REMEMBER THE US RACIAL BUSING STORY BACK IN THE 60s ?
THIS ONE IS MUCH BETTER 🙂
JEFF CHILDERS AGAIN
Conservative governors have been shipping illegal migrants to blue cities, and the tactic — intended to get media attention focused on the problem — appears to be working. This week, two faux sympathy stories broke all over corporate media about NYC and DC’s migratory woes.
NBC New York ran a story this week headlined, “Asylum Seekers Flooding NYC Shelters, Mayor Says, Calling on Feds for Help.” To big blue cities, apparently the federal government is like your parents, and you can always just move back in with them when you can’t afford your own rent.
Anyway, the article says on Tuesday, Mayor Eric Adams demanded the federal government help pay for a tsunami of asylum seekers flooding into the city, with busloads of people from border states straining the city’s “safety net.”
It’s the mandates, of course.
Among all the other mandates, New York City has a “right to shelter” mandate, meaning any homeless asylum seeker who comes to town, by any means, MUST be put in a bed somewhere.
Adams whined, “Currently, New York City is experiencing a marked increase in the number of asylum seekers who are arriving from Latin America and other regions. In some instances, families are arriving on buses sent by the Texas and Arizona governments, while in other cases, it appears that individuals are being sent by the federal government.” He said over 2,800 asylum seekers have recently entered the city’s shelter system.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Arizona Governor Doug Ducey denied Adams’ claim, admitting they were sending illegal migrants to DC but not to NYC. But Adams’ spokesman called the governors heartless cowards: “If they need financial help, they should ask for it instead of heartlessly sending asylum seekers on their way with a one-way ticket.”

At a White House press briefing, Biden’s diverse mouthpiece Karine Jean-Pierre said the administration reached out to both Mayor Adams and DC Mayor Bowser, and said the free bus rides were just “shameful.”

ABC’s Karen Travers asks Karine Jean-Pierre if the White House will be providing any relief to New York City and Washington D.C. because Texas is bussing so many illegal immigrants to these cities and dropping them off. KJP says this bussing of migrants is “shameful” behavior.

? As to the DC side of things, Trending Politics ran a story this week headlined, “DC Homeless Shelters Packed With Illegal Migrants Who Were ‘Tricked’ Onto Buses.” For her part, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser took her complaints directly to the nation on Sunday:

Don’t mess with Texas??????? Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has been busing illegal immigrants to the nation’s capital since May Mayor Bowser claims illegal immigrants crowding DC homeless shelters are asylum seekers ‘tricked’ onto buses #MorningJoe #FoxAndFriends
DC’s Mayor says Texas and Arizona are “tricking” illegal migrants into getting on buses to DC, and like Mayor Adams, Mayor Bowser wants the federal government to help her out.
The Washington Examiner put it pretty bluntly in an article this week headlined, “DC Democrats Beg for Help as Border States Bus Migrants to Biden’s Backyard.” The article reported over 150 buses from Arizona and Texas transported nearly 6,000 illegal migrants to the nation’s capital over the last three months.
The point of the busing was to force the corporate media to start covering the problem and to push Biden to answer questions about the border invasion.
I think the governors’ strategy of shipping illegal migrants to blue cities is working. Even some conservative critics are coming around to my way of thinking. Fox News host Pete Hegseth admitted yesterday “I’ve been wanting Greg Abbott to declare an invasion which gives constitutionally the state of Texas additional powers. And I downplayed what he was doing on busing illegals to D.C.; I think I was wrong on that.”
More buses!
Good moves!
