I’m laughing so hard.
You reap what you sow. You wanted to be a sanctuary city, so here you go!
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey promised to send illegal immigrants to D.C. after the people overwhelmed the small border towns. Places like D.C. pushed to treat the rush of illegal immigrants as a human rights issue.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has sent almost $1 million to open borders groups to help illegal immigrants. Plus, she made it loud, and clear D.C. is a sanctuary city!
Ten days ago, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser complained about Texas and Arizona sending illegal immigrants to her city because the homeless shelters are filling up and, well, there are too many of them.
Today Bowser revealed she asked Biden and Defense Secretary Austin to activate the National Guard “to help prevent a prolonged humanitarian crisis in the nation’s capital.” She wants them to use the D.C. Armory as a processing center.
Neither Biden nor Austin has given Bowser an answer.
The letter also cracks me up because Bowser continues with her “it’s them, not me” attitude even though she has said over and over that D.C. is a sanctuary city.
Some great lines in the two letters:
“With pledges from Texas and Arizona to continue these abhorrent operations indefinitely…”
“But the Governors or Texas and Arizona are making a political statement to the federal government, and instead, their actions are having direct impacts on city and regional resources in ways that are unsustainable.”
“The migrant crisis facing our city and our country through cruel political gamesmanship from the Governors of Texas and Arizona must be dealt with at a federal level.”
“Instead of rolling up their sleeves and working with the Biden/Harris administration on a real solution, Governors Abbott and Ducey have decided to use desperate people to score political points.”
You literally asked for this. You LITRALLY asked for this.
You know what is cruel, lady? Making these people think that everything will be easy for them once they cross the border. Giving these people hope that everything will be handed to them on a silver platter. I cannot imagine their lives in their home countries, and they want jobs immediately to send back the money.
That is cruel.
It is also cruel to tell the illegal immigrants your city is a sanctuary city, and all are welcome and now turning their back on them. Locals are still complaining that Bowser’s administration has not done anything to help the illegal immigrants (emphasis mine):
But neither the local nor the federal government are willing to step up, volunteers say, and migrants are having to go to area homeless shelters or are even being deserted at Union Station, as donations dwindle and fatigue sets in. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has cast this as a federal problem with a federal solution — a characterization that angers volunteers because they say that means Bowser, who’s called D.C. a sanctuary city, proves to be no different than Texas Gov. Greg Abbott or Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey who are trying to offload migrants on the Biden administration.“Washingtonians, as people, are here, present, but their government is not here,” says Isaias Guerrero, a volunteer with the Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network, a grassroots network led by Black and brown femmes and immigrants that represents over 20 local social justice groups.“We don’t see anybody from Mayor Bowser’s office here. We don’t see anybody from the Office of Latino Affairs here to say ‘Welcome, how can we support you’ even if it’s with like waters,” he continues. “People just want to wash their hands because this is seen as a hot potato. But what it should be seen as is an opportunity for us to actually create a model of being welcoming.”
How many times have Ducey and Abbott asked for help at the federal level? Isn’t Harris the border czar? Oh, wait.
