Just six Democrats joined House Republicans this week to prevent President Joe Biden from turning federal lands into migrant camps for tens of thousands of illegal aliens who have been released into the United States interior.
On Thursday, the House passed Rep. Nicole Malliotakis’s legislation known as the “Protecting our Communities from Failure to Secure the Border Act” to block the federal government from using federal lands to house illegal aliens in a 224-203 vote.
Joining House Republicans to pass the legislation were Reps. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Don Davis (D-NC), Jared Golden (D-ME), Vicente Gonzalez Jr. (D-TX), Mary Peltola (D-AK), and Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA).
Malliotakis had introduced the legislation just as New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) and New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) got approval from the Biden administration to move hundreds, and potentially thousands, of border crossers and illegal aliens onto Floyd Bennett Field.
“Turning our federal parks into encampments for unvetted migrants from all over the world is unfair to surrounding communities and the taxpayers who are being forced to foot the bill while our Mayor bankrupts our city and slashes services from our citizens,” Malliotakis said in a statement.
The historic, federally-owned airfield was used by the U.S. Coast Guard and Navy during World War II. Before then, the airfield was also used as New York City’s first municipal airport and has had famous guests visit it in prior decades, including Howard Hughes and Howdy Doody.

NIMBY Dems?
“Migrant camps” on Federal lands? Sounds like another name for “Internment camps”. Leave it to the Dems...
Since when do Democrats love this country?

Howdy Doody will be pissed!
I think it's intended to be far more sinister than that. So, I'll weave a conspiracy theory. Bill Gates has announced his intent to cut down 70 million acres of trees, and then bury them to combat climate change. You read that right, 70 MILLION acres of trees. But just suppose a lot of those trees don't get buried. Suppose he funnels the lumber to the Feds, and they use the wood to build housing for illegal aliens on Federal land. (Just YOU attempt to establish a house on Federal Land and see how far you get!) And then suppose the government recognizes this housing as "cities" and allows them to incorporate. Voila! 50 million Democrat voters living on Federal property.
Illegals are treated WAY better than citizens.
The laws of this country do not apply to them.
This is absolutely infuriating.
Got to train them before you turn them loose on us.
Don Davis is a surprise.
Malliotakis needs to learn that every bill has to be named by an acronym, though I can’t think of one right now in the middle of my work shift...
Maybe they could be called “Bidenville.”
Worked for Hoover...
I wonder if the state media will cover this?
Um, tress are carbon sinks. This should not make sense even to members of the Climate Cult.
The whole plan is absurd!
Yep.
I doubt it.
She is right, of course, but a little late to the game. The twenty million who have flooded in from Mexico in the past couple decades is unfair to the entire USA.
Better late than never that a few Dems FINALLY speak up for and stand up for AMERICANS.
Of course, Brandon doesn't give two sh!ts for Americans.
Whew, that was close.
Heck, the illegals have already taken over the state parks in Texas.
Obama’s not worried. He’ll just do it anyways.
6? PATHETIC!
