Democrat voters are getting tired of being mugged by the reality they created

By Andrea Widburg

Snug in their northern cities far from the open southern border, Democrats condescendingly chided conservatives and those living in southern border regions for their heartlessness and racism. “No person is illegal,” they chanted. “America is a nation of immigrants,” they told us. “Give us your tired, your hungry, your poor, your huddled masses, blah, blah, blah,” they recited as if a poem had the force of law. And then Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott, joined by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, had the inspired idea to send the illegal aliens flooding Texas to places such as Martha’s Vineyard, New York, and Chicago. Now, those smug cities are begging for relief.

It was cute when Martha’s Vineyard, after hosting what was essentially a community-wide barbecue for the few illegal aliens who landed in their elite, white paradise, swiftly sent them on their way. That was easy. It’s harder, though, in places like New York and Chicago.

In Chicago, residents in Brighton Park were furious that the city is planning to build a migrant camp in their community:

Tensions escalated in the city’s Brighton Park neighborhood during a meeting Tuesday evening over a proposed encampment for approximately 2,000 migrants [note: “migrants” means illegal aliens].

Residents say they only found out about the project when they recently spotted construction crews working at the site. The discovery led to protests, and on Monday, city officials confirmed their intent for the 10-acre vacant lot, located at 38th and California.

…Residents, on Tuesday, were divided on the plan. Some are calling for better living conditions for migrant families, while others say they’re concerned over safety and don’t want the encampment in the neighborhood.

“I don’t want any of my neighbors to have to live on the streets or in tents,” one resident said.

“We have concerns about our students, our children who walk on this street every day, how do we ensure their safety,” another community member said.

I’d feel sorry for these residents if it weren’t for the fact that, according to this tweet, 87% of the people in this community voted for Biden:

Meanwhile, New Yorkers are getting fed up with the burden that illegal aliens are placing on their city. For example, New York is paying over $11 million just to wash laundry for illegal aliens. That’s on top of the $23 million the city is shelling out for other services for illegal aliens, some of which also include dirty laundry

Moreover, all this is just a small part of the billions of dollars New York is spending to take care of people who entered this country illegally. Funnily enough, New Yorkers didn’t mind when that cost was being borne by small communities along the Texas border. Indeed, except for Staten Island, New York City enthusiastically backed “Open Borders” Biden.

Given the budgetary costs of the illegal aliens, not to mention their taking over homeless shelters and hotels, it’s no surprise that Mayor Adams is taking a page out of Governors Abbott’s and DeSantis’s book: He’s shipping those aliens out of the city.
