"Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser is asking for aid from the DC National Guard to help with migrants being sent by bus from Texas...."

"According to [the office of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott], more than 5,100 migrants have arrived in Washington from Texas on more than 135 buses. The first bus arrived in mid-April, but city officials and non-government organizations working with the migrants -- who travel voluntarily -- have been increasingly concerned about the pace of arrivals over recent weeks.... 'Washington, DC, finally understands what Texans have been dealing with every single day, as our communities are overrun and overwhelmed by thousands of illegal immigrants thanks to President (Joe) Biden's open border policies,' Abbott's press secretary Renae Eze said in a statement to CNN. 'If the mayor wants a solution to this crisis, she should call on President Biden to take immediate action to secure the border -- something he has failed to do,' Eze added."

Illegal aliens NOT "Migrants".

Big Mike said...

Are eastern urban Democrats still laughing at Texas and Arizona? Bowser has hit the panic button over 5100 “undocumented” immigrants. Texas alone gets more than 4000 a day.

Mike Sylwester said...

When the Republicans become the majority in the US House of Representatives, they should impeach President Biden for refusing to enforce the USA's immigration laws.

Temujin said...

We've had by a low count from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, over 2 million border crossings in the year 2021. We're well past 500,000 at this point of this year, with the largest migrations heading up the hemisphere.

So sorry that Washington DC is having to take part in being an American in 2022, under Democratic rule. It's very tough on Muriel Bowser to have to be on the receiving end of hers and her party's policies. I feel bad for her.

Imagine what the ranchers, farmers, small towns, small businesses and families are dealing with along the border towns and inland towns of Texas, Arizona, and SoCal. The Number 1 priority of the United States Government is security of the nation and it's citizens. On this, every person sitting in Washington DC has failed miserably. But the largest blame is clearly on those fighting for the people of Ukraine and the security of the Ukrainian border, while abdicating their responsibility to their own citizens and our own border. Tar and Feathers is all I can think of any longer. Biden and company should be run out of town and into a jail cell for their dismantling of the border. But they are not alone as this has been happening through many administrations with only one- Trump's- that got any slow down at all.

I still think Abbott needs to point some of those buses to Martha's Vineyard, The Hamptons, Westport, CT, Bel Air, CA, Palo Alto, and Medina, WA. Let those who pay for this, enjoy some of what they've purchased for the rest of us.

Why hasn’t Dr. Jill opened up the White House? Plenty of empty rooms. It is, after all, government housing. Better behaved than Hunter.

Maybe they can find some other sanctuary city to send them to. Chicago? Boston? NYC? LA? Portland? Seattle?

The Texas governor is a mixed bag, but this was a stroke of genius.

Beasts of England said...

Give it a few more weeks and Mayor Bull Connor Bowser will be breaking out the firehouses and German Shephherds on those uppity immigrants.

Critter said...

The busing should be expanded to include from Arizona, New Mexico and California going to more blue states and cities. The invasion of our borders needs to be felt all across the “bring me more maids, landscapers, and lower costs for my meat precincts. Then we may have a real national dialog about immigration.

When people are confronted with trade offs in tax dollars available to improve their childrens’ schools, healthcare, and future job opportunities, perhaps we’ll see the recognition that too much immigration is a problem. And God forbid how the public mood would swing with an uptick of real domestic terrorism from some who crossed into America through open borders.

Breezy said...

I agree with expanding the cities to send the buses, starting with the swing state cities such as Minneapolis, Cincinnati, Atlanta, etc. Maybe it will help steer the voting to the red side.

Good luck, Mr. Mayor.

Democrats on the committee pressed FBI Director Christopher Wray and two Army officials about the response to the January 6 insurrection – including the time it took for Guard officials to respond to the unfolding attack – during the committee’s latest hearing on the riot.
[ ... ]
“That response took far too long,” House Oversight Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney said at the hearing. “After a series of delays, the National Guard did not arrive until 5:20 p.m., more than four hours after the Capitol perimeter was breached. This is a shocking failure.”


Help was requested from DC National Guard 12 times during US Capitol riot, Democrats say

Arizona has been active in the busing. I don't know the numbers but Texas and AZ are the only two states in your list with Republican governors.

who-knew said...

I recently visited two of my most progressive friends (one of whom has been deeply involved in Democratic party politics since fresh out of college he worked as an aide to Herb Kohl in the 90s. Bowser's complaint came up in conversation and I made the obvious point about what the border states and cities have been dealing with and chickens coming home to roost, etc. etc. I think it was telling that no one objected or expressed any sympathy for her.

gspencer said...

So, Muriel, now you have skin in the game. The game of Open Borders.

Do you still wanna play?

Ceciliahere said...

Mayor Muriel Bowser is a RACIST!

Fred Drinkwater said...

Temujin,
Palo Alto? No need to ship in from Texas. Every town south (San Jose, Santa Clara, Mountain View, ...) and North (San Fran) is already flooded, and has been for many years.

wendybar said...

This is what they wanted. She has a sanctuary city...so USE it. No more excuses. If Biden can ship thousands throughout the country to unsuspecting communities in the middle of the night...then DC had better get ready. They DESERVE more of them. Every sanctuary city and state should take them ALL in. THIS is what YOU wanted. Don't FORCE them on the people who DON'T.

@Temujin (8:47) please don’t forget college towns like, say, Madison, Wisconsin.

