Reporters need to ask refugee resettlement agencies how this is affecting their operations. How many will resettle these "refugees" because they need federal money to stay afloat? The Episcopal Church in the U.S. is not resettling white South Africans.

Beautiful! I love seeing them at Presque Isle State Park in Erie.

Here's an idea: PIlot that program with members of Congress. Eliminate their health insurance (including Medicare) and give them the cash to "negotiate" coverage for themselves and their kin. Also, find out how much the bills were for all the times Mitch McConnell fell. Ditto for Fetterman's fall.

Shortly before the city of Erie's municipal election in 2017, Zito wrote a story for the New York Post claiming Erie would turn red in the mayor's race. Erie's last Republican mayor was elected in 1962; served one term. I criticized Zito's shoddy reporting and she blocked me on Twitter. The Dem won.

Charlotte, N.C., has an amazing children's library. I hope those opposing these violent thugs use the real "Charlotte's Web" to publicize the cruel nature of these invasions of our cities, which harm children and break up families.

When the Catholic Church scandal raged, was this kind of ridiculous defense of abusive priests offered? Disgusting.

Thank you for finding this. Just read it aloud to my husband, whose grandfather was an Irish sports writer in NY. Then shared it with my sibs (we are half Irish) and my baseball-loving j-school roommate.

I have learned more about ICE activities in Erie from prayer vigils organized by Catholic women religious than from the Gannett-run local paper.
