GOP Governors Cause Havoc by Busing Migrants to East Coast
The New York Times via Yahoo ^ | August 4, 2022 | By Miriam Jordan

WASHINGTON — Lever Alejos arrived in the nation’s capital last week on a bus with dozens of fellow Venezuelans who had journeyed more than 1,300 miles from their broken country to the United States.

After being processed by U.S. border authorities, the migrants were released into South Texas, free to go where they wanted. Alejos, 28, said he was offered two options: a $50 bus ride to San Antonio or a free bus ride to Washington, D.C., paid for by the state of Texas. “I wanted San Antonio, but I had run out of money,” said Alejos.

Since April, Texas has delivered more than 6,200 migrants to the nation’s capital, with Arizona dispatching an additional 1,000 since May.

Many Venezuelans have said they made the journey to the United States because they believed that the country’s doors were open.

“On TikTok we saw that people were easily getting into the United States,” said Yennifer Ortiz, who made the trip with her partner, Luis Moreno, and their 5-year-old daughter, Sofia.

By the time they reached Texas, they had no money and were happy to board a free bus to Washington. “They told us that here, there would be people to receive us and help us,” Ortiz said.

When their bus pulled in around 8 a.m. on a recent day, volunteers directed them to a respite center run by a church, where they bathed and received a fresh change of clothes. They spent their first night on park benches, and since then have been bouncing between the homes of Americans, they said.

So, don’t the ‘mares’ of these places have space in their own dwellings to house a few of the downtrodden? Surely some supporters of the branDUHn secure border policy would gladly take some in right? Hello? Bueller?

Equity and sharing are good.

Why should the red states and border states have more illegals than the enablers of illegals in the blue states and blue city crap holes?

*** “The infrastructure in New York is not built for this,” she said. “We are not on the border.”***

Your infrastructure is as good as that in Texas and other border states. Consider yourselves on the border now. I know where I live in the Midwest, we are also hounded with illegals. So I live in a border state now, too.

Perhaps you can persuade your mayors, governors, and el presidente to close the border, build the wall, and get people to immigrate by LEGAL means, like my grandparents had to do.

Turnabout and all of that. As quickly as Biden is shipping illegals to Republican states, Republican governors are shipping them right back to Democrat states.

Martha’s Vineyard needs more illegal aliens. Dump them on the Obamas.

Yep, in addition to a free bus ride they should receive a free cruise. I’m feeling generous today.

Who created this mess?

It wasn't the GOP governors but the ruling class in DC. If a bad neighbor tosses their trash over your fence, what is so terribly wrong with tossing it back?

I would make a significant donation to bus thousands more to DC, Martha’s Vineyard, and other deep blue elitist locations!

One or two thousand in Nancy’s vineyard and back yard of her mansion would be nice.

“Venezuelans have been showing up daily at the offices of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York seeking help. “Their primary concern has been a place to stay, food for their children,” said Maryann Tharappel, who directs the organization’s immigrant and refugee services.

“The infrastructure in New York is not built for this,” she said. “We are not on the border.”

Well, to quote your mayor:

“We will continue to be one ‘sanctuary city‘. But for me that of a ‘sanctuary city ‘ means more than just saying that we will not work together with ICE and we will not allow our agencies to do work in conjunction with Immigration persecuting our undocumented residents, but we must go further, “said Adams.

The current president of the borough of Brooklyn added that it is essential “to make sure that these undocumented New Yorkers are being given the support they need, so that their families no longer live in the shadows of the American dream, but are part of that dream.”

Make no mistake, New York City will ALWAYS stand up to

@realDonaldTrump

and call out his cynical plots to divide our country. To anyone in the world fleeing hatred and oppression, the ultimate city of immigrants wants you to remember: you’re ALWAYS welcome here.

Next mayor wants NYC to be even more of a ‘sanctuary’ for illegal immigrants
