Democrat mayor Lori Lightfoot buses immigrants.

Everett WA

Description

The Biden administration continues to demonstrate complete disregard for the issues facing the southern border. Because Joe Biden removed immigration policies that former President Trump set in place, the border is now a free-for-all where migrants come in at will. Some are captured by the authorities, but many others are successful at getting into the country. As a result of the federal government’s refusal to act, border states are taking their own measures to avoid being completely swamped. A key measure involves sending migrants to sanctuary cities, such as Washington DC, New York City, and Chicago. In Chicago, Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) openly claimed she’s more than happy to take in migrants from Texas and Arizona. However, her actions after these migrants actually arrived in Chicago tell a very different story. Before the Cameras vs. Behind the Scenes It wasn’t too long ago that Lightfoot proudly told the press Chicago is a sanctuary city that welcomes all people. Lightfoot even took shots at Texas, saying she’s pleased to welcome migrants into her community, seeing as she wouldn’t want to live in a state with a leader like Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R). However, once the cameras stopped rolling, the Chicago mayor had migrants who arrived from Texas transported to a hotel in Burr Ridge, Illinois. To add insult to injury, Lightfoot didn’t even bother to alert Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso (R) of the migrants heading to his city. Lightfoot’s transfer of migrants from Chicago to Burr Ridge is ironic, seeing as she slammed Abbott for sending migrants to Chicago without getting her blessing. The Moral of the Story Abbott’s decision to dispatch migrants to sanctuary cities has exposed the truth about the leaders of these communities. It’s easy for Lightfoot and others to say their cities are welcoming to all people when they don’t have to actually execute this rhetoric into action. Likewise, turning a blind eye to the dangers of illegal immigration isn’t an issue for Democrats, until the consequences arrive on their own doorsteps. So if busloads of illegal immigrants showed up in Seattle would they suddenly be shipped off to Spokane, WA? I would not be surprised since Spokane is not a sanctuary city and the mayor is a republican.
