NBC4- The Los Angeles City Council adopted a resolution Friday that declares the city a welcome place for refugees.
Councilmen Bob Blumenfield and Mitch O’Farrell led a presentation before the council voted at the Van Nuys City Hall.
“Today is a historic day for the city, for people who have made this their new home,” Blumenfield said. “They seek admittance to a safer city where they can rebuild their lives.”
Blumenfield said his grandparents fled to America from persecution of Cossack soldiers.
The city’s action comes amid an executive order by President Donald Trump that directed the government to develop a policy to allow cities and states to refuse to take in refugees. The policy was ordered to be developed by Dec. 25.
The administration has lowered the number of refugees the nation takes in from about 100,000 two years ago to 18,000 this fiscal year.
“The current burdens on the U.S. immigration system must be alleviated before it is again possible to resettle the large number of refugees,” the State Department said in a news release in September. “Prioritizing the humanitarian protection cases of those already in our country is simply a matter of fairness and common sense.” read more
Los Angeles? A safer city? The city that has a $154 million dollar budget shortfall? The city where people are getting typhus? That Los Angeles?
In other words the dirt bags have just declared themselves to be one huge insane asylum and every crazy nut on the planet is welcome!
I guess that $154 million budget shortfall wasn’t enough. 🧐
RadioMattM- Yes yes! The very same.
Now all the other states have a place to dump unwanted refugees. Thanks L.A.!
I guess NY isn’t shipping their homeless to LA fast enough.
Step it up, ladies!
I’d be all for it if they could keep them there. Unfortunately, the refugees won’t want to stay there anymore than anyone else with any sense.
Edit: They will be heading to Vegas next, MJA.
By USA law they have no right to do that.
That is NOT their prerogative.
That violation of USA law is
actionable.
And the pigs who violate law
must be imprisoned .
The home of freaks, dweebs and whatever jumped
over the fence is officializing its long existing
reality. I suppose they have to pass shit like this
to make the other whacko’s think they are worth
the big boodle they rack in.
Tony R The clowns are already here. And they brought their politics, too. Have you checked Nevada’s legislature lately? lol.
Only 12 out of 41 are Republicans. Sorta.
2 dem women senators (one of them, Jackie Rosen, threatened Kirsten Synema (D-AZ) remember that? )
And of the 3 state Reps, 2 are Dems.
The Governor? Dem. Oh! He’s an alleged wife beater and everything.
Just rename LAX-ative. Things will be shooting out faster the more infested it becomes.
Also, refusal to enforce
USA law should be a
disqualification for any
USA grant money.
They want to go it alone
altho still illegal
LET THEM GO IT ALONEE
AND PAY FOR IT
W/O FEDERAL HELP
They want to be arrogant ?
Let them PAY for their arrogance !
LA is the most corrupt city government in the US. If Hollywood wasn’t there, it’d be Baltimore.
Turn OFF the big Federal Spigot please!!
My federal tax dollars should not have to be spent on funding this kind of shit!!
Fine. Just stay there.
Be whatever you want; but don’t come to the rest of us to finance your insanity.
Remember when Trump threatened to dump refugees in California, and Cher went on Twitter to complain about it?
Well, there’s still a place Trump can dump them, and I will help drive the bus.
ALLAHU AKBAR! AY YI YI YI YI!!!!!!!!!
