|    Martha's Vineyard Isn't The First Time D    |

      XPost: alt.politics.immigration, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, talk.politics.guns       XPost: sac.politics, alt.politics.democrats, alt.society.liberalism       From: democrat-criminals@mail.house.gov              Despite insisting that their cities are safe spaces for illegal       immigrants, Democrats have a tendency to push migrants off to their       neighbors.              Earlier this month, a Washington Post editorial acknowledged there was “no       end in sight to the procession of buses inbound” to Washington, D.C., and       praised Mayor Muriel Bowser for earmarking $10 million for the nearly       10,000 illegal immigrants who have arrived in the capital — about 15       percent of whom intend to remain there.              The Biden administration pretends it has the burgeoning problem of illegal       immigration under control. Late last month, White House spokeswoman Karine       Jean-Pierre claimed that people aren’t just walking across the border. And       just last week, Vice President Kamala Harris insisted the border was       “secure.”              Much of the national media are happy to play along with this deliberate       deception. The same corporate media that last year blithely ignored the       federal government’s mass, midnight airlifting of illegal immigrants to       New York; Jacksonville, Florida; and points beyond are now obsessed when a       southern governor flies 50 Venezuelans to swanky Martha’s Vineyard.              In their eyes, when the administration ships tens of thousands of illegal       immigrants under cover of darkness, it’s no big deal. But if the Post       spots 50 people flown into Martha’s Vineyard, somehow, it’s a “crisis.”       The media never accused the administration of using migrants as pawns or       being inhumane, yet the latter is doing exactly what Texas and Arizona are       on a vast scale.              The Post’s editors argue that “state and local officials nationwide must       accommodate a flow of migrants — in schools, shelters, streets” as if       there is no alternative. They seem unaware that for 250 years, the United       States had an immigration law and that, for much of that time, the       executive branch did its job, enforcing the law and defending our border.              What the open-borders, sanctuary-city crowd are at last realizing is that       their blank checks can be cashed. New York and Washington’s social       services are drowning under a mere 10,000 arrivals each. They’re lucky not       to be El Paso (population 684,000), which is dealing with 1,400 illegal       migrants arriving per day, or Yuma (population 97,000), which has received       250,000 so far this year.              Mayor Bowser’s $10 million might sound like a lot, but putting just 200       people in hotel rooms in Washington at $200 per night comes out to upwards       of $15 million annually, and educating the “about 70” new illegal       immigrant children now enrolled in D.C. public schools will cost a couple       million more for the first year. What happens next year?              New York City already has 7,600 migrants in its homeless shelters, which       are 99 percent full, and is struggling to find housing for 5,000 new       arrivals. As if trying to put out a fire with an eye-dropper, the city has       opened a $6.7 million “welcome center” in Manhattan to receive migrants       arriving by bus. Cost estimates for housing the city’s noncitizens already       exceed $300 million a year. To complicate things, New York requires       residents to spend at least 90 days in a shelter before being eligible for       housing vouchers. It also requires a background check to verify       applications. This normally takes a month, but it will presumably longer       to process illegal immigrants who have no records that can be checked.              Even assuming all the new arrivals actually claim asylum, the average wait       for an initial hearing in New York is over three years. In the meantime,       they will be public charges on the city’s schools, hospitals, and housing.       How long will New York taxpayers put up with this? Well, Mayor Eric Adams       has admitted that the city is reaching the end of its rope, and officials       are now said to be reconsidering their “right to shelter” commitment to       house unlimited foreign indigents on top of New York’s plentiful home-       grown needy.              New York and Washington actually look tough compared to Chicago. Mayor       Lori Lightfoot proudly signed a “Welcoming City” ordinance in February       2021 to stop city police from working with Immigration and Customs       Enforcement. But when the first busloads of 50 migrants arrived in early       September, she packed them off to neighboring Burr Ridge without telling       its mayor.              Later, when 500 migrants arrived in Chicago, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker       declared an emergency and called out the National Guard. Coincidentally,       Chicago has suffered almost the same number (491) of murders this year,       but that’s not considered an emergency worthy of mobilizing the guard.              How long will this game of pass-the-parcel continue? Migrants deserve to       be treated with dignity and compassion. However, that does not require       those who enter illegally to stay here — on the taxpayer’s dime — until       our overwhelmed immigration courts can get around to hearing their cases.       Under the Migrant Protection Protocols, they could be housed outside our       borders while their cases are considered. Even if not, ICE has to be       allowed to do its duty, and those who fail to file for asylum or whose       cases are denied after due process should be quickly deported as the law       requires. It’s time President Biden stopped denying the crisis at the       southern border and accepted the truth. Only then can we work for a       national solution to the ongoing migrant crisis.                     --       "LOCKDOWN", left-wing COVID fearmongering. 95% of COVID infections       recover with no after effects.              No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.       Officially made Nancy Pelosi a two-time impeachment loser.              Donald J.

Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed       dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
