Appearing on Face the Nation, Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson (Chicago, Illinois) and Democrat Mayor Mike Johnston (Denver, Colorado) discuss the ongoing challenges related to Texas Governor Greg Abbott not retaining all of the arriving illegal aliens in the state of Texas.
Johnson and Johnston both accuse Greg Abbott of sowing chaos in their city, as both mayors are forced to provide essential services and support to arriving illegal aliens in order to maintain the open border policies of the Biden administration. Video and Transcript Below:
It’s beyond progressively typical to see Brennan, Johnson and Johnston blame everyone except Joe Biden.
[Transcript] – MARGARET BRENNAN: For more on how immigration is affecting communities across the U.S., we turn now to two Democratic mayors, Chicago’s Brandon Johnson and Denver’s Mike Johnston.
Gentlemen, welcome to Face the Nation.
BRANDON JOHNSON (D-Mayor of Chicago, Illinois): Good morning.
MIKE JOHNSTON (D-Mayor of Denver, Colorado): Thank you for having us.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Thanks for joining us.
And, Mr. Mayor of Chicago, I want to put to you a question about what seems to have developed overnight. There are reports of a plane from Texas landing in Chicago carrying more migrants that arrived around 1:00 a.m. I’m wondering if Texas officials gave you any heads-up. Who’s on the plane? What happens next?
MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON: Well, what we have is clearly, clearly an international and federal crisis that local governments are being asked to subsidize.
And this is unsustainable. None of our local economies are positioned to be able to carry on such a mission. And what we have attempted to do is to create structure and some coordination around this humanitarian crisis. And, unfortunately, the governor of Abbott – the governor of Texas, Governor Abbott, is determined to continue to sow seeds of chaos.
And last night and several nights before, a number of buses continue to arrive in the city of Chicago and throughout the country without any coordination. And now he’s taken on this very dangerous task of placing individuals on airplanes and flying them into our various cities. This is certainly a matter of – not just of our national security, but it’s the type of chaos that this governor is committed to administering.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor of Denver, to be clear here, I know that you have looked at New York and Chicago making decisions to restrict bus arrivals.
Are you trying to take measures in your city to restrict them from even arriving in the first place?
MAYOR MIKE JOHNSTON: No, all we want is a system that is – that is humanitarian for both the new folks that are arriving and for our cities and our city employees.
And so we understand there will be an inflow. We have already had 35,000 migrants arrive to Denver. We have successfully helped them integrate into the country here. What we don’t want is people arriving at 2:00 in the morning at a city and county building with women and children outside in 10-degree weather and no support.
And so we want buses here to do whatever the bus does, which is land at a bus station and a bus stop and hours when we can have staff there to receive them and to direct them toward services. And so we understand the flow is coming. We just want it to be coordinated, and in a humanitarian way, which we think makes it effective for the city and for those newcomers.
So that means things like arriving 8:00 to 5:00 Monday to Friday with notice.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Right.
And I understand that you haven’t been able to get the state of Texas to stop sending people. But when it comes to your party’s leadership, as Senator Graham said, you have asked the White House for more help. Did they respond to your public call?
MAYOR MIKE JOHNSTON: Yes, we’ve talked to the White House. We’ve talked to leadership there. we think they agree on the core needs that we see.
I mean, we think this is a solvable problem. There are key priorities we need. We need federal dollars to help support our work here in the cities. We also need federal dollars for more support at the border, the ability to adjudicate asylum claims more quickly, so they can be done in 90 days, and not in four to six years.
That makes a massive difference. If we have the resources for cities to support us, if we have – when people arrive, we actually have work authorization when they get to a place like Denver, so we can put them to work, which is what they want, and we have a coordinated entry plan, where it’s not just the governor of Texas deciding what cities to send people to, but it’s actually the way we’ve welcomed asylees in this country for years.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Mm-hmm.
