Nancy Pelosi's District Has Taken In Zero Syrian Refugees

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has been a vocal backer of President Obama’s (ultimately successful) plan to import a minimum of 10,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the fiscal year, at one point accusing Republicans of “slamming the door on mothers and children.” But with just days remaining in the 2016 Fiscal Year, Pelosi’s own district has yet to resettle a single Syrian refugee.

Since Oct. 1, 2015, more than 12,000 Syrian refugees have been placed in the U.S., according to data from the State Department’s Refugee Processing Center.

San Francisco, California, which includes Pelosi’s district (CA-12), has taken in zero refugees since the fiscal year began. San Francisco also didn’t take in any Syrian Refugees in either 2014 or 2013.

While Pelosi’s district hasn’t actually taken in any Syrian refugees, Pelosi herself has been a vocal proponent of bringing Syrian refugees into the U.S.

Why would a city with a large and politically powerful gay population want to have anti-gays in the tens of thousands? Gays vote and Nancy listens.

How could a refugee afford to live in San Francisco?

Just like there are no abortion clinics promoting "women's rights" in Hillary's home town.

These people are smarter than you think. I wouldn't want to be there in her hood either, would you?

We should be camping in tents around her house.

I think she probably has 40 cats in her house. Maybe a few cat sweaters, cat blanket and several full litter boxes.

In the 60's, Nancy Pelosi ("D'Alesandro") grew up in THE most exclusive enclave in Baltimore City. It was called Guilford, and had more police protection than even the worst neighborhoods in Baltimore had.
A Black man couldn't walk a half-a-block in Guilford without being stopped and questioned, just the same as a White guy couldn't walk in West Baltimore in those days (even today) without being mugged.
She's a Limousine Liberal of the top degree.
Nancy talks the talk - but she sure doesn't walk the walk.
