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!
If I remember correctly these cities were getting federal funding for years because they were designated sanctuary cities. Now that they actually have to spend those funds to care for illegal immigrants they want more ? ……………… Not only no but HELL NO. You got what you asked for, you reap what you sow, go kick rocks !!!
Play stupid games…
Very well put!
All across the board.
Hopefully they wind up reaping what they sow.
Hopefully? So far they have been sowing and we have been reaping.
Speaker Johnson ought to post a one-word reply: NUTS!
How many congress critters do you think would catch your drift?
I have no idea. Anyone who’s read about the Battle of the Bulge (Ardennes Forest offensive) in the winter of 1944-45 would get it.
Definitely a FAFO situation.
Boy the FIB is going to be busy next week raiding all these whiners!!!
I just saw where Congress gave themselves a $34,000 pay increase!!! Let each member contribute generously with a song in their hearts to this incredulous demand.
To them No means Yes. There is no choice in this.
this is a twofer for the donks. now more mayors will be clambering for their own migrants. always follow the money. ventilators. covid vaccines. afganisistan. open borders. no standing. russia hoax. stolen elections. inflation. ev. solar. blm. ebt cards. medicaid. welfare. war. what did i miss.
For all his faults, Ron DeSantis sending illegal aliens to Martha’s Vineyard was pure gold.
All the border state governors sending illegal aliens to the big blue sanctuary cities and states really hit on something. It’s all fun and games until a horde of illegal aliens shows up in your backyard.
For that matter – why do these cities need a bailout? All that cultural enrichment is its own reward. And shouldn’t their economies be getting a big boost from all those new workers?
DeSantis pulled a cheap stunt. Politics is not about winning arguments or proving the other side is hypocritical. It is about one thing – power.
If DeSantis was serious, he would have sent 20,000, not 20, and he would not have stopped when they whined about the problem.
And now FL taxpayers are paying for the federal lawsuit that has stemmed from this.
DeFraud got his illegals FROM Texas, TOOK them to Florida first, THEN flew them to MV.
Why didn’t he just take illegals that were washing up on FL shores in boats?
You’re correct: Stunt!
I’m in Southern California. Last week SoCalEdison (electric) had people going door to door offering to “help” with energy costs through various programs. My area is 95% Hispanic and probably at 1/3 of head-of-household are not citizen. Basically, energy to immigrants is being heavily subsidized. Had someone from frontier cable yesterday offering programs for reduced wifi. Internet is subsidized for local immigrants.
I just got this text:
“The California Public Utilities Commission will hold hearings on November 8th regarding new rules for a federal broadband grant program. Please visit cpuc.ca.gov/pph for more information.”
Equity…we need to redistribute what we have with invaders and those here legally who don’t give 2 f’s about our country and culture. I said equity but I meant decolonization.
That’s interesting. I was looking at my Redmond, WA electric bill yesterday because it’s gone up and there was a section about getting financial assistance with remarks about “habla espanol”. :-(((
You made your bed, now lie in it!
I think the Federal Government should consider bailing them out. here’s the terms. In exchange for funds to fix overcrowding due to the influx of illegal aliens. The federal government will need an agreement for the following.
resignations of the Mayor, all city council men, local district attorney and staff with a pledge not to re-run for any public office for a decade.Agree to federal martial law in the city for a period of 3 months or until new city council, mayor and local district attorney and staff can be elected or installed.Agree to a loan re-payment program for the cost for identify, capturing and deporting all illegal aliens in the city
agree to those three items and sure…I would allow my tax dollars from Missouri to go to clean up Chicago once and for all. that would be in the interest of the country, but only if we also get rid of the disease along with the resulting symptom.
As a taxpayer in Missouri I have no interest in paying for Chicago’s problems. Let the residence of Illinois foot the bill. Make these mayors and governors ask their own state residents to foot the bill for their decisions. They want to sanctuary cities and states, the pay for it themselves.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to send them back from whence they came, and stop letting them into the country so they stop overwhelming the sanctuary cities thst now don’t want them?