MAYOR MIKE JOHNSTON: When we had asylees from Afghanistan or Ukraine, we had federal support, we had coordinated entry, we had work authorization.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.
MAYOR MIKE JOHNSTON: And those efforts worked quite smoothly. America knows how to do this. We think we can do it here.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Right. Those are different programs for those refugees. But I hear your point on the work authorization.
Mayor Johnson of Chicago, did the White House give you what you need in your public call this week?
MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON: Well, look, I think there’s no secret here that we need comprehensive – comprehensive immigration – immigration reform.
This comprehensive immigration reform would certainly transform this situation. In fact, it solves this – this crisis. What we have said repeatedly is that we need Congress to act to provide the resources that are needed in order to – to carry out this mission.
But what we can’t have is a governor in the state of Texas acting the way he is acting. And, quite frankly, the rogue buses that are being dropped off across this country in the middle of the night, leaving people with – with no real support at all, no coordination with the local municipalities, that type of chaos is – it’s certainly dividing our country.
And we need better coordination between all levels of government to be able to respond to this mission.
MARGARET BRENNAN: When you reach out to the governor – I’m – I’m assuming you have – do you get any response?
MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON: Well, we sent an entire delegation to the border to see firsthand what’s happening at the border. I have actually spoken with leaders of the Mexican government.
They’re having the same challenges that we’re having here in America. And so there has to be a real coordinated effort to be able to respond to this crisis. Again, putting people on airplanes, and dropping them off in the city of Chicago and Denver, New York, without any coordination, without a manifest, I don’t know how many federal laws or aviation laws he can be violating.
But this type of chaos is not what’s needed in this moment. We need a coordinated effort between all levels of government to ensure that this humanitarian mission that’s an international crisis is met with the type of civility and sanctity that’s required.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Understood.
I mean, I checked the weather and both of your cities. It’s 32 degrees in Chicago. It’s 25 degrees in Denver. I’m guessing someone walking across from Mexico isn’t outfitted for that kind of frigid arrival.
MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON: Yes. That’s absolutely right.
(CROSSTALK)
MAYOR MIKE JOHNSTON: We say that every day. We have folks arrive in T- shirts and sandals.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.
It’s – I want to talk about this more, but I have to take a commercial break. So, if you would both stay with us. As we do that, I will be right back with you and be back with you all in a moment.
So, stay with us.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Welcome back to FACE THE NATION.
We pick up where we left off with Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.
Gentlemen, I do want to pick back up on one of the points you raised.
Mr. Johnston of Denver, the White House says it takes 30 days to process work permits and temporary protected status for – for some of these migrants. You’re saying you need people to arrive ready to work. What happens in that 30-day period? Why is that not fast enough?
MIKE JOHNSTON (Mayor of Denver): Yes, we were grateful for the government’s action, including the secretary’s action, to provide temporary protective status for Venezuelans who arrived before July 31st. We advocated for that. They made that change. That was a huge help.
The challenge now is Venezuelans who have arrived in the last several months are not eligible for that temporary protective status. They often don’t have a path to work authorization and they may have an asylum claim that is three or four or five years in the waiting until the claim is heard. And so the challenge on our city streets, we have folks that are here who whenever I talk to migrants, I was with them yesterday, they’ll just say, I only want one thing, which is the ability to work. And we have employers calling me every day saying, hey, mayor, I have open jobs, can I please hire these folks. But we have folks that right now are currently without a path to work authorization. We’d love to see that path to work authorization expand for more recent arrivals the same way the secretary of health did be possible for those who arrived before July 31st.
MARGARET BRENNAN: And that was done through – through federal authority through the administration. But changing the law would require Congress to – to alter some of these programs. I thought it was interesting, Mayor Johnson of Chicago, you also made the point that when it came to Afghanistan and Ukrainians, they arrived without a problem in your city and that you would like to replicate that program for everyone.
