Mayors Brandon Johnson and Eric Adams play the blame game when it comes to the ongoing migrant crisis.

It’s easier to complain about a problem rather than work towards an active solution.

Imagine how much crime would have been prevented if President Joe Biden just knuckled down and worked with Congress on a budget plan that would give them the funds for proper mental health care and necessary gear to do their job. But nope, let’s keep pointing those fingers.

It seems to be a common issue these days -- especially when it comes to the ongoing migrant crisis.

In a recent interview with Fox News, Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson -- a Democrat -- took the time to complain about Texas governor Greg Abbott shipping migrants to his state.

He noted how this “puts a tremendous burden on (Johnson) and other Democrat mayors, I might add, many Black mayors have been the focal of this.”

So… let’s put this into perspective. Johnson, instead of actually taking responsibility and doing his part in an effort to slow down this migrant crisis, actually took to the airwaves and made this about… race?

This isn’t a race thing. Never was. This is a matter of trying to resolve what’s happening with ongoing migrants coming into our country. But rather than make an effort to make your city safe, you go on television and insist that the governor of another state – across the country, might I add -- is the problem.

Republicans in Florida and Texas have been dealing with it for the longest time. It’s not a matter of sending them to other states out of spite. It’s to show just how bad the problem has gotten. It is everyone’s problem in the United States.

This comes on the heels of New York City mayor Eric Adams proceeding to charge 17 charter bus companies for transporting migrants from Texas, in a lawsuit valued at $700 million.

That’s a tone-deaf move as well. Again, it shows zero effort in resolving the migrant crisis, and instead puts Adams into the same position as Johnson -- spending more time complaining instead of knuckling down.

Mayor Johnson, why are you only picking on the disabled governor and not the able bodied ones? There are anti discrimination laws against that. I think the good governor from Texas should sue the city of Chicago for $800 million for the civil rights violation.

As usual, the Democratic mayors fail to put the blame where it most belongs - Joe Biden.

Chicago and NYC are being destroyed at an alarming rate. What do these two mayors and many of Soros funded elected officials have in common?

A solution to the housing crisis would be for the Federal Government, as a condition of financial support, to require colleges and university to provide 10% of their dorms to illegal immigrants and allow illegal immigrants to eat at the restaurants.

We need to sent Brandon Johnson and Eric Adams an additional 30,000 each - then they’ll be ready to join with us to send a new batch of 50 to Martha’s Vineyard... that’ll get Biden’s attention.

I am wondering where the jobs are for all of these people. Will they take the jobs of the employed poor driving down their wages... the same poor who voted for Biden.

There are not enough jobs. The right kind of jobs... jobs for non English speaking, minimally educated.

Fools.

Oh, yeah, discriminating against the disabled is a biggie.
Johnson’s heaping hatred on disabled Gov Abbott, who cant defend himself.

There are very strong anti-discrimination laws against that.

Abbott should sue the city of Chicago for infringing on his civil
rights ........and ask for millions............for emotional distress.

Abbot is just sending them to Sanctuary Cities and States that are offering benefits to them. When that fat B*stard Pritzker complains how much Abbott has inconvenienced him, hopefully, someone will ask him how many billions Texas has paid already to accommodate the illegal’s preferred destination.

“ We need to find out where the Obamas are hiding and send thousands to them.”

They have a home in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago but they don’t spend any time there. There is, however, a large contingent of Secret Service agents keeping an eye on the place.

So I suggest about 10 busloads dropped off just outside the “circle of protection” at about 0200.

Let the fun begin.
