G.O.P. Gets the Democratic Border Crisis It Wanted
The New York Times ^ | September 8, 2023 | Jonathan Weisman

*** A year later, the migrant waves (Abbot) helped set in motion have put northern “sanctuary” cities increasingly on edge, their budgets stretched, their communities strained. And a border crisis that has animated Republican politics for years is now dividing the Democratic Party. Humanitarian impulses are crashing into desperate resource constraints and once-loyal Democratic allies have reluctantly joined Republicans to train their fire on President Biden.

Eric Adams, the mayor of the nation’s largest city, declared this week that without a federal bailout and clampdown at the border, swelling migration “will destroy New York City.” The nation’s second-largest city, Los Angeles, has promised to sue Mr. Abbott. And the liberal mayor of the third-largest city, Chicago, began pleading last month for the White House to step in.

“Let me state this clearly: The city of Chicago cannot go on welcoming new arrivals safely and capably without significant support and immigration policy changes,” Mayor Brandon Johnson said.

Gov. Maura Healey of Massachusetts, a liberal Democrat, has declared a state of emergency...

The migrants on state-funded buses from Texas are a fraction of the total number arriving in northern cities. Texas brags that its “Operation Lone Star” has sent more than 13,100 migrants to New York City since August 2022, but the overall strain there stems from the total, more than 110,000. Some of those migrants have family in New York, while others are attracted to the city’s history of welcoming immigrants....

Now, suddenly, some Democrats are sounding remarkably like Republicans....

For Republicans, the response to Mr. Abbott’s gambit has gone beyond what they could have hoped for — a spreading of the pain, as millions of migrants stream across the southern border, fleeing violence and poverty, drawn to what they see as a more welcoming administration in Washington and plentiful work.

It’s our fault when they get paid back for their stupid policies.

"G.O.P. Gets the Democratic Border Crisis It Wanted"

The progressive plot to pack conservative states with liberal voting dependent slaves to the democrat party has gone awry.

Bringing violence and poverty.

The left alone will always be responsible for this and trans kids.

They will never wash that stench away.

Make them own it. Remind the voters they are the party. They are to blame.

Aww, Weisman has the sadz cuz the Great Replacement plan just had a major monkeywrench thrown into it.

If ya think 10 or 20 thousand is a big deal wait till it turns into a couple million. The ethnic warfare between blacks and hispanics competing for welfare cash will go nuclear.

It’s Cloward-Piven and Abbott, whether he knows it or not is exasperating the situation.

Typical for the MSM. Liberals make a mess, and Republicans are evil for noticing it.

Oh, yeah. Good thing we have the NYT to tell us that their own policies are somebody else's fault. I notice it isn't a "crisis" until it inconveniences the urban elites.

“Operation Lone Star” has sent more than 13,100 migrants to New York City since August 2022, but the overall strain there stems from the total, more than 110,000.

So they're admitting it isn't Abbott's and Texas's fault? Who does that leave?

I have always said the answer is very simple: Get the DEMS to believe that the illegals will vote Republican and the problem will be solved in a few days with a secure border and deportation underway.
