A Massachusetts mayor is calling for an end to refugee resettlement in his city, saying illiterate, uncivilized, unskilled Somali MUSLIM families are putting pressure on already strained services in Springfield, a onetime industrial center where nearly a third of the population lives below the poverty line. 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. The mayor is drawing criticism from those who say this country has a moral obligation to help the outcast and refugees who say they’re being scapegoated for problems the city faced long before their arrival. barenakedislam/2014/06/25/massachusetts-furious-mayor-demands-state-department-stop-flooding-his-city-with-indigent-somali-muslim-refugees/
