Miner To Obama: Syracuse Open To Immigrant Children

Nick Reisman

As concerns and tensions grow at the country’s southern border over undocumented immigrant children, Syracuse Stephanie Miner wrote in a letter released Thursday to President Obama opening her city.

“Our nation is rightly proud to point to the famous promise at the entrance to New York Harbor: ‘send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,’” Miner wrote in the letter to Obama. “Here in Syracuse, we stand ready to live up to that promise.”
