The hubris here is actually quite stunning. A group of Mayors from sanctuary cities are requesting that all taxpayers in the USA support them as they try to cope with the impact of mass illegal alien arrivals. They created themselves as “sanctuary cities” for illegals, now they want everyone to pay for it.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The mayors of Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles and New York are pressing to meet with President Joe Biden about getting federal help in managing the surge of migrants they say are arriving in their cities with little to no coordination, support or resources from his administration.
The Democratic leaders say in a letter obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday that while they appreciate Biden’s efforts so far, much more needs to be done to ease the burden on their cities.
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. (read more)
How about, NO!
This $5 BILLION would have built President Trump’s wall.
But Pelosi said it was too expensive.
Just a little reminder why we didn’t get that wall when we controlled Congress and the executive.
“President Trump said then-Speaker Paul Ryan promised to get him the wall funding but didn’t. It was when the president signed the $1.3 trillion omnibus last March. Trump wanted to veto it but decided to sign it because of the increased military funding and because Ryan told him, “we’ll get you the wall” (via Daily Caller) [emphasis mine]:”
“And then he went lame duck. And once he went lame duck it was just really an exercise in waving to people and the power was gone, so I was very disappointed. I was very disappointed in Paul because the wall was so desperately needed. And it is. And I’ll get the wall.”

Yes and probably a double wall at that.
Which is just a rounding error in the Spemdagon’s yearly budget.
is anyone refusing them?
Yes, Joliet, IL sent back a grant from the feds….procedural error and stepped on toes of ‘township’…..and the people spoke out.
Wow!! They’re in Will County. Maybe they don’t want to be quite the shit show Shicago is.
JB can afford it. If he wants to house refugees, he can put his Hyatts where his mouth is. Just don’t expect the rest of us to subsidize it
The UN Building has 470,000 square feet. Just putting that out there.
Yep we know emet, but that is the penthouse prison for all the marxist, socialist, communist leaders who have inhabited the sh!7 infested place.
It will be their final resting place, that the will leave feet first from, God willing!
There is a LOT of square feet of water space throughout the planet as well.
How about sending everybody home?
Excellent idea
Look at the square footage of the Supreme Court, White House, Capitol Building, Treasury department, FBI, Justice, Federal Court Districts, Pentagon, and etc. They want em, let them have em!
How about every government employee (especially congress critters) and government contractor take them into their homes and provide food, clothing, medical, shelter and all expenses out of their own pockets instead of We The People that don’t want them here!
One problem: The money that is in their pockets came from us.
That’s 470,000 square feet of productive office space after the US is out of the UN and the UN is out of the US.
funny how there are no search results for true meaning of Manufactured Crisis
Just go to Wikipedia and look up Democrat. The answer is in there somewhere.
Nice one!
Gosh darn it, you’d think that there would be a definition for probably the last thing that is actually manufactured here in the use to be–good old manufacturing powerhouse USA!
Eff every single one of them for overriding the law and forcing the rest of us to pay for the malfeasance. They’re all criminals.
Speaker Johnson will immediately authorize the funding to bailout Democrat sanctuary cities. After all it’s the Christian thing to do !
Don’t know about him yet, but if he funds the sanctuary cities, it will be a good indicator that he’s a RINO.
Why did 100% of the GOP assholes vote for him???
Answer: Because he’s a RINO.
I think because they were threatened with exposure.
Because their vote was was not secret.
No secret ballots.
“If you have to ask,..you can’t afford it.”
If you have to look for evidence, your still in denial that you have been CONNED.
I would laugh if it wasn’t so tragic.
No he wont
None of these sheethole cities deserve one dime of federal taxpayer money. They wanted to oppose PDT by declaring themselves sanctuary cities, live with the results. That they do deserve.
And the money won’t change a damn thing. It will disappear into the dem vote bribe/cheating machine.
Will buy many $30,000 blue tarps
Exactly
Saw today there are 2 large caravans making their way to arrive soon. Just in time to celebrate the holidays with us…Get the turkey ready…
I recall the insane publicity regarding the first few “caravans” a few years back, numbering approx 5000.
But now, with counts of 250-300K MONTHLY (merely the ADMITTED number), is anyone even concerned anymore about a measly 5000?
If this is news, there must be an unspoken reason.
Plenty of time for the border states to sell no limit hunting tags for anything crossing into their states illegally
add this to the list that Johnson must hold the line on. ZERO DOLLARS for these bastards until the wall is fully completed.
