Leaders of major metros around the U.S. have pushed for more progressive immigration policies in recent years by declaring themselves safe havens for illegal immigrants. Now, however, as the realities of the financial and social impacts of those policies sink in, some local leaders are thinking twice.
Millions of illegal immigrants have flowed across the southern border since President Joe Biden took office, with many seeking haven in self-proclaimed "sanctuary cities."
“The policies of the Biden administration have certainly upped the ante on this sort of virtue signaling in recent years,” Ira Mehlman from the Federation for American Immigration Reform told The Center Square, referring to sanctuary cities. “Some 2.3 million new illegal aliens have entered the country since Biden took office, and a lot of them have wound up in these sanctuary jurisdictions, either on their own, transported by the federal government, or transported by other jurisdictions that simply cannot handle the influx.”
Cities like New York and Chicago have dismissed concerns from border states in recent years, but now they are raising the alarm that they cannot handle the flood of migrants.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams publicly said last week the city cannot handle any more migrants. He told reporters that the city plans to pass out flyers at the southern border to discourage illegal immigrants from traveling to NYC.
The Center for Immigration Studies recently published a map of sanctuary states, cities and counties. Yellow squares represent counties, red represents cities and green represents states.

It also reminds me that after Obamacare passed and democrats found out how much it would actually cost, a leftist in California was interviewed about her increased insurance cost and said, “I know they said the ‘rich’ would pay for it, but they are acting as if I am the rich”. (I’m paraphrasing).
Stupidity SHOULD be painful!
The “sanctuary” morons invited them. Why the hell are they turning them away. Most of the women are three and four hundred pounds and pregnant. They walked here all the way from Antarctica just to get a drink of water from the Texas National Guard.
Where’s my tiny violin?
“The same Northern neighbor who made the most racist comment my sweet white Southern ass has ever heard.”
You noticed that.
I’ve heard the same here in Virginia. The worst racists are the ones, black and white, from up north who end up here in the south. Some even wax poetic in their racism.
And I’ll take your word on the condition of your ass.😇
“...my sweet white Southern ass...”

Build a wall with the bricks the rioters throw.
“Progressives never admit they were wrong.”
If they did their entire world would crumble.
Their ideals are like a religion. They have invested total passion. They can never back out.