What are the rules of engagement for the National Guard?
since DC is not a state does it have NG or have to request from nearby Governors?
can Pentagon just commandeer without Governor consent?

I have good friends in DC.

They are very liberal and vote straight lefty ticket.

I hope DC turns into an even bigger shithole than it already is.

Dude1394 said...

No they should continue to send as many illegals as possible to Washington DC. I would start including criminals as well just so we can get rid of them.

Washington is the most high profile place, the one where all of the politicians work. They even have a national newspaper.
I wish we could multiply the number by ten.

Sending a bus load to Martha’s Vineyard thinking that will shame democrats is a fools errand. They don’t have any shame, using that tack always will fail.

She is doing us a favor showing the hypocrisy of the democrats and their virtue signaling sanctuary city crying. Since the illegals are so valuable ( so I am told ) what are you bitching about?

Temujin said...

Fred Drinkwater- you cannot flood Palo Alto too much.

cubanbob said...

AZ and Texas amongst other states should find the bluest zip codes in Blue states and send the illegals there.

Joe Smith said...

Legally, I'n not sure Abbott has a leg to stand on...

Joe Smith said...

'Palo Alto? No need to ship in from Texas. Every town south (San Jose, Santa Clara, Mountain View, ...) and North (San Fran) is already flooded, and has been for many years.'

Yes, but with gardeners and pool cleaners.

Palo Alto and the tonier towns of NorCal don't stand for sleeping in doorways, soup kitchens, and pissing on the sidewalk.

If a sketchy person even thinks about hanging around Atherton, they will be moved along...

Kev said...

I would agree with this even if it weren't government housing. If someone were to tell me that we needed even more undocumented immigrants, my question for that person would be, "So how many of them will you personally be taking in?"

They would probably come back with a lame response such as "That's the government's responsibility, not mine." I would then remind them that relying on the government to do charitable acts is a very passive--indeed, lazy--form of compassion. It's easy to think you're being compassionate if you're using other people's money.

ccscientist said...

5000? pffft. That is the daily influx in some texas counties.

JAORE said...

I'd develop a brochure of the generous benefits by sanctuary cities and states. Then I'd screen the places by which are "toss-up" area. Hold public meetings telling of the streets paved with gold and pass out bus tickets to all interested.

It might be good PR for the DC Mayor to cry out. It might do LASTING good to change some votes via reality.

(Atlanta seems particularly ripe. I lived there for years. Brown people are viewed as taking government funds from black folk. And they don't like it one bit.)

Yes! Decolonize those dorms! How many tens of thousands of illegal aliens could be housed and fed in the dorms of the public universities? Not to mention medical care. Looking at my intersectionality venn diagram, it is clear that the illegal aliens are at the bottom of the oppressor/oppressed duality. Everyone is an oppressor of an illegal alien, so in the name of social justice all students must give up their beds and their rooms. It is, after all, only fair!

Reductio ad absurdum or logical conclusion?

I am a fan of Chappaqua and Martha's Vineyard myself.

Rabel said...

The story doesn't mention it but the DC Guard, with no Governor in the mix, is under the direct command of the President. No "federalization" is required.

So if the National Guard hits the streets in DC to control the illegals it will be on Biden's orders.

Could be awkward.

These are the same clowns who didn't want them there in the first place and proved it by treating them like shit afterwards.

Tina Trent said...

JAORE: I worked in refugee resettlement in Atlanta. We completely displaced the residents of the suburb of Clarkston, while the national media called said residents racists for not submitting to battling clans of Somalis and Afghanis taking over their homeland, as it were.

But the most interesting culture wars occurred at the housing project a few blocks from my home. First "we" displaced some longtime residents with Bosnians. Then Katrina displacement brought camps of rival black American gang members to meet our homegrown ones. So we has illegal Mexican gangs, Crips and Bloods and who knows what else, and war hardened Bosnians.

Guess who won.

Michael K said...

DC is the perfect place to flood with illegals. They are sitting in their big houses and collecting their big federal paychecks or salaries from the corporations that pay them to lobby. Why not do a bit to reduce their comfort at screwing everyone else ?

Tomcc said...

Tina Trent- if you ever write a book, I'd love to read it. Terrific observations.

Mason G said...

"Illegals voting plus cheat machine corruptocrats = Soviet Dems rule forever."

Keep sending the illegals to Democrat cities. Then their votes don't matter.

I'm waiting for Muriel Bowser or Eric Adams to put the blame on Biden.

I guess I'll be waiting a long, long time.

I lived in and around DC most of my working life. It's a reasonable location to settle a bunch of illegal immigrants. For one thing, when their hearings come up, they'll be right near the agency HQ. Don't ignore MD and VA though.

Yea, bus all the illegals up there. Make it a Million illegal march.

And so? The so called "riots" didn't last a full day. National Guard members are not sitting in a barracks at a base somewhere training and working at National Guard matters. They're at home, at work watching their kids, shopping, doing everything else a civilian does, because, they are for all practical purposes, civilians when not on duty. Unshined shoes? Unshaven? Lounging outside in a plain white T-shirt? Doesn't matter- they're not on duty.

And- they don't have pre-written deployment plans for everything- since they can be called to do anything. I sincerely doubt most National Guard armories have a full array of riot control gear for the attached units. Probably comes from a central storage depot. I'd say 24 hours after a call before the first properly equipped troops with a basic briefing can show up. There's 1100 or so Marines at the Marine Corps Barracks- you could probably get 100 of them in an hour. Followed by a national uproar over doing so...
