As Winter Approaches, Democrat Cities Scramble to House and Feed Tiny Portion of Aliens Flooding Across the Border
“Democrat-controlled cities across the U.S. are facing housing shortages and a ‘nightmare winter’ as migrants continue to arrive in major cities”
It’s amazing how much attention the hactivist media is paying to the border crisis now that it’s actually affecting their puppet masters’ cities. Republican states have struggled with this issue for decades, but when a teensy tiny portion of these border crossers show up in blue cities, they all get the vapors.
The recent freak out is over winter approaching. They’re declaring winter a “nightmare.” Like they just thought about it. Because they probably just did. And of course, they want all taxpayers to foot the bill for their sanctuary cities and poor planning.
Democrat-controlled cities across the U.S. are facing housing shortages and a “nightmare winter” as migrants continue to arrive in major cities, according to a media report on Friday.
The Politico article, headlined “Democratic cities brace for a nightmare winter housing migrants,” detailed the effects of the migrant crisis on New York City and Chicago.
Some cities are facing a worse crisis than others. In “New York, where shelters are also full, the city has taken the extraordinary steps of providing migrants one-way plane tickets to as far away as Morocco and have contemplated handing out tents to newly-arriving migrants so they can sleep in parks,” per Politico’s report.
Ah, yes, because living in a tent in New York City or Chicago during the winter is a great idea. Maybe they imagine that global warming will keep the aliens alive. You know, with all the global boiling going on, they are probably going to be toasty warm. I almost feel sorry for them, but then, they were the ones who decided to flood into our country, so . . . only almost.
The Politico article cited above has more:
The dual crises of lowering temperatures and a lack of shelter space are forcing some jurisdictions to tighten long-standing policies that previously ensured people without homes would have a place to stay — and in some cases, confront simmering racial divides.
Federal Homeland Security officials have held legal clinics in all three states [New York, Massachusetts, and Illinois] to help process thousands of migrants’ work permits more quickly. It’s a step local and state officials say is key to helping migrants provide for their families — and move out of the city and state-run shelters where they’ve been living in some cases for more than a year. The White House also included $1.4 billion for grants to local governments and nonprofits providing services for recently arrived migrants as part of a larger spending bill for Israel and Ukraine.
A DHS official not authorized to speak publicly said about $800 million has been allocated for temporary shelter and other services through various emergency food and shelter programs.
NBC News breathlessly reports that Chicago is “scrambling” to house “migrants” as winter approaches (never mind actual American citizens who are homeless, they can fend for themselves).
As Chicago’s brutal winter looms, city and state officials are scrambling to find shelter for more than 2,000 migrants now living at airports, police stations and on the city’s streets, plus long-term housing for thousands more already crammed into overcrowded shelters.
But advocates question whether newly announced measures from state and city officials intended to help migrants settle more quickly into the city will work as planned or contribute to the worsening of a humanitarian crisis spurred by the busing of thousands of people to the city from Texas.
“So much is riding on Chicago winter, and we can’t afford for anyone in our beautiful state or city to freeze because we didn’t figure this out, to die because we didn’t figure this out,” said Karina Ayala-Bermejo, the CEO and president of the Instituto del Progreso Latino, which is involved in case management and other programs for migrants.
As of Monday morning, there were 12,251 migrants living in 26 active city-run shelters, with another 2,175 waiting in O’Hare and Midway airports, as well as inside and outside of police stations, for placement, according to a city census of new arrivals. According to the city, more than 21,700 asylum-seekers and migrants have arrived since August 2022, when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s migrant busing program reached Chicago.
Notice that they know just whom to blame, and it’s not the sitting president who has presided over an ongoing border crisis of his own making due to his open border policies. Oh, no. It couldn’t be a Democrat’s fault that Chicago (a proud sanctuary city, of course) is seeing a tiny uptick, compared to what Texas and other border states have experienced as literally millions of aliens flow across our border practically unchecked. It’s all that nasty Texas governor Greg Abbott’s fault. Good grief. And this is NBC News. Blatantly partisan and blatantly dishonest.
Out in Colorado, they are also experiencing a serious crisis as Carbondale seeks to manage a startling ::: checks notes ::: 125 “migrants.”
The town of Carbondale’s Board of Trustees on Tuesday discussed goals and next steps for its effort to shelter a recent influx of Venezuelan migrants.
During a work session, trustees agreed to meet some of the migrants’ humanitarian needs in a temporary response this winter, while seeking assistance from other regional governments where possible. The town has been working since early November to develop a response to the summer and fall arrival of an estimated 125 migrants, almost all of whom are from Venezuela.
Local officials and nonprofit leaders have learned that arriving Venezuelan migrants first began sleeping under the Highway 133 bridge at the entrance to Carbondale in July, and that the Carbondale Police Department had interacted with a growing number of migrants in that location at least since October. Some trustees have said they only became aware of the situation as recently as this month.
