Another Dem Gov Cries For 'Urgent Assistance' Dealing With Biden's Illegals
It was only a matter of time before we started to hear from other Democrats calling for help in their states and cities as the Biden border crisis continues. The Boston Globe reported details about the latest border crisis victim to fold:
"Governor Charlie Baker implored President Biden to provide “urgent assistance” to help resettle thousands of migrants who have streamed into Massachusetts in recent months, asking for increased housing and employment benefits, as well as funding for local nonprofits helping them.
The governor’s request, made Monday, comes at a time when the state’s homeless shelters are so overwhelmed by the influx of migrants — most entering the country at the US-Mexico border — that the Baker administration has resorted to placing approximately 100 families, many from Central America and Haiti, in hotels.
In an interview on GBH radio last week, Baker called the scale of immigration at the southern border a “crisis.” “The numbers are staggering,” he said, “and they are going to affect lots of states, including ours.”
Why are Democrats so surprised? A piece by National Review revealed that they're not. They're just all to terrified to speak up. No one on the left wants to speak out against the dismantling of Trump-era border protections.
Oh but wait...
Just before the midterms Biden's administration declared that the borders were 'secure', didn't they? I wonder how the 'ignore and deny' method is working for states finding themselves drawing the short straw.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Chris Magnus resigned after top Biden administration officials threatened to fire the border chief if he refused to step down.
Magnus initially denied the resignation request from Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas, who said he would recommend President Joe Biden dismiss Magnus after losing confidence in leadership at the border. However, following an interview with The Los Angeles Times, where Magnus expressed a lack of justification to give notice, he complied with the bid from DHS officials. But he said his defiance of an order not to meet with border patrol chiefs in El Paso this week, and his refusal to extend a “retention” bonus for Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz, prompted Tuesday’s quit-or-be-fired ultimatum from Mayorkas.
