In We’re All Coyotes Now, I described some of New York City’s convoluted efforts to take the migrants being sent and send them somewhere else, like Canada.
Last month, New York City’s Mayor Eric Adams was pleading with Colorado’s Governor Jared Polis to stop busing migrants to New York City. And then Adams began busing migrants to Canada. Now Quebec’s Premier Francois Legault is warning Adams to stop doing it. New York City was already busing migrants to Florida.
Overloaded and low on options, NYC is building its own refugee resettlement machine.
Mayor Eric Adams announced a shift in policy on asylum-seekers that includes a more formal process of resettling migrants throughout the state and in other cities across the country.
The administration plans to brief more migrants on relocation opportunities and work with national nonprofits to identify welcoming cities across the country where they might move, Adams said. Additionally, the state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance will oversee a $25 million program to help resettle migrant families in municipalities elsewhere in New York.
We don’t want them, but hey, maybe you do?
With each migrant costing an estimated $10K a month, heading into the billions in total, spending $25 million to get rid of them is a drop in the bucket.
Adams is taking a cue from the federal government. Unlike the feds, he has no authority to do actual resettlement outside his own borders, but with refugee resettlement trojan horses already set up everywhere, he doesn’t need it.
“There are cities in the state and across the country that … want to play the role,” the mayor said. “They realize that this is a national problem.”
Nah there aren’t. Take Adams’ word for it.
The mayor, for instance, said he did not want to reveal the names of partner cities that are planning to host more migrants for fear of souring those relationships.
“Please don’t ask me which cities because I don’t need you running to the cities and stopping them,” he told reporters at the announcement.
This has real “I’ve got a girlfriend, she’s in Canada” vibes.
And yet the media keeps telling us that we desperately need more third worlders.
Immigrants Could Help Labor Shortage, Democrats, Republicans Oppose It – Insider
Immigrants Could Fix Iowa’s Health Care Labor Shortage – Des Moines Register
Want a Fix for the U.S. Labor Shortage? Try Immigration Reform
Despite this supposed labor shortage, nobody actually wants this horde of migrants in real life. Could the media possibly be lying to us? Hard to believe, I know, but we have to consider the improbable possibility.
I like the idea. Grant Democrats Canadian citizenship. Then deport them.
We can just send the Big Apple a few dozen Bus Loads of so called refugees they can set up in the yards of the Mayor and City Council and the Open Border fools I mean Texas has the right idea
There are more Latinos in California than whites. Blacks are down to 5%. I noticed some decades ago that due to housing price increases in the SF Bay Area, black homeowners were selling and moving back to the south or other areas where they could get a new house for half the price.
Wow, I had no idea the black population in California had dropped so low. By dem/leftists’ standards, California is a de-facto racist anti-black state. Maybe those reparations will bring some in, and I’m sure the type that show up will be real prizes. I suspect some of the black flight from California is also because hispanics are the majority, and the black race card is losing its’ value there. The high cost of living for the productive there is probably the primary reason working and business people of all races are bailing on California. I’m sure the state inflicted shortage of water and electricity is a factor too.
Thanks Cowboy, a lot of people don’t know about that. MSM always distorts the picture to make it look like there are more of them.
I am amused once again because of this article. The best one is that “Immigrants could fix Iowa’s health care labor shortage.” That would be a neat trick because most of the illegal aliens have little or no education, cannot speak the English language, and many have all sorts of problems. But that okay. the people don’t mind having one of them do surgery on them all in the name of DEI. Remember, diversity is America’s strength.
So, if you are on an operating table and you look up and see an Afghan come in to operate on you, who was a refugee that recently was flown to America, run for your life.
More humor for the evening.
