New York Metropolis is being “destroyed” by the migrant disaster, Mayor Adams says.
Chicago is “tapped out,” says Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
They usually each know whom in charge: Greg Abbott.
It’s the governor of Texas, the one Republican they’ll discover, for placing a number of the illegal immigrants on buses heading north.
How completely bonkers is that this argument? Allow us to rely the methods:
- Abbott has despatched 1,500 border crossers to Chicago and 5,200 to New York. That may be a tiny fraction of the general quantity. How did the remaining get right here? The Democratic mayor of El Paso despatched some. And lots of the others bought a trip from nonprofits, together with Catholic Charities, paid for by the federal authorities!
- “Abbott is utilizing this disaster to harm black-run cities,” Adams says in a little bit of race-baiting jujitsu. That might be 5 of the largest cities in America: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver and Washington, DC — the place many of the migrants need to go. In any case, they had been informed their shelter and meals can be paid for, and since they’re “sanctuaries,” you’ll by no means be deported. Who wouldn’t need to come?
- Are you aware, as Lightfoot says, that lots of the unlawful immigrants who arrive in Chicago are in “dire want” of meals, water and clothes? What does she suppose is going on in Texas? “You don’t remedy that drawback by merely sticking individuals on buses,” she claims. Oh, then how do you remedy it? Biden isn’t feeding or sheltering them. Why does Texas should pay for his coverage failures?
To his credit score, Adams has been calling out Biden by title for refusing to reimburse New York taxpayers for the huge value. However neither he, Lightfoot or every other high Democrat is properly blaming the president for what’s happening in the first place.
These should not authorized immigrants. Stepping throughout the border and claiming “asylum” isn’t a free ticket into the USA, and the seek for financial alternative doesn’t qualify you for such.
However Biden gained’t implement the legislation.
Greg Abbott is to not blame, and pointing the finger at him in nakedly partisan statements doesn’t remedy the issue.
You need to repair it, Lightfoot and Adams? Why don’t you constitution just a few buses filled with migrants to Wilmington, Del. Let’s see how lengthy earlier than Biden wakes up.
