Nearly 100 mayors across the United States are begging President Trump to import as many refugees to the country as possible in order to “bring cultural vibrancy and diversity” to American communities.
In a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo last month, about 88 mayors — from Denver, Colorado to Columbia, South Carolina — urged Trump to end his latest executive order that gives American communities more veto power over whether they want refugees resettled in their communities.
The mayors said that more refugees are needed to bring about “cultural vibrancy and diversity” to their often small towns, though they admit refugees are an initial tax burden on their taxpayers. According to the letter:
We write to urge the Administration to rescind the September 26 executive order and return this year’s refugee admissions to previous annual levels. [Emphasis added]
…
U.S. cities have long benefited from the annual arrival of refugees. Once they are resettled, refugees learn the new language, adjust to the different culture, and strive to establish a new life. In the process, they also enrich and bring cultural vibrancy and diversity to their local communities. [Emphasis added]
Refugees contribute meaningfully to our economy as earners and taxpayers. While they receive initial assistance upon arriving in the United States, they see significant income increases in subsequent years. [Emphasis added]
As Breitbart News reported, Trump is set to continue cutting refugee admissions next year by reducing former President Obama’s refugee inflow by at least 80 percent. This reduction would mean a maximum of 18,000 refugees can be resettled in the U.S. between October 1, 2019, to September 30, 2020. This is merely a numerical limit and not a goal federal officials are supposed to reach.
The mayors join the national security establishment, Republican and Democrat lawmakers, as well as the

Mayors Ask Trump to Import More Refugees to U.S. for ‘Cultural Diversity’
We don’t need that. I got it covered.
I’ll play the Tarantella on an accordion, then I’ll sing “Speak Softly” in Sicilian and I’ll juggle 3 cannoli afterwards.
You Irish and German guys can donate some diversity too.
Maybe even the Polish
“In a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo last month, about 88 mayors — from Denver, Colorado to Columbia, South Carolina — urged Trump to end his latest executive order that gives American communities more veto power over whether they want refugees resettled in their communities.”
so basically these mayors want to dictate to cities other than their own who they must let in, versus letting each town/city to decide for themselves...
Globalists hell bent on the destruction of the Republic.
It’s about the resettlement dollars. They don’t give a shit about anything else.
“refugees” usta come wrapped in an Obama check to the city....
Where is the ‘Cultural Diversity’ among the Mayors in our country?
Just ship them a few homeless for the diversity thing.
I wonder... are these easier to skim than the usual tax revenues that flow into the city?
Yep they want us to be more like Paris or London.
The benevolent non profits are so eager to help. Uh huh. What an absolute load of drivel. Follow the fed gravy train to their grubby crooked backsides.
Pure bravo Sierra of the most putrid part.
Just ship them a few homeless for the diversity thing.
New York City ships them for free....:)
Pound sand, traitor Mayors!!!
FWIW: I took random samples of names of these mayors, and ran them all through Google, and found all I sampled (10) were Democrats other than one that is an Independent after having been previously a Republican.
Transport armed MS13 members to their communities.
Just say no Mr. President.
Check out the list of mayors. Bipartisan, my derriere. Uniparty every single, sodding one.
And my bet is every one of those cities is losing population. This is about warm bodies, not humanitarianism.
