I agree with all of your post but...Springfield, MA is a high crime awful place ruled by predator gangs who don’t like outsiders, so they are not doing the refugees any favors dumping them there.

Part of the reason the Mayor doesn’t want more refugees is that the police spend a lot of resources protecting the refugee sheep from their wolf-like “neighbors”.

The “new arrivals’ will assimilate quickly and the gangs will grow.
