President Biden and Congress should send the influx of migrants to the National Mall in Washington, DC, and not the former Fort Wadsworth military base on Staten Island, Borough President Vito Fossella said Tuesday.
“Immigration is a federal responsibility … Staten Island didn’t cause this problem. Why is Staten Island being asked to solve the migrant crisis,” the former Republican congressman quipped.

Good idea and good riddance to those losers!
Why is it a liberal in Staten Island has no problem with shipping illegals to DC.
But shipping them out of Texas in the first place>
Problem.
No worries, they’re just our replacements, won’t be our problem anymore.

Do this.
How about Zoos? Some of those primates are getting pretty long in the tooth. Why not be resourceful with the newly emptied cages?

Even though the illegal alien problem is now becoming evident in blue states, high income Democrats are still insulated. Illegal aliens need to be housed by the tens of thousands in Tribeca, at Martha’s Vineyard, in Georgetown, and in Nob Hill.
Don’t forget the White House lawn! And Rehobeth Beach.
They are emptying the jails in an effort to house illegals
