New York Metropolis is being “destroyed” by the migrant disaster, Mayor Adams says.
Chicago is “tapped out,” says Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
And so they each know whom guilty: Greg Abbott.
It’s the governor of Texas, the one Republican they will discover, for placing among the unlawful immigrants on buses heading north.
How completely bonkers is that this argument? Allow us to depend 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 remainder get right here? The Democratic mayor of El Paso despatched some. And lots of the others bought a experience 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 will be 5 of the most important cities in America: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver and Washington, DC — the place a lot of the migrants need to go. In any case, they had been instructed 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 clear up that downside by merely sticking individuals on buses,” she claims. Oh, then how do you clear up it? Biden isn’t feeding or sheltering them. Why does Texas need to pay for his coverage failures?
To his credit score, Adams has been calling out Biden by identify for refusing to reimburse New York taxpayers for the large value. However neither he, Lightfoot or some other high Democrat is correctly blaming the president for what’s occurring within the first place.
These are usually not authorized immigrants. Stepping throughout the border and claiming “asylum” shouldn’t be a free ticket into the US, and the seek for financial alternative doesn’t qualify you for such.
However Biden received’t implement the legislation.
Greg Abbott is to not blame, and pointing the finger at him in nakedly partisan statements doesn’t clear up the issue.
You need to repair it, Lightfoot and Adams? Why don’t you constitution just a few buses stuffed with migrants to Wilmington, Del. Let’s see how lengthy earlier than Biden wakes up.
