#1 How does a Mayor have that power on his own?

#2 So, workers who are able are leaving your little patch 'o sunshine, and your solution is to import as much slave labor as you can make other people pay for?

#4 "We need people"

Except you're not getting people. You're getting masters. You just don't know it yet.

If five of those 100 are 'working', I'd be shocked.

#8 Other. Peoples. Money.

Or, more likely, the lack thereof.

#9 1980 Refugee Act gives the Feds the right to resettle refugees.

Govs and Mayors and NGOs may make this go smoothly or not and Govs and Mayors may ask the Feds for more refugees but the 'decision' is not theirs. It is the Feds.

#10 Time to repeal the 1980 Refugee act, then. Replace it with the 2017 Stay In Your Own Cesspool Act.

#11 Yes. Shut it down. I like RC's working title, but would add some "save the children" wording to the name of the actual act.

#12 How fraught are the ethical quandaries
Of melting pots, ~~liberty's~~ bigotry's foundries!
Let's act for the migrants,
Protecting their vibrance,
And call it "Respecting Their Boundaries."

#13 Empirical souls put in peril
By facts -- fertile, footloose, and feral --
Are tempted to query,
But critical theory
Stays crystalline, pristine, and sterile.

#14 And speaking of souls, and going all racist...

So sad that most coloreds play roles
(thick Coates, or the dullardly Knowles),
Convinced by brown wrappers
And cynical yappers
To doubt their avuncular Sowells.

"Some" might be truer than "most" (maybe... I hope... for a while yet), but dammit, I need that long O.
