To all the homeless people in and around the city of Pittsburgh: It seems your mayor has free rooms to house hundreds, if not thousands, of illegal immigrants while you live under a bridge in a cardboard box (“Sending immigrant detainees to Pittsburgh not a punishment”). You should band together and descend on his office to demand that you be the first in line for such housing. And if they’re not going to live there for free, where are the jobs that he’s going to offer them?

I think the mayor and all who agree with him should open the doors to their own houses and keep, feed, pay for and provide health care for every one of the illegal immigrants they want to invite here. Better yet, how about taking care of your own first? Wake up, people.
