New York City is being “destroyed” by the migrant crisis, Mayor Adams says.
Chicago is “tapped out,” says Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
And they both know whom to blame: Greg Abbott.
It’s the governor of Texas, the one Republican they can find, for putting some of the illegal immigrants on buses heading north.
How absolutely bonkers is this argument? Let us count the ways:
To his credit, Adams has been calling out Biden by name for refusing to reimburse New York taxpayers for the massive cost. But neither he, Lightfoot or any other top Democrat is properly blaming the president for what’s happening in the first place.
These are not legal immigrants. Stepping across the border and claiming “asylum” is not a free ticket into the United States, and the search for economic opportunity does not qualify you for such.
But Biden won’t enforce the law.
Greg Abbott is not to blame, and pointing the finger at him in nakedly partisan statements doesn’t solve the problem.
You want to fix it, Lightfoot and Adams? Why don’t you charter a few buses full of migrants to Wilmington, Del. Let’s see how long before Biden wakes up.
