GOP states push back against DC, NYC calls for federal help with migrant surge

Republican states have said the blame lies at the feet of President Biden

Republican states, including those at the southern border, are pushing back against calls from Democratic politicians in Washington D.C. and New York City for federal help with alleged surges in illegal immigrants hitting their cities -- arguing that those cities are dealing with the effects of liberal immigration policies by the Biden administration.

Both NYC Mayor Eric Adams and Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser have blamed Arizona and Texas for sending migrants to their cities, which they say is straining their social services, including homeless shelters.

Bowser claimed that migrants have been "tricked" into getting on buses to the nation’s capital and called for federal aid.


"Local taxpayers are not picking up the tab. They should not pick up the tab," Bowser said. "We really need a coordinated federal response. We know that it’s done for refugees who come to the states from all points of the world and the same has to be done in this situation."

I would think commiercrats, being the great humanitarians they claim to be, would absolutely jump for joy at the opportunity to help these downtrodden masses.  But no, they don't want them.  It couldn't be the economics of caring for them and doling out the tax dollars with which to display their kindness and provide them with everything, is interferring, could it?

That's so sad.

So typical of leftists, they want to spend your money being 'kind' and all that stuff.

Not in their back yard, though!
