How ironic that Bill DeBlasio, New York Citys mayor, who designated his city a sanctuary city, and Governor Andrew Cuomo, who designated New York a sanctuary state, both in defiance of federal orders, have blamed the federal government for not supplying all of their hospital and other state needs. These two, among other prominent Democrat mayors and governors who for many years virtue-signaled and put the rest of the country in jeopardy --- claiming it is not the fed's business what they do in their states --- suddenly have relinquished city and state responsibility for the conditions in their jurisdictions. Virus protection is the federal governments obligation, they bellow.
These same mayors and governors who proudly stood in the way of ICE, the federal governments agency for protecting our borders and citizens from illegal immigrant criminality, were blithely willing to endanger the rest of the country by arrogating to themselves all power. Suddenly, they take no personal blame for the lack of preparedness and supplies, or the absence of a game plan in their districts, where heretofore they claimed absolute power and independence.
Some questions: Why hadnt they stockpiled masks, gowns, gloves, and ventilators? Some have held office for almost ten years. It seems they were not focused on nuts and bolts but exotic projects and trendy politics. Their city and state health departments have budgets of hundreds of millions of dollars. We now see they are all boast but no toast. Instead of serious governing, they have spent the last three years trying, through the courts, do defy President Trump. Who do they blame for whats happening now in their city and state? Trump and the federal government.

Is he the only Rabbi against the sanctuary policies?
Is he even against them, or does he just want stockpiling, too?
The leadership has the policies it has because it wins them elections.
It’s amazing how badly NY is doing. But they did disregard everything Trump said and did their own thing
Thanks as always...I don’t know how it could be made any more clear. I’ve decided that it’s a waste of my time to try to convince anyone how wrong policies like these and the politicians have been. They don’t want to help - only to hinder.
Made up my mind to that this morning when I received an email from someone in Australia who is berating OUR PRESIDENT...Heaven only knows what kind of news they listen to. I’d already warned them that the media does not report truth. I see that was to no avail.
I don’t think I would CARE what their PM or whatever did but they sure seem to think it’s their business to comment on what OUR president is doing. If they thought he was doing everything right, I wouldn’t hear from them.
If someone were to put a map of sanctuary states next to a map of the COVID19 spead, I wonder if we would find any...uh... coincidences.
