It’s only a humanitarian crisis when Democrats say it is
Ah, the hypocrisy! Liberal sanctuary cities aren’t feeling so tolerant and accepting anymore as the influx of migrants being bused from Texas and Arizona are bringing the border crisis to their doors.
Is this what precipitated the filling in of border wall gaps when Biden swore in his campaign pledge to never build another foot of border wall. Of course they are claiming they are just ‘cleaning up Trump’s mess. Biden is back, eh?

Washington D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the district's National Guard to help handle the crisis. Just 4,000 migrants have caused a “humanitarian crisis” and pushed the city to its “tipping point.” It took just 2,800 migrants for New York City Mayor Eric Adams to complain that the city’s resources were being strained. While border towns in Texas and Arizona are watching millions of migrants cross the border, big liberal cities are being brought to their knees by just a few thousand.
But isn’t this exactly what these cities and their Democratic mayors have asked for? Adams lashed out at the "callousness" of Texas and Arizona for sending migrants to the Big Apple, but Adams has proudly supported New York’s sanctuary status. He seems very upset that migrants are willingly boarding buses to go to his sanctuary city. Are they no longer welcome there?
When I first heard of this plan to bus migrants to liberal cities, I thought it was nothing more than a silly stunt. But Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey have managed to expose the shamelessness of liberal sanctuary cities in just a few months. That was not even the stated goal of the effort, as Abbott said that he wanted to “take the border to President Biden.” That effort has apparently succeeded as well, as Biden on Thursday authorized the completion of former President Donald Trump’s border wall at open gaps near Yuma, Arizona, which the Associated Press says is the third-busiest border crossing.
If just a few months of this can cause New York and Washington to raise the alarm, how do Democrats expect smaller border towns to shoulder this burden for years? Maybe now Democrats can put aside their moral preening and agree that illegal immigration is an issue that must be addressed. If not, perhaps a few other sanctuary cities would be more welcoming. Might I recommend Los Angeles and San Francisco?
