More Illegal Immigrants en Route from Texas to Muriel Bowser's D.C.

August 12, 2022 by Hannah Bleau Leave a Comment

More illegal immigrants in Del Rio, Texas, are en route to Mayor Muriel Bowser’s Washington, DC, as the Democrat said the situation is reaching a “tipping point” while Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) ships illegals to sanctuary cities.

A Thursday video shows another busload of migrants preparing to arrive in the nation’s capital:

The video comes weeks after Bowser, who has historically supported sanctuary city policies, activated the National Guard to assist with the influx of illegal immigrants flooding the city.

“We are very focused and we continue to be very focused on having the federal government do its part and take the lead in addressing what we see as a growing humanitarian crisis. … We’re going to continue to pursue federal involvement,” she said at the time.

“We need space and we need the federal government to be involved so I’ve asked for the deployment of the Guard as long as we need the Guard to deal with the humanitarian crisis that we expect to escalate,” Bowser continued.

Over 4,000 have arrived in the city in recent weeks following Gov. Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, bussing illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities such as D.C. and New York City.

“In addition to Washington, D.C., New York City is the ideal destination for these migrants, who can receive the abundance of city services and housing that Mayor Eric Adams has boasted about within the sanctuary city,” Abbott said in a statement.

“I hope he follows through on his promise of welcoming all migrants with open arms so that our overrun and overwhelmed border towns can find relief,” he added.

In an August 1 letter addressed to both Bowser and NYC Mayor Eric Adams (D), Abbott explained that President Biden’s “reckless open border policies have created a dangerous environment not only for tens of millions of Texans, but for communities all across the nation, including yours”:

We agree that this crisis demands immediate federal action to prevent the flood of deadly fentanyl, now the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18 to 45, the unimaginable horrors caused by human smuggling and trafficking, the known terrorists from entering our country, and the countless other crimes that have been committed by the hundreds of thousands of “gotaways” that the Biden Administration has let slip through. 

“I look forward to welcoming you the Texas-Mexico border so that you can see this crisis for yourself,” he added. 

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) has echoed Bowser’s sentiments, seeking a federal response rather than examining her state’s policies that incentivize illegal immigration:

Hochul has wholly ignored the issues caused by her state’s immigration policies, including the “Green Light law,” which allows illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), a GOP gubernatorial candidate, is among those who have called on New York to take action and cease “incentivizing” illegal entry.

“I’m not here to pass blame on a Democrat or Republican policy,” Hochul said. “This cries out for a federal response.”

DC Mayor Bowser renews call for DC National Guard assistance amid influx of migrants

August 11, 2022 by Alex Nitzberg Leave a Comment

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, is asking for the D.C. National Guard to be deployed to help the city contend with the influx of migrants arriving in the region, a request that comes after the city’s prior request for D.C. National Guard assistance was denied.

“The District of Columbia writes to provide additional information to support our July 19 request to deploy the DC National Guard (DCNG) to help prevent a prolonged humanitarian crisis in our nation’s capital resulting from the daily arrival of migrants in need of assistance,” Bowser wrote in an August 11 letter to U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.


u201cWe need help from our federal partners as we seek to stabilize and manage our operating environment in this critical moment.nnI have been honored to work with the men and women of the DC National Guard many times and today we renewed our request for their assistance.u201d

Month after month, the nation’s southern border is inundated by massive flows of migrants coming into the country.

But some migrants have been heading to D.C. from the states of Texas and Arizona, where the states’ Republican governors have been busing migrants who voluntarily take the trip.

In a letter last month, Christopher Rodriguez, the director of the D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency, requested the help of the D.C. National Guard on behalf of Mayor Bowser. The letter declared that “the Governors of Texas and Arizona are making a political statement to the federal government, and instead, their actions are having direct impacts on city and regional resources in ways that are unsustainable.”

That request was later rebuffed by the Defense Department, which is why Bowser is now trying again.

In the new letter requesting the D.C. National Guard, Bowser wrote that, “our hope is that the DCNG can aid in strengthening local efforts beginning August 22 and extending for the next 90 days. We need help from our federal partners as we seek to stabilize and manage our operating environment in this critical moment.”

Democrat Mayor Bowser, Now Opposing Migrant Buses, Longtime Supporter of D.C. Sanctuary City Policy

August 9, 2022 by Jacob Bliss and John Binder Leave a Comment

Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser, who requested the National Guard deal with busloads of border crossers and illegal aliens, has long rallied behind Washington, D.C.’s, sanctuary city policy.

Thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in sanctuary cities like Washington, D.C., and New York City after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) started the busing policy months ago.

In recent weeks, Bowser has decried the migrant buses, suggesting that D.C. is at a “tipping point” as a result of Abbott’s policy. American border communities, though, have been forced to absorb 10 times as many border crossers and illegal aliens, often with little-to-no help from the federal government.

Most recently, Bowser asked Biden to activate the D.C. National Guard, a request that was rejected by his Pentagon. A recent report detailed how Biden is concerned about “the optics” of Democrat mayors like Bowser suddenly opposing illegal immigration.

Cartel Chronicles

That sudden opposition comes after years of Bowser supporting D.C.’s sanctuary city policy where criminal illegal aliens are shielded from arrest and deportation by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.

