Democratic mayors of five of the biggest cities in the US demand meeting with Biden to deal with the migrant crisis: Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles and New York say White House has given them no help with the surge in arrivals

The Democratic mayors of Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles and New York say they are ready to travel to meet President Joe Biden next week as they press for $5 billion in funding to help cope with the surge in migrants arriving in their cities.

In a letter released Wednesday, they say they are having to get by with little help from his administration.

Such is the urgency, that they are proposing to travel to Washington, D.C., for a crisis meeting within days.

In the meantime, migrants are sleeping in police station foyers in Chicago. In New York, a cruise ship terminal was turned into a shelter.

In Denver, the number of migrants arriving has increased tenfold and available space to shelter them has withered.

With fewer available work authorizations, these migrants cannot find work that would allow them to get into proper housing.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, who is leading the coalition, told the Associated Press that nearly every conversation he has had with arriving migrants is the same: Can he help them find a job?

'The crisis is we have folks here who desperately want to work. And we have employers here who desperately want to hire them. And we have a federal government that's standing in the way of employers who want to hire employees who want to work,' Johnston said.

Also signing on were the mayors of the country's four largest cities: Eric Adams of New York, Karen Bass of Los Angeles, Brandon Johnson of Chicago and Sylvester Turner of Houston.

The situation at the U.S.-Mexico border has vexed the Democratic president, who is seeking reelection in 2024.

He is increasingly under fire from members of his own party who are managing the growing number of migrants in their cities. Republicans claim Biden is soft...

The border is secure. Horizontal, the border czarette, says illegals are arriving because of an 'extreme climate'. RATS better get their story straight.

Don’t they know, Joe Biden only takes questions from his approved list, they’re not on it.

Sanctuary City. I just like to let that phrase roll around in my mouth as I savor the delicious Schadenfreude of it all. You send out invitations and complain about the party getting out of control.

Of course, while the 'migrants' are invading these woke cities, they are also invading my country. So, one has to temper their glee.

I’m sure Biden has the answer all those crap hole city mayors are all looking for. Round up the immigrants and send them back to Texas.

Just tell the protestors there are a bunch of Israelis coming over the border. The zombies will hit it in force.

No help?

They were determined to subvert this country by flouting the law and declaring those cities "sanctuary cities".

Let the mayors open up their own homes and cars to the invaders they welcomed in.

That would be my first question:

"We need help with our 'migrant crisis'."

"Oh really? How many illegal alien invaders are you supporting in your own home? How much money do you have for airfare to send them back where they came from? Have your district attorneys rounded them up and arrested them?

Immigrants from Texas?

You might want to review and correct that.

Why look to the Federal Government, who is already swimming in red ink. Why don't these cities open GoFundMe pleas, so the bleeding hearts can donate to the welfare of the illegals. Bleeding hearts want ‘em, bleeding hearts should kick in. All of them.

The mayors won’t ask Joe for silly things like stopping the inflow of migrants, or letting the migrants have JOBS. Oh no, they want the US to pony up Billion$ in borrowed funds for the newcomers’ welfare needs.

Sure they do.

These are all "sanctuary cities" so what's the problem?

Well, I guess Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles and New York know who their friends are, now.

I love the smell of Rats eating one another in the morning.

We need every mayor in Texas to demand to be able to attend.

They can demand the meeting; but if they can’t outbid the foreign governments and other bad actors that already own Joe then nothing will come of it. Joe has to make a living after all.
