The Army-Navy game is one of the most prestigious rivalries in college football. And yet the U.S. Military Academy and the Naval Academy have been declared losers at the hands of the crisis at the southern border.
Some hotel reservations for those attending the Dec. 9 game in Massachusetts have been canceled due to the migrant crisis. Massachusetts had all but designated itself as a sanctuary state, with eight sanctuary cities calling the state home. Therefore, overwhelmed border communities have sent illegal immigrants to the Bay State.
THE RECKLESS ALLIANCE THAT DEPOSED MCCARTHY
Massachusetts’s “right to shelter” law and inability to realize that encouraging illegal immigrants to cross the border by promising to be a sanctuary means you may someday have to follow through has left the state stuck. Now, hotels are having to lease rooms out to the government to accommodate the illegal immigrants arriving in the state. As a result, Army and Navy fans are having their reservations canceled.
These aren’t just college football fans, though. The teams aren’t Alabama and Florida State. Fans of Army and Navy are typically alumni of Army and Navy, meaning they are veterans and service members. Those who aren’t are typically their families or the families of current players who will go on to become full-fledged service members. That is who Massachusetts’s sanctuary promise is denying hotel rooms for ahead of one of the most storied and most unique rivalry games in the history of college football.
Nothing quite embodies the current state of the Democratic Party on immigration more than evicting veterans who want to watch a football game from hotel rooms in favor of the illegal immigrants you invited to cross the border. Then again, maybe we should all just consider it lucky that the state didn’t give away veterans’ tickets to the game as well just to show how “inclusive” Massachusetts really is.
