I couldn’t agree more with letter-writer Dwayne Buffer (“Pittsburgh’s homeless should come first,”). He says it like it is.
It sounds great for Democrats to spew about inviting with open arms thousands of illegal immigrants. Where are they going to stay, and more importantly, where are they going to work? If work is so plentiful, why not have people on welfare (food stamps) get the first opportunity? Of course, we know some of those people either don’t have the desire to work or think they are owed everything for free.
Bring in thousands of illegal immigrants to Pittsburgh and see what happens. Welfare for most and new housing? Guess who will pay? Another example of one-party domination for many years.
Recent out-of-town guests gently commented that despite the beautiful setting, they were shocked by litter and the unkempt conditions around Pittsburgh. I assured them that meant nothing, as long as you only thought Steelers!
