Now is a great time for the governors of Democratic states to show leadership and take in refugees

[hill2016]

How better to combat the hate and ignorance than with love and support?

It's not like the refugees would have been welcome in racist places anyway.

Diverse states like California and New York are more than big enough to absorb everyone.

Let's focus on having a positive rather than hate-stirring message.

Small and much poorer countries in Europe are having to shoulder a very heavy burden. The US has a moral imperative to take in as many refugees as possible. For historical precedent, look at the Vietnam war.

4. Hick is single; I guess he could put a family in the mansion.

People are paying $1200 a month in Denver for a studio apartment.

Or the refugees could be located in a camp in Meeker, I suppose.

But I guess the Federal government will be paying the rent.