Most migrants say they arrived in Carbondale after traveling through Denver, which is currently struggling to shelter thousands of Venezuelans fleeing an economic and political crisis in their home country. Alex Sánchez, president and CEO of local advocacy group Voces Unidas de Las Montañas, said the migrants told him they came to Carbondale looking for work.
On the bright side, at least Democrats are finally getting a taste of what red cities and states have been dealing with for decades due to Democrats failed border and immigration policies. There’s even buzz that they may be on the verge of noticing that their own voters don’t like their policies. But I wouldn’t hold my breath on any actual policy changes that would address the root problem.

Remain in mexico. Its cheaper and easier.
The majority coming in under Biden’s Presidency are not from Mexico. We have Chinese, Haitian, Venrzuelan, Honduran, you name a place in the world and we have a portion from there coming into the U.S. They get into Mexico by various means and cross from the Mexican border.
Yes, that’s true. But nearly every single one came through…. Wait for it… MEXICO!!!
It’s really amazing how those Africans and Chinese are able to swim across the oceans to get here … being refugees needing asylum and all … Amazing .. no money. Persecuted. Nothing to their name so they must come and claim asylum in America, and they are able to cover the several thousand miles (over water) in no time. And they can feed and house themselves all along the way with no problem. It’s like … magic! These “asylum seekers” are the most mobile people this planet has ever seen!
It’s also warmer.
lol
I live in Texas
Millions upon millions
Imagine this scenario? Someone has left the faucet on in sink in the utility room, the drain is plugged, the sink is overflowing and water is running all over the floor. The janitor comes by and sees the mess, but instead of turning off the faucet, he just starts mopping the floor.
What an idiot! That makes no sense. Shut off the faucet, then clean up the mess.
Until we close our border and shut off the flow of millions of illegal immigrants pouring into this country, all we’re doing is mopping the floor.
Odds are you wouldn’t hire a mentally retarded person to be that janitor. But we ‘elected’ a flaming retard as POTUS. Wtf?
“WE” didn’t elect anything. We have an interloper who was installed as the pResident.
A few states had very suspicious increases in voting patterns where mail-in ballots were manufactured.
Now, even Georgia is showing signs of malfeasance.
I refuse to believe that anyone I know is responsible for the retard who eats ice cream and sniffs little girls.
A wonderful analogy but they do not want the faucet turned off. They want to flood America with as many illegals as they can to speed up the browning of America. This was obama’s dream to totally transform our country into a third-world shithole. The big Dem-run cities are the first step and they are almost at the SH level now. Once they begin to overflow into the hinterland, the transformation will be complete.
Why the hell is it our business to house and feed these ‘migrants’.
I am sick of this crap. If they thought they would freeze and starve instead of getting free crap, they wouldn’t come.
I won’t reproduce them here for copyright reasons, but the lyrics to Steely Dan’s “The Royal Scam” read as if they were written yesterday to describe exactly what is happening now. (The song is actually about the influx of Puerto Ricans to NYC in the 1950s, but the mechanism hasn’t changed in all that time.)
One of our important jobs now is to ensure that “the letter” that goes to “the old man back home” this time is different: “It’s awful here, don’t come!“
I was stationed in Puerto Rico for a year (80-81). My view on the matter is that Castro could have it. In fact Castro DESERVED it.
Puerto Ricans are slower than American blacks and they have become a large drain on American taxpayers, they are a welfare state.
I don’t get it either! Fancy hotel rooms, native foods, what the he**?
I think those sanctuary cities should bus their immigrants to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, so they could Christmas with President Biden.
How about using military transport plane to equatorial Africa? Thye would probably receive a warm welcome.
I don’t give a flying fk. These military age males invaded our borders with the help of a retard and his group of misfits.
Let them all freeze and starve. It will be a wake up call to anyone else who decides that crossing our border illegally is a good idea.
The government didn’t give a damn about the deaths of the elderly and infirm during the China Syndrome. In fact, democrats put the safety of their families over the safety of those in retirement homes. Case in point. The fake female “admiral” wearing his costume. He moved his mother out of a nursing home when he knew the outcome would be death.
Why should we care about invaders who were uninvited?
“I almost feel sorry for them, but then, they were the ones who decided to flood into our country, so . . . only almost.”
I do feel sorry for them. They are desperate people who have become political pawns in a game conducted by incompetent, horrible, leftist ideologues. Biden invited theses vulnerable people in. Kamala Harris did a tour of Mexico and Central America. Under pressure, she said “Don’t come.” That’s the best this Administration could do? What wouldn’t you risk to leave if you lived in Venezuela?
