The border crisis is one of the Democratic Party’s own making, and it is now making homelessness worse in Democrat-run areas.
New York City is booting illegal immigrants from homeless shelters as the city prepares to see more tent cities. “People are going to be sleeping on our streets,” Mayor Eric Adams said. The city has issued 21,000 notices to vacate to both individual illegal immigrants and families since July.
Massachusetts, meanwhile, is rapidly approaching maximum occupancy in its shelters, meaning that the state plans to begin putting families on wait lists. Those families will be left out in the cold in Massachusetts in November and beyond because the state simply can’t provide shelter for all of them.
So much for all of that Democratic Party empathy.
The reality is that the Democratic Party’s view that all illegal immigrants should be welcomed and provided with “sanctuary” was never empathetic. Democrats embraced it because they thought those gross Republicans would be the only ones to deal with the issue in Texas or Arizona. They were just fine with forcing Republicans to shoulder the burden and for those illegal immigrants to live homeless in Texas instead, as Democrats virtue-signaled about how welcoming they were to a handful of illegal immigrants in their own communities.
This was never the “empathetic” approach, which should now be clear even to Democrats as they cast illegal immigrants out into the northeastern winter cold because they can’t live up to their “sanctuary” promises. The border crisis has continued to expose the Democratic Party’s holier-than-thou act as both fraudulent and unsustainable.
It would be humorous if real people weren’t suffering as a result.
