There is a huge difference between true caring and indignant self-righteousness, a fact that the mayors of many sanctuary cities are now learning. It’s one thing to climb up on your soap box and declare that immigration makes communities stronger when you have no idea what you’re talking about. The truth is that these cities never had any intention of being sanctuaries for anyone. They never dreamed that the overflow would reach them. So they smugly smirked and ridiculed the governors and mayors of border cities and states, dismissing the immigration mess and open borders as someone else’s problem.
Now their holier-than-thou attitudes have dissipated into whining. Their smugness has been replaced with poor me syndrome, as they begin to understand the full weight of the issue.
Two shining examples of rhetoric over reality are, of course, New York and Chicago.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams trumpeted the fact that NYC would welcome and shelter immigrants. That was until both Texas and Florida began to send buses and planeloads of illegal aliens to his city. Soon — within weeks, actually — Adams was bemoaning his city’s fate. He went crying to the White House for financial help and threatened legal action against non-sanctuary cities if they wouldn’t help him by accepting some of the city’s overflow.
At a recent town hall, Adams was singing an entirely different tune while proving he was still a liberal by blaming everyone else. He whined that the raging migrant crisis would destroy New York City and even criticized Biden for ignoring his pleas for financial help. He accused Biden of providing no support for the thousands of asylum seekers arriving every month.

Read somewhere “you reap what you sow” but I can’t remember where....
Oh No! and I was just starting to enjoy the show.
Whining shows we are winning. Time to ramp up the bus loads and plane loads from Texas and Florida!
But the democrats will still bring in 12 million illegals under Biden to take over the country.
Self inflicted. Hence, I have NO sympathy for them at all.
“The Bluster and Demise of Sanctuary Cities”
Some of you non-Operatives* might remember when Malibu stated that they were something like “A Sanctuary for the Homeless” (I think the mayor may have been Martin Sheen at the time). Picking up on that proclamation immediately, Rush started to organize a bus to pick up the Homeless in downtown LA and bus them to Malibu. The people of Malibu were in ABSOLUTE PANIC at the thought of being flooded with the Homeless, and got their City Council to drop the proclamation. In the end, it didn’t happen, but Rush was quite far along with it as he said the plan to was to pick them up, given them a nice lunch, and then take them back, if they wanted to go back.
*Operatives here hate Trump, and by extension hate Rush and hate us - whatever they were doing 30 years ago, it sure as hell was not listening to Rush.
Well, there is also Lincoln’s adage that the best way to get rid of a bad law is to strictly enforce it.
Hoisted on their own petard.
Open wide and bend over, shitlibs.
Ram another 50,000 each down their throats.
Busses should be arriving ten times a day in NYC, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Martha’s Vineyard, and every Blue State capital right in front of the State Houses and Governors mansions.
Make them choke on their phony “compassion”.

Hi, Joe.
Yep, BOHICA.
I’d like to see thousands more sent to Martha’s Vinyard if they absolutely must come into the country.
I’m enjoying the show - it’s always fun to see libtards square off against each other.
The update on that is, “play stupid games, win stupid prizes”.
