Washington, D.C.’s mayor is criticizing two border states for busing illegal immigrants to the nation’s capital, which bills itself as a sanctuary city.
Texas and Arizona authorities have for months been offering free rides to illegal aliens who have claimed asylum, citing a lack of resources in dealing with the immigrants and the hope that sending them to Washington will help convince President Joe Biden to increase immigration enforcement amid a record number of arrests at the border.
But Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, another Democrat, is not on board.
“This is a very significant issue. We have, for sure, called on the federal government to work across state lines to prevent people from really being tricked into getting on buses. We think they’re largely asylum seekers who are going to final destinations that are not Washington, D.C.,” Bowser said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on July 17.
“I worked with the White House to make sure that FEMA provided a grant to a local organization that is providing services to folks. But I fear that they’re being tricked into nationwide bus trips when their final destinations are places all over the United States of America,” she added.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, wrote on Twitter: “Welcome to our world, @MayorBowser. Now work with your party, your Congress, and your President to do something about it.”
Was just in a hotel in Virginia not far from D.c. extended stay, 2 busses pulled in, and 40 rooms were filled withb2 each just like that.
Talked to the desk guy amd he said the top two floors are leases for the next 450 days amd they get two busses every Sunday. I told him they were illegals and he said there are two other hotels in that town doing g the same thing.