BRANDON JOHNSON (Mayor of Chicago): That’s exactly right. There are 30,000 Ukrainian refugees that are in the city of Chicago right now. The difference is, of course they were fully supported by the federal government and they were able to acclimate themselves and integrate into our economy. We have a number of asylum seekers from Central and South America and the continent of Africa, and the question is, why are we not providing that same support and treatment here?
Look, the bottom line is this, we need Congress to act. And we need them to do it expeditiously. But we cannot have the type of chaos that continues to come from the state of Texas. And, clearly, the governor of Texas, Governor Abbott, is certainly afraid and mad, but he can’t cut his own nose off, right? And so what we’re simply saying, and what I’ve done over a month ago, we provided an ordinance that would ultimately provide some structure and some coordination around when busses should arrive. Should not be dropping people off in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere without the type of support that’s needed.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.
Very quickly, before I let you go, I read, Mayor Johnson of Chicago, less than two weeks ago a five-year-old boy died after falling ill at a migrant shelter in your city. What state are people showing up in, and what is the health risk here, if any?
BRANDON JOHNSON: Well, our condolences are still with the family, and we continue to pray for the – the – the family who lost their – their child. I’m a father of three. This is just an unimaginable pain.
But what is very clear is that not only are we providing mental health related services, as well as vaccinations and health screenings, and providing medical health care for these families when they arrive the moment, they get off those busses, we’re not seeing that same treatment at the border. In other words, there’s no health screenings, no vaccinations. That process at the border is absolutely raggedy and reckless, but we cannot have a governor who decides that he’s going to cling to the vestiges of Jefferson Davis when we should be pulling to the hopes and aspirations that were left by Frederick Douglas. We have to have a coordinated response to this humanitarian crisis. We cannot allow chaos to dictate and to divide this country.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, we will wait to hear from Governor Abbott’s office in response to that.
Mr. Mayors, thank you both for joining us.
We’ll be right back.
Crocodile tears. These rich, privileged, mayors don’t give a darn about anybody but themselves, least of all their constituents and thesei millions of illegals!
Something I stumbled across this evening —
Immigration judges are not Article III federal district and appellate judges, answerable to the Chief Justice of SCOTUS. They are administrative judges who ultimately answer to Attorney General Merrick Garland.
https://www.justice.gov/eoir
I did not know that.
This sort of comes back to the FTC and SEC stuff from last year about speeding up the process by companies who argue their due process rights are being infringed. Personally, I think these judges are Unconstitutional, but they persist inside every executive department, likely as a way to groom potential circuit judges and whatnot. It’s a terrible system and needs to be axed. But we also need to axe regulatory capture and get away from this Cold War mentality.
I have represented en proper (representing myself) in Civil, Criminal and Administrative law cases.
Would rather have to defend myself against multiple felonies, than one Administrative law case.
In administrative law, there is no 5th amendment right against self incrimination, and in some cases they effectively restrict your right to council,..or to face your accusers.
It sucks.
It has to be a violation of one of the many rights We have. Has to be.
caused and allowed to continue by CONGRESS..
that link gave no info on the origin of these courts.
Constitution, Article III, Section 1. The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.
CONGRESS can abolish any court it sees fit except SC.
These immigration courts and judges answer to CONGRESS.
So, are the illegals arriving in Texas only during regular business hours?
…and with appointments?
I wondered the same thing Ellis W.
Do none of the illegal aliens arrive in Texas at 2 A.M. ?
That was so funny! Only Monday thru Friday 9-5. He actually said that!
Indeed! There is so much in this “interview”, the only comment I have this morning is LOLOLOL.
I self deleted my comment or Ad Rem would have done it for me.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 It won’t be enough until 100% are shipped out of Texas!!
Are shipped south of Texas. fify 😉
It’s all a ruse! Abbot can bus them back to mexico
If Abbott has them loaded up and taken back to Mexico, Merrick Garland can have one of his immigration judges issue an order for Abbott to go get them out of Mexico and bring them back up here.
See my comment posted above at 10:22pm.
