I was only a matter of time. Here’s what Mayor Durkan said yesterday, on Facebook, about President Trump’s threat to send asylum seekers to sanctuary cities like Seattle.

If this president wants to send immigrants and refugees to Seattle, we will do what we have always done to welcome individuals.

Mayor Durkan is taunting President Trump, daring him to send more people to Seattle when the city can’t even house people who are already here. I call this out at Forbes.

What scares Seattle residents of all persuasions, those that think that Seattle is dying and those that think more money from the rich will solve the problem, is wondering where exactly will all these “individuals” live? The Mayor presides over an organization that has systematically made it hard for everyone else to live here. Maybe people in Seattle struggling with paying rent, wondering where they’ll sleep tonight, or living with an abusive partner should apply for asylum. Apparently that’s the only way this City will welcome them with open arms.
