'Seriously. In other words, no foreign-born people,' the candidate said. She added that 'in the past, we've experienced it's better to have, simply, American-born — no foreigners, no.'
, a"brief guffaw" fell over the room before other candidates chimed in to answer the question.
Before posing the question, the forum's moderator had cited the population growth across the region from 2000 to 2015, noting that half of the people who moved to the Great Lakes area during that period were foreign-born. Marysville, a small town located 55 miles northeast of Detroit, is more than 90 percent white and less than 1 percent African American.
Incumbent Councilman Paul Wessel, who was the next candidate to provide an answer after Cramer, appeared to be shocked. He started his response with"wow" and proceeded to say that anybody who can afford to live in Marysville should be part of the community.