Mayorkas is over the border patrol but Merrick Garland is over the immigration courts. They both need to be impeached right now.
Then Abbott can send them right back to Mexico. They are here illegally.
Your assumption, because Abbott is a Republicant, or because he is doing headline actions, just like his buddy Gov. DeSantis, is that he actually opposes the invasion; being a Bushie (again like Ron) he doesn’t.
If he wanted to stop it, having declared an Invasion he would contact the Mexican Govt. which the Constitution says uniquely under invasion he can do, tell them unless they stop the invasion he will access “tonnage fees” (tariffs) of 25% on ALL goods entering Texas from Mexico, something else which the Constitution says he can do as a Gov. if under invasion.
He could then put the Gov.’s of NM, AZ. and Cal. “on the spot” by inviting them to join him, because if they don’t the traffic now coming in thru Texas, would instead be rerouted to their States.
He could also invite EVERY State to sign compacts of mutual aid with Texas, to include sharing Nat’l guard and air Natl guard assets.
He, ABBOTT is a BUSHIE.
HE does NOT really want to stop the Invasion, and everything he is doing is for headlines only.
Right. Abbott is not a threat to their mockracy but is assisting it. Screw Abbott and the illusion of choice.
Thank you, Dutchman. I totally agree with you. I think at the beginning he was doing it to get attention, I never saw a reason why sending them into the rest of the country helped. Now, Abbott can see that there is a good chance something is going to happen and he doesn’t want to be blamed, so he is trying to look like he is doing something. I am right on the Texas border, I don’t see that he has done anything to stop the crossing.
Further, isn’t what Abbott is doing exactly what the lawless obama and obiden administration has done and is doing? Quietly flying, busing and dumping illegals all over the United States?
100%
Abbott is controlled opposition and extremely valuable as he is positioned.
He is a master at stunts which fool the little people who haven’t seen it yet.
I was so disappointed when I figured this out for sure by how he governed during the 2021 Texas legislature session. No doubt you knew this a whole lot sooner. But once I see it, I don’t unsee it.
I didn’t vote for him in 2022 and never will again.
They are all guilty of treason at this point. It is a zero sum game. All of them have to hang together or they will hang separately.
At what point do we just give them the middle finger and ignore their unconstitutional decrees?
US Border Patrol would stop them at the border crossings and refuse entry to Mexico
Our entire US Government is now in the same relation that used to be used to characterize Hussein Obama:
“Once you realize he’s not on our side, everything he does makes sense”
Shipping illegals to sanctuary cities & states rather than returning them to their home countries is a MORE EFFECTIVE way of stopping illegal immigration. After having to deal with a few hundred or thousand illegals, elected Democrats started complaining about the burden. Imagine the demands to CLOSE THE BORDER after MILLIONS invade Chicago, Denver, NYC, Baltimore, Boston, Newark, Philadelphia, Portland, Seatle …
To help close the border sooner rather than later, send bus fare to Gov. Abbott.
When do the bounties start?
There are So many around here I could retire in a few months..
Deport some of them from 50,000 feet on all flights without parachutes. That would be a good way to deter them. Do a lottery to decide who “gets” to fly out of the plane without the parachute. That’s horribly mean to say but what’s being done to us is horribly mean.
When? When the deep state starts their “summer of love” or coordinated armed attacks on US soil with their military aged men imported by the coup regime. IMO I would be very surprised if shit didn’t hit the fan this year.
My late stepdad, a retired Marine, would say, “War’s h3ll ain’t it!” Then shake his head in disgust. Or maybe, “Sounds like a personal problem to me.”
All of them want “more federal dollars” to help them.
No way in hell should they get it.
The proper response should be, “the nation’s people should not be responsible for paying the costs that municipalities have chosen.”
Tax payers in their locations voted them in so they must approve if the fiscal decisions their mayors and governors are making thus they bear the financial burden of sanctuary city and state status.
