I recently sent a letter to Dayton Ohio Mayor, Nan Whaley, questioning her openness to accepting "resettlement" of "migrants." My questions to the Mayor went as follows:
October 13, 2015
Dear Mayor Whaley,
I recently discovered that you signed an open letter to President Obama, asking to increase the number of refugees for "resettlement." Have you considered what the effects of this will be on the community?
In your letter, you claim "the U.S. has developed a robust screening and background check." Is ISIS now helping with background checks of people fleeing its territory? Is the U.S. government able to screen individuals fleeing a war zone?
This is not some inconsequential game. Allowing a mass influx of unvetted refugees brings as consequence more issues than national security ...
Americans are suffering widespread unemployment or underemployment - and yet you introduce additional competition for the few jobs created?
What will be the impact on education? Budget cuts and teacher shortages are hurting American schools. Without additional funding, how will these schools be able to accept thousands of additional students? Most of these "refugees" do not speak English; so how will our schools address this problem? Your plan will require massive educational budget increases. The only way to obtain the required funds is to siphon resources from American students - and thus lower the quality of THEIR education.
What of housing for these "refugees"? There is a shortage of affordable housing, and a waiting list for Section 8 housing. Where will these refugees live? Will they be placed ahead of Americans who are now struggling to find affordable housing? Will you evict people in government housing, so to make room for these refugees?
Other infrastructure problems this scheme will bring include: traffic, electrical power, sanitation, crime, and healthcare. Did you give any thought to these issues?
Have you considered the people in your community who are now struggling to find work and affordable housing? Did you consider the homeless? If you have so much extra time and resources, then why are you not helping THOSE individuals - for whom you are already responsible?
Mayor Whaley, you have not well thought through this plan! You were elected to do what is best for the city of Dayton; yet you are willing to sacrifice your community's schools, safety, jobs, and infrastructure for what appears purely political reasons. Please reconsider your support of this disastrous policy.
*** End of Letter***
On November 18, 2015, I received the following response from Mayor Whaley:
Thank you for your e-mail regarding the crisis in Syria.
The tragic events in France are heartbreaking and I stand with those affected by acts of terrorism.
As Mayor, I am foremost committed to the safety of the citizens of Dayton. In light of the Paris attacks, it is imperative that the Department of Homeland Security provide security guarantees to hosting communities, such as Dayton, regarding each individual seeking protection regardless of their home country.
Refugee resettlement is managed through our local resettlement agency, Catholic Social Services, and the City of Dayton has no role in this process. Should the Department of Homeland Security decide to place refugees from any country in the City of Dayton, we will continue to be a leader in the welcoming movement and will champion inclusive communities that enable all residents to thrive.
If you would like additional information regarding the resettlement process for refugees, The Migration Policy Institute, an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, has additional information.
Sincerely,
Nan
Has anyone seen a copy of these touted “VETTING” procedures
that are supposed to screen out the scum?

Independent, nonpartisan? Yeah, sure...
What I find revealing is her closing salutation is “Nan” - not Mayor so and so ... I find that very odd, and it tells me she does not respect the office.
Catholic Social Services is “catholic” in name only, just as are most of the so-called “catholic” universities, colleges and high schools. They have all been infiltrated and taken over by modernist heretics. agnostics, and sodomites.
The O-buttfkr gave a speech at Georgetown - a Catholic university, and the pagan Dean allowed his covering up of the monogram for Jesus Christ (the Latin inscription, IHS) that hung above the podium. Obuttfkr should have been told to go somewhere else. But the faggots at Georgetown allowed their fellow sodomite to publicly despise the name of Christ.
There is a name for that kind of behavior - TREASON
I’d prefer they ride a bullet train that launches them straight into San Francisco Bay.
See my tag line! And I’m 55 ... ;)
Since those who shall be doing the “vetting” are all Obama appointees, who serve at the pleasure of the “resident” - I very much doubt there will be any serious investigation of the backgrounds of any “refugee”
And I do believe that a Syrian diplomat remarked “Are you people crazy? The Syrian government is totally corrupt - its agents take bribes from anybody so to create and hand out “official Syrian government documents” IOW - any documentation of Syrian identity, will likely be “official” - but, in reality, not worth the paper it is printed on.
And do not think for a minute that our Congressional fools know not of this game.
It’s PR designed to make you feel like she’s an ordinary person like you. I don’t like it either. Phony.
