To be fair, maybe Gonzalez-Rojas wanted to reply, but a migrant stole her computer.

Tensions between lawmakers over how to handle the city’s migrant crisis are boiling over — with one Queens socialist volunteering her district as a location for new migrant shelters.
More than 100,000 migrants have arrived in the Big Apple since April 2022 — with 10,000 more arriving every month.
Jessica González-Rojas, whose north-central district snakes through Ditmars all the way to Jackson Heights — made the offer on August 24 in a contentious Zoom call organized by the mayor’s office to coordinate migrant efforts between city and state lawmakers.
Tensions flared over the issue of capacity with moderate and conservative lawmakers reiterating that the city’s longstanding “right to shelter” policy was unsustainable in the face of a limitless migrant influx.
“You can take all the new shelters then,” Staten Island Republican councilman David Carr snapped in a group chat Zoom text obtained by The Post.
“I’d be happy to,” González-Rojas shot back.
“Glad to hear it AM Gonzalez-Rojas,” Carr said — adding that he would be following up with Tiffany Raspberry, director of intergovernmental and external affairs for Mayor Adams to discuss the best way to move forward with the offer.
Gonzalez-Rojas, however, went radio silent.

LOL...all these feel-good, virtue-signaling leftist policies are fine as long as they don't have to actually do anything or put them in action. As soon as they have to put money where their mouths are, they collapse like a house of cards.
Always. Every single time.
There's no hypocrite like a leftist / Democrat / Socialist hypocrite.
I think I caught her act a long time ago at the Rialto in Chicago. Maybe it was somebody else with the same name. Catchy headline on the marquee.

of course she does...she’ll get far more Federal Money for her district. Local government has degenerated into just making the biggest mess you can and then running to DC for a Federal check. She is the Federal agent for that process.
What is most unsustainable is the "our virtue signaling at somebody else's cost" that typifies progressive policy-making. It's taken a while for the vultures to come home to roost but guess what? They're here!
Car 54, where are you?
Sanctuary cities; “We welcome migrants, just not here.”
This is the problem with politicians. They think they own their districts instead of representing them.
I wonder if all those new migrants will vote for González-Rojas......
