Did those counties declare themselves sanctuaries for illegal aliens? How many of them vote Democrat and support unfettered illegal immigration?
NYC sues 30 counties for refusing asylum-seekers
New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) announced Wednesday the city is filing a lawsuit against 30 New York counties over executive orders that aim to prevent the city from sending asylum-seekers to their jurisdictions.
“This lawsuit aims to put an end to this xenophobic bigotry and ensure our state acts as one as we work together to manage this humanitarian crisis fairly and humanely, as we have done from the beginning and as we will continue to do,” Adams said in a statement.
The announcement states at least 30 counties have filed executive orders to stop New York City from arranging for asylum-seekers to stay in hotels within their jurisdictions at the city’s expense. The lawsuit argues that the executive orders are an “unlawful attempt” to prevent New York City from addressing a statewide emergency and humanitarian crisis.
The announcement also noted that New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D) emergency order emphasized there is an “already a large-scale humanitarian crisis and emergency” that she expects to get worse. According to the announcement, the city is providing shelter to more than 47,200 asylum-seekers.
“Since this crisis began, New York City has — virtually on its own — stepped up to provide shelter, food, clothing, and other services to asylum-seekers arriving in our city. We are doing our part and will continue to do our part, but we
Why is declared sanctuary city NYC kicking the illegals out, rather than finding ways to take of them? And how many counties are Republican voting? Twenty four. Some are very close, some are massive Republican counties. Many are way upstate and way west. They never asked for any of this, and do not want this. Why not send them all to the Democrat voting counties, such as Erie (Buffalo’s county) and Albany (where the capital is)?
Under what authority does Adams have to ship those illegals elsewhere? The federal government sets immigration policy, as we were told by Democrats after the Arizona SB1070 lawsuits. Democrats get very upset when they are forced to practice what they preach.
So, it’s kidnapping and human trafficking for Florida and Texas to send the illegals to New York City, but it’s not kidnapping and human trafficking for NYC to send them to outlying counties?
NYC declared itself a “sanctuary city”. Did these other locations do that? I’m betting NOT.
