The poem by Emma Lazarus on the base of the Statue of Liberty was gospel for the Democratic Party under President Donald Trump. Airhead CNN personality Jim Acosta made a name for himself quoting the “Give us your tired, your poor” lines like they were legally binding and not just part of an old fundraising pitch to the public to raise money to build the statue’s base. These Democrats were outraged any government impediments would be put in place to hinder the endless flow of illegal aliens into the country. Now that they’re getting a big dose of their own medicine, those Democrats are singing a different tune.
Newly minted racist Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson told racist MSNBC personality and former mock civil rights leader Al Sharpton that, by bussing illegal aliens to Democrat-run cities, Texas Governor Greg Abbott “is attacking democratically-run cities, and particularly cities that are being led by Black leaders or leaders-of-color. This is unconscionable. I mean, it’s a very raggedy approach. And quite frankly, not only is it reckless and raggedy, but it is evil-spirited.”
It might be “evil-spirited” to send anyone to Chicago, considering what Democrats have done to that once-great city. But it is not evil or anything negative to send people quickly to where they want to go.
While it would be much better if the federal government kept these people out of the country or quickly deported them the second they were apprehended, Democrats won’t allow either of those. So, why not send them along to these left-wing paradises these illegal aliens broke into our country to go to in the first place?
Governor Abbott isn’t sweeping up random illegals at the border and putting them on buses, these are people who plan to go there on their own, either because they think they have work or have family there. Both of those options, by the way, could be fixed by enforcing the law – punishing companies that hire illegals and deporting others, therefore having no family to lure more there.

No, these are people who are making their way to Chicago already or they’re too stupid to understand a basic question about where they want to go, in which case they will never even come close to contributing to society and should be deported twice as fast.
Illegals arrived in Chicago every day, New York too. They just didn’t do it at a central location so people could notice like they do when they get off a charter bus.
People noticing is the problem for the Democrat politicians, because if people notice they will next demand accountability from the people in charge, and nothing scares the hell out of an extremist progressive politician like people noticing what they’re doing.
That’s what upset Chicago’s Johnson.
For generations, Democrat politicians in major cities, usually minority politicians, operated without any oversight, aside from the occasional fight with the city council. The press didn’t hold them accountable, the party machine didn’t hold them accountable, and neither did the voters – you pretty much had to murder someone to be forced out of office. (I grew up in Detroit, where it took a series of scandals, including buying illegal gold coins from South Africa during apartheid, for Coleman Young to finally leave office after decades of destruction.)
Abbott busing illegals to these cities is shining a bright spotlight on these politicians and impact of their policies they’ve never had to defend before. They’d been releasing illegals who’d committed crimes without informing Immigration and Customs Enforcement because they were sanctuary cities for decades. It’s nothing new. What is new is people being aware. And Democrats hate that.
They’re content with small border towns being overrun and overwhelmed, not them. But when the buses empty, these illegals are greeted by media and activists, which means they also have to be greeted by government officials looking to “help” them. Government help is not free, it costs quite a bit, actually. To pay for the illegals, Americans have to be cut off, or at least shoved to the back of the line. Again, people notice.
Democrats love it when other places, places run by Republicans, are hurting from progressive policies, but when they get a big, steady dose of their own medicine they absolutely hate it. Well, pucker up, buttercup, you should continue to get a steady dose of your own medicine until you’re cured of the stupid or you’re no longer in power. Either option for your surrender is fine with me.
