Adams admits the migrant crisis is ‘unsustainable’ — when will other Dems recognize reality and do something?

In January 2017, signs appeared throughout yuppie Brooklyn. In the windows of cafés and shops, a man with pleading eyes and a baby in his coat stared at us with the words “Refugees welcome here.”

What did it mean? That refugees could also come and buy the $7 lattes that the brownstone set were buying? Like most people who put signs in windows, the Brooklynites didn’t actually mean it. Refugees were welcome here because it was a poke in the eye to Trump, who wanted to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it, not because refugees could actually be welcomed here.

It was all theoretical. People who had no contact whatsoever with the migrant problem at the border wanted everyone to know that they cared. So much. They’re full of caring. And you, person without such a sign in your window, you care far less. That the border towns had done a lot, for years, to help incoming migrants went unmentioned.

Then Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis implemented policies to deliver the migrants to the doors of the establishments with the welcome signs — and suddenly the welcome mat was yanked away.

DeSantis and Abbott didn’t move migrants to sanctuary cities to be cruel. They didn’t do it because they hate immigrants. It wasn’t to cause an emergency. The emergency was already happening.

They did it to force the conversations that Democrats would rather not have. What do we do with the people arriving en masse? Your sign in the window? Prove it.

Yes, the same upper middle class people who put the virtue signaling lawn signs in their suburban yards like "Black Lives Matter", "Hate Has No Home Here" and "Refugees Welcome Here" actually mean the exact opposite.

Let's consider the lawn sign and their most likely reaction to the following:

Black Lives Matter = They will immediately call 911 if they see a black man in a hoodie walking through their neighborhood that does not have a leaf blower or lawn mower with him.

Hate Has No Home Here = Knock on their door and tell them you are canvassing for the Trump campaign and they scream and yell at you in the most hateful manner.

Refugees Welcome Here = Setup a tent on the sidewalk out front and they will immediately call the police on you and have you removed.

I live near a very woke blue town in a red state. So lots of signs. I’ve noticed that the BLM and no room for hate here signs have started disappearing.