In a more just world, with federal leadership not aiding in the destruction of our nation, that’s what we would hear.
Yup.
Rescind their Sanctuary City Status or where the albatross around your neck.
You asked for it, you got it.
Don’t do the crime, if ya can’t do da time!
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
The responsibility lands squarely on those who virtue signalled with their sanctuary city crap, and those involved at every level, on the Fed. Giverments shirking of its responsibility.
They ARE going to reap the whirlwind, however.Their citisens are getting really pissed, and are about to exact a price from these asshats they aren’t going to want to pay.
The money will evaporate into their bank accounts.
I know Mr. Denver Mayor just sends the Venezuelans on to Ski Co towns on Colorado’s Western Slope. For instance, Aspen, founded by rich people from Chicago. What could go wrong?
I just realized they are calling them “asylum seekers” and migrants on MSM. I don’t watch TV. I have always thought they were illegal aliens. And I have seen no evidence that any of them are seeking employment.
The sad part is they’re taking money allotted to veterans and moving that to illegals! These greasers never paid a dime into it, yet want to collect off of it.
I heard that in San Diego, the Spanish radio station is reporting that people are going back to Mexico after coming in and collecting their $2200, to do it all over again and again. One man supposedly made $8800 in one month going back and forth over the border 4 times.
Sanctuary cities should get some money together and pay reparations to the rest of the country. Maybe that might reduce the inflow of those people they claim to have wanted. Well maybe some kind of reduction. There of course are no guarantees.
Yes, and notice that these dullards don’t even ONCE mention that THEIR OWN CITIZENS ARE SUFFERING from loss of employment, increased crime, neighborhood degradation, etc.
They don’t give a steaming turd’s worth about their own people. Disgusting.
They will still vote demoncrat, even after they die, LOL!
Demoncraps doing what demoncraps do… blame for thee but never for me.
Cry louder, harder & longer. No sympathy or help will be forthcoming until I’m asked to fund mass deportations.
Abbott is a sketchy fellow.
Looks like he’s moving illegals to states where they can vote, easily.
There’s always a hidden agenda, to the professional politician
Exactly right, Citizen. Abbott is another link in the chain of human smuggling
Hardly. These people are hardly innocent bystanders/saints. Many know darn well they are entering the US illegally.
I don’t any positive end to this mess either way. The US is heading for a major event. So, try to be prepared. That should be SD subject for discussion: How to prepare for a worst case scenario.
Apparently the illegals know where they are going and sign releases before they take the bus.
So? what difference does it make who is doing it? obama and obidens lawless administrations have been dumping illegals all over the US for years. As for voting, aren’t Colorado and Chicago pretty much progressive, commie democrat strongholds?
Is it me, or do planes only fly north out of Texas?
So, IOW, they think Texa(n)s should fund these criminals.
Texas is NOT a sanctuary state, why shouldn’t they send them to the states that have stated that they are willing to offer SANCTUARY? Seems this was just false signaling it does sound magnanimous & oh so generous and DEMOCRATIC but when put into motion seems to now be regretted. Of course, if the Feds would just open up their checkbook, these Governors might stop gripping so much. They shouldn’t be blaming this on Abbott, the blame falls squarely on the OBiden administration!
Attention all Migrants that are crossing the southern border. … Chicago and New York City as well as many other Democrat run areas, are vowing to give you lots of free-stuff as well as sanctuary from U.S. immigration laws, if only you will get on the Bus and get there.
We need a national divorce. We only need to conquer Washington. We need a west coast port. The leftist’s can flee to Oregon and CA where they can get all the bums, crime, illegals, drugs and filth they covet.
I heard the first 3 mins this morn and had to turn it off before I shot the TV..
Speaking for governor Abbott’s office you can thank The pedophile resident in the White House crime, family leader and Traitor to our nation Obiden.
If Abbott wants to score votes he should shut down the border! Shut down port of entry all along the border and put National guard and Texans all up and down the river. It is time for an American leader to step forward. The United States citizens are not going to be forgiving to anyone that looks like they are on the side of invasion.
