| Democrats Beg Joe Biden to Declare Emergency as Migrants Fill NYC Streets |
| 2023-08-01 |
| [Breitbart] More than 50 New York City Democrats are pleading with President Joe Biden to declare a “state of emergency” due to an “unprecedented” wave of illegal immigration to the sanctuary city as migrants flood the streets of Manhattan. As more than 90,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in New York City since the spring of last year, 54 Democrats have written Biden asking him to declare an emergency and provide the city with billions in federal funds to handle the influx. Likewise, rather than drastically cutting off illegal immigration at the southern border, the Democrats are begging Biden to quickly allow border crossers and illegal aliens to take American jobs. “Our City is at a breaking point,” the Democrats wrote. The plea from Democrats comes as New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) has started handing out fliers to border crossers and illegal aliens at the border warning them not to travel to the city, suggesting there is a lack of housing and resources. Late last week, border crossers and illegal aliens started sleeping on the streets of Manhattan after migrant hotels, contracted with Adams’ office to house new arrivals, began running out of space. Big Apple Boondoggle: Mayor Eric Adams Awards Millions to Medical Company to Bus Border Crossers Out of NYC [Breitbart] New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) has reportedly thrown hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars at a medical company, tasked previously with testing for COVID-19, to bus border crossers and illegal aliens out of the sanctuary city. Since the spring of last year, more than 90,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in New York City. Adams has long criticized Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) for busing migrants to the sanctuary city, but recent reports reveal he has started a nearly identical busing program. A report from the New York Times details how a medical company called DocGo was awarded more than $400 million in local taxpayer dollars by Adams’ office to bus border crossers and illegal aliens out of New York City to other towns in the state. The Times reports: More than 1,500 migrants have been sent to places as far as Buffalo, with more on the way. But many of the migrants have been greeted by protests at their new homes, as well as mistreatment and the false hope of jobs. [Emphasis added] According to the Times, border crossers and illegal aliens have been subjected to threats of violence, lies, and false senses of hope under Adams’ busing program. In one instance caught on video, a security guard can be heard threatening a male migrant for talking to the media. |

| #6 This is why ballot harvesting is so important. These individuals are only reliable voters if someone else casts their ballot. |

| #5 Kind of hard to declare an emergency when it is wholly of your making. |

| #3 You get more of what you subsidize. Um, lessee. Free needles. Consequence free shoplifting and street crime. They are not subsidizing the creation of more Boy Scouts. |

#2  The tidal wave influx is based on the wealth of benefits NYC gives illegals from places where they lived in deep poverty. Asking the Feds to intervene with more money, thus expanding the reason the problem has been created, requires a level of stupidity rarely seen. Asking the Administration to close the border, and deport the illegals, that would make sense |
