Democrat Governors and Mayors Throw Hissy Fits at Each Other Over Shipping Illegal Aliens Back and Forth

0


Let’s begin with one of life’s truths. The American Democrat Party is the most hypocritical organization on the face of the earth. Yeah, I know; you already knew that — but this article will more than illustrate that truth.

When Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis first began shipping busloads of illegal aliens to northern “sanctuary cities,” state and local Democrat leader lost their ever-loving hypocritical minds. 

Welp, as more and more illegals continued to find their way north, plaguing cities like New York City, Chicago, and even Denver, a funny thing happened to the sanctuary-city mindset: “We gotta get these illegals outta here!” 

Hence, as first reported by the Chicago Sun-Times last Thursday, Democrat governors and mayors in affected areas have been fighting among themselves over shipping illegal aliens back and forth. 

The back-and-forth hissy fits have grown particularly snitty between Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker. According to the Sun-Times report:

“The Illinois governor [J.B. Pritzker ] said that, in the meantime, migrants were being sent to Denver, which was then sending them to Chicago, which Pritzker called ‘unhelpful.’ He said Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis told him, ‘We’re not telling people to go to Chicago. They’re just getting off the bus and saying they’d like to go to Chicago.’ I said, ‘Come on. That’s not the case. You know, you guys are buying tickets to Chicago.’ I said to him, ‘We can do the same thing back, and we’re not going to. This is not how we should be operating.’”

Such a shame, huh? Two Democrat governors going after one another like cats in the alley over a crisis with which they were perfectly content — as long as it remained in southern border states. 

Pritzker also took a shot at NYC Mayor Eric Adams, among the biggest hypocrites of them all with respect to illegal aliens.

There’s actually a list that I handed to the mayor of Chicago [Brandon Johnson] since he is close to the mayors. I said, ‘Here’s a list of how many people have been sent to Chicago. You should call each mayor, starting with the mayor of New York, and tell them, “You’ve got to stop doing that.”

Did you just spit whatever you might be drinking all over your screen? I have a better idea for Gov. Pritzker: How ’bout you call Joe Biden and tell him: “You’ve got to stop doing that?” 

The Sun-Times also reached out to Chicago’s former disastrous mayor, Lori Lightfoot — with Brandon Johnson being the current disastrous mayor —about illegal aliens shipped from Colorado to the Windy City. Lightfoot told the paper:

He [Gov. Polis] didn’t stop until we outed him in public. We sent him a letter. We released it to the press, and then they decided, ‘Oh, I’m getting bad publicity.’ I mean, it was just, it was the crassest form of politics that I think I’ve experienced in quite a long time. 

Oh, please.

Polis might very well be “crass,” but Lori Lightfoot — of all people — accusing anyone of “the crassest form of politics” takes the hypocritical cake by a mile.

Finally, Pritzker told the Sun-Times that when illegals first began to arrive in Chicago, he didn’t think it was that big of a deal.

I did not regard it as a threat. Even when the first buses arrived, I just viewed it as a stunt and did not think this was going to be 40,000 people arriving. Because how would you know? And they certainly weren’t telling anybody.

And Lightfoot called the arrival of illegal “an ambush.” (I wonder if Ms. Lightfoot saw the irony in the term.)

In those early days, we really didn’t get much in the way of a heads-up. We didn’t know anything about numbers, who was on the manifest of these buses, what their situation was, who they were, what their countries of origin were, what, if any, medical needs. We really got next to no information. It was like an ambush. That’s what it felt like.

Mind-numbing hypocrisy at its “best.”

The Bottom Line

While Texas border towns like Eagle Pass and El Paso, along with Arizona’s Tucson sector and El Paso, New Mexico, suffer from hundreds of thousands of illegal alien invaders on an ongoing basis, Illinois, Colorado, and New York Democrat politicians pitch fits at one another over a fraction of the reality facing southern border cities and towns.

Given the depth of the left’s hypocrisy, I find their whining satisfyingly humorous.
