D.C. councilwoman Brianne Nadeau cried during a presser that lawmakers have made her city a ‘border town’. While many Americans can understand her frustration Nadeau pointed her finger at the only officials trying to thwart the growing immigration issue. She failed to call out the real problem which is the recently dismantled immigration laws and open border problems th US currently has under the BIden administration.
Instead, Nadeau blamed Governor Doug Ducey (R-AZ) and Governor Greg Abbott’s (R-TX).
“The governors of Texas and Arizona have created this crisis, and the federal government has not stepped up to assist the District of Columbia. So we along with our regional partners will do what we’ve always done. We’ll rise to the occasion,” Nadeau said.
Governor Doug Ducey (R-AZ) joined Governor Greg Abbott’s (R-TX) efforts in defending the southern border by bussing illegals to Washington DC. Abbott has been an especially loud advocate for government intervention at the border as it was supposed to be the responsibility of the federal government to protect homeland security—However, the Biden admin abandoned them. So the two governors have worked this out to the best of their ability.
“In many ways, the governors of Texas and Arizona have turned us into a border town. We don’t know how long this will take to resolve. We don’t know how long they will continue bussing,” Nadeau said. “And so the right thing to do here is to be prepared to ensure we can greet every bus, we can get people off on the right foot, we can get them to where they want to go, and that will ultimately help them in their immigration process.”
Texas and Arizona have sent dozens of busses containing thousands of migrants to Washington, D.C, New York City, and Chicago. Local leaders in the Democrat-run cities have complained about the strain that the migrants are placing on local social programs. The Republican governors have said that that strain is a fraction of that placed on actual border cities in their states.
The Republican governors have picked Washington, D.C., New York City, and Chicago because they are known as “sanctuary cities” that openly refuse to work with federal immigration authorities to deport many illegal migrants.
“President Biden’s inaction at our southern border continues putting the lives of Texans—and Americans—at risk and is overwhelming our communities,” Abbott said in a statement last week announcing the expansion of the bussing program to Chicago. “Mayor Lightfoot loves to tout the responsibility of her city to welcome all regardless of legal status, and I look forward to seeing this responsibility in action as these migrants receive resources from a sanctuary city with the capacity to serve them.”

While the governors of Arizona and Texas have bussed many illegals to D.C. the issue that city now faces isn’t a fraction of what those states have faced since Biden took office. Their suffering isn’t from pride, both governors along with several other officials from their states have caught out assistance from the Biden administration but were given the cold soldier while the administration worked on the border wall in blue states.
Nadeau’s misguided anger also shows her ignorance. It is not the job of individual states to uphold border security. These borders are physically linked to foreign governments and should be the first priority for the federal government—As it was not that long ago. The fact that the Biden-Harris crew has created an environment where states cannot get aid should concern everyone.
