Dozens of asylum-seekers, all in the country illegally, are complaining that New York City wants to move them from their current housing in a three-star Manhattan hotel to a less cushy site in Brooklyn. They are protesting what they call "discrimination against immigrants" and refusing to budge, loathe to leave their mini-bars and en suite bathrooms.
Naturally, in a city famous for sky-high rents and tiny apartments – one 80 square-foot home costing $650 per month made headlines recently -- this attitude is none too popular.
Kudos to Governors Abbott of Texas, DeSantis of Florida, and Ducey of Arizona for making every state a border state. Were it not for those officials sending tens of thousands of migrants north to cities like Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., those Americans hostage to what the liberal media chooses to report would still be unaware of the flood of people entering the country illegally across our southern border.
As it is, the cost of the estimated 5.5 million undocumented people who have crossed into the U.S. while President Joe Biden has been president is being shared by blue and red states alike. While many of those people have been deported, more than one million have been allowed to stay at least temporarily. Another estimated million or so have disappeared into the shadows, off the radar.