I don’t feel sorry for them even one little bit. Not a bit. They are not poor, hapless pawns. They are greedy, selfish, lowlifes who are just going where they think they can steal the most and get away with the most. They are enthusiastic invaders and destroyers.
EXACTLY.
I you know what a pressure cooker is then you are seeing the lid being closed and the heat turned up with the mess in the big cities with the illegals. They are mostly young males and they will reach a point where they can no longer tolerate the conditions they are now living in and will strike back. It may take the form of large protests but it could also take the form of a huge crime wave. The cities’ police forces are at their lowest level ever and they will not be able to cope with the surge in crime. Think of the horrible BLM “Peaceful” protests and then double it. The police will be dealing with people who have nothing to lose and they are the most dangerous. This is all due to Biden and yet the Dems still back him on this issue. Between inflation and this invasion of our country if this cannot run him out of office we are doomed.
It’s kind of funny that most people seem to have forgotten where this term “sanctuary city/state” came from. The “sanctuary” part of that was not with regards to the world, outside of America. The original term was meant to indicate that these treasonous cities and states (and their treasonous officials) were declaring American territory to be a sanctuary FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT! That was what the original label was meant to express – illegal aliens could go there and get sanctuary from the mean federal government that was trying to deport them … for being illegally present and needing deportation. The whole thing with these treasonous “sanctuary cities/states” was that local law enforcement was ordered NOT to cooperate with ICE and not to let the federal government know where illegal aliens were. THAT was the “sanctuary” part. Not a sanctuary from some problems outside of America but sanctuary from federal law – which was completely illegal and un-Constitutional and people should have been convicted of treason for those policies.
It seems that most Americans have completely forgotten about this, even though it was only a handful of years ago when this was explicit and clear. Now, so many pretend that they “sanctuary” declaration has something to do with being welcoming to invading hordes. It was so much more and it was so specifically directed as a war against the federal government and federal law. But now, there effectively is no federal law, at all. NONE.
Yep. This is exactly how the message should be hammered home.
These blue enclaves with sanctuary policies deliberately chose local policies to refuse to work with Federal immigration agents for decades. They did so b/c the voters in these locations demanded it. Now they are beginning to reap what they sowed.
These blue enclaves have begun to demand Federal taxpayer assistance and will continue to do so. They don’t have any sense of irony about this. Nor do these woke/lefty weirdos have any sense of shame that it is only when their own blue enclaves are impacted beyond the breaking point that they want more Federal gov’t involvement to address illegal aliens. Where were these folks when border States and rural America were inundated with illegal aliens? They we’re on their high horse of d/prog virtue signaling about sanctuary policies. Now their chickens have come home to roost. Not one dime of Federal assistance until the border is secured.
No assistance. Now, after the border is secured, or EVER.
I would really like to see the border communities and rural Counties where illegal aliens burdened the taxpayers for decades be compensated. Don’t see how to do that without providing a few crumbs to sanctuary Cities.
We all knew this — back in the Obama years — but it has dropped off the radar of many of us. Thanks for the valuable reminder.
Venezuelans began showing in July and “some trustees have said they only became aware of the situation as recently as this month,” which is a bald-faced lie. Of course there’s no follow up question like ‘how could you not notice.’
>> . . . . and in some cases, confront simmering racial divides.<<
Yeah, the blacks in these sanctuary cities have realized they are being replaced as the new minority of choice and don't like it one bit. How dare officials take the money that would be spent on blacks and give it over to those filthy illegals. NIMBY!
“They are hounded down /
to the bottom of a bad town /
amid the ruins /
Where they learn to fear /
an angry race of fallen kings /
their dark companions…”
Governor Healey has urged all Massachusetts residents to open their homes to these undocumented, but constantly filmed migrants. The wife and I were adding a wing to our home to accommodate several families, but received a stop work order. The state migrant czar, whose preferred pronoun is “your money, not mine”, declared that a wing extension in the COLONIAL style demonstrated cultural insensitivity bordering on a hate crime. A crisis intervention architect has been called in.
Had to log back in to give you a great big HA HA!
How many of these young, military-age males “requesting sanctuary” are Muslims?
We don’t know, because the Biden administration is NOT keeping track of the invaders.
Next question:
Will any ballot/election after 2022 (or 2019 for that matter) ever be considered valid?
All this emphasis on illegal aliens helps, but we should not forget that “our” government allows in between 1 to 2 million LEGAL aliens every year.
EVERY year. No wonder our schools, our roads, our hospitals, are bursting. AND we are being persecuted more and more for our rational desire to have no more come in, because we simply don’t have the infrastructure for such rapid increases in humanity.
The point of letting in illegal immigrants is to choose carefully among people capable of filling the American teat, not draining it.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Caring for those poor displaced victims of imperialism is Les Deplorables problem; they don’t deserve what they have anyway.
