When does the influx of people at our southern border become an emergency? Apparently when it finally affects cities and states far from that border.
Mayor Eric Adams declared a state of emergency Friday due to the sharp increase in the number of migrants arriving in his city. “El Paso, the city manager, the mayor, they should stop sending buses to New York,” Adams implored.
Last week in these pages, City Councilman Joe Borelli saluted the mayor for declaring the emergency and noted that “17,400 migrants have entered New York City since this spring (more than half of whom were sent by the Democratic mayor of El Paso, Texas), and the estimated price tag has ballooned to more than $1 billion. Even in a city with the budget of Switzerland, these figures are daunting.”
They are. And they represent a tiny fraction of migrants presenting themselves at the border. According to US Customs and Border Protection, 203,597 people crossed our southwest land border in August alone. For comparison, that number was 62,707 in August 2019. Suddenly 17,400 over the course of several months doesn’t seem like New York’s fair share.

Please tell us, what city deserves them more than an immigrant loving, caring, welfare supporting sanctuary city?
Keep sending them.
It should hurt to be stupid. Not it may finally.
Where can I donate for bus tickets?
“Keep sending them.”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
More and faster.
Somebody needs to tell Eric that if he ain’t with the Biden program then he ain’t black!
When it comes knocking on their turf. Then all the talk about “welcoming refugees” and Emma Lazarus saying “naughty, naughty” stops, because they’ve been smacked in the face with reality.
The biggest city and the richest in the US can’t handle 17, 000 illegals. This is just the well understood ‘poor me’ racket cities and states pull all the time. The whole trick is to get the feds to pony up. The city has more than enough resources cover a lot bigger number of illegals, it wisely doesn’t want to spend any of its loot if the feds can be pushed to do it and Gotham wants to try and discourage more illegals that it doesn’t control arriving.
The nimby democrats are so utterly hypocritical, of course we already knew that.
until the democrats start demanding to close the border and deport any illegals who are apprehended for ANYTHING, and then starting to look for them to deport them.
Put the screws to them until they cry “Uncle”.
Anarchy at the border, inflation through the roof, gas through the roof, Russia potentially setting off a nuke, and MSNBC brings Mary Trump on to bash Donald and NBC brings on Maggot Haberman to bash Donald. Priorities, priorities. Unfreakinbelievable

‘TIO”
Possibly a credit card of their own.
Anybody can start a credit card if they can meet the regulatory requirements.
Ignore. My phone changed the thread I was responding to.
In bald faced hypocrisy there is great strength. To bad so many normals have no clue about its value and strength.
In order to BE a "sanctuary city" one MUST give sanctuary to whatever number of ILLEGALS that show up.
In simple terms: "Walk the Walk" if you're gonna "Talk the Talk!"
Adams is the perfect cry baby to provoke in the media capitol of America. However his balling is more about getting a cut. Want me to accept immigrants? Pay me. Lightfoot in Chicago just shipped them to the suburbs.
Perfect! Make this a national issue (again?).
In before the democrats propose a “final solution”...