Nueva York City is giving free air fare to anywhere in the world, no questions asked, to any illegal alien who wants to go back home.
Consider what a money saver this is- it costs Swagger Man with No Plan Eric Adams about $400 a day to line the pockets of his hotel buddies. They can get plane tickets for around $300 bucks. Makes sense to me!
Unless it’s specified that the ticket must be to a destination outside the U.S. he’s just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
So the Mayors aren’t really objecting to the illegal aliens arrival they just want us We The People to pay/subsidize all their needs and wants!!! This is obama’s “fundamental change” of America aka the modern updated version of the Cloward-Piven strategy!!! Obama never had an original thought! It’s also the fast forwarding of the browning of America with POC from third world hellholes!!! Welcome Mayors to the new America brought to by your messiah obama and your own foolish, naive, leftist ideological doings!!! Live with it until we come with bounty hunters to deport them all back home!!! JMO
That would require the approval of Congress.
Hell no!!!
Oh so coincidentally, a fundraiser extraordinaire for mayor adams of nyc was arrested in a fbi raid earlier today.
NO!
These cities made the choice, now they should enjoy the consequence.
NO!!!!
As usual…the children demand that they don’t have to bear the consequences of their actions. They’ll never learn if they make the “adults” (meaning the rest of us who oppose this invasion) cover for their bad decisions.
F THEM!! Shit’s not funny now is it. You make the shit sandwich, you get to eat it, every fing bite!!
They should not get any Fed taxpayer dollars. They caused this, they wanted this, they should pay for it themselves. Buuuttt, if they get any Fed tax money, then Texas and Arizona should get 100,000 times more than dollars.
Cloward, meet Piven.
WHO did not see this coming?
This is all by design.
They can stuff it.
There is no problem that you can create that doesn’t call for someone else’s money to fix.
Socialism works only as long as you have other’s money to spend.
Destitution is at the end of that road, every time.
How about, HELL NO! You dumbasses spout all your Progressive BS as long as it doesn’t impact your cities. Funny how it doesn’t matter until it matters, huh?
How about hell no! You wanted them you can pay for them. I was not asked If I wanted to live in a sanctuary city nor do I wish to pay for everyone.
No!!
Barking Spider’s reply consists of two words and the first starts with an “F” and the second starts with a “Y”.
We were in Denver last summer, it’s not a real nice place. We were downtown walking to breakfast on a beautiful sparkling Colorado morning with our son and daughter in law. I looked down at a homeless person wrapped up, he was dead. How would I know this you might ponder… I worked for a mortician in high school. Denver gets nothing, nada. Same with the other 3 rd world sh..holes.
They want to get in on the money laundering at the federal level
Yeah! And, Houston will probably elect current Congresswoman Sheila (Hair Weave) Jackson-Lee (D) to the office of mayor next week. It sounds nice to support being a sanctuary city until you actually become one and suffer the consequences. No to more bailouts…they never end!
I’ll bet they get it in one form or another.
They’ll get all they ask and more.
We NEED to STOP all cities and states that CLAIM to be sanctuary areas by cutting all federal funding for supporters of illegals.
Every big city in the country has for years, had an office full of lawyers on K Street in Washington DC who function as lobbyists trying to increase the amount of money the Feds hands out every year. They get money for fighting crime, improving transportation, improving law enforcement, improving hospitals, clinics and healthcare, fighting poverty, etc, etc, etc! It’s never enough!
Chicago doesn’t want their gang and street violence to end, else they would lose the federal monies being paid out now for decades! More crime, MORE MONEY! More poverty, MORE MONEY! More gangs, MORE MONEY!
There’s not enough wealth in these United States to SOLVE the problems of the illegal immigrants. It will be here for several lifetimes, starting with horrific costs to just keep them alive. Then there’s education, jobs, assimilation etc, which is the absolute LUNACY OF POLITICS. Obama/Biden/Soros has dealt the 20 year death blow to America!
Note to sanctuary putz’s, be careful what you wish for. All that virtue signaling had a price bubbie.
