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?
Here is a visual interpretation of the debate that occurred on the corner of Court Street and Grant Avenue on Friday afternoon.
We anticipate a lively discussion of this issue when George Kilpatrick hosts the drive time slot on 570 WSYR next week.

Downtown Syracuse
A diverse group of activists and citizens held a rally at the James Hanley Federal Building today to protest the recent verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman in Florida.
The event was organized by the National Action Network, which pledged to hold vigils in 100 cities today.
The rally was held one week following the trial verdict in Sanford, FL and almost four months to the day after the 1,000,000 Hoodie march in Syracuse.

Ground Zero for Occupy Syracuse
For nearly a week 50-100 people occupy and some spend the night at Perseverance Park on South Salina Street to protest corporate greed and income inequality.
The Syracuse movement began Saturday as a show of solidarity to the Occupy Wall Street Movement in NYC, which began last month.
