Not In My Again Yard

The open border insurance policies of the Biden administration have had border states like Texas strained to the restrict of their sources with the sheer variety of migrants crossing the border day by day.

In an try and get the eye of the federal authorities as to how critical the issue has change into, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott started earlier this yr to bus unlawful immigrants to Washington, D.C. 

Abbott was not alone in his frustration. In November of 2021, the Biden administration was placing migrants on flights to Florida. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said, “In the event that they’re going to come back right here, we’ll present buses. I will send them to Delaware and do this.”

Final week, Bowser sent two letters to Secretary of Protection Lloyd Austin. In one in all them, she even blamed Texas and Arizona: “The migrant disaster going through our metropolis and our nation by means of merciless political gamesmanship from the Governors of Texas and Arizona have to be handled on the federal degree.”

That is fairly a distinct tone than the one the Mayor took in November 2016, curiously proper after the presidential election, the place she “reaffirmed” D.C.’s status as a sanctuary city:

“The values, legal guidelines, and insurance policies of Washington, DC didn’t change on Election Day. We have a good time our range and respect all DC residents irrespective of their immigration standing. We’re a sanctuary metropolis as a result of we all know that our neighborhoods are safer and stronger when nobody is afraid to name on our authorities for assist, and when our police can give attention to defending and serving.”

so if 4K immigrants is a disaster in DC what’s 200K crossing the border each month??? 🤔

Migrants Being ‘Tricked’

Mayor Bowser lately made an look on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” She commented that migrants are somehow being “tricked” into getting on buses headed for Washington, D.C.

“We expect they’re largely asylum seekers who’re going to closing locations that aren’t Washington, D.C. I labored with the White Home to make it possible for FEMA supplied a grant to an area group that’s offering companies to people. I worry that they’re being tricked into nationwide bus journeys when their closing locations are locations all around the United States of America.”

She additionally doesn’t imagine that D.C. taxpayers ought to should foot the invoice for processing migrants. She said,

“Native taxpayers aren’t choosing up the tab. They need to not decide up the tab. We actually want a coordinated federal response. We all know that it’s performed for refugees who come to the states from all factors of the world and the identical must be performed within the scenario.”

Humorous, little question what Texas border residents have been saying for many years.

Border Disaster Not Getting Any Higher

The circulate of unlawful immigrants on the southern border reveals no indicators of a let up. The number of crossings for June alone totaled 207,416. Seizures of drug shipments have been blended, with cocaine and methamphetamine up 62% and 14% respectively. Heroin and Fentanyl seizures decreased by 49% and 41% respectively, in accordance with the Border Patrol.

Fellow sanctuary metropolis Mayor Eric Adams in New York Metropolis can be calling on Joe Biden to ship assist on the federal degree. In an announcement full of an equal quantity of irony and self-unawareness, Adams said, “We’d like a few of these states which were giving folks one-way tickets — we want them to know that this have to be a partnership on this nation to take care of those that are coming right here searching for refuge, asylum.”

Backside line, 4,000 in Washington D.C. is a disaster. 207,000 in Texas, not a disaster. Seems being a sanctuary metropolis is nice…till you really should be one.
