DC Mayor Declares Public Emergency Over Flood of Illegal Immigrants From Texas
The Epoch Times ^ | September 8, 2022 Updated: September 9, 2022 | Zachary Stieber

The mayor of the city of Washington has declared a public emergency over the influx of illegal immigrants into the nation’s capital.

Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the emergency on Sept. 8. The city has received some 9,400 illegal aliens from the states of Texas and Arizona, according to her office.

“Our response involves how can we live up to our values and make sure we have a humane, efficient process to deal with a crisis not of our making,” Bowser, a Democrat, told reporters during a briefing.

The declaration enables the mayor to establish a new office, the Office of Migrant Services, specifically to help the illegal immigrants arriving from the border states.

The office will receive an initial $10 million to establish the office, which will help nonprofits and others greet, house, and feed the illegal aliens. The city hopes to either use federal funding or be reimbursed for the spending.

The system overseen by the office will be separate from the city’s homeless response.

A new system is necessary “so that our homeless services system can continue to function in support of DC residents and so that we can properly respond to the ongoing humanitarian crisis and provide a humane assistance to migrants,” Bowser’s office said in a slide shown at the briefing.

Washington is a so-called sanctuary city, meaning it openly welcomes illegal immigrants and restricts cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

Just to be clear.

These Illegal Invaders are NOT from Texas. And they were invited to Invade by your “Dear Leader”.

Quit your bitching and deal with it.

Doing any real work is too much for an elected Democrat to handle, and especially if it benefits their constituents instead of their own bank accounts.

The good mayor is making Einstein’s case when he said something like: There’s a limit to genius but stupid goes on forever.

Emergency? Everything is an emergency or a crisis. Most Americans are pussies; scared and shaking crouched in a corner. Just put on your face diapers and shut up.

Washington D.C is good at soup kitchens, helping people always depend on the government. They ought to be happy their ranks are increasing.

It’s a ‘sanctuary city’, Madam Bowser.

You get what you advertise for.
