Amid an influx of migrants, Democratic leaders in New York and Chicago told the Daily Caller they feel ghosted by President Joe Biden.
Throughout the last few months, several Democrat-run states and cities have become overwhelmed with migrants, often lacking enough shelter and resources to take the individuals in. Despite some action from the Biden administration, leaders feel as if the president has not responded to their calls for help.

“No communication [from the White House ] whatsoever,” Democrat Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez told the Daily Caller. “I actually sent a letter to the White House asking for the President to address this matter when he was here a few months ago. My understanding is that even with multiple talks regarding the Democratic National Convention, the topic of migrant asylum seekers has never once come up in conversation with our mayor and the President, or other high-level Democratic Party leaders.”
“I think everyone is content to just ignore the situation and hope it goes away, rather than address it not only in Chicago but in all the major cities that find themselves currently inundated with these individuals,” Lopez told the Daily Caller.
