A dozen U.S. mayors have agreed to support immigrant children from Central America seeking refuge.
Welcoming America, a nonprofit organization that promotes cooperation between foreign-born and U.S.-born Americans, released a letter signed by 12 mayors and a county executive promising to "compassionately support and welcome the young children from Central America seeking refuge in the U.S."
The letter acknowledged young children from Central American countries have traveled thousands of miles to seek shelter in the U.S. According to Welcoming America's letter, the Central American minors have encountered abuse during the travel north. Despite the minors' surrender to U.S. border patrol agents, the children still pursue help.

Welcoming America During Welcoming Week, four Welcoming Cities – Atlanta, Baltimore, Nashville, and Detroit – took huge leaps forward in their path to welcoming immigrants. These steps are not just symbolic gestures embracing newcomers – they are also momentous shifts in governmental and institutional policy that will tangibly improve the lives of immigrants.

“Welcoming America is a national, grassroots-driven collaborative that works to promote mutual respect and cooperation between foreign-born and U.S.-born Americans.” www.welcomingamerica.org
Welcoming America is hardly “grassroots”. They are employed by The Administration for Children and Families, a division of the Department of Health & Human Services. www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/orr/resource/technical-assistance-providers-1
Declaring unaccompanied minors to be “refugees” allows the government to then bring the child’s family to the United States for “resettlement”
The unaccompanied minors were brought here as a tactic

In recognition of the significant impact initial placement has in a refugee’s self-reliance and successful integration, ORR’ technical assistance (TA) programs are designed to facilitate the reception and acceptance of refugees through information dissemination, targeted technical assistance, and the engagement of local communities in promoting and fostering a welcoming environment. See below for a description of work provided by a few of ORR’s TA providers.
Welcoming America (WA) works with the national resettlement network and local communities to foster greater stakeholder engagement and a more welcoming environment for refugees. WA focuses on methods that promote a positive community climate for refugee resettlement and for the long-term success of refugees.

Obama identifies features of laws that can be exploited to advance his agenda. He then generates events that take advantage of those features.

Hey! They’re lowlife, scumbag politicians looking for votes. It ain’t their money! That loud laughing you hear are your “mayors”. Remember, these aren’t “refugees”. They’re lowlife freeloaders. The people that de Toqueville warned us about.

US Mayors Agree to 'Support and Welcome' Refugee Central American Children Really?
TWELVE MAYORS?
Out of around 1200, of cities with population of 30,000 or more?
Is this a joke?
Or have the ignorant overwhelmed the literate informed population?
How stupid have we all become, anyway?

And I suppose we shouldn’t expect them to keep any agreements.
Wasn’t the failure to check back in with authorities rate about 70-90% for these young people?
So if they agree to get vaccinated or get that TB looked at, que sera sera, whatever will be will be. Manana.
I can remember when foreigners wanting to become Americans were required to at minimum be able to show moral standards.
But here we have trespassers who are still breaking our laws, or at least failing to satisfy conditions laid down, and these mayors are falling over themselves.
Democrats. Schweinehunden.

Pro-amnesty American citizens must think that the rest of us 300,000,000 Americans are blind and stupid.
For instance, Pro-amnesty people demand that President Obama give work visas to at least 8,000,000+ illegals.
But what pro-amnesty traitors conveniently forget to mention is that many of these 8,000,000 illegals who will get work visas have husbands/wives and school-age children.
24,000,000 illegals get amnesty? My point is this: Pro-amnesty people are not really talking about 8,000,000 illegals, because they secretly know in their hearts that they are really talking about more like 24,000,000 illegals----3 times 8,000,000 illegals--- who will eventually get AMNESTY when President Obama takes his pen and quickly signs his executive order in a few weeks.
how did I arrive at the number of 24,000,000 illegals? I did it this way: I multiplied 8,000,000 illegals by 3.
1. Obviously, illegal immigrant men need their wives and children to keep them company. and many of them are already here.
2. And illegal immigrant women need their husbands to help them with the children.
3. Also, these illegal immigrants with their new work visas will now have no fear that immigration agents will be coming to their home to check to see how many in the household besides the visa holder are here legally.
4. So once they get their work visas, they can invite any number of relatives to live with them without fear that immigration officials will be coming to their unexpectedly to check the status of the people in the home. As long as visa holders pay their rent on time and their children attend school, we can be sure that no immigration officials will bother them and their families.
My point is this: Work visa holders and their growing families will be here forever. Basically, deportation of these illegals and their families will never happen, if President Obama has his way and goes ahead and signs his executive order soon after the midterm election.
5. You see, you can't very well legalize 8,000,000 illegals by giving them work visas, on the one hand, and then, on the other hand, turn around and deport husbands and wives and children of the work visa holders, persons who may not qualify for work visas for one reason or the other.
6. So I believe that multiplying 8,000,000 illegals by 3 is a good conservative estimate of how many illegals will immediately benefit from President Obama's executive order---an estimate based on a household with two parents, one child.
7.Of course, many households will be single households with no children.
8.But, as we know, many, many households of illegals who will be given work visas will have two or more children, so all those many children will easily make up for those households in my 24,000,000 estimate that have no children.
9. So that is the way I concluded that 24,000,000+ illegals will really get amnesty when traitor President Obama gives away our country with the simple signing of his executive order: 8,000,000 million illegal work visa holders times a conservative estimate of 3 member's in each illegal immigrant household.
10. Again, when President Obama quickly signs his executive order soon after the mid-term elections, he will NOT be giving amnesty to just 8,000,000 illegals as the pro-amnesty people want us to believe.
11. Rather, when the smoke clears, anti-amnesty people will wake up one morning and suddenly realize that the pro-amnesty people and President Obama have pulled off one of the biggest scams in history, because President Obama will really give amnesty to 24,000,000 illegals, not 8,000,000 illegals as President Obama will claim when he signs his executive order soon after the mid-term elections.
NOTE: 'Because it was the right thing to do." This is Obama's favorite phrase when he wants to justify his decision on a controversial subject like illegal immigration.
It is as if Obama wants us to believe that his decision is divinely inspired, that is, God himself told him what to do. What a bunch of crap.
So be prepared to hear Obama's phrase---"Because it was the right thing to do"---over and over after Obama signs the worst executive order ever.
It is the worst ever because President Obama will lie to us and give amnesty to not 8,000,000 illegals as Obama will lead us to believe when he signs the executive order, but to an unbelievable number of 24,000,000 illegals. Sick. Sick. Sick.
NOTE: If the government can't handle those hundreds of illegals who crossed the Mexican border recently, how in the world is the government going to process the 8,000.000 illegals that President Obama will give amnesty to in a few weeks after the mid-term elections? No way. No way.

Obama isn’t doing anything — this is the Democrat Party’s doing.

There is a bias towards these children that goes against everything the equal right folks have said for the last 70 years.
