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.

What I find interesting about that list are the two citys missing from it ; Detroit, and Toledo.
Since you mentioned Valjar my observation about her is that while certain talk show hosts; Most who just shoot off their mouths without going into any research into what they’re talking about. As they or their staff member assigned to research only use the information they hear or see on MSM. When they should be using additional sources one of which is FR for background .They shamefully think that Obama does the same when he uses uses that “Bully Pulpit”.
Obama is not a talk show host. He made that mistake once. Which was corrected by that beer bust. Obama is not the type of guy who makes a mistake twice that creates a political backlash. When he steps up to that podium and makes his “Bully” utterances. He doesn’t do a Trump. He’s discussed his agenda and considered what he’s going to say with other trusted associates chiefly Valjar.
And that all started with the Zimmerman thing. Which is why I say this regime is complicit in all those racial assults and murders by black thugs defending Treyvon Martin’s so called honor. Which have gone ignored. And the subsequent cop killings, and riots that destroyed small black businesses as well.
residence = residents
Jeez!
You and I, along with others know and aware of that. However, the vast majority does not wish to know that. They prefer the comfort of their denial the ,”It can’t/won’t happen here” and the “It cant/won’t happen to me” syndrome is alive and flourishing. I do not know about you, but as for me, I am long in the tooth and do not expect to be around 20 years from now. But for those 50 and under, my advice would be to prepare both mentally and physically. I may be wrong but I believe that it is coming. And thank you for the information and response.
How many ARE NOT Democrats?
Cities United for Immigration Action coalition
Just what the heck kind of *coalition* is this group? Who founded it, who heads it up and who are their funders?
Just curious.
I suppose those cities already have their share of “diversity”, Hussein’s administration and the UN’s Agenda 21 have already announced their intention to hone in even at the zip code level to find places lacking in “diversity” and, using such programs as HUD, give those places their “fair share” (though the rich leftist playgrounds such as Martha’s Vineyard will probably have immunity for a while longer, the “NIMBY” syndrome).
At BLACK AMERICA’S expense.
These Mayors are screwing their constituents and their constituents are too stupid to see beyond their fried chicken plate.
I also am long in the tooth, and grateful on my knees to God to be so, it’s our loved ones from younger generations who will have to deal with the worst of what’s being done, and all generations either through malice or willful ignorance are complicit in it.
Thanks for the list. It narrows down the list of American cities that I would ever visit.
Now I’m waiting for the list from Harper on what Canadian cities will be ‘blessed’ with additional muhamedan ‘guests’. The Cons say 10,000, the Lieberals want 100,000 as does the NDippers. God help us.
I drive a school bus in the older, eastern side of Calgary and experience their driving habits all the time. I understand why women do not drive in Arabia, but why do the men? Arrogant idiots all who shouldn’t be driving a mule, let alone a vehicle! moslems make up slightly more than 5% of the population, yet the serious crime rate by mozzies more than doubles that percentage, mostly Somalis. We are also ‘blessed’ with a 40-something, socialist, ‘light in the loafers’ moslem mayor (mare?, nag, perhaps) who still lives at home with mommy and daddy!
Calgary USED TO BE a good city!

MAYORS DE BLASIO AND GARCETTI ANNOUNCE EXPANDED COALITION TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION IN SUPPORT OF IMMIGRATION REFORMS
As part of Cities United for Immigration Action, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti led the effort to organize more than 70 cities and counties, the National League of Cities, and the U.S. Conference of Mayors in arguing that the national public interest is served clearly and overwhelmingly by implementing immigration relief by executive action without delay. The brief also argues that the District Court judge’s decision to block executive action with a preliminary injunction is bad for the economy, hurts families, threatens law enforcement priorities, and will stall desperately needed changes to the federal government’s immigration policies.
“Continuing to delay implementation of the President’s executive action on immigration hurts our economy and puts families at risk,” said New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. “Cities are where immigrants live, and cities are where the President’s executive action will be successfully implemented. Our cities are united, and we will fight for the immigration reform this nation needs and deserves – whether in the courtroom, in Congress, or in our communities. Make no mistake about it: our voices will be heard.”
“We are steadfast on a concrete immigration policy that will keep families intact and the country’s economic prosperity on the rise,” said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who established a Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs. “This is a nonpartisan issue that should focus on people and not politics.”

What type of activities are they sponsoring? Sanctuary Cities?
Louisville, KY is on the list. Figures Mayor Fischer would agree to this.
Perhaps citizens should block their arrival like they did in Murrieta California.
They’re digging my grave.
Yours, silly.
UPDATE:
Some advocates have expressed dissatisfaction with the level of drama involved in the coalition’s start: An early fight over the authorship of a high-profile legal brief left immigration leaders frustrated by what they viewed as a heavy-handed approach by officials in New York. At least one major advocacy organization, the National Immigration Forum, quietly withdrew from the coalition this year.
“The coalition is incredibly important, but the model wasn’t really working for us as an organization,” Ali Noorani, president of the National Immigration Forum, wrote in an email to immigration officials in multiple cities in February.
Mr. de Blasio, a Democrat, has appeared to turn the focus of his own national advocacy elsewhere, starting another project, the Progressive Agenda, in May to highlight income inequality in the 2016 campaign. There is an immigration plank in his liberal platform, but Mr. de Blasio has scarcely mentioned the issue in national speeches.
Cities United has rallied cities in select spots to tackle immigration-related concerns. So far, its main activity has been litigation: The group filed two amicus briefs in support of Mr. Obama’s contested executive actions, which would grant new protections to undocumented immigrants.
(snip)
The spat, however, raised lingering doubts: In an email shortly afterward, Mr. Noorani, president of the National Immigration Forum, asked a top Los Angeles city official for her assessment of a Cities United proposal, “given the incredible amount of drama they kicked up on the amicus.”
“Not worth it!” replied Linda Lopez, the chief of immigrant affairs for Mayor Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles, a Democrat.
Mr. Noorani, who described his group in a November email as “the behind-the-scenes coordinator” for Cities United, informed officials in February that the forum had halted its collaboration with Mr. de Blasio’s group.
That is an accurate, concise description.
