Mayor Domenic Sarno and Mohammed Abdi

Mohammed Abdi: Mayor Domenic Sarno is the latest mayor to decry refugee resettlement, joining counterparts in New Hampshire in Maine in largely rare tensions with the State Department, which helps resettle refugees in communities across America, according to 660 News. Why not talk about the problems in the city, why not talk about the houses that are unstable and in bad conditions, why only talk about the Somalis and Somali Bantus? Mohammed Abdi, 72, said through an interpreter and Mass. A Massachusetts mayor is calling for an end to refugee resettlement in his city, saying Somali families are putting pressure on already strained services in Springfield, a onetime industrial centre where nearly a third of the population lives below the poverty line. 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.