They don’t give a fk about what we think as long as they aren’t afraid of us. When they are this nonsense will stop. But really, why do these people want to destroy the country they have to live in? Live in a guarded community the rest of their lives because they turned the country into a lawless crime ridden shithole? Isn’t that like just a nice prison?
Send them to obama illegal alien in chicago.
This is not an immigration problem it is an invasion. We have to stop this. I hope we are not too late. an
The last time Texas had an invasion of thousands, We won Ower Nationhood. Maybe we need to do this again. Just saying !
I thought these guys wanted new people?!
I would like to remind all those who are dancing with glee and giddiness over the busses coming to the Chicago area and its suburbs,(from TX).
Texas, we get it…we feel your pain, however…enough is enough. This only affects the hardworking, tax payers of IL….stop playing games with us!
Chicago is one portion of the state. Central and southern Illinoisans will feel this pain too, in a very large way and are helpless to combat it. Collar counties…same thing….and no doubt a response would be to ‘vote differently’. And we all know how well that works against the Chicago Machine.
Who in the FAA towers, gave these jets, particularly a jumbo jet, clearance to land in Rockford?
Only their best, right? Google has scrubbed a recent article where something like 15 shoplifters are being ‘prosecuted’…no jail time, released…
https://www.dupagecountycriminallawyers.com/retail-theft-shoplifting
FJB and FBJ……
No, you don’t get it and you are only beginning to feel our pain.
I don’t agree with the buses because I wish Abbott was who he pretends to be and would take real action.
But pretending like you know what Texas has been through is laughable.
They really don’t see themselves….Abbott is causing chaos?
Money is all he wants, so I guess if he does understand, he just doesn’t care
For the people in Chicago, it is past time to wake up
Remember Mayor BJ (Blowie) as they call him of Chiraq is a former teacher and was installed by the CTU.
The teachers union is the top of the sh!t heap when it comes to political power in the once nice but now sh!thole city.
That photo looks like someone done took a dump on his head. Quite appropriate, if I might say.
The Uniparty Rinos and Dems are working together to ship the illegals all over the country at record speed while pretending to fight about it and create the illusion that they are all against illegal immigration. Abbott is fast tracking the dispersment of the invaders so that it can not be undone. The damage is done. I live in rural PA and can’t walk into a grocery store without seeing non-english speaking, South American and African military aged men roaming the stores. They are everywhere, not just in major cities. Businesses are being paid by the government to sponsor them by housing them and employing them. It’s going to get ugly fast.
How about putting the BLAME where it belongs. On the two DEMOCRATS pictured above. At least Texas is protecting it’s CITIZENS unlike the sanctuary city incompetence.
I think the blame should be put on the Republican Party. We have voted for the RNC and they have done nothing except enrich themselves and talk about what is going on. They should all be held accountable except the very few that are representing us.
What’s the point of advising that you are a sanctuary city, if you are not providing sanctuary???
The two men pictured at the top of this article should be placing blame where it accurately belongs–on the two men pictured at the bottom of the article. Instead, they choose to deflect their “anger” and blame a man and his citizenry who for over two years endured a large number of the 6 million ILLEGAL ALIENS who have invaded this country cross into THEIR STATE. People, particularly Democrats, sat silently while Texas and Arizona took the brunt of the invasion. Even the Democrat elites in Martha’s Vineyard with their “We welcome all” signs in their yards put their abject hypocrisy on display when they loaded the illegals on buses and shipped them to NYC to another Democrat whiner. If the mayors of Chicago, Denver and NYC want the buses to stop bringing illegals to their cities, then THEY need to pressure the leadership in THEIR PARTY and the GOPe to close the borders and begin moving the illegals back home.
