DC Mayor Muriel Bowser requests National Guard help after busloads of migrants cause 'crisis'

[NYPOST] Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the National Guard step in to help handle the arrival of thousands of ~~migrants~~ colonists from the US-Mexico border, saying the nation’s capital has reached a "tipping point."

In a July 19 request for assistance to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Bowser reported that "over 4,000 individuals arriving on nearly 200 buses" have come to DC since April, when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott

... governor of Texas. Abbott is a Republican. His 2014 Dem opponent, state senatrix Wendy Davis, thought the absolute, most pressing, most important issue facing the state was abortion. Abbott beat the pantyhose off her. His 2018 opponent, Lupe Valdez didn't dwell too heavily on abortion, but she lost too...
and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey pledged to put ~~migrants~~ colonists on charter buses to protest the Biden administration’s immigration policies.

"Our collective response and service efforts have now become overwhelmed," Bowser wrote.

"[O]ur homeless services system is already under great strain; and tragically, many families arrive in Washington, DC with nowhere to go, or they remain in limbo seeking onward destinations across the United States.

"With pledges from Texas and Arizona to continue these abhorrent operations indefinitely, the situation is dire," the mayor added, "and we consider this a humanitarian crisis — one that could overwhelm our social support network without immediate and sustained federal intervention."

#2 It is, but you're just supposed to say that, not actually be one. Just like how you're supposed to care about the homeless but not actually allow people to fix the problem.

#3 Illegal aliens are a punishment.

This punishment was supposed to fall on Texas and Arizona for failing to vote for Democrats. But now they've turned the tables and are putting the hurt on DC instead? Unfair! Abhorrent operations! You're not supposed to punish us, we're supposed to punish YOU!

#4 I'm waiting for a Colombo type situation in the white house. Let's see them shoot their previous 'immigrants' then.

#7 Well, if you can't drain the swamp right now, at least we can turn it into East San Francisco.

#9 Dron, dunno your situation while you are posting these comments but if you have bluetooth on that Android device you can connect it to a full sized bluetooth keyboard. You could connect a bluetooth mouse to it as well. Just a tip from a fat fingered guy.
