Homeless Problem Plagues Cities Asking Obama For More Refugees

Daily Caller:

Many of the 18 Democratic mayors asking President Barack Obama to send more Syrian refugees to their cities are facing homeless crises.

 

New federal data, The Washington Post reports, reveals that the number of homeless children in the U.S. has doubled since the recession.

 

According to the Post, this is an 8 percent increase in the homeless count over the 2012-2013 school year. But that increase is not stopping some mayors from asking the president to send refugees to their cities.

 

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio called for more Syrian refugees after initially saying the refugee issue was a “European problem.”
