Democrats and media retailers are instantly alarmed that unlawful migrants are turning sanctuary cities like Washington, New York and Chicago into “unofficial border cities.” By no means thoughts the ache in precise border cities in Texas and Arizona since President Joe Biden opened the southern border — per Democrats’ needs.
Migrants have reworked DC into “an unofficial border city,” a Washington Put up story lamented final week, quoting an official from a gaggle that helps newcomers there. The paper flags the “political gamesmanship” of Govs. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) and Gov. Doug Ducey (R-Ariz), who it says are busing “migrants as a political assertion” about Workforce Biden’s border insurance policies.
In the meantime, Democratic Reps. Adriano Espaillat (NY), Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC), Jesús García (Ailing.) and others are calling for $50 million in federal funding for “sanctuary cities” to deal with the brand new arrivals, whereas slamming Abbott and Ducey for “enjoying politics” with migrants’ lives.
How wealthy. All of a sudden, when cities that end-run federal regulation and declare to need extra migrants get despatched a couple of thousand of them, their leaders pop up,blast the states sending them and demand tens of millions in federal help. But tens of millions of unlawful border-crossers have swamped border communities for 20 months, with silence from Dems and left-leaning media.
That silence is why these govs acquired the buses going. And now the left is shocked? And needs taxpayers nationwide to foot the invoice in Dem-run cities?
Sure, resettling unlawful migrants is costly. But Biden didn’t care about that when he reversed every little thing President Donald Trump did to dissuade them from coming within the first place. And now the tide retains rising, drawing new waves from ever additional afield.
So sanctuary cities getting hit with a fraction of the burden are discovering their pious posturing might price massive? Sorry: Having the feds (the taxpayers) shell out billions for dear new packages will solely add to the attraction.
Sure, billions: The New York, DC and Illinois pols counsel every of, say, 20,000 migrants prices $2,500; 2 million have crossed this yr. That works out to $5 billion a yr.
Repair the precise drawback, not the symptom. Dems who don’t need to embarrass the prez can do it behind the scenes, however inform the White Home it’s acquired to really safe the border — not simply fake.
