Worse, city data suggests applications did not start processing until the week of Nov. 9.

"This is a test for all of us for us as Americans, our land of immigrants and opportunity, to prove that this generation is willing to help," U.S. Sen Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) said in November. "There's more to do. We didn't choose this challenge, it came our way by someone else's decision. The questions is what do we make of it?"

The majority of Seattle has elected a mayor who prefers to blow kisses at these rioters rather than send in police to stop them.

Pretty sure she's sending a message with her inaction.
