Joe Biden won’t help with NYC’s migrant crisis
Add a humiliating diss of Gov. Kathy Hochul to Crew Biden’s infinite center fingers to New York because the migrant disaster metastacizes onward.
Plainly, Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams have to discover a political two-by-four to slam at their fellow Democrats in DC or the White Home will maintain treating the Empire State like an enormous mushroom — saved in the dead of night and fed nothing however manure.
The newest was Sunday’s slapdown of Hochul’s request to make use of Brooklyn’s Floyd Bennett Subject to accommodate unlawful newcomers.
As The Put up reported, she was left totally humiliated, having already prepped an announcement that she’d gotten a inexperienced mild on the 1,000-acre former army airfield.
Her of us did their finest to cowl by pretending it’s simply particulars that want figuring out.
Get up, Albany: Adams has begged the prez for monetary assist 36 occasions now — and gotten blown off every and each time.
Washington has forked over nothing however couch change ($142 million) towards what Adams says can be a $12 billion migrant invoice simply by means of mid-2025.
Oh: The Bidenites did promise a liaison to commiserate with Metropolis Corridor. Whoop-dee-do.
They see no purpose to raise a finger to assist New York — and each purpose to not.
“At finest, federal assist could be pointless,” notes Nicole Gelinas in Monday’s Put up: “What are New Yorkers going to do in the event that they don’t just like the chilly shoulder” from Biden — “vote for Donald Trump?”
And delivering assist might make the mess “extra seen to nationwide swing voters,” sending the message that the White Home is now for accommodating limitless migrants, triggering extra border surges.
Even ex-Gov. David Paterson, a Democrat whose departure from politics has left him free to talk actually, blasted Crew Biden on Sunday for “doing nothing” to regulate the border catastrophe.
New York already has issues caring for native-born homeless, he notes, and “now we’re simply piling [migrants] on prime of them.”
It’s gone time to get two key New Yorkers, Senate Majority Chuck Schumer and Home Minority Chief Hakeem Jeffries, to warn the White Home in the one language it understands.
Biden might rightly see no manner he loses New York’s electoral votes on Election Day 2024, however what about Congress?
Given Hochul’s skinny margin of victory final 12 months, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is not any certain guess to win re-election, whereas Jeffries is determined to choose up Home seats right here so he can change into speaker.
Each shovelful of s . . . manure that Biden dumps on New York makes it that rather more seemingly that, even when Biden wins re-election, ticket-splitters throughout the state will ship a message and depart him dealing with a totally Republican Congress.
If that menace doesn’t get the White Home’s consideration, the Biden crew deserves each investigation (and impeachment) it suffers.
