I just sent this email to Senator Jeff Merkley, D. Oregon, one of the good guys:
Jeff, wait a minute. I JUST WATCHED PDX Channel 8 talk about Tяump's threat to send asylum seekers to asylum cities, and your response, literally one commercial break ago. WHY THE HELL NOT? Portland IS an asylum city; so is Eugene; we have religious and other organizations ready to house immigrants and help them begin integrating into American society. [We know that 99.6 % of them show up for their immigration hearings.] We have jobs going begging (though I would like to see us try to get our homeless into those--Portland's homeless crisis is becoming intolerable)--we could take in a few immigrants, couldn't we?
And can you think of a better way to stick thumbs in both of Donald Fracking Tяump's eyes than to turn this threat back on him? Think about it!
