From Breitbart: "GOP Mayor in Utah Calls African Refugees the American West’s ‘New Pioneers’." Marsha Judkins is the RINO mayor of Provo, Utah--home to Brigham Young University. Her comments were made in relation to Pioneer Day celebrations:
Pioneer Day was initially founded to celebrate the Mormons who first populated Utah in large numbers, including LDS leader Brigham Young. But Judkins has refashioned Pioneer Day and is insisting that African migrants are Utah’s new pioneers.
In a message to Instagram, Judkins wrote that Utahans celebrate the day to “recognize those who journeyed west in search of religious freedom and the opportunity to build a better future free from persecution.”
But then she added, “We also recognize members of our refugee community who embody that same pioneer spirit, leaving behind familiar homes to begin new lives in a place they had never seen before.”
Mormon pioneers traveled into a wilderness and built farms, towns and cities. Refugees are not pioneers.

Well technically it is unknown to them. Imagine seeing a public restroom at the Atlanta Airport after shitting behind a bush your entire life?
