Amid a recent uptick in asylum-seekers from the southern border arriving in Chicago, New York and Denver, the mayors of the three cities Wednesday renewed their collective call for the federal government to step up resources as the cities near a “breaking point” in coping with the crisis.
In a first-time joint appearance, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston repeated a set of requests all three have been making for months. They asked the U.S. government to boost funding to cities and states receiving newcomers and to expedite their permits. They said border states needed to increase communication with receiving cities and called for a “coordinated entry system” among destination municipalities and states.
The repeated requests from the mayors, directed in part at President Joe Biden, a fellow Democrat, have so far been met with minimal success. But the mayors re-upped their request as 2023 was coming to a close and the number of migrants arriving in the three cities has increased in recent weeks, so much so that Johnson said Chicago is once again near capacity.

Not a surprise. Let's see if the Dems in DC even care.
The best way to get rid of bad policy is to strictly enforce it.
Shirley you jest. It’s the Feds’ job to create the crisis, not fix it.
All the money in the world cannot create housing and produce food out of thin air.
The Fed is going to make everyone pay for the illegals, whether they are sanctuary states/cities or not.
They made their bed
This has been the end game from the beginning.
But they don’t and they won’t
Mayors make bad decisions regarding INVADERS. BAD elected representatives.
We've run out of weapons and we are printing money to pretend we are still solvent, but one thing we have too much of is illegals. Send Zelensky our best wishes.
The money being printed is being given in $billion dollar packages to the United Auto Workers and other worthless failing groups.
That money wasted through pure graft at home is more of a threat to America than the money invested in Ukraine

No. The voters who want the illegals here should pay for them.
Squeaky, little, voices, “hep us! hep us!” I can barely hear them while I’m playing my little, tiny violin.
I don’t see a problem with this, they voted for it didn’t they?
The DNC, NOT THE FEDS, needs to be helping their sanctuary dumps with this problem. The members of the Dung Beetle Party are the ones importing this crap to expand their voter rolls.
But these Bass-holes didn’t give one flying F about how the border states and towns struggled for the last 20 years under the load of illegal immigration. Back then it was cool and they were ever so compassionate in the eyes of the liberal press.
If you want more of something, fund it. Once the Uncle Sugar money starts flowing, it will be a magnet for the invaders.
At the very top of the list for federal help must be Close the Border, followed by Deport All Illegal Aliens. Is that the case here?
