   Martha's Vineyard Isn't The First Time D

   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.
