The White House released President Obama’s weekly address this morning, and he used Thanksgiving as an opportunity to continue to call for the U.S. to bring in thousands of Syrian refugees:
Obama: Syrian refugees are like pilgrims on the Mayflower https://t.co/wyDiRKPirr pic.twitter.com/szRP84CPLO

Undoubtedly the Democrats will ask their followers to lecture their “unclw” about this at the dinner table:
This Thanksgiving, President Obama is calling for Americans to lend a helping hand to another group of pilgrims fleeing persecution.
“Nearly four centuries after the Mayflower set sail, the world is still full of pilgrims – men and women who want nothing more than the chance for a safer, better future for themselves and their families,” Obama said in his weekly address Thursday. “What makes America America is that we offer that chance.”
Team Obama probably didn’t think that one through, but we’re used to that:
Now the @POTUS is trolling #Thanksgiving. What a sad, pathetic man. #SyrianRefugees https://t.co/TJzuEYWyf6

Gawd, he can't help but be a self-righteous schmuck, even on Thanksgiving. Can't wait for his Christmas message. :/ https://t.co/giTcdXAcIG

Wait. I'm confused. The left always told us the pilgrims were evil invaders who displaced Indians & brought disease. https://t.co/JYJtbQdHN0

Wait, I thought the Pilgrims were religious zealots intent on a genocide. At least that's what @Salon said. https://t.co/cnwbxmpTmA
