Arizona mayor slams Biden administration for leaving city 'completely in the dark' while migrants are 'dropped off'
I suppose to the Biden Administration, this isn't a crisis as long as they can drop off aliens wherever and whenever they want, thus absolving the Biden Admin. of any responsibility.
Part of the solution to a problem is recognizing when you have one. The Biden Admin. refuses to see it as any kind of problem at all.
No solutions will be forthcoming from it.
Just amnesty and a constant, steady wash of people coming here and many staying here illegally.
No problemo for the Biden Admin!

An Arizona mayor slammed the Biden administration for not providing his city with any documentation on the health status or number of migrants being "dropped off" in the town by the federal government.

"We're a very economically depressed community. We can barely afford to take care of the people that we have here in our community now," Gila Bend Mayor Chris Riggs said. "And as of the 2nd [of March], Border Patrol advised us they're basically going to drop people off here and [say] 'They're your problem.'"
Riggs, who is an independent, said so far the administration has left his city "completely in the dark" about the migrants dropped off there, including their health status and how many the city can expect to host.
Riggs also expressed frustration that the situation will cost the city "tens of thousands of dollars a year to be able just to provide them with a bottle of water and a sandwich when they get dropped off."
ARIZONA SHERIFF SAYS BIDEN PLAYING 'POLITICS' AT BORDER IS CREATING 'HUGE CRISIS': 'WE'RE SERIOUSLY IN TROUBLE'
The mayor said that the price tag is a result of the lack of communication from the federal government, which leaves him unprepared.
"They're not able to give us how many. They can't give us what background[s] these people are. They can't tell us what their health issues are. I've got a lot of seniors and elders here between Gila Bend and San Lucy Village that are very susceptible to COVID," Riggs said. "We have not seen the [coronavirus] outbreak that other areas have seen in Arizona, yet we're going to get punished for [the federal government's] choices."
The mayor said that repeated attempts for information have gone unanswered by the administration, leaving him frustrated with trying to pick up the pieces of a "crisis they started."
"We are completely in the dark," Riggs said. "Give us something. We're still not getting anything. So I mean, we're really frustrated with how we're being treated through a crisis that they started."
Riggs isn't the only official in a border state expressing frustration with the new administration's policies, with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announcing he was deploying the National Guard and law enforcement officials to the border to assist with the crisis.
The administration has so far been unwilling to acknowledge the situation at the border is a "crisis," instead insisting that it is a "challenge" that will be overcome as they continue to implement that president's immigration agenda.