I was waiting for this for about the past year.
Made your bed, sleep in it.
The gall. Invite the circus in and then demand the neighbors pay for upkeep.
Aren’t we already paying for them with our taxes, tremendous food prices, lack of jobs? They’ve already put the homeless out side with no place to sleep, our veterans are treated lower than the animals. The only thing we’ve not had to give up is our homes, unless you consider the many that is being foreclosed and probably given to them.
Don’t give these bastards any ideas.
They’re doing exactly that in Germany.
The easiest way to solve this is to give them money to help deport everyone. Seems like it would be a lot cheaper. Lock down the hotel were they are staying in the early morning and have buses there waiting to take them to the airport when they wake up. Just tell them you are going to take them to a safer place where they actually lock up criminals.
The problem with you suggestion is it is predicated on they (the Dem mayors) taking responsibility for solving their problem. Genetically they are simply NOT wired for that. (Never mind that their Dem cousins created their problem in the first place; admitting that is another incomprehensible matter.)
Yes, I understand that. If you read the last sentence that should indicate a measure of sarcasm.
Funny how they bypassed their state legislatures and went right to big Daddy Biden with their hats in their hands.
Those mayors need to take care of the problem(s) that they and their ilk have /are created.
-Take them to your homes, Mayors!!!
– Fill up your own yards and foyers,
you fake bleeding heart mindless a$$ wholes.
And another thing:
-You feed them, Mayors!
Ha ha, Congress controls the purse strings. Oh wait…
Admin will be writing them checks for the sanctuaries probably the plan all along to funnel more money to their “causes” i was waiiting for the ask
NO
F, NO!
Or, no F’ing way.
They already owe me for the exodus of their prior citizens into my state.
F*** k them all I hope they go broke…Rotten shitholes anyway prefect Democrat varmints.
So when are we going to go the route of India and start bulldozing shelters and re-immigrate all the illegals in this country?
“How about, NO!”
What? Do you really want the USA to survive? Shame on you.

The real cause of polio was lead arsenate & DDT poisoning.
Polio was eradicated due to the ban of these toxic pesticides, NOT because of the vaccine.
There is no such thing as a polio virus.
Andrea! (or Treavor??) Whatcha doin’, girl?
Bombshell information there–too bad it doesn’t have its own thread.
Or wasn’t posted on the open thread.
To all you poc mayors. Each of you decided that your cities would become sanctuary cities, not anyone else. Now you’re begging for taxpayers to bail you out, FU.
The
hubrisignorancehereof these clowns is actually quite stunning.no, its HUBRIS. ignorance excuses them as if they didn’t understand.
they understand just fine what the consequences of their actions are.
Looks like no money for pension fund bailout, already in the rears, FJB an Bidenomics is sucking all funding dry, the next big bubble is democrat cities going under.
These so-called leaders asked for this, and their voters literally voted for it. Let the commies pay for it. Commies always rely on other people’s money…until it runs out.
It’s exactly what they or their predecessors did during the pandemic. They destroyed their cities’ economy through the lockdowns and then demanded a bailout.
They got it.
Now they are facilitating an invasion by people with no appreciable skills, no families, no jobs, and no money while also choosing to experiment with no bail release or just outright refusing to make arrests in the first place. The crime tsunami is driving out both businesses and private citizens, degrading a tax base which never recovered from the lockdowns.
Illegal immigration is the Blue City Booster Shot.
No such thing as a Red City anymore.
“They got it.”
And they let the fraudsters steal it. $35+ Billion in CA.
Notice the black, elected as a Democrat mayor of big city Dallas, Texas is not in this chorus, begging for Fed $.
Thats because he recently announced he is changing parties, and in his announcement encouraged these bozos to do likewise, clearly ennunciating how Dem Party policies are destroying these big cities.
The slogan for the 2024 election should be;
“Its the POLICIES, Stupid!”
It does NOT matter at all, that Joe is “the disposable, one term POTIS” ANY D who is slotted in to replace him, is inherently tied to the POLICIES, and the consequences OF the policies his admin has pursued.
Those policies ARE the policies of the D party, and it is those policies and their consequences that have Joe’s #’s in the toilet.
And that MUST trickle down to “downticket” races,..inevitably.
It was their policy to have an open border. No money is spent on enforcing the border. It is only spent to facilitate the invasion.
It was their policy to offer sanctuary to those here illegally. No money is spent protecting citizens. It is only spent to facilitate the invasion.
