The Open Borders Agitators love this sort of action. They put together a list (in this case of hundreds of signatures) to pressure the President as he gets near the decision point on determining how many third world refugees will be admitted to live in your towns and cities.
The media laps it up!
It is a win-win for groups like HIAS who live off of your tax dollars. Either they do get Trump to move in their direction (earlier the White House signaled that the number could be zero) and split the difference when they ask for an outrageously large number, or they get to bash him further in advance of the 2020 presidential race for anything short of their 95,000!
Last year they asked for 75,000 and got 30,000. See last year’s publicity stunt here. (See if any of your elected officials signed it, here.)
Now here is the Amnesty International press statement put out yesterday (on 9/11) about this year’s demands.
361 BIPARTISAN ELECTED OFFICIALS FROM 46 STATES URGE PRESIDENT TRUMP TO WELCOME REFUGEES
You can read that yourself.
Below is the opening paragraph of this year’s letter followed by those who signed it.
See if an elected official in your town or city is asking the President to admit 95,000 refugees beginning in less than three weeks.
President Donald J. Trump
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, D.C. 20500Dear Mr. President:
As leaders in our community elected at all levels of state and local government, we write today to express our strong support for resettling refugees in our states and communities and to urge your Administration to resettle at least 95,000 refugees in Fiscal Year 2020.We hope that you consider the voices of communities across the country as we join together in support of this life-saving program that brings so much to our collective communities and express our desire to help protect refugees in need.
Read the remainder of the letter, here.
Now see the list! (I think it is a very useful thing to know who is working to change America by changing the people!):
