PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto said he would welcome any detained migrants sent to the city by the Trump administration.

His comments came days after the president said he wants to bus undocumented immigrants to so-called sanctuary cities.

While Pittsburgh is not a sanctuary city, the mayor said all are welcome here.

"It's sort of forgotten, that idea of America was a country that would welcome all, especially those that are facing persecution or whose countries are facing poverty," he said.

I don't live in the City of Pittsburgh, but close enough to be thoroughly annoyed by this ultra-liberal SJW clown.

Folk that came here from those locations were EXPECTED to assimilate add to society, not suck the life from it.

Kudos to him for being consistent. Now let us show him the consequences of his policies and beliefs.

He doesn’t care about the consequences. They like an underclass and remember the glass of water Pelosi said could be elected in these cities?

How many? Can he handle 10,000 arriving in June? Are they ready to house and quarter the group? I would suggest....send them on.

...that idea of America was a country that would welcome all...

That was NEVER the idea (all would be welcome).

Could this be a sign of cracks in the liberal armor? That some lib mayors are willing to go down the rabbit hole?

“He may get the chance to put his money where his mouth is.”

I wouldn’t put anyone in Pennsy. Send them all to California, New York, Mass and Washington.

Load them up on a C5 and get them there way quicker than a bus!

This deblasio minimi needs to shut his pie hole.

Pittsburgh is already overrun with "migrants" on welfare.

On another note PDJT needs to get a handle on this illegal mess TODAY.

The soros/soetoro Cloward-Piven strategy for the border is working with projected 2,000,000, that we know of, entering and being released this year.

Do they actually think that these impoverished "campesinos" are making it to our border alone?

They are being funded and organized by enemies within and without.

Next step. All these street crapping addicts and pathologically lazy. Let's start shipping them to these virtue signalling sanctuary cities. Win/win!

Let them demonstrate themselves as really benevolent. Or, is their benevolence limited to criminal invaders?

Hilarious.

Send a million Mexicans to Pittsburgh right away!

If the just recovering middle class of PA thought things were bad before, wait till they have Los Vatos Locos ripping the joint apart.

Beyond funny!!

Just took a quick look at Pittsburgh’s 400+ page budget.

Pittsburgh can’t afford them.