How can this be accomplished? Cut off every penny of foreign aid to each and every country enabling the illegal invasion of the USA until EVERY ILLEGAL ALIEN has been repatriated to their home country–and not just Central America but the African, South American, Middle Eastern, European and Asian countries as well!
And defund every dang NGO that is participating in this.
Send them ALL to DC and then the surrounding richest counties.
All the b1tch1n’ here bout Abbott and claiming this is a stunt. No, it is not. He can’t keep them all in Texas. He has to offload them somewhere. It is sure as h311 cheaper for him to get them out than be their caretaker. Let the sanctuary mayors and Governors have them. They wanted this.
As to their whining, they act like Abbott gets notice of the dumping of illegals in his state. They act like there has been coordination before. This crap went on under The Kenyan, who started it, and now The Pretender is just continuing the Kenyan’s legacy of Fundamental Transformation. Neither one gives a sh1t about coordination or the burden this places on taxpayers, without representation.
And as usual they are pushing a solution of immigration “reform”. I’m OK with that as long as it is ZERO. ZERO IMMIGRATION for at least 10 years until we rout out all of the illegals and they go home, and that includes all of the unconstitutional so-called anchor babies.
Also, Congress must pass a law that all census records forever after MUST included question(s) on legal status in this country. If the illegals don’t like it F them. They can leave. We should ever base districts or services on illegal counts. They should have ZERO say and representation in our gubt.
Just had a thought on that.
Is Abbor providing cover?
Biden’s people are providing travel to all. Obama did it secretly. It is in the open now, but the media only tells about Abbot.
More evidence of a UniParty. Birds of a feather…
It IS a stunt.
Please see Dutchman above about what Abbott would do if he was on our side and wanted to put a real dent in the issue.
Our last Governor primary election was rigged.
Our state government is pretend Red.
Tough shit. Park the illegals in your own homes.
Isn’t providing sanctuary supposed to be hard? Your claim of sanctuary must be recognized by both sides. I’m sure there were priests in Solomons temple claiming sanctuary right up until the Babylonians burned it to the ground.
THEY ARE ILLEGALS, not migrates! And, it’s all a PLAN to ,as the mayor’s said, give them working visas so they CAN VOTE! THIS HAS BEEN THE PLAN! My question is, where are they going to work? All the jobs have gone to China! When will they learn the ENGLISH language? Also…WHAT ABOUT OUR VETERANS? LORD HEAR OUR PRAYERS FOR HELP TO SAVE THIS COUNTRY 🙏
I notice lots of concern for the “asylees” and for the burdens placed on city governments, but not one word about what massive unrestricted inflows of foreigners have done, are doing, and will do to our social cohesion as a nation.
I say there are others to share the blame for our Open Border…Soros, Obama, Obama’s minions which include Biden, et. al.
They all know exactly what the Open Border is doing to this country and they don’t give a rip!
And worst of all are the suburban moderates who recoil at the idea of letting them starve or running them out of the country.
The definition of sanctuary city..a place that harbors criminals.
Ignore it while it is only a Texas problem, then demand coordination once it becomes and Illinois, New Fork and Colorado problem.
Just as stolen elections have consequences, so does declaring that the city you’re Mayor of is a “Sanctuary City”. This humanitarian crisis could have been avoided by fair and honest elections, combined with good governance …
F these Crap Weasels
What we don’t want is people arriving at 2:00 in the morning at a city and county building with women and children outside in 10-degree weather and no support.
Do the cartels in Mexico coordinate with Texas officials before sending the illegals across the border?
With the so-called reforms that the two mayors speak of, the flow of illegal aliens would rise to a global human stampede. Then these two clowns will be back on the television asking for more.
So the border of the City if Chicago is sacrosanct?
These are a group of states passing a law to reduce GHG’s. (There are also more local ones) Immigration, legal & the illegal invasion, makes these laws (there are other Federal as well) hard to impossible to comply with. The environmental organizations have been co-opted (long ago) but I always thought a lawsuit against immigration based on the fakery of Globul Warming would be a great idea to bring attention to immigration & the invasion. Breitbart/Populist tactics, not the Beautiful Loser tactics of Fabian “Conservatism”

Be careful what you wish for, rabid communist’s. You just might get it!
