Why would a mayor of a "sanctuary city" get mad when illegal immigrants are shipped there from red states or cities?

[Stacey55666]

Are they really not a sanctuary city? Are they just saying they're a sanctuary city so they can look woke? We all saw what happened when the woke sanctuary of Martha's Vineyard received some immigrant guests to their island. They couldn't get rid of them quick enough.

New York City mayor Eric Adams wants to sue Texas governor Greg Abbott, because Greg is helping illegal immigrants get to a sanctuary city.

If anyone should be sued and impeached, it's Joey. Trump negotiated a wait in Mexico policy, and it was working fine until Joey was magically elected and screwed the whole thing up.

[YesterdaysChild]

NYC can't handle the crisis they themselves created by becoming a sanctuary city.

Mayor Eric Adams has repeatedly urged New Yorkers to volunteer or donate to help ease the asylum-seeker crisis, but figuring out where to go to help or what items to give can be difficult.

For information on how New Yorkers can help, Gothamist spoke with the mayor's office as well as several organizers involved in daily efforts to aid migrants who have recently arrived in the city.

Nearly 60,000 asylum-seekers are currently in the city’s emergency shelter system, and about 19,000 homeless children have enrolled in public schools since the ongoing wave of migrants began last year.

While many organizers cautioned that their needs are frequently changing, here's what they say they need now.

Hygiene products and toiletries like deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes.
New and used clean clothing for men, particularly in small and medium sizes.
New socks and underwear for men.
Baby diapers.
Money. Use this website, which also shows how donations are spent.
Contact organizers to arrange donations of goods.

HOW YOU CAN VOLUNTEER

South Bronx Mutual Aid has an urgent need for volunteer translation services to help communication with migrants. To volunteer, call the number above or direct message the organization on Instagram to find out which migrant shelter to go to. Translators are needed for:

Spanish
French
African languages, including Wolof and Fulani
Arabic
HEAR IT FROM THEM

South Bronx Mutual Aid has routinely assisted immigrants in the borough since its founding in April 2020. Now, the group dedicates most of its time to visiting migrant shelters, getting to know the migrants, discussing their needs and directly providing aid.

Ariadna Phillips, the founder of the group, said that translation services are urgently needed to help talk to migrants about conditions in the Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers, or “HERRCs.”

“There have been numerous concerns…around abuses occurring by these HERRC operators,” said Phillips.

She said volunteers would be part of a “system of accountability and [make] sure that if something is happening, people have trustworthy neighbors to come in and offer support and care.”

Looking for a better life, does not qualify you for asylum.

In order to qualify for asylum, they have a fear of persecution due to their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or their inclusion in a particular social group.

If you think New York City has it bad, just imagine what it must be like to be a border city or state and how the federal government does not care.

Trump's weight in Mexico policy was working perfect, until Biden was inaugurated and changed everything.

In Texas, border patrol employees were taking money out of their own wallets to buy baby formula, diapers and other necessities. Biden can give hundreds of millions of dollars to Ukraine, but he doesn't care about Americans.

[exitseven]

Everybody has a sob story.

[Stacey55666]

@exitseven
I was talking to a girl on here about my brother and I picking up dead bodies as a side gig. (to be delivered to a funeral home) She got a good laugh. (her question was about being scared)

My brother and I were poor, but we never knew it. lol

[YesterdaysChild]

@stacey55666 I agree with you 101%

[Stacey55666]

Thanks. Did you get my message about spell check?

[YesterdaysChild]

Message where? In box or on a thread?

[Stacey55666]

You asked me if I used Grammarly. I said that I just use a computer, so this site points out typos and grammar mistakes.

But if you're using a mobile device, then type your stuff on Google Docs (for free)
Fix the mistakes and then copy and paste the results on this app.

[YesterdaysChild]

I use a computer too. Grammarly is on it. If I misspell something it is underlined in blue or red. And it doesn't cost me a dime.

[Stacey55666]

Cool beans! I use a computer at home, and a tablet or phone while away from home.

[chrissykerdock]

the thing that stinks is that they're not protecting the border... millions of immigrants have come through... adams signed up for sanctuary city but he's so over burdened with immigrants he can't handle it and/or they're ruining his city... america is a mess it's a 3rd world country... just think trump lost the election even though there were 40,000 affadavits saying cheating went on but the media isn't allowed to mention that... you've been sieged and a lot of you are going to die... a lot of girls are going to get raped and no one cares.

[Stacey55666]

I googled it, and there is no maximum number of times you can impeach a president. It's September and Biden should be on his 5th impeachment by now, but the Republicans are dropping the ball.

[YesterdaysChild]

They are giving all their attention to kicking the rump of Trump instead.

[chrissykerdock]

@YesterdaysChild and trump was builing the wall at the time he left office... then ordered to stop which is proof right there biden had no intention of protecting our border... it makes me sick this 2 tier system.