There is no reason to think $5billion will do anything except create the need for the next $5 billion and the next million invaders. This can’t end well. It destroys the citizens here and will lead to unrest at best as middle-class America is turned into an international slum.
NO! NO! NO!
Yes!! Everyone focuses on Biden and his administration but it is all of the democrats and they are supported, aided and abetted by republicans.
I think all MAGA and conservative candidates and elected officials need to hammer home the failure and destruction of “democrat” policies as a way to mitigate the bad branding associated with the name “republican.” As an aside, the brand name “republican” automatically causes the minds of many to shut down. IMO the only thing that may open those minds a crack is to color the entire democrat platform and party as dangerous to members of all groups, except the marxist followers.
F them.
This will determine what our new speaker is made of .
They have to go back. Every last one.
They don’t want to seal the border. They want more money to get them into the country faster.
The citizens of these cities want the illegals gone.
Which is exactly why those citizens of those cities that voted Democrat must feel the pain of their poor decisions.
NO federal $$$ to Sanctuary Cities.
Looks like the FBI is gonna be knocking on the doors of a few more Democrat mayors and their staff. Sooo many daring to stroll off the reservation. Can’t have that, now can you, Mister Mayorkas.
The overwhelming majority of American citizens DESPISE THIS INVASION so when you see polls that have Biden anywhere remotely close to Trump you know it’s complete BS .
You will also know it’s complete BS if democrats win elections in the future because in reality VERY VERY VERY FEW ARE INTENTIONALLY VOTING FOR THEM .
Weeks ago a poll showed collapsing support by blacks and hispanics, for Biden with the support going TO “Trump”.
Newer poll results show this as a trend that is increasing.
We can see those citisens left in these Blue cities, protesting the mass importation of these illegals, …those citisens are NOT saying they want their mayors to get more $ from uncle Sam, they are saying “Hell no, make them GO!”
They DO NOT WANT these illegals bedding down in their Schools, Community centers, police stations, etc.
They want them GONE.
Hell no
Eff them.
Add to the list the mayors of Kyiv and Tel Aviv!
Not NO! But F…NO!.
No way Jose! They made a decision to become sanctuary cities, suffer the consequences!
Their monkey
Their circus.
Stupidity has consequences.
It’s not hubris. It’s planning. Install Democrat mayors in major cities, create an environment of perpetual “crisis,” and then, funnel money from the nation’s tax cattle to “rescue” the cities.
How about hell no?
Looks like Gov. Inslee dropped the ball. Surprised that Seattle isn’t on that list.
THIS IS A REPLACEMENT FOR THE UKRAINE KICKBACK GRIFT, WITH DEMOCRAT SANCTUARY MAYORS REPLACING THE FADING ZELENSKY.
DC STEALS MOST OF THE AID MONEY AS THE LOOTING OF THE TREASURY CONTINUES WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT.
These mayors and leftist rabble have stones the size of Mount Everest.
Can you say, “hoisted by their own petards ?”
I would say that gleefully, except the human waste (in all its forms) will inevitably spill over into the rest of what used to be America.
“The hubris here is actually quite stunning. A group of Mayors from sanctuary cities are requesting that all taxpayers in the USA support them as they try to cope with the impact of mass illegal alien arrivals. “
As stunning as this hubris is, it’s nowhere near as stunning as that of the Pentagon, aka the Spendagon, that still wants $850 Billion per year and hasn’t stopped a nation invader / illegal alien for so long that God Himself probably can’t even remember when it was.
Virtue signaling always is a signal for YOUR pocketbook.
They said the invasion was a source of needed workers and cultural enrichment. It was a myth that they were anything less than saints, doctors and Horatio Algers. Those big blue cities are supposed to be prosperous utopias by now. Don’t come crying like junkies for a fix to tide you over.
“Sparks of divinity”, they are.
How about FU
Colorado is a SANCTUARY State. Denver is Governor Polis’ problem.
Yes, and even one big sanctuary city in a state infects the entire state with illegals. I’m north of Denver and Denver keeps shuttling illegals out to the suburbs.
I heard CO is printing flyers and distributing them at the border crossings telling illegals not to come to the state because there are no funds, no services for them. They should hand those out in NY too since they’re offering plane tickets to any destination to get the illegals out.
If they are going to hand out money….Texas should get it first.
WOW. Not one of these cities was worried about the cost of the open border until they had to pony up for designating their cities “sanctuaries”.
