Pennsylvania governor tells Trump his state will keep welcoming refugees
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf (D) told President Trump in a recent letter that his state will continue to accept refugees fleeing violence and persecution after the White House proposed “sharply reducing" the cap of refugees that could be admitted to the country last month.
In the letter, which is addressed to Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Wolf said he was writing to “reaffirm Pennsylvania’s founding values and our commitment to be a welcoming state” and confirm that his state will “continue to welcome refugees to live and work in our communities.”
==================================================
William Penn, who founded our state, as a Quaker was the victim of religious persecution in jolly old England. One can consider Pennsylvania to have been founded by immigrants fleeing persecution in their native lands.
The fact is, PA will only be able to welcome refugees that the federal government allows to come into the country.
Republican states should send all their American homeless to Pennsylvania as refugees of Democratic Party policies.

Big government supporter are ya???
I thought state rights supercede federal laws...

Not when it comes to immigration. Read the Constitution.
How about reading the scroll that the Statue of Liberty has been holding in her hand since 1875.
Not when it comes to immigration. Read the Constitution.
As you know, many parts of the Constitution use the term “people” or “person” rather than “citizen.” Those laws apply to everyone physically on U.S. soil, whether or not they are a citizen. As a result of that specific language, many of the basic rights, such as the freedom of religion and speech, the right to due process and equal protection under the law apply to citizens and non-citizens.

That's amazing. Thank God for government stealing from poor Americans.
While refugees are homeless, they are very much unlike homeless people. To focus on the negative aspects of homeless people, most refugees are industrious and do not suffer from mental illness. They are looking for a better way of life. And people looking for a better way of life are already leaving Republican states.
And why not accept them? Industrious states need more workers, and refugees can make pretty good workers.

That's amazing. Thank God this country still has people that have open arms and open hearts for refugees.
So when he next few murders, rapes, or other hard crimes come in that are perpetrated by such individuals.
You can just tell the victims that they didn't have their hearts open enough... give me a break with the faux morality BS.
Republican states should send all their American homeless to Pennsylvania as refugees of Democratic Party policies.
Nope, it's only Trumpers that are rapists and murderers. Kurds -- not so much.
Fiend charged with raping, killing jogger had been deported twice
There you go again Humble, getting caught in another lie. Well, basically one after at this point.. but it's not like you had any actual standards before now is it?
Also, when did I even mention the Kurds?
Murders and rapes happen every day, even perpetrated by people that share your own twisted viewpoint of undocumented immigrants. You have my sympathy.
And you have egg on your face, not to mention a fresh turd in the hand. But at least it's not the other way around.

Don't tell Oborosen but more rapes are committed by Americans than immigrants in America.
That is the biggest lie told by the Democratic Party about immigration. Since there is no count on illegal immigrants there can be no count on their crime rate percentages. The reason the Democratic Party went hysterical over counting immigrants - legal and not - in the census is because they absolutely do NOT want ANY basis to establish crime stats so they can keep telling the same lie.
