NYC is largely liberal. Of course they do.

because a bunch were dumped on them by another state who had no authority to do that. Those governors lied to the people and were basically human traffickers for a political stunt.

But weren’t those unlawful immigrants dumped in those other states by a federal govt that isn’t enforcing security at the border because doing so is unpopular with the political class in those states now doing the complaining?

So you think small, under resourced towns in rural Texas should absorb the massive costs of dealing with a huge influx of people who shouldn’t be here, but draw the line when a few hundred show up in NYC?


Seriously- how do you defend that?

I'm not defending anything, but last I checked TX, FL, and NY are part of the US, and the federal government has the authority to deal with illegal immigrants, not a governor who is looking to score political points and looking to run for POTUS in two years.

Also, Desantis had ZERO authority to ship illegal immigrants from TX, a state he has ZERO jurisdiction in. So again, he's basically a human trafficker. We should put him in prison.

Yes, the federal government has the authority.... but when the federal government shirks that authority, the states most heavily impacted need to take action.

And, are you equally as outraged about the mayor of El Paso (D) busing migrants to NYC?

DeSantis should be awarded a medal for what he did. The Democrats are FINALLY talking about the crisis at the border. That is a miracle.

No it’s not up to the states. Sorry not how it works. When Texas leaves can you join them?

Answer the question: Are you equally as outraged about the mayor of El Paso (D) busing migrants to NYC?

I do not care. It’s all a stupid political stunts. This is just a made up issue by the right wing media because they do not want to talk about Trump. Answer my question will you migrate to Texas when Texas leave the US?

DP. “I do not care,” a liberal tells the truth.

Doesn’t sanctuary mean you want migrants? The $1B shoukd have been budgeted by NYC.

This. I swear people fall for the Fox News crap way too easily. “Sanctuary city declares emergency over illegals!” Yes, yes indeed. So they can procure resources to help them without a 2-year bidding process. NY has been welcoming the stranger since 1800. It’s part of what makes New York great.

Can’t say the same for some hick desert town in Texas. The migrants may not be educated or sophisticated but they know better than to stay around the type of people that hunt them for sport and praise God on Sundays.

These hick desert towns have been taking care of these people for months if not years. And Adams didn’t state that he was declaring an emergency to release funds to help these new arrivals settle into his sanctuary city. Nope. He said that he is angry, the people of NYC are angry and they didn’t ask for this.
You and Adams, Bowser and Lightfoot need to wake up. No one asked for this, but Biden isn’t doing anything to stop it.
If you declare your city a sanctuary be prepared to give sanctuary. It’s not just a lawn sign anymore.

+ a million.
These people are the very definition of NIMBYs. Utter and complete hypocrites.

? NIMBY? Have you seen how many illegal immigrants are in NY even before this stunt?

So, what about the states that get them at the first place? Are they supposed to just keep them?

Yep. People like the PP don't care. Doesn't impact their daily lives or their schools and communities. They mock and deride those who are frustrated.

You really must live in an right wing echo chamber.

Many were actually settled in other states like MD. There are many threads on here about Casa de Maryland. Last I checked MD doesn't share a border with MX.

Also, CA has more illegal immigrants than TX or FL. NY already has a lot.
Also, if you really want our northern states to bear some of the burden, then send them to the midwest northern states. They have very few illegal immigrants.

Like I said, this is just a political stunt, and Desantis had zero authority to do what he did.

DP. You don't seem very bright. It's been pointed out repeatedly that migrants were sent to communities which pride themselves on being sanctuary cities, and welcoming to illegal immigrants. Of course those communities should bear some of the burden - they're the ones lecturing others on allowing illegal immigrants in! Midwest northern states don't declare themselves sanctuary states/cities - why would illegal immigrants be sent there?

In other words: those who sanctimoniously lecture the rest of us about taking in illegal immigrants can now put their money where their mouth is. The rest of us want nothing to do with it.

LOL.. CA, MD, NY -- all have a ton of illegal immigrants. They are already sharing some of the burden.

In any case, I'll repeat... Desantis had zero authority to go into TX and traffic those illegal immigrants. That is criminal. Imagine if some private citizen did that. That person would be considered a human trafficker, tried and imprisoned. But because the darling of the R party did it, that's ok, and "liberal cities deserve it".

Talk about not bright.

Adams-NYC plan to build a tent city of Randall's Island. That is for 500 and they might use some cruise ships. Now hotels on Staten Island are being loaded with migrants. There are some R politicians on S! so maybe that's why that borough is getting loaded? Also it's an island so there is more control?
https://www.silive.com/politics/2022/10/staten-island-pols-express-outrage-over-migrants-being-housed-in-a-staten-island-hotel.html

There's only 1 public data base to even estimate where on a county/state basis there are concentrations of those illgally ptresent in the USA are located-asylum or no asylum. Unaccompanied minors released to sponsors [don't have to be legally in the USA]. That shows releases by time period and names counties that got 50 or more within any given period. It is not evenly distributed by population across counties then states or territories in USA jusisdiction.

From Venezuela-here 7 years-no asylum hearing? How do you get a temporary social security card? I didn't know they existed. Do they mean ITIN?
https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/politics/2022/10/05/venezuelan-asylum-seeker-works-to-help-new-migrants

So imagine the surprise of Ellis island and pre Ellis Island arrivals if they were placed for free in the 1700-1900 era version of a Comfort Inn? So during the height of crisis in Venezuela few [100?] tried for the USA but since Biden's open door there has been a deluge. New York Times
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/07/world/americas/venezuelan-migrants-us-border.html

If 2022 had 150k estimated from Venezuela what about the other 1.85 million? " Most have been inspired to make the harrowing and sometimes deadly journey as word has spread that the United States has no way to turn many of them back."

DP. Do the residents in Texas and Arizona have their welcome mats out?

At this point, probably not because of the numbers they've been having to absorb.

It's not just the emergency declaration. It is what he has said......

"We didn't ask for this." LOL. You think the small border towns asked for this?
Mayor Adams should be talking to Biden - not criticizing Abbott or anyone else.

This is Biden's disaster to own.

+100

Someone doesn't understand. a region of the country declared itself a sanctuary. Another part of the country did not. A exchange of migrants took place. Sanctuary city politician whines that he could not up hold his promises. Keep sending migrants till these clowns want to fix the problem.

This. 100% this.

Give people what they say they want.

Exactly. Great summary.

Their money won't buy crap if they don't enforce the law. Two women in Vegas were stabbed, one dead by - you guessed it - illegal Guatemalan with a past criminal record. Keep 'em coming, libs!

Facts are inconvenient for many. Two people killed. Four others injured. Disgusting.

Impossible, liberals insist illegal immigration is a victimless crime.
