Mayors Of Eighteen U.S. Cities Tell Obama They Are Ready To Take More Syrian Refugees
The Daily Caller ^ | 09/24/15 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 09/26/2015 6:08:54 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Mayors from eighteen U.S. cities signed a letter to President Obama saying they are willing to take even more refugees than what has been proposed by the administration.

“We will welcome the Syrian families to make homes and new lives in our cities,” wrote the mayors, all of whom are part of the Cities United for Immigration Action coalition.

“Indeed, we are writing to say that we stand ready to work with your Administration to do much more and to urge you to increase still further the number of Syrian refugees the United States will accept for resettlement.”

“This is a challenge we can meet, and the undersigned mayors stand ready to help you meet it,” they wrote.

The mayors who signed included New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh.

Perhaps those Mayors should allow for a 7 day comment period from the citizens?

We’d likely find them run out of town on a rail.

These “refugees” are comprised of fighting age MUSLIMS by a 4 to 1 margin over Christian families.

Looks like the perfect dem places for a bunch of ISIS Head Hunters and more freeloaders. Hey cities voters, elections have consequences.

Expense? How can you think such a thing!

This is a voter recruitment drive.

Pretty much the same way the Pope and Bishops here view the Mexican liilegals in America as a way for them to replace their lost customer base.

Good for them. each one they take in hastens the day the day destruction begins. By destruction, I mean heads getting cut off, malls and other paces where people gather getting blown up.

Now is the time for the Citizens to stop this. If they don't, well, they can kiss the United States as it is now known within 20 years. It might take 25 but it will be gone an will be turned into a hellhole like the Middle East is now. But I doubt anything will be done about it. It would take too much time away from watching Monday Night Football, Dancing With the Stars, March Madness, American Idol.

“They want to get their hands on federal funds!”

Yep, my guess Odinga will request twice the necessary amount of funds. The Dirty Mayors will buy their next relections, fund bankrupt pensions funds, glad hand the Union boses, business as usual. And the next Redumblican Speaker of the House will give him every penny.

Well, my sympathies are only with the people who didn’t vote for the traitors who are giving their cities away (and the whole country, once the “refugees” fan out). And I thnk it’s a sure bet that whatever number Obozo, Kerry, and the rest of the traitors in DC are giving us, it’s much, much higher in reality. I tell you all, we think this is bad, we may as well try to be prepared, because Hussein is going to go out with a big, big bang to We The People before he leaves. He’s probably laying plans with ValJar (or at least rubber-stamping anything she proposes), and it won’t be anything like taking all the “W”s off the keyboards, or even stealing the silver. It will be a good hard punch to the gut of this country. Just know it’s coming.

THIS IS ALL COORDINATED BY OBAMA HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!!!

The article makes it sound as if Obama was just standing around minding his own business when all of a sudden a bunch of mayors decided to write him a letter demanding to bring in more Muslims. The truth is that Obama and his troglodyte CAIR minions are actively bribing these mayors to take more Muslims and make it seem as if were their idea.
