Washington mayor torched as hypocrite for complaining about border migrants bused to DC
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser is being criticized as a "Not-in-my-backyard" hypocrite for complaining about the influx of asylum seekers utilizing homeless shelters and other city services, months after Texas began busing migrants to the place they say caused the overall crisis.
Bowser called the migrant issue "significant" and said she is urging a coordinated federal response, further claiming migrants are being "tricked" into boarding buses to Washington.
Earlier this year, video circulated of buses arriving from Texas and debarking passengers off Massachusetts Avenue near Capitol Hill.
Fox News host Pete Hegseth said it is ironic for Bowser to call for a coordinated response from the Biden administration, when that is what Republicans have been calling for since he took office and chipped away at Donald Trump's border security policies:
"I've been wanting Greg Abbott to declare an invasion which gives constitutionally the state of Texas additional powers. And I downplayed what he was doing on busing illegals to D.C.; I think I was wrong on that," he said.
"They're not being tricked. They're being asked. They're volunteering to go to Washington, D.C. as a result. Now they're flooded in swamp. And she's admitting what we always knew about big city leftist elitists," Hegseth added, saying the admission is that the "elite" class wants the rest of America to suffer under their policy decisions, "as long as they're in someone elses backyard, not ours."
Hegseth wondered aloud whether Bowser now understands the real plight of officials in New Mexico, Texas and Arizona where migrants have been illegally entering from Mexico en masse for years.
"It's one of the best examples we've seen yet of the complete double standard they live in. She just she said it on TV for us," he said.
Former Trump Treasury Assistant Secretary Monica Crowley echoed Hegseth, adding Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is not alone in trying to redirect illegal migrants to places where President Biden and the elite class will feel the repercussions of their policy actions.
She pointed to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has openly considered busing illegal immigrants to Delaware after "ghost flights" were landing in Jacksonville and dispersing migrants statewide.
Officials in other states are floating similar measures including Pennsylvania's Republican gubernatorial nominee, State Sen. Doug Mastriano, who touted a proposal that would levy international monetary remittances made by illegal immigrants and divert the revenue to lower property taxes.
"It's a great way to deter illegal immigration and we can put that new revenue towards tax breaks for legal citizens," Mastriano, R-Franklin, told Fox News.
Fellow Pennsylvania State Sen. Mario Scavello drafted a plan he said was inspired by DeSantis to relocate migrants flown into the president's hometown of Scranton to the president's current hometown of Wilmington and vicinity.
If the ghost flights are "good enough for Pennsylvania, then why not redirect the relocation to Delaware?" Scavello, R-Monroe, said in January.

Why don't you want them, Muriel?
I recommend Bowser sit down with the Biden dumpster fire and figure out how to take care of the problem it caused.
Her solution is to keep the illegals in Texas and other republican run states.
That is a fair assessment.
Yep, cannot have them illegals fouling her leftist liberal Democrat run paradise of a city!
If you have to ask that, then there is no explaining it to you.
Unless CNN, MSNBC or the DNC tells them they won't believe it
First you have to ask a reasonable question to get a reasonable answer. You did not ask one, so you should not be surprised you got no answer. Bye now.
she does not want feral cats dropped off in her city?
Yep.
Biden's open border policy has allowed millions of so-called "processed" illegal aliens, hundreds of thousands of got-aways, and untold thousands of pounds of Fentanyl and other illegal drugs to pour into every state but Bowser doesn't want to feed, house, educate a few thousand illegals who volunteered to go to her crime-ridden city? Hahahahaha!
"...are being "tricked" into boarding buses to Washington."
No - if you go to the headquarters, you'll get the best possible treatment.
Funny that she said she "thinks" they are being tricked without any actual proof. Heaven forbid she stops at the bus station and asks them.
There's no way she's going near the bus station. Homeless, and now illegals? She's cowering behind her armed security.
Nah ... that's what the left does. Shoot, aim, ready.
Remember the Cambridge professor, Nick Sandmann, Kyle Rittenhouse, and others?
Add Jose Alba -- the NYC bodega worker Alvin Bragg immediately threw into Rikers Prison on "murder charges" with $500K bail for the crime of defending himself when 2 people physically assaulted HIM first. Glad that Bragg finally grew big enough stones to drop those ridiculous charges ... but it took him 3 weeks to do it.
The pablum swilling in this seed is excessive.
