First District Supervisor candidate Angela Valles has condemned the "dumping" of Syrian refugees into Victorville, saying she would sue the federal government and seek to cut off refugee welfare benefits after it was discovered 23 Syrian immigrants have resettled in the city this year.
Valles also accused her opponent, San Bernardino County Supervisor Robert Lovingood, of being "either oblivious to the placement of unvetted Syrian refugees in our community" or actively covering it up. A campaign statement she released Tuesday said that the federal government was required to consult with local jurisdictions before settling refugees, citing a hard-line immigration reform group as its source of this premise.
The revelation that 23 Syrian refugees re-settled in Victorville this year, according to the Refugee Processing Center, was first reported by Valles' campaign. She said she believed "America comes first" and that any aid provided to refugees should be confined to occurring within their own country not here as to not "jeopardize" locals.
By the way, Angela Valles is a very attractive, Hispanic Republican. Great stuff in this article.
Resettling someone doesn’t mean they’re going to stay there, or even that they’re going to stay on the grid. These 23 Syrians could vanish at any time. Leave Victorville for parts unknown and potentially do all sorts of unsavory things within our country.
There are parts of Victorville where they would fit right in.
Give em hell, Angela
That’s the attitude more of us should have
“...citing a hard-line immigration reform group as its source of this premise.”
A real journalist would’ve fact-checked this ‘premise’, instead of just making a snarky comment.