In 2016, Bowser posted on her social media that she “will not let the residents of D.C. live in fear” because D.C. “is and will continue to be a sanctuary city.” Bowser said her support for sanctuary jurisdictions hinges on a false claim that illegal aliens do not report crimes to police if they believe they could be deported.

A 2021 study from the Center for Immigration Studies reveals that “there is no evidence … that crimes against immigrants are reported to police at lower rates than crimes against the native-born.”

In June 2017, Bowser called for D.C. residents to tear down flyers posing as an ICE public notice that listed a series of federal immigration crimes including harboring illegal aliens as well as aiding and abetting illegal aliens.

“Tear it down! D.C. is a sanctuary city,” Bowser wrote. “Clearly the flyer is meant to scare and divide our residents. We won’t stand for it.”

Bowser has not been the only pro-sanctuary city Democrat mayor to swiftly oppose illegal immigration to their city.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D), with a record of supporting sanctuary jurisdictions, has called the migrant buses arriving from Texas “horrific” and suggested this week that he may bus New Yorkers to Texas to oppose Abbott’s reelection.

“And I am deeply contemplating taking a busload of new Yorkers to go to Texas and do some good old-fashioned door knocking because we have to for the good of America,” Adams said. “We have to get him out of office.”

Abbott is mapping out other Democrat-run sanctuary cities to send migrant buses to.

DOD turns down far-left DC mayor's request for help with illegals bused into her sanctuary city

August 5, 2022 by Joseph MacKinnon Leave a Comment

On August 5, the Department of Defense denied D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s request for the National Guard to help her with the thousands of illegal aliens that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has bused into the city since April.

Kelly Bulliner Holly, the executive secretary of the DOD, responded to Bowser’s July 19 letter to the office of Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin, writing: “After careful consideration the Department has concluded it cannot fulfill your request.”

Holly highlighted the fact that the city already has access to federal funding through SAMU First Response, a non-governmental organization that has itself received funding via the Emergency Food and Shelter Program by FEMA. Responding to the language of Bowser’s request that the influx of over 4,000 illegals constitutes a “humanitarian crisis,” Holly noted that SAMU First Response “supplements funding for humanitarian relief efforts by government and social service organizations for the purposes of providing shelter and supportive services to families and individuals.”

In 2016, Bowser asserted that D.C. was a sanctuary city: “We celebrate our diversity and respect all DC residents no matter their immigration status.”

Bowser’s perceived inconsistency now in light of her concern over the recent influx of illegals has been the subject of some ridicule online in recent days.

While Breanna Morello suggested that the request for support by the National Guard might be tantamount to bigotry, Paul Szypula intimated that Bowser might be prejudiced against foreign nationals.

Abbott’s office recently suggested to the D.C. mayor that this “crisis” is only a fraction of the disaster” unfolding at the southern border.

In April, Abbott — whom Bowser has since accused of engaging in “cruel political gamesmanship” — said of his campaign to send illegals to D.C.: “What better place for them to go to than … closer to the people making these policies that are allowing people to come across the border illegally?”

On August 4, one day prior to the DOD’s denial of additional help, Abbott warned that there are “more buses on the way.”

Texas has allegedly sent more than 6,500 immigrants to D.C. and is now in the process of sending illegal aliens from the border to New York City.

Abbott invites sanctuary city mayors to see border crisis up close and personal — and one has already rejected the offer

August 2, 2022 by Chris Enloe Leave a Comment

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) extended two Democratic mayors an invitation to the Lone Star State after they complained about an influx of migrants to their cities.

What did Abbott say?

Abbott wrote New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) and Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) inviting them to receive a first-hand experience of the border crisis that has plagued Texas for nearly all of President Joe Biden’s tenure.

“Your recent interest in this historic and preventable crisis is a welcome development—especially as the President and his Administration have shown no remorse for their actions nor desire to address the situation themselves,” Abbott wrote.

“As Governor, I invite you to visit our border region to see firsthand the dire situation that only grows more urgent with each passing day, and to meet with the local officials, who like yourselves, realize this matter deserves immediate federal action. I also ask you to join me in requesting President Biden secure the border and put an end to this disastrous crisis,” he added.

The letter directly attributed the border crisis to Biden’s “reckless open border policies.”

“We agree that this crisis demands immediate federal action,” Abbott wrote. “I look forward to welcoming you the Texas-Mexico border so that you can see this crisis for yourself.”

What is the background?

Both New York City and Washington, D.C., are “sanctuary cities” for illegal immigrants. But that has not stopped city leaders from complaining about migrants flooding their cities, a glaring symptom of the ongoing border crisis.

Bowser, for example, is demanding more federal resources to address the influx of migrants, including the activation of the D.C. National Guard. Over 5,000 migrants have been bussed to the nation’s capital since April.

Texas began sending them to Biden’s doorstep to deliver a message highlighting the federal government’s inaction over the border crisis.

Adams is also demanding federal intervention after thousands of migrants flooded into the Big Apple in recent months, overwhelming the city’s shelter system. Adams blamed Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) for sending the migrants there, but both governors denied those accusations.

Unfortunately, Adams has already rejected Abbott’s invitation.

“Instead of a photo-op at the border, we hope Governor Abbott will focus his energy and resources on providing support and resources to asylum seekers in Texas as we have been hard at work doing in New York City,” said Adams’ press secretary Fabien Levy.
