That’s not what I said, and you know it. It was only a political issue because it was created to be one. Without the news and Republicans saying it was an issue, 99.9% of people wouldn’t know anything about it. It was manufactured.
For Adams and his big city counterparts, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, there’s much more to the issue than coordinating bus drop-offs.
The three mayors are collectively calling for additional federal support to manage the influx of migrants, calling it a national humanitarian crisis that demands a national solution.
“Our cities are working shoulder-to-shoulder to support newcomers, but it’s time for the federal government to increase work authorization, create a coordinated entry strategy, and provide more federal dollars to ensure cities can manage this crisis and help newcomers thrive,” Johnston said in a joint online statement this week.
The mayors are “going to extreme lengths to avoid fulfilling their self-declared sanctuary city promises,” Renae Eze, a spokesperson for Abbott, told CNN. “Instead of attacking Texas’ efforts to provide relief to our overwhelmed border communities, these Democrat mayors should call on their party leader to finally do his job and secure the border – something he continues refusing to do.”
