LOL: Democrat Strongholds Begging White House For Help With “Migrants”

It continues to be funny that sanctuary cities are losing their minds over receiving a fraction of the number of illegals/migrants that the border state cities are getting. What about all the small towns who received a bunch via Biden’s dead of night flights?

Dem strongholds beg the White House for help with migrants

Blue cities for months have pleaded for help from the White House as they struggle with the massive influx of migrants. They claim they’re still waiting.

Since the summer, mayors in Chicago, New York City and Washington, D.C., have faced massive strains on their shelters and health services after Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott bused thousands of migrants to their cities from the southern border.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, this week said the situation is so dire that he suggested housing migrants on cruise ships to help alleviate the crisis.

“We do need help. We need the federal government, the state government, to play a role,” Adams told reporters on Tuesday. “This is a humanitarian crisis created by human hands.”

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, also a Democrat, last week said that she met with officials at the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies and “made it very clear” that they need a plan to help.

“We need federal support, resources, communication and collaboration,” she said. “And that has to come in short order.” But that can’t happen, however, until the city first applies for funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Cue the tiny violins. They got what they wanted. They said all illegals are welcome. Abbott and DeSantis sent them a bunch. Now they don’t want them?

Abbott’s move has burdened resources and drawn outrage from city leaders, who say the Texas GOP governor and DeSantis are using migrants as pawns in their political stunts. The Republican governors, who are both running for reelection this year, have said they’re trying to draw attention to the Biden administration’s border policies — but the Democratic city leaders say the transports are creating a humanitarian crisis.

See, it’s a political stunt. It is. And it’s worked. It’s shown the hypocrisy of Democrats who support open borders and unfettered immigration. They’re getting a small taste of what those border cities are dealing with. Will it change minds among Independents and some Democrats?

“What our country needs is for Congress to fix the immigration system,” Bowser said in a statement after the vote. “We also encourage the Administration to fulfill the requests of cities and states that are receiving buses and planes with no coordination or notification from those sending them.”

Correct. We need to fix it so that people cannot simply show up and demand asylum, which most won’t qualify for, and be let into the country, after which most will simply disappear and blow off their hearings. Then demand legal status years down the line, demand citizenship for their children. Let them apply for asylum outside of the U.S. If you’re caught crossing the border, you’re immediately put back across the border.
