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.

Welcome to the party, pal... er... pal-ette?
Abbot should declare Invasion and then repel it.
Bow-Wow needs to lean in and embrace Diversity. It will make DC Stronger.
Flood? A few hundred is a flood? What about the tens of thousands pouring across the border into Texas every week?
Delaware needs to receive a few dozen busloads, Rehoboth Beach in particular. The rich and famous there need household help; win-win. House them across the street from the Biden compound.