[chrissykerdock]

trump makes a phone call and a few days later they start impeachment... then there was the made up russian impeachment... maybe 4 times they tried/impeached him

[Stacey55666]

@chrissy
Joey is auctioning off the excess building materials for the wall. We will be getting pennies on the dollar. So when we get a real president and they try to finish the wall, they will have to re-buy all the materials. Also, Joe Biden has cut 114 large holes in the wall so the antelope can get through. I saw a video of this and it wasn’t antelope coming through the holes. It was illegals..

[Stacey55666]

@yesterday

They are absolutely terrified of Trump. Trump said he wants to make America great again and they don’t like that idea at all.

[chrissykerdock]

that's really defying the American... i never heard of that but it means nothing because the media wouldn't cover that or at least tell the truth about anything.

[Stacey55666]

Chrissy

Do a Google search for the holes in the wall for the antelope.

You'll be flabbergasted.

[chrissykerdock]

i will i believe you 100% but this is destructive

[YesterdaysChild]

I didn't see that when I Googled but did see the story of Biden selling off the fence materials for pennies on the dollar.
The Biden administration is quietly auctioning off millions of dollars’ worth of unused parts from former President Trump’s border wall for peanuts – in an apparent end-run around pending legislation in Congress.

Since April, GovPlanet, an online auction house specializing in military surplus, has sold 81 lots of steel “square structural tubes” — intended for use as vertical bollards in the border barrier’s 30-foot-tall panels — hauling in about $2 million.

On Tuesday, GovPlanet netted $154,200 for 729 of the 28-foot-tall hollow beams, sold in five separate lots for an average $212 apiece.

But just last month, as part of its annual defense appropriations package, the Democrat-led Senate passed a Republican-sponsored bill aimed at forcing Biden to stem the worsening migrant crisis at the US-Mexico border by extending the wall

Up to $300 million worth of taxpayer-funded wall components have been left to rust since Biden came to office, Republicans have said.

The Finish It Act will make the feds use those materials on new wall construction — or hand the remaining stock over to states like Texas for use in their own border defense projects.

Now, the Biden administration is rushing to get rid of the wall leftovers before the GOP-led House can pass a matching version of the bill and make it law, critics told The Post.

“The pennies made from selling the border wall will not be enough to pay the families who suffer from a criminal act committed by someone who crossed our open borders during the Biden administration,” railed Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford.

[Stacey55666]

@yesterday

I have a tip for you that you can share with others. When you're pretty sure that something exists on the internet, but you can't find any Google search results, it's probably because Google is hiding it from you. Google is very left wing and the last thing they want is for the public to know that Biden cut 114 holes in the border wall that are about big enough to drive a car through.

So what you want to do is instead of using Google, use

duckduckgo

I just tried it in duck duck go and I immediately found an article about the holes in the wall.

I don't know if you'll be able to find the video I saw, because I saw it on Fox News. Hordes of illegal aliens were using these antelope crossings.

Biden really needs to be impeached.

[YesterdaysChild]

👍👍

[Anonymous]

5-6 million new people willing and able to work for pennies started holding down wages in the middle and lower income job market from the rest of the world since Joe Biden threw open the immigration doors in 2021.
This in a time of great inflation has reduced much of the American population into paycheck to paycheck living.

But this is what they 'voted' for in 2020 so we must assume at least Biden voters either shouldn't be voting out of being too ignorant or incompetents to bother looking at Joe's platform or want us to be poor.

[Stacey55666]

And Joey the clown is suing Elon musk because Elon won't hire illegal immigrants.

[Opinion Owner]

@stacey55666 Joey strongly supports this cause and is only able to get away with this and countless other things he does out of the fact that he knows his supporters will never hear about it from where they get their news.

[Stacey55666]

That's very true. Jesse water says his mother watches CNN all day long. She has no clue what's going on in the real world.

[exitseven]

It is easy to be a sanctuary city when the crisis is 2000 miles away but when it is in your backyard and you have to deal with the big expense and the crime and inconvenience it is an entirely different story. They like the votes they get by pandering to the minorities but when they actually have to put up their money and support thousands of unskilled, indigent illegal aliens most of who can't speak English and have health problems.

[Stacey55666]

Very well said. A guy on this thread is angry that Greg Abbott is sending them to California, because California is also a border state. I tried to tell him that he needs to take that up with Gavin newsom, who has declared California a sanctuary state.

You know the slogan, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Biden fixed a lot of things on day one that weren't broke. I'm glad Eric Adams is feeling the pain.

[RingOfFire]

Because all Democrats are FAKES, PHONIES AND FRAUDS. They tell whatever lies they think are necessary to stay in power. That's all they care about.

This guy is Adams is a disgusting, racist, anti-Semitic, America hating Marxist pig. May even be worse than Conrade de Blasio his commie predecessor.

