When a wave of migrants began arriving in Democratic-run cities far from the Southern border two years ago, officials welcomed them with open arms. Now they’re limiting aid to new arrivals as their instinct for compassion confronts hard budgetary realities.
In recent days, New York and Chicago — two of the nation’s largest cities — have instituted substantial changes to their shelter policies. In Chicago, the city began evicting migrants who had overstayed a new 60-day time limit, saying it did not have the resources to meet the need.
In New York, migrants had benefited from the city’s right to shelter, which guarantees emergency housing for as long as anyone needs it.
Last Friday, those rules were significantly altered for migrants without children, the culmination of a months-long struggle by the city to curtail its legal obligations to new arrivals as their number surpassed 180,000 and the cost of shelter soared.
Similar dynamics are unfolding elsewhere: In Denver, officials began closing some migrant shelters in recent weeks and reinstated time limits for stays. In Massachusetts, which has also seen an influx of migrants, the legislature is moving toward instituting a cap on how long people can stay in shelters.

The illegals migrate from place to place sucking everything dry , Leeches
Rolling back aid? Pure, unadulterated, beastly racism on their part!
IF true: “only the federal government can create or enforce immigration law”
Then it follows, that U.S. “Sanctuary Cities” are un-Constitutional.
And other considerations.
they are nothing but thieves
“Migrants”
For us all—
Dear FRiends, Our fundraiser is way behind. Chris-
Let us finish this.
Reap what you sow!
Compassion -BS
More like grifting
Politicians steered billions of taxpayer dollars to cronies on the pretext of refugee support
Now they have run out of money to grift
you can have open borders, or you can have welfare, but not both...
Democratic cities that welcomed migrants are starting to roll back aid
C’mon man! Where is your humanity? These poor beleaguered people were led to believe in your unbridled charity....
How can you stop now that we have arrived in your beloved city, which you declared in Broad Strokes and Vivid colors to be a welcoming sanctuary?
Not a problem so long as "Joey B" has U.S. taxpayers and reliable printing presses.
The anti-MAGA's plan to "remake" America requires it first be dismantled, perhaps through elections, corruption of its institutions, or by chaos if necessary.
Now we got people thinking!
You, Sir, are absolutely correct!
Time to sue... A little lawfare perhaps???
you eventually run out of housing...
Give the illegals guns, like the judge said was perfectly acceptable, and then let the illegals determine if they want to put up with the mayors of these cities saying they need to leave.
Is there a charity we can send money to, to do this?
If they call them ‘Illegls’ then they won’t qualify for all the freebees....drivers licences...guns etc.
Like all rats, they won’t go away and multiply like rats.
