Remember When Anyone Who Criticized Sanctuary States and Cities Was a Racist Xenophobe? Not Anymore!!!!

The Inevitability Factor. When Reality Reaches It's Apex.  And Reality Bites.

 By Rich Kozlovich 

Over the years I've read a lot about why New York goes Democrat based on the dominance of NYC with it's over eight million voters.  Is this really true though?

In NYC Democrats outnumber Republicans almost two to one, but if you add in those with no party affiliation, it becomes around three to one. But what about the rest of the state? It turns out the numbers are also about two to one, and with those with no party affiliation, it's about two and a half to one statewide.  Okay, so, what's the point of all this.  

 (11 Sanctuary States:  California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington.)

There are eleven sanctuary states, and New York is one of them, and they chose the nitwits who made New York a sanctuary state.  It isn't like they didn't know their views and policies.  They were quite clear about their views, so since the people of New York voted for these halfwits, we can now reasonably conclude after all that virtue signaling and finger pointing, they're just xenophobic racists after all. 

Remember all that virtue signaling claiming illegal immigration was a huge benefit for America?  Well, the border states, especially Florida and Texas, decided it was unfair for them to horde all those benefits for themselves, so they decided to share them with the Sanctuary cities and states, and shipped them off to places like New York City.  They also sent a bunch to Martha's Vineyard.  Who shipped them out just as fast as they could.  Apparently they, like Texas and Florida, felt it was unfair to hoard all those benefits illegal aliens brought to their "sanctuary" city and decided to let others reap those rewards instead. So, they sent them on their way, just as quickly as they could.   

Now, before we proceed, let's properly define who these people really are.  They're criminals.  They've entered this nation illegally, and that makes them criminals.  

That brings me back to New York City, a Sanctuary City, and their remarkable new Mayor, Eric Adams who apparently thinks these illegal aliens aren't beneficial after all, in fact, he claims they're a problem, and it's "unfair" for NYC to bear such a burden.  It seems NYC Mayor Adams has opened a migrant camp that will cost the taxpayers of New York City a mere twenty million dollars a month, and Gov. Kathy Hochul has created a jobs program for these criminals even though over 380 thousand New Yorkers are unemployed.

Wow! Reality bites and all that virtue signaling has turned into a self made immigration crisis.  They've put them up in hotels to the tune of three hundred dollars a day, where many of these criminals are out of control, city services are being slashed in order to pay for all this, and the city is ignoring all the crimes being committed by these criminals, and again, they are criminals as they entered this country illegally, and now Adams says they've no place to put them.  

So now Mayor Adams, a political and intellectual giant standing tall amongst ordinary mortals, has an idea.  Have the people of New York City house them, along with owners of vacant property, by force of law if necessary by changing zoning restrictions that would allow commercial office space to be converted into apartments, and force the owners to accept them, whether the owners like it or not, and do it in spite of the fact these criminals have trashed the hotels they were housed in. 

Let's keep this in perspective, the number he's dealing with is a fraction of what the border states are facing, and it turns out all that virtue signaling is breaking them.  Adams claims all these illegal aliens  are destroying the city, and eventually that will include the neighborhoods.  Wow!  It's clear Adams was really great at talking the talk, but he's incapable of walking the talk, and one can only conclude, Adams must not be a giant among men after all.  He must be a racist. 

In Guy Benson's August 15, 2023 article, What Exactly Do They Think 'Sanctuary' Means?, he says:

We've covered the subject of hypocrisy and virtue signaling among Democrat-led "sanctuary" jurisdictions pretty extensively in recent years.  It's basically been impossible not to notice the yawning, political disconnect between leaders' preening rhetoric and policy preferences during the previous administration, and their incoherent meltdowns when directly confronted with the consequences of their stated preferences and alleged principles throughout the Biden border crisis.  We've seen this in places ranging from Martha's Vineyard, to Chicago, to California, and beyond.  But ground zero for this phenomenon might be New York City, where officials' 180 degree heel turn has been quite a sight to behold.

There is yet another beneficial aspect to the bussing of illegals to welcoming, open-armed blue destinations that hasn’t yet been mentioned. A large part of the purpose in allowing illegals into the country involves using them to punish and harass the working and middle classes – particularly the White elements. So there’s no mystery as to why illegals have been brought into the country and then deliberately dispatched to blue-collar and middle-class towns across the U.S. Things like that don’t just happen, comrades – they’re made to happen

Let's move on to another virtue signally sanctuary state, New Jersey, where Gov. Chris Murphy in 2017 is quite clear saying this about Trump's policy on illegal immigration: 

“We will stand up to this President. If need be, we will be a sanctuary not just city but state.”

But now, wait for it, here it comes, it turns out now, they don’t want to be a Sanctuary State after all.  It turns out reality bites, and they don't have the resources and can't afford it. Amazing, so, by their own standards, he too is a blatant racist!

Then we have Chicago, where residents, black residents, are upset they plan to house 300 of these criminals in a Hyde Park area motel.  Are they racists also? When black residents complained about this, far left Alderman Andre Vasquez called them racists who are dividing the Democrat party. So apparently Democrats, black Democrats, are also xenophobes and racists.

The federal government under the Biden Administration is spending hundreds of millions of dollars promoting this insanity,  and that's the tip of the iceberg"

Illegal immigration imposes an enormous burden on American taxpayers. Annually, the 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. costs taxpayers more than $143 billion. That amount, though, does not include any of the social and economic costs — such as higher housing prices, depleted wages, lost jobs, increased crime, and strained public resources at hospitals and schools — associated with illegal immigration.

Immigration is destroying America, both legal and illegal.  Immigrants bring their own values with them, and with many of these immigrants those values are antithetical, and destructive to American values.   Biden's bringing disaster to America, and it's clearly intentional.

What are Americans doing about it?  Running away from these cities, and states, just as fast as they can.  But where can people go where this national policy disaster won't catch up to them?  Even here in Ohio, where we're not a sanctuary state, illegal immigration has become an issue, and people are saying we've had it, and enough is enough.   

That needs to be a national consensus.
