Washington Post – by Katie Zezima
More than 20 mayors from around the country have formed a coalition to support and help implement President Obama’s executive action on immigration.
Members of Cities United for Immigration Action said they will work to put the executive action Obama announced last month into effect on the local level, push for congressional action on immigration reform and rally grassroots support.
Twenty-three mayors, including New York’s Bill de Blasio, Los Angeles’s Eric Garcetti, Houston’s Annise Parker and the District’s Vincent C. Gray have joined the group.
“The president’s action on immigration will strengthen our cities. It will keep families together, grow our economies and foster additional community trust in law enforcement,” the mayors said in a statement. “We are ready — and together we’re rolling up our sleeves to turn this policy into a better reality for millions of hardworking people in the communities we serve.”
One of the goals of the group is to send a message that immigrants are welcome in, and a crucial part of, the cities represented and the nation as a whole. They also are trying to delineate between the roles of federal immigration enforcement and local law enforcement.
The mayors will meet in New York on Dec. 8.
“This summit will offer a unique opportunity for mayors of many of our nation’s progressive cities to restate our leadership and responsibility on this decisive issue,” de Blasio said in a statement released after Obama’s announcement. The group will sketch out a plan “that truly prepares our localities for swift implementation of changes and also advocates for further reforms from the municipal level all the way up to Washington.”
“More than 20 Communist mayors from around the country have formed a coalition…”
“Progressive cities..” in other words those socialist, neo-communist hellholes where the Democratic mayors are salivating over all those new Democratic voters.
Lying Communist traitors, to say nothing of their despicable insults to human freedom by adding to the already overloaded freeloader rolls, abortion rolls, fatherless children rolls… while telling the useful idiots the opposite.
Sheriffs, arrest these criminals.