Raise the individual sanctuary city’s home property taxes to pay for it. Hear what the constituents have to say about it.
Federal Bureau of Intimidation setting up the raids as we speak. “Get back, Loretta!”
This makes no sense. Ten times two is twenty. I am seeing an increase in the homeless tents. May be ten fold from next to nothing a month ago. I have been wondering why we are close enough to the border and haven’t seen many people here. That is fine by me, but…? During the GF stupidity my kid’s school was fenced off. Every square inch outside that fence was filled with tents. Blocks of tents. When the police made some of them move, they moved two blocks away. Everyone in my neighborhood put up fences or caution tape or rocks to make sure they didn’t move onto the right of way between the sidewalk and street. When the GF stupidity ended and the “protestors” moved on I saw who I thought was a local lib carrying a flat screen TV and a vacuum away from the school encampment. They were all here to protest. The capital had every 1st floor window smashed plus every 1st floor window within a block radius with acab graffiti everywhere. I followed their path down the street mall the following day. Smash and paint.
But for the past two years, homeless has been only slight uptick from “normal”. Past month I have seen more. Still nothing compared to GF.
While I’m at it, I have never seen so much construction. Apartments and condos. Fixing the storm drains. Replacing lead pipes to houses. Lots of cranes. But people who work in construction have said you have to speak spanish if you can get a job there. Right after GF when they fixed the storm drains there were huge holes in the ground for months. Streets closed down to one lane each way and side streets closed with mounds of dirt and new twelve ft. pipes to install. But it seemed the pipes didn’t move. It was really weird. Still traffic diversions everywhere.
What is GF?
George Floyd.
The illegal trash coming in from all countries into the US from the open border are DESTROYING American. Joe Biden wants this because he and Obama and other Democrats are planning to turn our country into a Communist country. The Democrat Party will turn all these illegal immigrants into SLAVES!! They will have it worse in America than if they stayed in their own country!!
These and other cretins need to be PAYING TEXAS and ARIZONA for the sunk costs they incur daily for all the illegal traffic into and across their lands. Cali can handle its own mess.
You had to know that was coming, right?
I’ve decided that the only way Gavin Nuisance funds California after so many high earning tax payers have left, and businesses too, is with Federal assistance. Being a welfare state has its benefits.
Yes, Sundance, the arrogance stinks to high heavens. They create huge messes with their policies, demand we all pay for it, and the demented fools in Washington, D.C. give it to them. The rest of us have to live on a budget.
The only funds that should be approved are for…
A) completing the border wall.
B) staffing the border wall.
C) staffing to track and deport illegal invaders.
D) offering bounties for the capture of illegal invaders so they can be deported.
Printing money on our kids future won’t solve the problem….only make it worse except for the grifters who will capitalize..
States like New York want the rest of the country to subsidize their mismanagement. New York governors have specifically invited illegal aliens into the State and are currently spending approximately 18 million dollars a day to house and feed them. You chose this path, now live with it.

Wait till the Palestinians start to pour in.
They will want more money and a huge increase in police protection and an increase demand for pit bulls.
SO…the cities that conspired to violate federal immigration law, and made it illegal for state law enforcement officers to cooperate with federal immigration officers….NOW wants that same federal government (the one they thumbed their noses at) to BAIL THEM OUT!?
NO! F**K NO!
From the AP article, “Lastly, they are asking for the administration to create a regional migration coordinator who would work with the federal government, nonprofits and state and local officials. The aim is to better coordinate and place migrants in areas where there is capacity for them.”
Oh, no you don’t! You “sanctuary cities” wanted them, and you got them.
Leftist policies have leftist consequences.
How about HELL NO!
Of course they do they knew all along they would ask for a bail out $$$ courtesy of taxpayers … FO
A Sanctuary City a protects its illegal inhabitants from the federal agencies who would arrest and deport its illegal invaders. So now the Sanctuary City administrators ask for relief from the same federal government they thwarted? I hope Speaker of the House Johnson leads Congress to protect the sanctity of the federal treasury.
