States start shipping them immigrants to sanctuary cities and Democrats start changing their tune.

The mayor of New York traveled to the Mexican border city of El Paso on Sunday and declared that "there is no room in New York" for busloads of migrants being sent to America's most populous city.

Eric Adams, a Democrat, was also critical of the administration of Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden, saying "now is the time for the national government to do its job" about the immigrant crisis at America's southern border.

The visit of a New York mayor to a southern border city about the issue of immigrants is unprecedented.

Busloads of migrants have been shipped north to New York and other cities by Republican run states. That has exacerbated a housing crisis in New York and a worsening homeless crisis in the city.

Adams's trip to El Paso comes after he said the migrant influx into New York could cost the city as much as $2 billion, at a time when the city is already facing a major budget shortfall.

In recent months the Republican governors of Florida and Texas have sent thousands of migrants seeking sanctuary in the U.S. to cities run by Democratic politicians, including New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C.

There is NO workable solution to the migrant problem on this end unless it's accompanied by measure taken on the other end.

If we wish to stem the flow of illegal immigrants coming into this country, it is in America's interest to enact a Marshall Plan for Central/South American countries. Help them to shore up their gov'ts, allow them to clean out the gangs, and stabilize their economies. Only the most desperate people travel thousands of miles on foot/in semi trailers to find a safer/better place to live. They'll stay where they were born if they can live decent lives. We did it for European countries after WWII, we could do it now. One thing is certain: the flow of migrants will never slow as long as their countries of origin remain broken.

So true Clem, and it needs to quit being a political issue and just become an American issue.
Actually that could be said for all the issues, but the politicians want to keep it political so that they don't have to come up with solutions and can blame the other side for nothing being done, all while maintaining their power and benefits of being in office.

I think this is where the argument often gets misconstrued, as we do allow immigrants into the country, we just ask that they come through legally.

Should we allow more, should it be easier for the less fortunate? I can't answer those questions or why the numbers are what they are, but we cannot just allow free unchecked entry, and uncontrolled numbers. There is not a country in the world that has open immigration with no constraints.
