How it started...

How it's going...



New York Mayor Eric Adams warned the crowd at a Wednesday night town hall that the migrant crisis will 'destroy New York City,' and slammed the Biden administration for doing nothing about the problem they created.

"I’m gonna tell you something, New Yorkers, never in my life have I had a problem that I didn’t see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this," he said.

How is being a Sanctuary City working out, eh? Sorry to sound like a broken record.

Dem Lawmakers Vote For Leftism In Lockstep, While Republicans Routinely Abandon Conservatism, Analysis Finds

Democrat state lawmakers are more unified and committed to a leftist ideology than Republican lawmakers are to conservatism, according to a report from the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Republicans voted for conservative policies 77% of the time, while Democrats voted for liberal policies 87% of the time, according to the analysis of all 7,400 lawmakers in the 50 statehouses during last year’s legislative sessions.

The study by CPAC’s affiliated Center for Legislative Accountability concluded that Democrats were more likely to “stick together” on issues important to the party’s base, while Republicans “broke apart.”

“Republicans run on conservative promises, but after they win more of them abandon the tough votes on key conservative policies when compared to Democrats whose first rule is to stick together,” the group said. “Our analysis shows how moderate Republicans broke apart on key issues like parental choice in education, securing strong voter ID, or putting a stop to COVID mandates.”

The Democrats lockstep with the left. Republicans are less conservative.

Chicago's O'Hare Airport used as a migrant shelter as crisis overwhelms city: 'Like a scene from Mad Max'

Chicago leaders are facing backlash over hundreds of migrants being housed at O'Hare International Airport, one of the nation's busiest airports.

Chicago reporter William Kelly joined "Fox & Friends" Thursday to discuss what the city has been experiencing as a result of the influx of migrants.

More than 400 migrants are reportedly being housed in a section of the airport, hidden from public view behind black curtains, up from 31 at the beginning of August.

Kelly said the airport is one of only 18 migrant shelters in Chicago and that homeless Americans are no longer allowed to stay at the airport. The city previously struggled with an influx of homeless people at the airport but initiated a crackdown earlier this year after then-Mayor Lori Lightfoot faced criticism.

"Mayor Johnson campaigned as the people's mayor. Sadly, the people are telling me that he's the migrants' mayor," said Kelly.

Migrants are housed at O'Hare International Airport. How is that working out?

Will those "Migrants" get security screened before being set loose in a major international air hub? Obviously, to ask is to answer.

Nah, free pass for these illegals because you know as Nanny Pelosi said that someone has to pick the crops in Florida.

There was a time when potentially legal immigrants mostly passed through Ellis Island and had to be tested for every disease or be sent back or quarantined. Now the left and the Biden administration has rung the dinner bell and everyone is welcome.

New York City was a filthy, crowded, smelly place long before the migrant crisis.

I wonder if they screened the millions they turned loose all over the country, NOT.

And now biden wants to give them $2,200.00 along with FREE healthcare and education and what ever else they want

I wish I were joking, but apparently the LIEden MalAdministration is trying to work out a Remain In Texas policy.

I'm shocked.  Really.  Cannot believe they would attempt such a thing.

They all should be sent to Delaware

The lurkers from Rio Linda never learned how to sound out that drippy word you're using. That, and you didn't write it in crayon (the big fat kind you wrap your whole fist around)...
