The vote was unanimous, seven to zero.

The resolution stated: “[T]he Charter Township of Waterford will not actively participate in the Refugee Resettlement Program until the Program has been significantly reformed, and until it has been demonstrated that the Townships of Oakland County have the capacity to absorb refugees without diverting funds from needy residents or exposing their residents to unwarranted security risks.”

Waterford Township has a population of 72,000 and is located in the geographic center of Oakland County, population 1.2 million, a suburban Detroit county.

  1. There used to be all sorts of pols, that wrote all sorts of “no abortion, no way, no hows,” back when SCOTUS would strike down every “restriction.” Everybody’s lawyer cousin got paid to join the parade. Everybody’s “campaign contributions” swelled. Nothing changed. “No harm, no foul.”

    Then “reasonable” restrictions became legal, and all sorts of “pro-life” pols “saw the light.” No more “no way, no hows,” when some “ways” and “hows” might actually stand, and get blamed on you.

    Now it’s “no invaders.” Let’s see how long that lasts, when it means no “surplus” tanks for the local pols (to keep the other locals in line).
