What if Mayor Miner reached out to President Obama and expressed interest in housing unaccompanied immigrant children awaiting deportation in our city. What do you think people would  say? How would they react?

We anticipate a lively discussion of this issue when George Kilpatrick hosts the drive time slot on 570 WSYR next week.