[Stacey55666]

And the Democrats keep voting for them.

[Avicenna]

Leftists do nothing but lie, and the "sanctuary city" or "sanctuary state" lies are no exception.
Do not expect truthfulness or logic from leftists, or for them to take responsibility for anything.

[Stacey55666]

I most certainly do not expect truthfulness from them. I just wonder why people vote for them. If the border was closed, we wouldn't need illegal sanctuary cities and states.

[Avicenna]

That's definitely true. You'd have to ask them why they vote for the totalitarians.

[Stacey55666]

They will freely admit they voted for Biden because he wasn't Trump. But then when you ask them why they chose Biden in the primary, and they either don't answer, or they say they felt that only Biden could beat Trump. Right! The ONLY Dem that could beat Trump was a criminal with dementia.

[Avicenna]

No one said these people make any sense. Don’t forget that many of them are worried about being ostracized if they don’t go along with the extreme leftist agenda.

[Stacey55666]

You just described Hollywood.

[Avicenna]

So true. But that’s only one of many “industries” where that is the case.

[Stacey55666]

Oh, I know. China is slowly buying America. They already own Biden.

[Avicenna]

Another interesting thing is that people who hate Trump almost never can cite any policy of his that explains their hatred.

[Stacey55666]

Oh I know. I've asked many Trump haters why they hate him and they absolutely don't know why. They just get their news from Rachel maddow on MSNBC, and believe pretty much anything she says.

[rigmarole]

He only wants to import foreign "children" because he's a pedophile. When adults are sent he all...

https://www.youtube.com/embed/LZmUfUBqE-s

[rigmarole]

Bet if you send him an airplane filled with Haitian children after a hurricane or earthquake, he will happily place them into child trafficking rings without question...

[Stacey55666]

I heard that America is the number one sex trafficking ring for children now. But the idiots will vote for Biden again.

[rigmarole]

Maybe the "idiots" are the customers...

[Stacey55666]

I don't think they're idiots. I think they're disgusting animals and the federal government is allowing it.

[DextroShade]

It's easy to virtue signal and say you are a sanctuary city when you are over 1,000 miles from the Southern border but apparently the biggest city in the country can't even handle a day's worth of illegals while Martha's Vineyard flipped out over a couple dozen. How are these small towns on the border supposed to deal with this when the biggest city can't? The democrats under Biden are the worst scum in this country's history.

[Stacey55666]

Great points.

[Dargil]

Because they enjoy the virtue signaling but don't want to experience the consequences.
If Leftists want to support illegal immigration, you should volunteer to sponsor one or more. Like I did my LEGAL alien wife.

[Stacey55666]

Maybe they need to think about stopping their virtual signaling. Because now they've been busted.

[Dargil]

They do not care about the truth; just keeping the narrative going. What the left says IS "their truth" regardless of objective facts. Democrats are now employing their version of Taqiya; the Islamic application of deception to advance their cause.

[Stacey55666]

Interesting, I’ll have to look that up.

[Dargil]

In the world of Islam, it permits Muslims to lie by whatever means necessary in order to advance the cause of Allah. Lying is not a sin when you're doing it for your deity and their opinion.

[Stacey55666]

A lady from Israel told me exactly what you just said.

[Dargil]

And she ought to know. The mods won't like this offensive statement but Jihadists can have a smile on their faces and a dagger behind their backs.

[Stacey55666]

True

[Drewtate]

Because political rhetoric is fine until you asked to grab a laddle and back it up.

[Stacey55666]

"grab the ladle" Interesting term. UK?

Martha's Vineyard has a sign as you enter that talks about them being a sanctuary city. lol
I wonder if they took that sign down yet?

[Drewtate]

Probably not. Grab a laddle, it's something you say to Liberals when they talk about how republicans are ruining the country etc virtue signaling about how much they care about the poor and black people. Basic champagne socialist bullcrap. You invite them to grab a laddle at the local soup kitchen.
Thing was it was out of season in Martha's vineyard so there were thousands of empty holiday homes and hotel rooms yet despite advertising as a sanctuary city couldn't find anywhere to put up 50 ilegal immigrants other than a church basement under armed guard from the sheriff's department. Of course they virtue signalled about bringing bottles of water to them.

[Stacey55666]

Can you imagine the replies you would get on here if you posted a question about what you just said?

Oh, yeah? Well Trump's hair isn't even real!
Oh, yeah? Trump college was a flop!

[love_conquers_lust]

Happens in Europe too. The sanctuary cities will complain about others not shouldering their fair share of the load. But they didn't want them to begin with. I'm inclined to side with Red states on this one. However, those same Red states are notorious for flooding their own states with visa workers. So, you're going to have a hard time getting me to side with them as well.

