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.

I have a revolutionary and controversial idea. Maybe we could just secure the border entirely so that neither New York nor Texas gets slammed by illegal migrants.
I know it sucks for wealthy liberal elites not to be able to push the problems caused by their incompetent governance onto middle-class conservatives, but if it solves their own problems also, perhaps they would consider it? Like this border crisis could be 90% solved simply by burying a lot of land mines at the border and putting big warning signs in front of them, but nobody has the balls to do that.

Libs don't like that for two reasons: first, the narrative of saving the immigrants is a very easy appeal to emotions towards their voter base of guilt-stricken mayos. The idea that we need to take the mantle of responsibility and be the white saviors to the Latinxs is pure gold for such people, especially when none of them have to foot the bill or face higher competition in the workforce since they all end up in red states. The second reason is that, for the wealthy elites who actually matter to them outside of votes, "solving" the migrant crisis would rob them of their peasant underclass whom they can pay in slave wages.

pisses me off so fricking bad. lax "immigration" laws are basically a stake through the heart of universal healthcare's budget, which is a much more productive lefty policy goal, but a bunch of "liberals" would rather sneed on immigration than actually improve the lives of the impoverished around them.

Your lack of understanding of both immigration and universal healthcare pisses me off. It's clear you know nothing about either issue and are just spouting off ignorant, hateful rhetoric.
