Mayor of Springfield, MA Demands an End to Feds Shipping Illegal Aliens to His City

[From article]
Mayor Domenic Sarno is the latest mayor to decry refugee resettlement, joining counterparts in New Hampshire and Maine in largely rare tensions with the State Department, which helps resettle refugees in communities across America.

Sarno, leader of the state's third-largest city, first demanded last summer that the U.S. government stop sending refugees. But after recent inspections found Somali families living in overcrowded, pest-infested apartments without electricity and sometimes heat, he stepped up complaints, saying resettlement agencies are bringing in 'warm-weather' refugees and dumping them into cold climates only to leave them dependent on the city.
'I have enough urban issues to deal with. Enough is enough,' Sarno said in an interview. 'You can't keep concentrating poverty on top of poverty.'

Robert Marmor, president of Jewish Family Services, a resettlement agency in Springfield, said that aid for additional services is available from other sources and that his door is always open.
Funny, the JFS refused to help me get free of relentless harassment from local police and criminals but they open their doors to immigrants from Somalia.
