Washington, D.C.'s homeless shelters are filling up because Texas Governor Greg Abbott is sending busloads of migrants from his state to the nation's capital, Mayor Muriel Bowser claimed Sunday morning.
The D.C. mayor is requesting that Abbott stop preventing migrants from getting to their final destinations.
Arizona's Governor Doug Ducey followed Abbott's lead earlier this summer as they both started sending migrants from their respective states to D.C. to take some of the load off of the migration crisis hitting border states.
Due to this initiative, homeless shelters in the nation's capital are starting to cap out with these asylum-seekers.

I’m telling you again: you don’t have to cross the River.
Any environs of Alexandria, Arlington, Falls Church, and especially McLean will work, too.

Oh so she hates that Hispanics are taking up space reserved for DC African Americans in the shelters? Bowser is showing her racist views now.

They need to ship lots of them to the Hamptons, Martha's Vineyard, northern Virginia, Massachusetts, and many other liberal strongholds so the libs can get a taste of their own policies up close and real. They want to dump them on the American people, which likely doesn't include the listed state and areas.

Good list, Poster 8. Respectfully, here is another location, Kennebunkport, summer home of the compassionate conservative Bush family. Send busloads of illegals there as “an act of love.”

Please stop using the stupid term ''migrant''. They are illegal aliens.
They are not migrating. Human beings are not migratory. If they were migrating, they would be traveling back and forth based on the seasons. They are coming here to live in a modern 1st world country rather than a backwards third world hell hole. It is much easier to leave than to fix their own countries. Their claiming asylum is a way to game the bureaucratic system. An asylum claim means that they are not immediately returned across the border but are given a court date to adjudicate their claim. They could have requested asylum from the US consulate in their own country or from the first safe country that they enter. Instead, they enter the US illegally and if caught they claim asylum.

#8 - Let’s not forget Silicone Valley where the nutters who are masters of the Metaverse reside. They need to feel the pain, too. Let their children be raped and murdered as well. I know that sounds cold and heartless, but the pain needs to be felt in their own houses in order to effect even the slightest chance of change.

“Migrants from Arizona”? Is that the new term for “illegal aliens from Mexico, Central and South America”?

But, but DC worked so hard to become a shining example of the 'sanctuary city' and all they have to show for it is homeless shelters filled with international trough feeders looking for the US government teat. The whole DC, Maryland, Virginia (DMV) area is getting exactly what the lefties fought so hard to obtain; another permanent underclass that is totally dependent on government to provide their every whim. Immigrant hordes will now contend for the unskilled jobs that the existing, DMV resident underclass can't or won't do. Lefties are so blind to reality.

Just when Washington DC elites thought they were so far away from the border crisis of Texas and Arizona it hits home. This is what open borders will do wait until a cold winter hits the reality will set in. The democrats created the problem but didn't ever think they would have to deal with it. Now send some to Delaware. FJB

Governors Abbot and Ducey are right over the target. More complaining = more migrants.

Their final destinations? Just where is that supposed to be? Maybe D.C. is their final destination.

Heard this locally this morning. Surprised to hear rino ducey taking part in this. Too busy campaigning in Georgia and flapping his jaws on CNN to address the border. He did take time from his bussing to bash Kari Lake and promote fellow rino robson. He was successful in getting traitor pence to endorce rino robson.
That guy, working hard for the people of Arizona, err his future.

Oh, Muriel, how much money you wanting? Those poor charities...write 'em a check. BTW: Abbott needs your video for his campaign ads. Wonder if he'll mention that he's spending $1400 per border jumper for the bus trip...and that it's only $542 to fly them one-way from Austin first class.

Gov. Abbott can't force any of the illegal aliens on these busses. They choose to get on the busses.
Since they chose to get on a bus to DC, that sure sounds like their chosen "final destination" to me. So deal with them, lie-beral goddess-wanna-be mayor!!!

DeeCee'ers are complaining about 4,000 Illegals. Another similar article I just read said 6,000 Illegals.
Consider that Texas and the other border states are being flooded with, on average, 7,000 Illegals EVERY DAY!
Hey DeeCee...... My Give-A-Dam's Busted!
It's time for YOU to 'Give-A-Dam' about the REST of the US!
