Did Democrat Mayors Eric Adams and Muriel Bowser not know there was a record-breaking crisis on our southern border? What do they think border-state mayors (who have far fewer resources) have been dealing with for OVER A YEAR.
- Carrizo Springs, Texas Mayor Oscar Puente said they’re “not prepared” for the surge in illegal immigrants Biden is releasing into the city.
- Gila Bend, Arizona Mayor Chris Riggs: “We do not have the resources to handle all these people being dropped in on us...we need help…I don’t really hear from any of the administration.”
- Democrat Laredo, Texas Mayor Pete Saenz: “Border Patrol is overwhelmed…they’re bussing migrants to our city....we can’t handle it here.”
- Saenz: “It’s just getting worse. Does [Biden] want the border to exist?”
- Saenz: “We need to truly secure the border. It was working under Trump, call it whatever you want to call it, but it was working.”
- Del Rio, Texas Mayor Bruno Lozano: “It’s a Biden border crisis.”
- Lozano: “We had illegals attempting to traverse the perimeter fence at one of the local schools...Can you imagine the trauma that they’re experiencing being on lockdown for illegal immigrants coming in and trying to get into their fence line?”
- Lozano: The border is “wide open for unlawful entry.”
- Uvalde, Texas Mayor Don McLaughlin: “We’re not equipped to handle” the crisis.
- McAllen, Texas Mayor Javier Villalobos: “We cannot be doing a federal job.” Biden is showing “callous disregard” for the border crisis.
- Villalobos: COVID-positive illegal immigrants “get picked up and they’re going out and we have no authority to stop it.”
And the audacity for the Biden administration to express indignation at the governors of Texas and Arizona. In fact, White House officials have conceded that their biggest concern isn’t the reality of the border crisis, but the “optics” of Democrats complaining about it.
This New Yorker may have put it best: “Joe Biden should get up off his ass and do something about it.” But he won’t, and it’s a complete dereliction of duty.