Hell, let's just do away with borders at all.
Democrats will be thrilled, and just think of the money that we spend on "border security" which can be diverted into housing and feeding the millions who will end up coming.
And with the huge push for $15 per hour minimum wage, just think how many U.S. dollars the newly-arrived immigrants will be able to send back to their home countries!
Sounds like a Democratic plan!
Sounds like idiotic Republican propaganda.
It reads like this 'mayor' doesn't know anything. People are supposedly being dropped off in his town and he doesn't know about them?
Then you simply continue to misunderstand what you have heard.
Democrats want amnesty. Do Republicans?
Democrats are pushing for $15 minimum wage. Are Republicans?
Republicans are for strengthening border security. Are Democrats?
WTF have you "heard" that you claim is Republican propaganda?
What part of the reality of what is happening at the border are you denying?
Your boy Biden has totally fucked up the "compassionate" Democrat party image with this stupid political stunt.
Of course he knows about them. But he is questioning why Biden didn't warn anyone about this surge of humanity and unaccompanied minors that his open door policy set in motion.
If one actually reads the article, the mayor outlined his problems obtaining info from the Biden Administration.
from the START of the article:
Yeah, really, really sounds like the mayor can't get diddly-squat from the Biden Administration. And YOU blame the MAYOR?
LMMFAO!
Just a lame attempt to blame a mayor for the failures of the Biden Admin..
Can't be having the Admin. admitting that there even IS a problem, never mind taking any responsibility for their policies.
He doesn't even know how many people were supposedly dropped off in his town.
I can play your game...Did I blame anybody?
I don't recall saying anything was his fault.
Oh yeah, I didn't...
R-i-g-h-t.
Of course you weren't blaming the mayor for the failures of the Biden Admin.
And the sky is raining money today, too.
Your Comment 1. But you already know that.
Was there anything I wrote that you can really dispute?
I doubt it sincerely.
Or you would have done so by now.
I'm not denying or affirming anything about what may be happening at the border. Where did you get that? Your question is merely a deflection.
My comment is referring to Comment 1, and it still stands.
Show me where I was.
If you are going to accuse me of something, a little proof would be nice.
Already did.
Read all the posts.
Enough of your games.
I sincerely doubt that you don't know your comment was propaganda.
I don't care what you doubt.
Same to you. Only, double.
I appreciate and will take your non-response as acquiescence to the facts laid out in my post.
Thanks!
No you didn't...
I did, but I don't have all day and night to explain it to you.
No biggie.
Your "take" is farcical and irrelevant.
Have a really wonderful day.
Who was the last POTUS to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants?
Of course not, when was the last time Republicans gave a crap about the working class?
Wrong, Republicans are for building a wall which does nothing about illegal border crossings, but does put a lot of money in their friends pockets.
That Trump actually won the election......
You did? Then quote me where I laid any blame on his feet.
Show me the proof...
Barack Obama
That isn't any kind of answer to what I asked.
When the basics can't be answered, why even bother, right?
Deflect away!
Read what you wrote, read what I wrote.
I told you I don't have time to explain it all over and over and over again in the hopes you'll get it.
Is there something in that you fail to grasp?
Almost always!
thanks!!
It seems there is something you fail to grasp.
You still cannot show in my comment where I blamed him for anything.
Grasping at straws...
If you weren't blaming the mayor, then your comments are irrelevant.
Move on now.
Not for you to decide.
My opinion certainly IS for me to decide.
Like it or not, that is the way it is!
Again...not what I said.
So?
Judging from the seed, the Mayor doesn't have any clue whether ANYONE has actually been dropped off in his town. An article that I read said that CBP is working with NGOs to aid asylum seekers with testing, quarantining if necessary and then transportation to family or friends.
Me thinks the Mayor dost protest too much.
That is an answer that goes to a right wing conspiracy.
If it is your answer about amnesty, you are either mistaken, or you are propagating a known falsehood. But I am sure you would never purposely post a known falsehood, so I assume you are just mistaken. The correct answer is Ronald Reagan.
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986—signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on November 6, 1986—granted amnesty to about 3 million illegal immigrants in the United States.
Why is the Biden Admin. not forthcoming with information about who and how many they release into unsuspecting communities?
And how do you know that the folks dropped off in this town were asylum seekers?
History shows that it is Republicans that are pro amnesty. You do agree that Reagan was a Republican, don't you?
I'm not addressing your question, I am addressing your statement that Republicans want to strengthen border security. Doesn't the promise of amnesty by Republicans give cause to increased border crossings, more so than anything Biden, or any Democrat, has done?
Prove they weren't...
The Seven Amnesties Passed by Congress | NumbersUSA
And Biden is proposing a very large amnesty.
I didn't claim they were or weren't.
Why is the Biden Admin. hiding info?
What is he hiding, and why?
Congrats, you just proved that A Democratic President did one, and a Republican President did one. Doesn't exactly prove your point, does it?
So to paraphrase, your comment was full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing
Wait... Are you claiming that a wall will stop illegal immigrants? Really????
But surely it would stop any 8 year old illegal immigrants....
Good thing that ladders were never invented in Mexico
Also thankfully there are no Home Depots in Mexico.
At least we don't have to worry about anyone going under it.
Ummm, your seed is about ONE Mayor in ONE town who has NO evidence that ANYONE has been dropped off at all.
AGAIN, there is NO evidence that ANYONE has been dropped off in 'this town' Tex. In fact, another less bias article states that the NGOs that the Biden Administration is working with have asked the CBP to AVOID releasing anyone in backward towns like Gila Bend because they don't have a bus or train station.
While not all that are being released are asylum seekers, those that are released in most counties in AZ, like Puma, are being tested before being released to travel.
Lol Gila Bend, what a dump. Hell, immigrants probably made that shit hole a little better.
So the immigrants can shelter, feed, and educate themselves, and take care of their own health needs without any help, right?
Sure why not. I’m really not all that concerned about immigrants/immigration. I just wanted to make fun of Gila Bend.
No, they can not, and the Biden Admin, made it clear that it isn't even a priority for them to take care of themselves.
Meh, again I don’t really care that much. Gila Bend=Trash Pile was my whole point.
Sure, sure, THAT is what the whole point of the article was.
Right.
SMMFH
It appears more so every day that Biden and his handlers did their usual thing and failed to have a plan for this foreseeable out of control event, and didn't even think of possible unintended consequences.
Yep.........
Maybe they all strived to be engineers at some point in their lives.
I'm sorry... I couldn't help myself. I'm just kidding around.
It seems once again that lack of planning is the real problem.
We've been down this same road not long ago.
So sad. even kids learn from their mistakes, eventually.
Yeah, and you can see the "posters" who just want to play Urinary Olympics and provide absolutely nothing to the discussion.
The mayor's problem is the same one for many, many of the towns/cities in the SW border states. The Feds don't need to answer to the local communities - not in their chain of command. Illegal Aliens are continually dropped off in communities, usually at a bus station or train station, so they can get transportation to some other location in wishful thinking that the Illegal Alien can get to a "sponsor" of sorts. It don't happen. The Illegal Aliens will usually, if they have the funds, go to a larger city, get off the bus/train and "disappear" into the masses.
If I was the governor of a border state, I would be purchasing buses and parking them at the border, as these illegal immigrants are released or come across the border illegally, I would offer every one of them free transportation to Washington DC, and would drop them off at Congressional Complex. When there are thousands of people sleeping on the Whitehouse lawn, maybe something will be done to address the issues at the border.
Nah - wouldn't work. The administration would probably call the NG, DC Cops and others to bust up the riot.
Well until the problem actually effects the people who are making the decision, nothing will ever change!
