems because they worry they will be denied visas.

Sir, you're an idiot. My great grandparents did not storm the gates at the border, throwing rocks at immigration agents while waving the Honduran flag. Comparing early immigration by those who wanted to become American citizens is VASTLY different than those who are coming here because they see America as stupid enough to provide a free lunch forever. Getting up to $3400/mo in aid without having to be a US citizen is stupidity and you, sir, are at the head of the line.

My grandfather immigrated, legally, in 1899. One of the things he had to prove upon entry was that he had the means to support himself without help from taxpayers or he had a sponsor who would support him if he fell upon hard times. I don’t believe he considered the requirement ‘hateful’.

"“What we’re talking about right now is nothing more than hatred,” Peduto said."

Asshats overuse of the "hatred" label is so tiresome.

This guys a pillow biting arse hat....

Pittsburgh proper is only a city of about 300k last I checked... and is only 56 square miles (approx)...

Peduto likes to think he’s important, but in reality, the city is not even a 10th of the population of the Pittsburgh Metro area, and you better believe if illegals start congregating in large numbers in this area, like they do out in other places, the local municipalities will happily be calling ICE

Democrats can’t lose in Pittsburgh. The last Republican to serve on City Council was in 1934, and that hasn’t changed even with a change to election by district. Some of the worst hacks have run against qualified candidates for Congress and other offices and won, just because they had the D next to their name, and the way to get the Dem nomination has always been by faithful service to the party and the elected officials, who have rewarded their followers handsomely.
