NYC mayor declares 'emergency' due to migrants

That wall Trump built was a piece of crap.

And, was remarkably effective in the areas where there were no gaps.

Biden administration proposes moving the TX border farther north. Idiots.

I love how Eric Adams is jumping up and down about how illegal immigration is destroying NYC and they're getting no help.

Now you know what the border states have been putting up with for years.

Biden stopped doing everything that was working to prevent illegal immigration.
Because, allowing millions of migrants into the US is part of his plan. He has proven this over and over and over again.

Hate to break it to you but none of Trump's crap was actually working. The only thing that had any impact at all was covid and even that wasn't his doing.

At some point, it would be nice if liberals admit that people can have concerns about these things because they are, in fact, valid concerns for any society. We just don't have an infinite ability to absorb all the undocumented people in a humane way.

+100
And stating those facts does not make anyone a "racist."

Who is tweeting this message?

Just watched the video. Mayor Adams is a truth teller in a time where it's dangerous to tell the truth. Why isn't he running for president?

Yes - he's telling the truth *now*. After his city has been inundated with the illegal immigrants he initially insisted would be welcome there. Too bad he didn't have a little foresight prior to this happening.

Don't feel too bad for him. He was all aboard the "sanctuary city, we must protect our immigrants, all are welcome" train until it stopped at his front door.

Exactly. I would feel horrible for him and the situation he is currently in if he hadn't pretty much asked for it to happen. He calls this a "national emergency" (which it is) but apparently thinks Texas should be solely responsible for these illegal immigrants. Nope.

This is bigger than NYC. People should be looking at 2024, or we are just passing around a hot potato between states.

Another term of Biden is simply going to be a continuation of these repugnant border policies.

The illegal migrants seen assaulting officers in this video have been released without bail. It’s more than likely all charges will be dismissed.

In a sane world if an illegal migrant committed assault on a police officer their deportation would be immediate.

Particularly ones who are living entirely at the expense of taxpayers.

But it’s clear we no longer function as a civilized city. There are essentially zero consequences for all manner of crime, and the criminals know it — even the ones who just got here.

This is what Democrat governance gives you. Had enough yet?

Hate to break it to you, sunshine, but this is happening in Republican-run parts of the country too. We need comprehensive reforms.

Yes, Democrats are being stupid but Republicans have been equally stupid, for obstructing any attempt to solve it, like adding judges to speed up deportations, like funding facilities to put them rather than being forced to release them and so on. All Republicans want to do is point fingers, they have zero genuine interest in solving the problem. Their entire strategy is to allow the problems to persist and worsen, and then try and use it as ammunition against the left. It's the absolute worst kind of cynical bullshit.

Trump tried the wall and that resulted in hysterical wailing and crying of the dems after he was elected. GOP can't do nothing without libs intervening.

Trump's wall was a complete failure even without the Dems doing a single thing. It was naive. It was overpriced and a logistical nightmare, which is why he only managed to get a tiny portion built. And of that portion built, they easily cut through it with cheap battery powered angle grinders. They lobbed drugs over top of it. Parts of the wall fell down on its own. They circumnavigated it with no problem.

Again, the issues are around a.) slowing the flow of migrants in the first place, by giving them more reason to stay home - but NOOOO we can't do that because we can't spend a penny of aid on "shithole" countries, with FAKE MADE-UP excuses why not "because we have homeless vets" (which you also don't care about). b.) improving detection at the border with technology (which is what Israel and other counties do) but NOOO we just need a big expensive but weak wall c.) using diplomacy and international communications campaigns to pierce the cartels lies about "we will get you into America and they will take you and give you free shit" d.) hiring judges and clerks and bolstering the capacity to hear refugee cases so that they can be dealt with ON THE SPOT, no "come back in 2 years for a hearing" and e.) having a place to put them when there is a backlog and f.) fixing our visa program so that businesses who want them can actually hire them but then have to actually comply with all laws with criminal penalties for employers who don't and g.) back to c, making it clear to every country that there is a process and that they can't come here without folllowing the process.

Please review Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy, which was enforced.

Then Biden entered and withdrew that policy, accused CBP of "whipping migrants", started deconstructing the wall and letting parts of it rust in the desert, and let immigrants flood in even though they weren't tested, vaccinated and quarantined while threatening U.S. citizens of losing their jobs if they didn't get vaccinated, etc., etc.

Dems have been the destruction of this country. MEN HAVE BEEN FREELY USING WOMENS PUBLIC RESTROOMS AND TEARING THEM UP. One time a security guard was screaming af the top of his lungs for a man who went into the ladies bathroom at the movies to come the f out. Then this month a man came out of the women's bathroom I was waiting on. Toilet seat up and piss on the floor.

Sounds more like a cleanliness issue.

How many times have women gone to the men’s room at an outdoor concert/fair/sporting event when the women’s room line was obnoxiously long? Plenty. The bathroom “issue” should be a non issue — make them all unisex.

DP. Absolutely no way should bathrooms be unisex. I have no interest in sharing the bathroom with men. Good luck with that.

THIS ^^. And nothing will change because idiots will continue "voting blue no matter who."

Precisely. There is no way liberals can lie about this now that it's come to their own backyards and the whole nation is watching. No longer is it a distant nuisance they can gaslight away. Honestly, I applaud Gov. Abbott and DeSantis. It takes guts to do what they did, but if they hadn't, not one Democrat would even be acknowledging the disaster the Biden administration has allowed.

They need to start bussing them to other blue sanctuary cities and get the attention of the local leaders in those places.

Let's send more to Chicago, Minneapolis, San Francisco, LA, and cities in the NE. Spread the wealth!!!

Doubled from 100k to 200k under Biden but conveniently you ignore that it got to 100k under Trump in the first place. Trump's measures WERE NOT effective.
