DC Mayor Bowser asks for National Guard help with migrant buses from southern border: 'Humanitarian crisis'

Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser is asking the National Guard to mobilize in an effort to deal with the migrants that are being bused to the city from southern states.

The mayor, who has championed accepting migrants entering the country illegally as a human rights issue, requested the DC National Guard be activated indefinitely to assist with what she called a "humanitarian crisis."

Bowser is asking that the DC Armory be used as a processing center and DC National Guard resources be used to help field migrants as they arrive by bus.

Migrants by the busloads have been sent to the capital by GOP governors Greg Abbott of Texas and Doug Ducey of Arizona as a political statement over President Biden's handling of the immigration crisis at the southern border.

Bowser has vocally complained about the migrant surge in her city, suggesting those entering the country are being "tricked" into coming to D.C. but stressed it is "a federal issue that demands a federal response."

Concrete blocks and miles of razor wire, some assembly required. In the middle of the Rio Grande, at every point shallow enough to wade across. Loops to come within a foot of the surface to catch the swimmers.

Land mines at non-river crossings.

Aspen Colorado needs them desperately. A couple hundred thousand would be a good start.

You are the idiot.

You don't bus infiltrators into the interior of the country knowing that they'll be dispersed and absorbed into rural communities.

That's exactly what's going to happen with these illegals bussed to D.C. They are going to get fed, housed, and clothed, and given IDs to disrupt small local towns and villages.

All Abbott had to do is activate the TX Guard to help the BP and prevent any illegals from coming in.

You stop the problem at its source.

Thanks.

“The D.C. National Guard is the only National Guard unit, out of all of the 54 states and territories, which reports only to the President. “