To blame Joe Biden is to blame Barack Obama and that they cannot do for they long since sold there souls to that devil!
This will be a year of DESPERATION for the pathetic democrats who are using SEDITIOUS LAWFARE to create another FRAUDULENT ELECTION and VIOLATE the VOTING RIGHTS of every American. Their attempts to OVERTHROW our elections and Constitution will reach new levels of absurdity.
Georgia certified a FRAUDULENT ELECTION, Kemp, Fani and her communist democrats are INTEFERING in elections via 18 UFC 5934. They are CRIMINALS! Explosive Revelation: Fani Willis Linked To Massive Election Fraud And Money Laundering RICO Enterprise!
Joe Biden: “We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” Biden and Garland are attempting to OVERTHROW our elections and Constitution. The CRIMINAL judicial system has become a corrupt mess of ROGUE judges who DO NOT UPHOLD the Constitution. There must be laws to DISBARR and REMOVE them. America is on the brink of communism by the JUDICIARY!
Not only is the mayor of Chicago h3ll bent on ignoring what’s her face’s questions to blather his own prepared script, he intends to stoke more incendiary ‘blm’ reaction by reaching back 150 years & bringing up Jefferson Davis and the Civil War. NEVER does he lay a scintilla of responsibility at the feet of the anti-American government in D.C. Infuriating. Donald J. Trump must be returned to The White House in 2024!
The fake Fabian opposition Republicans never push back and use the truth against them. Since they like this Republicans vs Democrats charade aka “Hegelian Dialectic” point out that the Jefferson Davis & the Confederates (really named because they wanted the first Constitution aka Articles of Confederation) were Democrats. KKK Democrat. Jim Crow Democrats. Abraham Lincoln Republican. Junteenth-Republicans. They play this fake game to keep us all at each others throats instead of our real enemies behind the curtain. Here is a video of what is really going on in Chicago a Democrat utopian cesspool. The Black community in Chicago is not happy with the Brown illegal immigrant invasion
MIGRATION ISSUE:CHICAGO MAYOR “ALMOST FULL CAPACITY”…HISTORICAL LOOK
So employers are calling the mayors to hire the illegals?
But the employers are not interested in hiring minority Americans demanding $20 an hour for work worth $7.25 an hour.
Not when the wets will work for $2 an hour and charging privileges at the company store.
Get the wets some gov’t IDs and they are like millions of nearly free votes.
Our American Africans have apparently bitched and moaned their way out of the equation.
Denver now has a lengthy history of electing totally unqualified dupes to the Mayor’s office. Denver and consequently Colorado are now just fiefdoms of the Communist Block of the Democrap Party. Colorado will never be given back to the descendants of the American frontier. Most of us are left wondering why they still call this the land of the free. Few believe there is even a place for free men and women. Our ancestors settled this part of the country despite the great hardships they had to overcome. We are proud of this heritage and we are pissed off that Coastal America has destroyed any semblance of our Constitutional Republic.
We are waiting for America to wise up about real freedom and we are pessimistic about that ever happening. Denver is a terrible anomaly that represents the same people who populate every other big city in the USA. We are not optimistic at all about our future. We have been lied to by Big Government for several generations and, as of 2024, a pitifully small percentage of us even know that.
The arguments these clowns make can be summarized thus:
“We believe every human on earth has a right to move to America because of Emma’s poem, and the citizens of our city vote that they should live in other communities because we don’t want to actually support them.”
If Congress does give them money, I have no doubt that it will be pissed away on graft or make-work jobs for other Democrat constituncies.
DeSantis in Florida thought he was pulling a cute stunt sending 30 to Martha’s Vineyard. He should have sent a cruise ship with 5,000 right to Boston or New York.
