Sanctuary cities like New York City experience a FRACTION of what Texas border communities face every day.
We'll continue busing migrants to NYC, DC, & Chicago to relieve our overwhelmed border towns until Biden does his job to secure the border.
Mayor Adams declared a state of emergency Friday over the city’s migrant crisis and pleaded for financial and legislative assistance from the federal government and state lawmakers.
The emergency declaration will suspend certain land use requirements in order for the city to more rapidly construct tent camps to house migrants, such as the controversial facility set to be constructed on Randalls Island, Adams said in a speech from City Hall.
But the declaration only goes so far, Adams said. With more than 17,000 South and Central American migrants currently in the city, the homeless shelter system is nearly at 100% capacity and social services are being strained to the brink of collapse, he said.
“It is burning through our budget,” he said, predicting that the city will spend more than $1 billion on the crisis in this fiscal year alone.
“It is not sustainable, and it is not right,” he added.
As a result, Adams demanded that President Biden’s administration and state lawmakers in Albany do what they can to help, including allocating emergency funding and passing legislation that would expedite work permits for the migrants.
“This is an all-hands-on-deck moment,” he said.

Redditors would be the first to complain about judging the value of a demographic by how much they paid in taxes in literally any other context than red vs blue.
Imagine the bitchfit if Musk or Bezos said they were more important than poors because they paid more in taxes. Or if Richard Spencer said that the whites were more important than the blacks because they paid more in taxes. They’d whine non stop for literal years about that kind of shit.

I don't think the "Republicans are welfare queens" line is even true: a few years ago someone did some deboonking and found that most of the cost of welfare in red states was actually going to Democrat-run cities and counties in those states and was mostly taken by minorities.

yea, try living without food producers, fishermen, etc. as well. In the end, there would be one municipality left, because all the others would be a net loss

I thought the same thing about how much they say “poor states shouldnt decide how better states live” in between whining on how billionaires are allowed to have a say in politics because they have money
