Democrat mayors engage in hypocritical whining

&NewLine;<p>Thousands of migrants who have crossed the American border are being sent to several major northern cities&comma; and the local mayors are taking to the airwaves with hypocritical pity stories&period;&nbsp&semi; They are complaining that they do not have adequate physical facilities and money to accommodate the new arrivals&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>They place the blame on southern governors like Greg Abbott&comma; of Texas&comma; and Ron DeSantis&comma; of Florida&comma; for sending the migrants to their cities&period;  They call it heartless &&num;8212&semi; and an endangerment to the migrants&period;  So far&comma; none of the migrants have been injured or died as a result of the travel to their northern destination&period;  If there is any heartlessness or danger to their wellbeing&comma; it is after they arrive in the new cities&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Mayor Eric Adams&comma; of New York&comma; says that the problem would be solved if officials in the Big Apple would be given advance warning&period;&nbsp&semi; Of course&comma; he said that after repeatedly claiming that the number of migrants are the problem &&num;8212&semi; not so much their arrival times&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In a recent telecast&comma; Adams was joined by Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston in mutual bleating over the number of migrants being sent to their communities&period;&nbsp&semi; They say it is unsustainable&period;&nbsp&semi; The migrant problem is consuming up to 10 percent of the billion-dollar municipal budgets&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>According to December 2023 figures&comma; New York has received 161&comma;000 migrants in the past year … Chicago 26&comma;000 &lpar;since August 2022&rpar; … and Denver 35&comma;000&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi; This is a very small number of those crossing the border&period;&nbsp&semi; Cumulatively&comma; it is only a fraction of the 730&comma;000 migrants who crossed the American border in the last three months – and a pittance of the more than 8 million who entered America illegally since President Biden took office and kicked the border open even further&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>These are also the Democrat administrations that have enticed and encourage illegal migrants to come to their cities&period;&nbsp&semi; They declared themselves to be &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;sanctuary cities&comma;” where illegal aliens can live without fear of arrest or deportation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement &lpar;ICE&rpar;&period;&nbsp&semi; Cities which historically have been offering a range of benefits for migrants entering the United States illegally – such as schooling&comma; welfare&comma; drivers’ licenses and&comma; in some cases&comma; voting rights&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>As if that is not enough&comma; the mayor of Denver wants to provide the illegal aliens with work permits so that they would not have to rely on the financial resources of the city – the very thing they offered as an incentive to come to America&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Now that the chickens are starting to roost in their backyard&comma; the mayors are bleating like hungry pigs&period;  Even though the problem rests mostly with the White House and past and current Democrat policies&comma; they point the finger at Abbott and DeSantis&period;  Their only issue with Washington is that they want more money – the Democrats’ evergreen cure-all&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Interestingly&comma; neither Adams&comma; Johnson nor Johnston never called for closing the border – stopping the crisis at the source&period;&nbsp&semi; They just want two things&period;&nbsp&semi; More money from Uncle Same and to have the migrants sent someplace else&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>It is classic hypocritical NIMBY &lpar;not in my back yard&rpar;&period;&nbsp&semi; They simply do not want to take responsibility for the crisis they helped cause&period;&nbsp&semi; What their huge cities cannot accommodate they want handled by much smaller towns&period;&nbsp&semi; They do not want to raise local taxes to address the problem but want to spread the cost over the national taxpayer base by way of money from Washington&period;&nbsp&semi; They do not seem interested in stopping the illegal crossings&period;&nbsp&semi; And they definitely do not want to point a finger at the one person who could take immediate actions to protect the border &&num;8230&semi;&period; Joe Biden&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Save your sympathy&period;&nbsp&semi; These mayors are getting what they deserve m—and even less than they deserve&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>So&comma; there &OpenCurlyQuote;tis&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
