New York’s manufactured migrant crisis may lead to a real diplomatic crisis
BY MATT O’BRIEN, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 02/23/23 10:30 AM ET
It appears that New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the merry band of anti-borders, one-world-globalists currently running America’s largest city have discovered one of the few ways they could possibly render their self-made, and largely imaginary, “migrant crisis” even worse: Manufacturing an actual diplomatic crisis with Canada.
You see, the Big Apple is a so-called “sanctuary city” that refuses to cooperate with the federal government to enforce America’s immigration laws. But, being a sanctuary city is only a tenable position when the federal government bothers to try and keep uninvited foreigners from crossing our borders. In that case, you tend to get a slow dribble of illegals who show up in your sanctuary looking for under-the-table jobs. And, if you are a kumbaya-singing, anti-borders mayor, you can safely exploit migrants to virtue signal, without encountering too many real world consequences.
But when Club Fed effectively renders the borders wide open — as it has under the Biden administration — the situation changes. In that case, illegal aliens start showing up in allegedly welcoming places like New York City asking for food, luxury hotel rooms, and cell phones, all gratis.
