The Democratic mayors of Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles and New York say they are ready to travel to meet President Joe Biden next week as they press for $5 billion in funding to help cope with the surge in migrants arriving in their cities.
In a letter released Wednesday, they say they are having to get by with little help from his administration.
Such is the urgency, that they are proposing to travel to Washington, D.C., for a crisis meeting within days. In the meantime, migrants are sleeping in police station foyers in Chicago. In New York, a cruise ship terminal was turned into a shelter.

You got exactly what you pretended to be. Oh so high and mighty progressive saviors of the oppressed, open arms. Unlike the Republicans who wanted a secure border. Reality can be a slap up the side of the head. You know the old saying "Be careful what you ask for, you might get it". Good luck talking to the Swiss Cheese brain who lives in our WH.

Border is under control and the migrants won't cost us a dime. They have sponsors. We don't turn our back on refugees who need better paying johns. That's not who we are. Diversity is our strength. It's Trumps' fault. MAGA terrorists.

Biden will bribe them with promises of millions of dollars. To be delivered as soon as the bills are printed in the Treasury.

They liked illegals a lot better when they were confined to Texas and Arizona. Now they're experiencing them, their lawlessness, and entitlement. I have no sympathy.

When the southern boarder cities and towns were being overwhelmed by illegals, these cities smuggled virtue signaled that they were sanctuary cities. Virtually nothing was done to help these boarder cities and towns. Now that these sanctuary cities are having to deal with only a tenth of of what the boarder cities have been dealing with, they are screaming like scalded dogs and demanding huge federal subsidies. It seems that they only have virtue when someone else pays for it.

C'mon man, don't tell me that many democrat mayors got smart all of a sudden. Migrants (illegal aliens) and the homeless have been overrunning their cities for over a decade with a brief break period from 2016 to 2021. So it's not the parasites, it's the number of parasites that is bothering you? As usual, you think spending more money is the answer?

So they want taxpayers (i.e. Uncle Sugar) to pay all the bills for the unwanted illegals. The easy thing would be to SEND THEM F'N HOME.