[Stacey55666]

Last I checked, a visa was permission to be in the country legally. A legal person doesn't require a sanctuary to hide out in.

[love_conquers_lust]

Don't care. We have neglected talent in our own borders.

[Stacey55666]

What does that have to do with Eric Adams wanting to sue Greg Abbott?

[love_conquers_lust]

I didn't explicitly address that. But since you asked, Adams is suing because he doesn't want to pay for these people. He wants to impose it on Abbott when Abott didn't want these people either. And what good is it going to do anyway when I am literally in another GAG thread talking about people leaving NYC in droves because of factors like this contributing to this situation.

Is New York falling apart? ↗

Either way, if people would fucking listen to me, this wouldn't be an issue.

[Stacey55666]

Who's not fucking listening to you?

[love_conquers_lust]

Have you not seen me arguing with people on here? Like my god. I say such incendiary shit to try to make a point. No one wants to make a concession without a fight. Same thing over and over. More concerned about who is right than what is right. The only way to know is to try to look through other people's lenses. I constantly see people refusing to do that. And when they do and find out they are wrong, they withdraw or report a bunch of what I said.

[love_conquers_lust]

To be honest, I think you're a troll because I've seen you argue and contradict me multiple times and with other people. And I'm not going to argue with you about who's gaslighting who. I'm just going to keep spouting what's right.

[Stacey55666]

Arguing on this site won't change a thing. If someone wants to debate me on sanctuary cities, I'll be happy to do it. But I know it won't change a thing.

And you comparing illegal immigrants to legal immigrants, doesn't make sense. Besides, both legal and illegal immigrants are here because of the federal government.

[love_conquers_lust]

Everything we say matters. It's how we learn. If it didn't matter, there wouldn't be Russian trolls trying to influence elections, infiltrating the US with Marxist concepts like they did in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. You couldn't be more wrong about this site won't change a thing. However big or small, if we have the courage to speak on what's in our hearts, the truth will shine through and light up the darkness that is silence.

[Stacey55666]

You saw me arguing with you right now, because I'm talking about apples, and you want to talk about oranges. But there are lots of trolls like you that can't just ask their own questions, so they try and change MY questions to fit their needs.

Prove me wrong and ask your question about there being too many legal visas in red states!

And please DO spout what's right, but spout it on your own questions. Don't try and manipulate my questions.

I've posted this many times on this site, but I'll post it just for you.

Question: “I’m going to France next year. For those who’ve been there, what sights do you recommend?”

Typical GAG replies:

*I’ve never been to France
*I’m going to Germany
*I speak some French
*I like French Fries.
*I have a friend who went to France
*I’m afraid of flying
*I’m just staying home for my vacation

If I ask these people why they chose to not answer the question, they will all swear that they did answer the question.

[Stacey55666]

"You couldn't be more wrong about this site won't change a thing. "

I look forward to you typing out your own questions.

[love_conquers_lust]

You can click my profile and see my questions. I've been here off and on for years.

[Stacey55666]

So ask the question about red states having too many visa holders.

[love_conquers_lust]

www.migrationpolicy.org/.../immigrant-population-state-1990-present

[love_conquers_lust]

The numbers skyrocketed in 1980

[love_conquers_lust]

Since 1980, rather.

[Wise4myage]

I laughed when that witch Gov of NY demanded that Biden do something about the issue. Funny thing is, he doesn't give a shit.

[Stacey55666]

Sociopaths don't care about anything except themselves.

[Surely]

What is good for thee. Isn’t good for me!
Seems to be the Democratic slogan on most things. Including global warming!

[Stacey55666]

Boy, you sure got that right. Joey said that the most existential threat facing us is climate change. Joey has all but said he's going to destroy the fossil fuel industries. But then Joey flies on air force one constantly to go on never-ending vacations.

[Reijen]

She shouldn't be mad. They should welcome them. It's what they wanted.

[Stacey55666]

True

[zagor]

It just pisses me off when they ship them here to California because WE are a border state too, dumbass Abbott, and have our own illegal problem.

[Stacey55666]

Maybe Gavin Newsom is the dumbass.

[zagor]

For not sending immigrants to Texas?

[zagor]

The point is California already has it's own illegals.

[Stacey55666]

I understand that, but Gavin Newsom needs to no longer call California sanctuary state.

[zagor]

Newsom is actually pretty moderate compared to some in the state legislature.

[Stacey55666]

Well, he's the governor of the state. You should stop condoning illegal immigration. All the states that don't want illegals, should stop calling themself to sanctuary.

[Sasahara]

Because they are major hypocrites.

[Stacey55666]

And they're very good at it.

[gorydetails]

Weird, huh.

[Stacey55666]

I think Eric Adams is making the whole thing up, because Karine and Alejandro said the border is secure. Why would they lie?

[gorydetails]

True. Maybe Adams is a white supremacist.
